Michael Porter Jr. was enjoying his offseason. With the Brooklyn Nets not in the playoffs, Porter used his time off by joining live streams. Now, he wouldn’t be the first NBA player to do so, as even Giannis Antetokounmpo joined IShowSpeed’s livestream last summer. However, what happened next with Porter Jr. might be a first and the last. Everyone’s still confused whether this was a situation of revenge, doxxing, or what exactly…

Porter Jr. joined popular influencer Neon’s livestream. They had a whole day planned pretty normally until one Instagram story forced them to change their plans. Celina Powell, a social media personality, had leaked the Nets forward’s address on her Instagram and trespassed into his home. She did this after something transpired on that livestream between all of them.
Upon finding out that his private details were now public, Michael Porter Jr. was shell-shocked. Also, there’s no record of a personal connection between them. However, the former Denver Nuggets forward was hopeful that Powell would break her troubling pattern. “I don’t want to talk to her, because I stood up for her, like, I even said that I hope she’s turning over a new leaf. I said all that. I don’t know what she’s mad about,” MPJ said on stream.
The only time he appeared to speak to her was once the Miami PD reached his house. In a video of the incident, Michael Porter Jr. could be seen speaking to someone inside a Rolls-Royce, with many suggesting it was Celina Powell. But having legal authorities involved wasn’t Porter’s biggest headache.
With his home address leaked, there was a major risk of invasion or unexpected gatherings. The peace was gone. That forced the hoopster to instantly move. Neon assisted him in packing his clothing and valuable jewelry. And with the stream still active, the pair had to change locations, hoping to keep it discreet this time.

It was an ugly development for Michael Porter Jr., who called it the “wildest” thing he’s ever seen. Aside from being doxxed, he still managed to complete his stream with Neon, and among the other moments was a hard-hitting confession.
Michael Porter Jr. speaks about his Nuggets trade after Denver crashes out
The Denver Nuggets shockingly lost in the first round to a highly depleted Minnesota Timberwolves. Reacting to the result, MPJ felt things would have been different had Denver not traded him over the summer. “Yes. Shouldn’t have traded me, man,” he said when asked if they would win with him on the roster.
Calling a spade a spade, Michael Porter Jr. did have some horrific playoff performances last season. However, many don’t consider the injury he played through. The Nets star couldn’t raise his shooting hand and wore a thick brace during the entire series against OKC. Yes, his averages dipped, but MPJ was still a prolific rebounder, adding some defensive structure with his size. That being said, he doesn’t regret his move to the Brooklyn Nets…
With the youngest roster in the NBA, MPJ is excited about the Nets’ future. “I’m living my best life in Brooklyn… I see the future. We are the youngest team in the league. We got a lot of money to spend. I think we’re going to get a really good player in the draft as well,” Porter said.
At this point, Brooklyn is far from a competitive team. They won just 20 games. However, it’s an opportunity for the 2023 NBA Champion to have a diverse role, rather than being limited as he was with the Nuggets. He relishes the chance to lead a rebuilding project. And in his very first season, he showed his class.
Porter averaged a career-high 24.2 points and 7.1 rebounds in 52 games this season. With the ability to stay healthy, he definitely has the potential to be an All-Star-caliber player who could lead the Nets into a promising future as the cornerstone.
