On the latest episode of "From the Point by TraeYoung,"  the second in partnership with Bleacher Report, NBA Champion Michael Porter Jr. joins AAU Teammate-turned-friend Trae Young, and Young's, co-host Winston, for some introspective, honest, and raw conversation. 

MPJ, who recently won an NBA title with the Denver Nuggets, opens up about his back injury leading up to the NBA draft – one of the first times he has told the full story. Porter Jr. also discusses his teenage AAU team with Trae, which they consider the greatest ever. After that, the high-scoring forward dives into his Denver Nuggets team, where he talks about the title, MVP Nikola Jokic's love for horses, and what life has been like since winning the Championship. The duo also discuss workouts with Stephen Curry, the best passers in the NBA, and Luka Doncic.
