@bucketgetter1312 5 лет назад

pray to god this young man makes an amazing comeback and he has a long career

@AlladinMclovin2334 5 лет назад

What happened to him. Tried looking him up on google and wiki It said Nuggets gave him this season off cause he had a past back injury.

@camerondrain8166 5 лет назад

God?

@Bilbus7 4 года назад

Why would we pray to a non existent God? If God does exist, then it caused this to happen in the first place.

@ramontovar-yampara3562 3 года назад

Elmers Mind Games That’s not how that works.

@NiWdLES 3 года назад

@@Bilbus7 You're only thinking about logical stuff. God is beyond human comprehension. Just because someone trust in God you question his commitment to his spiritual journey. He didn't force his beliefs on you but he expresses how much it means to him. If you question why bad things happen to him and blame it on God then you should have thought why believers stay true to their faith even if the world is tough on them. Better yet, they lean on God more rather than question him.

@hendrikfullgraf1031 5 лет назад

@IceManLikeGervin 5 лет назад

Much respect to MPJ for battling through his obstacles with a positive attitude...if he can get back 100% healthy with no back issues he has all the focus & talent in the world to maximize his potential. Quiet grind, loud shine!

@egyptianexcellence8861 5 лет назад

If I was an nba GM, I would have found a way to draft Young and Porter. Great and very successful young men. These are kids, you should trust your health staff to guide them back.

@ARHB23 5 лет назад

Trae young?? If so I agree 100% I've been saying since the draft the sun's should of traded back got young and picked up porter that would of been scary

@egyptianexcellence8861 5 лет назад

t tay oh forsure! You guys could have got a monster deal for Ayton too. These gms are so crazy for him. Trade Ayton to Atlanta for John Collins, Young, Spellman, and unprotected 2019 1st rd pick?? Draft Porter at 10. Core of Young, Porter, and Booker with a ever improving supporting cast of Collins, Spellman, Josh Jackson would be scary.

@icejax 5 лет назад

My favorite player in the 2018 Draft. Its awesome to see guys go into the league not afraid to proclaim their faith in God. Anyone can see how geniune Michael's Faith is. The league needs players like this. If you see this Mike... Stay that way, keep being a Godly example for those that see you on the outside. Your Special, God's Got you bro, your going to be great.

@Kampy_ 5 лет назад

The number of Mizzou fans who turned on Mike after he got hurt were a tiny minority- the vast majority of Mizzou fans know that MPJ had every intention of doing great things at Mizzou, and a lot of us think he DID do great things at Mizzou. Our men's hoops program was floundering in mediocrity for several years, then the Porter family moves back to Columbia and everything changes for the better. The entire Porter/Pingeton family is so intertwined with Mizzou and Columbia, we are lucky to have them as part of the Mizzou family.

@WeShowYou 5 лет назад

For sure. Even with him just signing that got a lot of guys including jontay to come.

@dfrnt_hues 5 лет назад

Haters will say it’s fake. I love MPJ ever since High School the kid has come off truly humble and beyond his years. Before he got hurt I thought he’d be the next media darling. But instead the media was lazy and called him a PF lol. Anyways I wish him the best and he’ll be. Star by 2020-2021 season

MPJ u probly won't see this and it might now effect u at all but I just want u to know that ur the most inspirational person in my life When u committed to Washington I cried but then u came back after signing ur dad as an assistant and then I woke up one morning and saw that u could miss the whole season I went and watched almost every single high school game that u played in I could find and I still watch ur highlights when I'm sad Then u came back and I thought we had a chance at a tourney run after the loss I was so sad and wished u wouldn't have in case it made the injury worse. I'm so glad u got drafted and I follow ur life a lot U really inspired me and a lot of other Missouri fans and other people too I hope u recover and hav a great career so thanks Michael. U the best Shout out to u to Jontay I hope u recover and get picked up by someone cuz u hav a lot of potential

God bless you brother! Keep your eyes on Jesus! You learned an important lesson early as a foundation of what God will do through you and you will face similar challenges (but even more fierce) in your NBA career. They will try to keep you down, pull you this way and that way, and tear you apart and trap you when your values are different than what they promote. Darkness hates the light. You cannot serve two masters. Keep the faith and fight the good fight. Keep your eyes on the author and perfecter of your faith. He rejoices over you His son... and His grace is enough for you. We are all proud of you!

@eczotiic8026 5 лет назад

Damn. He got injured before the season started last year, and his brother got injured before the season started this year. That’s stuff. Hopefully both can carve out successful HoF careers and maybe end up in the same team.

@SJT.IN.KC85 5 лет назад

I thought you were going to be my favorite player of all time, up there with the likes of Marcus Denmon and Kareem Rush. It didn't happen but this puts alot of perspective on your situation. You'll always be a Tiger and I'll follow your career to the end. I still wonder what could have been!
