Through the NBA offseason, the Denver Nuggets world tour is still in full swing. Aaron Gordon and Nikola Jokic first traveled to Serbia together. Michael Porter Jr. is now in Taiwan for a baseball event.
Porter arrived to find a throng of admirers waiting for him, and he quickly autographed baseballs, basketballs, and posters for them. On Saturday, Michael Porter Jr. traveled to Taiwan to toss the opening pitch in a baseball game at the Taichung Intercontinental Baseball Stadium.
Basketball has become a truly global sport, as evidenced by the welcome Taiwanese supporters gave Porter at the airport. The Denver Nuggets aren’t the NBA franchise with the biggest market, and Michael Porter Jr. isn’t even the team’s most well-liked player. Despite this, Porter was greeted at the airport by a multi-time All-Star, which demonstrates just how fervently fans throughout the world support their teams.
NBA supporters who love the game should support Michael Porter Jr.’s tale. He transitioned from being viewed as a “problem” on the Denver Nuggets and a shot-chucker to an NBA champion who actually helped his team win a championship. Porter demonstrated that no one should be stereotyped into how they are perceived as a rookie by the way his game and maturity have developed.
