Three of Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr.'s brothers have run into trouble. Jontay was banned from NBA. Coban was sentenced to prison. Jevon was arrested on suspicion of DWI.
Jevon Porter, 20, has three older brothers, three potential role models. Like him, all three are basketball players. Michael Porter Jr., 25, is locked in, pursuing a second consecutive NBA championship with the Denver Nuggets. He’s in the second year of a five-year, $179.3-million contract, a key cog on arguably the best team in the NBA. Jontay Porter, 24, is locked out, issued a lifetime ban from the NBA on April 17 for violating the league's gambling policy.
, and the youngest girl is Jayda, a sophomore star at Columbia Rock Bridge High. The decisions of Jontay, Coban and Jevon somehow haven't had a negative impact on the play of Michael Jr., who averaged 22.8 points and 8.4 rebounds in the first-round playoff series win over the Lakers that began just days after Jontay was banned from the NBA and Coban was sentenced to prison. When Jontay was under investigation in the gambling scandal, his older brother vouched for his integrity.
