He dropped a big claim on the WNBA&rsquo;s players and how it compares to the men&rsquo;s basketball talents. <\/p><p><em>&ldquo;If the WNBA All-Star team, if the Olympic team played the McDonald&rsquo;s All-American high school players, it&rsquo;s one of them things, bro. You can&rsquo;t dance around it,&rdquo; <\/em>Porter said. <em>&ldquo;In high school, when I was in high school, we were grown men, pretty much&hellip; If we play the WNBA All-Star team, that, no disrespect, bro.

McDonald&rsquo;s All-American team has the best high school players each season. It would surely make WNBA fans angry in the country and it would be considered as a disrespectful comment. <\/p><p>As we mentioned earlier, the Nuggets star made a controversial statement on the WNBA last year. During the episode of The Pivot Podcast, Michael Porter Jr. spoke about the gap between the male and female basketball players. He added a context of a pin-pong player to disrespect WNBA stars. <\/p><p><em>&ldquo;I know these females [WNBA players] want to get paid more, and they&rsquo;re very talented. But so is a famous ping-pong player. Like, the best ping pong player is just as talented as the best NBA player.

So as much as I advocate for women and kind of the equality of the respect of their craft, and all those things, I mean, you can&rsquo;t pay them the same thing.

The 2023 NBA champion didn&rsquo;t back the same pay formula for male and female basketball players. Meanwhile, the WNBA changed his claims in past few months where we saw a rapid rise to the league. <\/p><p><em>Mandatory Credit: Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Denver Nuggets star made a controversial statement on the WNBA last year as well. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":626319,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[412,3731,48],"class_list":["post-626283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wnba","tag-denver-nuggets","tag-michael-porter-jr-2","tag-wnba"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
