Overview
- On Lonzo Ball’s Ball in the Family podcast, Ball said his ninth‑grade self would dominate the WNBA, and Porter asserted he would have done so in eighth grade.
- Porter cited practicing against his sisters at Missouri and future pros such as Sophie Cunningham, a timeline that reporters noted does not align with when Cunningham played there.
- Porter said Brooklyn has had conversations asking him to steer clear of certain subjects on shows, and GM Sean Marks previously confirmed such talks took place.
- The clip fueled broad online pushback over the men‑versus‑women framing and revived scrutiny of Porter’s recent run of provocative off‑court remarks.
- Porter is averaging about 24.2 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists for Brooklyn, a dynamic that heightens PR stakes in a market where the Nets share ownership and an arena with the WNBA’s Liberty.
