Nets forward new player: James works very hard, but many people slackened after getting the contract

Former Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr., who just joined the Brooklyn Nets this summer, talked about topics related to NBA players on his podcast show Curious Mike. Porter Jr. made it clear that not every player who plays in the NBA is a very hard-working player.

Potter Jr. said: Many people have a basic misunderstanding about the NBA, that is, everyone generally believes that every NBA player is a very hard-working player. Indeed, talent and opportunity are essential for an NBA player, but a hard work attitude is also a key factor in players' ability to enter the league. In fact, not every player will continue to polish his skills, maintain his figure or pay attention to his health after entering the NBA. Now you may hear some news, such as a veteran like LeBron James who has played in the league for more than 20 years, he is definitely a very dedicated player, and he is indeed extremely hardworking in his daily work. But there are also some players who start to slack off after getting a big contract, and this phenomenon is not an isolated case. The reality is that not every player works very hard.

In the NBA regular season last season, Porter Jr. made a total of 77 appearances for his old club, the Denver Nuggets in 82 games, averaging 33.7 minutes per game, averaging 18.2 points, 7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 50.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 39.5%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 76.8%. In the playoffs, Porter Jr. made a total of 14 appearances, averaging 31.1 minutes per game, with averaging 9.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 0.9 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. His shooting percentage was 39.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 34.3%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 71.4%.

also made a deal this summer and sent him to the Nets. The Nuggets packaged Porter Jr. and the 2032 Nuggets' unprotected first-round pick to the Nets, and exchanged them for Cameron Johnson from the Nets. In the new season, Porter Jr. actually has the opportunity to get a lot of ball rights and mobile phone opportunities at the Nets, and he also has the opportunity to fully prove his abilities to everyone. Porter Jr.'s performance in the playoffs last season was terrible, and it can even be said that his poor performance is an important factor in the team's inability to go further in the playoffs. Porter Jr. was also a top five-star high school student in the United States back then, but his development after entering the NBA was actually somewhat worse than expected. Can he still seize the opportunity to prove his strength?
