If you do evil in heaven, you can still violate it; if you do evil by yourself, you cannot live.
Speaking of little Kevin- Porter , if you are not a die-hard Cavaliers fan, you may not be familiar with this name.
Even when many people first saw this name, they would think of the Nuggets’ , Michael Porter, . But this is not important, because the name may soon disappear from the NBA league.
According to The Athletic report, sources revealed that the Cavaliers plan to trade or lay off Kevin Porter, the rookie with the 30th overall pick in the first round of 2019, in the second season of his NBA career. Was given up by the team.
What caused the little Kevin Porter to come to an end in his NBA career that had just begun. Is it not enough? No. In his rookie season, Porter played a total of 50 games on behalf of the Cavaliers, averaging 23 minutes per game, 10.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists. Such data is already very good for a rookie who was selected last in the first round. In the Cavaliers' original team building plan, Kevin Porter has become a key training target. If he develops along the normal path, Porter has the hope of playing his own day in the NBA.
However, this buddy chose to destroy himself. According to many media reports, after the Cavaliers’ game against the Knicks, when Porter walked into the Cavaliers’ locker room and found that his locker had been given to the team’s new aid, Torreon Prince, Xiaobo Te was out of control, furious, clamoring, and threw food on the ground. When the Cavaliers general manager Altman rushed to the locker room and confronted Little Porter after hearing the news, fierce clashes were still erupting between the two sides.
Cavaliers coach Bikerstaff heard the quarrel in the locker room in the office, and then he walked into the locker room and was "shocked and disgusted" by what he heard.
In fact,The Cavaliers changed the players' lockers, which was mainly to comply with the NBA's foul rules. During special periods, there are strict regulations on how long everyone stays in the locker room. If it hadn't been for the little Porter buddy to be "ill," he wouldn't have made trouble in the team's locker room over such a trivial matter.
For a long time, Porter has had many off-court problems. Otherwise, with his basketball talent, he has a chance to be selected at a higher overall pick. Little Porter was born in Seattle, and his neighborhood is full of drugs, guns, and crime. When he was four years old, Little Potter's father was shot and killed for helping a friend who was beaten in a bar. The blow of losing his father at a young age added more frustration to Porter's life, and basketball was the only safe haven for Porter.
In the seventh grade, Porter often watched professional and local players play in a club. Sometimes Nate Robinson, Brandon Roy, Spencer Howe Both Ice and Jamal Crawford went there to play. At first, Porter just stood on the sidelines and watched him the ball. Later, he felt that he could also play on the court. He believed that his shooting was more accurate than them. Jamal- Crawford said: “Sometimes he will actively initiate a heads-up request to professional players during the timeout. He even bet us that he can shoot from any position you specify. Porter wants to We proved that he can play on the court, and in fact he did."
The recognition of NBA stars like Jamal Crawford is enough to show how outstanding Porter's basketball talent is. During the growth of Porter, Crawford has always provided him with life and basketball help, so that he will not get lost in the streets of Seattle. However, due to the influence of the surrounding environment, Little Potter has always been immature, and it is easy to fall into those chaotic worlds. At the University of Southern California, Porter was suspended for a while due to off-court issues. Unstable playing time prevented him from fully showing his talents and abilities in the NCAA league. All these factors added together and eventually affected the evaluation of NBA teams. In the 2019 draft, Xiao Porter's pick dropped until the 30th pick in the first round before he was selected.
This season, Porter has not played for the Cavaliers, not because of injuries, but because of the mental state of the players. Little Porter was involved in a car accident in November 2020. When the police arrived at the scene, a loaded pistol was found in his car. Then Little Potter was arrested. Fortunately, the charges were finally dropped and Little Potter was not. Found guilty.
Lenin once said: God will forgive young people who make mistakes. However, the 20-year-old Porter did not learn from his mistakes, but made mistakes again and again. In college, because of his off-court troubles, the draft pick dropped again and again. After landing in the NBA, he was still making trouble everywhere. Less than a last resort, the Cavaliers will not give up such a talented young man.
The locker room is rioted, which has touched the team's bottom line. Today's Little Porter has died socially in the NBA. I don't know if any team is willing to accept this 20-year-old after being given up by the Cavaliers.
Bynum , Sanders, White, so many lessons learned, young people, mice!
