Kevin Porter Junior detonated all over the Milwaukee Bucks defense, becoming the youngest player ever to score 50 points in an NBA game, and more importantly, carried the Rockets to the win in the 2nd half. While Giannis Antetokounmpo injured his ankle early, the Bucks had plenty of fire power but couldn't keep up with the young guard that could eventually make Rockets fans forget about James Harden.

That step back 3 in the corner against Jrue looked just like Harden
As a Rockets fan that made me as happy as it made me sad🤣😭😞
All that was missing was falling like Harden after the shot for a FT.
He even went to a strip club in houston the other night lol the harden connection is real 😂
It’s true the goat said it himself
-Skip Bayless
The club was in Miami the night of a game even more like harden.
😭😭
Clubs in Miami has some super power?
Dude, KPJ is left handed, a good playmaker, SG, broke out in Houston, and drop 50, and goes to the club
hmm definitely reminds me of someone ;)
🤣
Wonder who that could be
Just needs adidas deal and a some signature moves
@@shawn17g he is sign with puma I think
Those clubs got some extra special training secrets. Fishy.
It’s John Lucas brotha 😂
Cavs fan here- everyone here in CLE was banking on KPJ to really bust out and take the keys to the franchise! It's a shame that we had to do away with him but I'm definitely happy to see that him on the rockets brings a lot more attention to how good this kid is!
BlackVegito fan for life. My rockets jersey is already in the mail
❤️❤️
sometimes its special when a player earns your admiration so much you follow him to another team and get his jersey out of respec. Hopefully that KPJ Jersey stays being legit and not having ship out to another team.
I haven't seen holiday and tucker getting cooked like that in a while. 50 points, 11 assists, 20 years old? Watch out for this kid
KPJ is looking scary and I am pretty sure the Cavs are kicking themselves right now
Basically picked Cedi over KPJ
@@adityavarshney6690 and a locker
@@teeceeemeeee locker don’t matter if you got average players
@@adityavarshney6690 they traded KPJ cuz of his behaviour off the court
Us Cavs fans were devastated to see him go
But his problem was his behavior off the court and maturity issues that impeded with the overall success of the team. While we the fans and even our notoriously awful front office would've loved to Keep KPJ there was only two possibilities
1) keep them here with an ill equiped franchise to teach him the discipline he needs and watch him whittle away at the team while never reaching his potential
Or
2) send him away and hope the staffing/management elsewhere Is stronger and seeing how Cleveland is referred to as "the most tortured sports city in history" that wouldn't be hard to find
Plus the whole throwing food at the GM kinda made the decision for us :/
Them strip clubs are a cover up for some secret training facility ong😂
Superstar in the making young dude most definitely gonna start shining in 2 years fasho 💯
he is shining, that’s why you’re talking about em
@@Longboiquik no cap sleep watchin 😴
"JRUE WAS SLIDDING AROUND" -kpj
You see Jrue, I was sliding his ass all around the MF court”
KPJ had the whole floor to tinker with, what with Gordon and Wall sitting this one out. Imagine a future of a KPJ and Jalen Green backcourt.
The analysis at 2:28 about the right foot lifting up for the Tim Hardaway killer crossover cannot be more understated. It's literally the secret to making this move useful.
If the right foot remained sedentary, this move would not work. Your right foot would not be in the correct angle to explode as effectively.
Well done, BBALLBREAKDOWN, well done.
nice, you literally repeated what he said... we saw the video thanks
I’ve loved porter jr since he was a rookie kid is legit
Macrae
pause
Now imagine if they had levert and allen with KPJ and Wood SMH.
U do realize the Harden trade is what made KPJ available right? He was upset his locker was given away
@Daniel Mahoney Exactly
LeVert would just take minutes/plays away from KPJ and the rest of their young core. They don't need another SG
I’d rather have Jalen Green over a rental for a first round exit.
I swear KPJ looks like a legit anime character with that smirk and that hair lmao
Thats kinda sus👀
if dude can just keep out of off-the-court issues he can be great
He a hooper regardless
@@solomonjagun4602 "hooper" imo includes off the court, especially in the NBA. He's great but he's gotta grow up
what'd he do?
@@kabirrathoremuthu1541 his off the court behavior didnt impact his on the court play, it ain the nba business.
@@ninety1nethagawd it is. He can't be breaking protocol or getting into legal issues, it's definitely in player's contracts
As a Cavs fan, it hurts to watch this but i'm happy he's thriving
unless he learns how to flop, he can never replace james harden in our hearts
Yikes! Casual NBA fans called. They want their joke back... 😬
@@superpants07 Joke for what? He has the most fake free throw shots, he goes to strip clubs and shit. No one likes that guy.
It's coming bro, he'll learn how to flop nicely lol
Zack I like him
@@pixytorres7117 i like him
Timeframe for Cavs:
COVID-19 happens: KPJ distances himself from the Cavs. The Cavs offer him a apartment and Drummond offers him a place to stay in Miami. He declines both
Offseason:
KPJ does his own workouts and begins to go back to his old ways. Has a potential domestic violence case. Doesn’t show up to the Cavs internal bubble
Continues to be out of contact with the team then gets caught with drugs and illegal firearms as he crashed his car at 4am on the highway
Regular season:
With the track record of the offseason and a pending court case the Cavs “do not believe basketball should be KPJ’s top priority”.
The court case drags and KPJ continues not to play
KPJ begins to workout and get acclimated with the team. He’s finally turning a corner and his court case was dismissed.
The Cavs give away his locker. KPJ throws a fit, the organization already questioned his maturity. He calls the black GM a “modern slave master” (probably the worst thing you can say to a black man in a position of power).
His value has tanked. Multiple teams said he’s not even worth taking a shot at. He’s developed now a bad reputation in college and an NBA organization
He’s traded to the Rockets.
The real test for KPJ isn’t the regular season. He’s extremely talented. The Cavs knew this. The real test is the offseason. When he’s not being monitored 24/7. When he’s not with the team. When he’s back around with people that could lead him down the wrong path. That’s the story. So before people go saying, “he was given away for a bag chips” actually evaluate the story and ask why his value was so low, because it makes perfect sense
Thank u for this. Never knew about the crash and vehicle search . I definitely hope he can stay out of trouble from now on
Well the offseason is almost over didnt hear a thing about kpj yet i think john lucas was the key
@@chokiemaru2818 yeah just an incident in a strip club LOL.
he dropped 50 points after a 50k fine lmao
Gotta get it back 😂💯
Fine him 101k... new record boys
That Joker can flat out hoop... would say a poor mans Harden. But he coming onto his own
Hey Coach! Your ad-transition never gets old.
He has a lot of potential. Hopefully he can avoid incidents like what happened in the Cavs locker room. The Rockets organization better keep their eye on him.
rockets seem to be treating him well, alot of the rockets players seem to be really good friends too. i think kpj is doing great, if not better in houston
I think we should be more realistic. Like let’s say he has a Jamal Crawford type career which is still really impressive. Harden is one the best offensive players ever and a 1st ballot HOF. Kind of unfair to put those expectations on a sophomore who hasn’t played much meaningful basketball yet
Facts tbh but i cant blame ppl. KPJ says Harden is his big brother and theyre in constant communication too. U can see some resemblance in his game of JH13 as well
I can't believe the Cavs let this guy go for nothing
As a rockets fan, I’m super happy that I don’t have to worry about our teams downhill season when it’s still fun to watch thanks to guys like wood, Tate and KPJ
Saw the tweet glad you made a video, bballbreakdown goated
Everything about his game screams harden. The kid really did his homework. and it included stripclubs. LMAO
@Ashton Kusher the stepbacks, the euros, left handed. How do you not see any of that?
@Ashton Kusher yet he has the same combination of these moves, that's the thing
@Ashton Kusher it's the parallels I. Their game, the way they play it, their tendencies, go to moves and overall just vibe of how they play that makes him similar. Even some physical traits.
@Ashton Kusher i think you’re just ignorant
KPJ did say that Harden is his fav player to watch and emulate.
Kpj says he studies hardens game and molds his game around him. Just google a side by side comparison of their moves. It’s eerily similar
As soon as i saw him in the gleague i knew he would be special
lol smooth with putting in that ad 😂😂😂
He still has a long way to be even close to Harden. In fact I just stopped giving a flip about the Rockets when they traded their best player since Hakeem for literally nothing.
@Aurelius Overseer yet here i am not drooling over someone who's 32% from the 3 and has a career of 12 ppg. Talk about over hyping someone saying they are the next Harden.
@6:30 Wood is shuffling his feet. No travel call...
the beat always go hard fr
I always confuse this guy with Michael Porter Jr
Shout outs to Rockets coaching staff. Stephen Silas was brought to run stuff with Harden for the ROckets this year but plans changed FAST. Hopefully he gets to coach up some of these promising young guys who are ready to be the faces of a young and very different Rockets team!
Ricky Davis, that's the name the Cavs thought when they cut ties with this boy, and also Houston didn't find him to be Harden replacement, they chose him over Levert who has very sketchy healthy statues.
I swear lefties are so fast and unorthodox when they crossover. Just look at Harden and DLo, and of course KPJ.
his release is like a left handed lonzo(old form), where he flicks on the shot
Knicks quieted that noise a couple of nights ago. Had him lookin regular
o first rounders
we all waiting for that mpj video
houston went from 'The Beard' to 'The Hair'
The force is strong in this one
Imagine a lineup of KPJ and Cade Cunningham
It was just one game...
Fact he gotta do this every night for me say something harden replacement and he would have to win too
@@Flameofblaze7 yeah, remember when Terrence Ross dropped 51? Look at him now. Can't make a video like this just cause he dropped a 50 bomb and think he's the replacement. He has a SUPER long way to go before that comes into question.
He been showing potential all season 😒
He knew that shot was water @ 8:05
No, but KPJ can be really good.
So he dropped 50 in a game and now he’s James Harden? GTFOH!
We got a new sponsor nice!
One porter is compared to durant, the other is compared to harden maybe they could join forces one day....
Is the other one MPJ?
@@OZBaker yep
@@OZBaker yea
I'd say 6 years lol
Coach Nick, I've been a fan of your videos for years, but I got to disagree with you a bit here. Kevin Porter Jr. looked elite in this win against Milwaukee(and other games for the Rockets) but I think this may be a case of someone who looks like an All-Star while playing for a terrible/tanking team. Basically, Porter Jr. can take all the shots he wants without any restrictions. I'm not sure how well he'd do if he were a full-time starter under normal circumstances where teams could game plan for him. What do you think the Rockets are going to do next year when John Wall returns? J.Wall makes too much money to be traded and he looked to be close to his old self this year. Will the Rockets just have K.Porter Jr be a spark off the bench?
Also for "Cavs fans" talking about you wish they would have kept Kevin Porter Jr., the Cavs already have Collin Sexton, who is a similar "shoot-it first" guard. I'm not sure how any Cavs fan thought Kevin Porter Jr. could be a star in Cleveland considering that his game is similar to Sexton's, and Sexton is clearly a better player at this point. The fact that Sexton is playing very well probably made it easy for the Cavs to just get rid of Kevin Porter Jr. like they did.
just like the rockets swindled OKC for james harden, now the cavs have been swindled.
Imagine replacing lou wil, danilo, pat, Tobias, with a kevin porter jr
Though i think Coach Nick is the best thing in relation to bball, for me the NBA has been dead since the shutdown last year in March.
Does anyone know the name of the shoes MPJ is wearing?
Kevin Harden Jr 🔥
You should breakdown Matisse Thybulle on the defensive end
Yes
I remember when the Rockets were 10 -10 idk wth happened lol
@ANEESH ANAND Exactly, it's not that unlikely that the Rockets will be competing for the playoffs next season if Wood can just stay healthy.
KPJ is a 6’4” Brandon Jennings
He's shooting from the wrong side of his head, like Lonzo.
I like wall, but if Houston can buy him out, it would be much better for the development of KPjr and the other young core. He dont fit their timeline/ has injury problems/ and isnt effective off ball.
I hate the Cavs front office 😒
Smokin' :) I'm officially awed.
Honestly tho I’ve been saying it for a couple years now. Coach bud isn’t a playoff coach and I don’t care what happens to the roster I don’t see the bucks as a legit contender as long as he’s the head coach
How do u feel about him now yall? Great development on and off the court mature wise???
I say trade John wall for a big and do whatever it takes to get Cade Cunningham. Him and KPJ would be dangerous.
I didn’t watch the game but I wish I did😂
I can see why Kevin Love like KPJ so much. He seems to value bigman mismatches whereas Sexton basically plays with tunnel vision.
No
Brook Lopez and his slow feet are a liability and he will easily be exploited in the playoffs.
they can always go small with PJ and Giannis as their bigs
Probably, but he’s a center that can shoot from three and be super efficient at the line. That makes him valuable alone. If Lopez could do shoot like that, and defend guards from the perimeter, he’d be a superstar.
This means Harden carried the balls out of rockets
Det should not traded him
fear the A F R O 😈
And you know who drafted him initially? Well the Bucks....
Waiting for the breakdown of celtics vs spurs, celtics win (from 32 down)
Tatum for 60 🔥🔥🔥
I might be cappin but I think his game better than harden.. like his bag seems deep
KPJ will mature off the court when time comes. Cavs lost a nice piece.
damn, the bucks have a lot of coaching flaws and weaknesses
This man can be a superstar but I have a feeling his attitude will get in the way.... I hope I'm wrong.
KPJ THE GOD
Change the music
LOL you cannot be real with this take KPJ is fine but like will he be an MVP candidate in 4 years? No
maybe, not buying it yet
I who describe him offensively harden x de’aaron Fox but slower
Calm down he has one 50 point game and everyone thinks hes harden
50 points is a big deal
Kawhi would’ve went for 60
-Skip Bayless is LeBron went for 50
He’s a upcoming star
Pretty big deal and this guy was a mcdonalds all American just got into some trouble
Jokic
Curry
KD
KYRIE
TATUM
LUKA
NONE HAVE HAD A 50 POINT 10+ ASSISTS GAME!!
You so disrespectful for the title of this video, This dude has the potential to be good but he will never be what Harden was to Houston, he doesn’t have the tools.
Glad you made a video about KPJ
Is he another Harden or Brandon Jennings
In 2 seasons we’re gonna be saying he has the best step back in the league.. shit, he might have it now.
He actually looks like Harden in some of these moves
If you're trying to avoid LeBron because you don't like him you can at least talk about the miss cluch shot 😆
im still watching the rockets since i live in houston, Tate and KPJ are gonna become stars
Also Christian Wood
I don’t like y’all keep doing this let kpj be his own he won’t be a good as harden was unless he come out wanting to be the main guy
Ok we will stop praising the man, kpj is dog shit and should of stayed in the g league
@@weepdick you misunderstood what I said ? Let KPJ Rock as his own man he won’t even most likely ever fill the shoes harden was wearing and that no knock on him . Just calm down and relax and wait to see consistency
KPJ was nice in Cleveland. Silly team disrespected him by randomly moving his locker as if that wasn't going to make a baller mad.
Completely disrespectful thankfully he got himself outta there
Quick answer.. Nah..
Skoot 🔥
He’s a future GOAT
a bit bold but understandable
Kelly olynick has gotta hate his career seems like he always gets traded to a re building team and is kept until they reach the playoffs and then he’s trade again
Im seeing harden on him
