Michael Porter Jr. Reflects on Facing LeBron James and the Lakers in the Playoffs

Porter said he loved Nuggets–Lakers series because the matchups always favored him. “I always cooked the Lakers. They didn’t really have a guy for me,” he explained, recalling Denver’s sweep and 4-1 win in different years. Facing LeBron added extra weight. “He’s the epitome of greatness in sports” Porter said. MPJ averaged 16.8 points, 7.8 rebounds vs Lakers.
