Nets' Michael Porter Jr. Claims Second-Best NBA Shooter Behind Stephen Curry

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. confidently ranks himself among the NBA's elite shooters, asserting that only Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is clearly a better shooter than him. Porter Jr. includes notable sharpshooters like Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Trae Young, Damian Lillard, and Duncan Robinson as peers who are on the same level as him. Curry's status as the greatest shooter of all time is widely recognized, with a record number of three-pointers made and multiple championships. Porter Jr.'s career three-point shooting percentage of around 40.6% supports his claim of being one of the league's top shooters. While some fans criticize Porter Jr. for being one-dimensional, his shooting was pivotal in the Denver Nuggets’ recent championship success and continues to define his game with the Nets. His candid self-assessment during a Twitch livestream highlights his belief that he belongs in the conversation with the NBA's best shooters behind Curry.
