Michael Porter Jr. Drops Controversial Claim, Suggests McDonald’s All-American Would Defeat WNBA All-Stars

Now, on a stream, the Brooklyn Nets player said that the high schoolers would overpower the pros, echoing his past comments against the WNBA as he said: “If the WNBA All-Star team, if the Olympic team played the McDonald’s All-American high school players, it’s one of them things, bro. You can’t dance around it. In high school, when I was in high school, we were grown men, pretty much. If we play the WNBA All-Star team, that, no disrespect, bro. No disrespect, bro. I’m not even gonna say it.” And while Porter insists “no disrespect,” fans see his remarks as dismissive, especially as the WNBA continues to rise in attendance, TV ratings, and cultural relevance.
