Nuggets' Michael Porter Jr makes bold claim over Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Giannis Antetokounmpo

Michael Porter Jr. has named Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kevin Durant and Steph Curry in his list of top 3 favourite players. In an interview with Clutch Points, Denver Nuggets small forward's explained why he admires those NBA stars. Porter Jr, drafted by the Nuggets back in 2018 and reached Western Conference last year, being one of the key players in the roster. He has gained plenty of experience playing against the best in the league, however, Giannis, Steph and KD are the ones, that drive him to become even better. For the Milwaukee Bucks' star Giannis Porter Jr. has emphasized the mentality. And that's not a surprise, considering the journey of the Greek Freak, from epic fail moments to NBA finals MVP.
“I think Giannis, just strictly for his mentality. You know that dude can airball two free throws in a row and he won’t care at all. He’s gonna come down and try to dunk on you or shoot a three, he just doesn’t care,” Nuggets rising star said. 
For KD and Steph, Porter mentioned the unique style and and basketball abilities.
“KD I think he’s just a master at the game of basketball. He can do everything. He’s seven foot, he’s around my size, so I always look to his game. Then Steph, everyone enjoys watching Steph play, the deep threes, he got the handles. He’s just a joy out there and his presence is really unique. I respect his approach to the game,” he added. 
Unsurprisingly, before being drafted by Nuggets, Poprter Jr told he considered himself a mix of Durant and Antetokounmpo. Nuggets will expect much more from one of their best players, who did work out with Steph during the pre-season. While Jamal Murray will be out for the whole season, many expect Porter Jr. to step up for the team alongside with Nikola Jokic. Michael has already shown his talent, constantly learning from his favourite stars. No doubt he will motivate himself to give it a go.   Source - ClutchPoints Follow us on Twitter!
