This week, Michael Porter Jr. of the Brooklyn Nets joins ‘The Old Man and the Three’ hosted by Cam Johnson of the Denver Nuggets — that’s right…it’s a podcast featuring the very two players that were traded for each other.
They obviously discuss what went down with the trade, the differences in playing for the Nuggets and the Nets, Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, and their overall adjustments on both teams.
MPJ also gets very candid about his back and shoulder injuries, why he was disappointed in his draft process, and his early career with the Nuggets. They also have an awesome conversation about the differences in their shots, the NBA trade market, and so much more. Let’s go!
