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?
Those clubs got some extra special training secrets. Fishy.
It’s John Lucas brotha 😂
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
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.
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
@@theacelestino4709 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😂
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
"JRUE WAS SLIDDING AROUND" -kpj
You see Jrue, I was sliding his ass all around the MF court”
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
@@omari6301 no cap sleep watchin 😴
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.
I swear KPJ looks like a legit anime character with that smirk and that hair lmao
Thats kinda sus👀
I’ve loved porter jr since he was a rookie kid is legit
Macrae
pause
As a Cavs fan, it hurts to watch this but i'm happy he's thriving
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
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
Hey Coach! Your ad-transition never gets old.
That Joker can flat out hoop... would say a poor mans Harden. But he coming onto his own
he dropped 50 points after a 50k fine lmao
Gotta get it back 😂💯
Fine him 101k... new record boys
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
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
Saw the tweet glad you made a video, bballbreakdown goated
Glad you made a video about KPJ
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.
lol smooth with putting in that ad 😂😂😂
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
the beat always go hard fr
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.
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.
Man. I sure hope we get something going next year. This season was hard for Houston fans. Rebuilding a team can really suck
Houston fans of every sport I mean you guys have been through the wringer lately
@@samwescoat5750 Word
@@drpac9164 i Think we should tank again next year to get chet holmgren or somebody else to have a lineup of Cade KPJ Christian Jae sean and holmgren
I enjoyed this breakdown
This guy is so good in 2k he made it into reality
We got a new sponsor nice!
I can't believe the Cavs let this guy go for nothing
Cavs really let him go for a 2nd rounder
A top 55 protected, no less...
People act like they knew who he was or what he did back in Cleveland
KPJ unlocked his acana during this game 😅😅😅
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
As soon as i saw him in the gleague i knew he would be special
The answer is no. They're will never be another James Harden. But the kid has potential.
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
Damn that ad was seamless new here lol
his release is like a left handed lonzo(old form), where he flicks on the shot
The force is strong in this one
@Bballbreakdown, will you do the most recent Spurs vs Celtics game next? These are my two favorite teams.
Smokin' :) I'm officially awed.
@6:30 Wood is shuffling his feet. No travel call...
I always confuse this guy with Michael Porter Jr
we all waiting for that mpj video
Does anyone know the name of the shoes MPJ is wearing?
Kevin Harden Jr 🔥
You should breakdown Matisse Thybulle on the defensive end
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!
He knew that shot was water @ 8:05
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.
Yes
The beard grew upwards though.
houston went from 'The Beard' to 'The Hair'
Lonzo shoots similar to kpj, if ball learns how to be a threat offensively his confidence will grow and his defense is already tops. Knicks can snatch ball up this offseason as a nitiklina replacement
lonzo defense is trash 115.6 defensive rating worst on the team
I swear lefties are so fast and unorthodox when they crossover. Just look at Harden and DLo, and of course KPJ.
Knicks quieted that noise a couple of nights ago. Had him lookin regular
o first rounders
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.
I didn’t watch the game but I wish I did😂
No, but KPJ can be really good.
Imagine a lineup of KPJ and Cade Cunningham
KPJ is a 6’4” Brandon Jennings
Cavs exchanged him for a heavily protected future SECOND-round pick. Cleveland take this L
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 😒
Someone who knows more about actual basketball than me: what’s the difference between the way the knicks chase over screens and the way the bucks do it? (When they don’t switch that is). Coach Nick was saying that the knicks pick and roll d was good because the big would drop while the guard chased over, but when the bucks do it it doesn’t work? Is it just because Lopez is way worse at defense?
KPJ THE GOD
KPJ IS HARDEN'S AFRO VERSION
Imagine replacing lou wil, danilo, pat, Tobias, with a kevin porter jr
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.
Silas should realize by now that hardens iso ball works in the regular season. Harden just need better coaching in the playoffs
Silas wasn’t the coach for most of Harden’s time in Houston.
Nah some of these moves in this were disgusting 🤒 He’s got a talent that’s for sure
And the Cavs gave his locker to Taurean Prince
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.
Skoot 🔥
fear the A F R O 😈
He reminds me of deshawn stevenson lowkey he could had been the next kobe
😂 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Kobe’ work ethic made him an all time great. Deshawn Stevenson is my guy I loved his grit on the Wizards and on the Mavericks . But he wasn’t even a borderline all-star. DeShawn was nice.wanted all the smoke guarding LeBron
KPJ has some facial features of Lebron
WOW
Waiting for the breakdown of celtics vs spurs, celtics win (from 32 down)
Tatum for 60 🔥🔥🔥
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.
I hate the Cavs front office 😒
Change the music
What about Olynik?!?
Southpaw has always the advantage...Technical and physical...
damn, the bucks have a lot of coaching flaws and weaknesses
He's shooting from the wrong side of his head, like Lonzo.
just like the rockets swindled OKC for james harden, now the cavs have been swindled.
Just some strip clubs in the training area and he can for sure replace Harden
How do u feel about him now yall? Great development on and off the court mature wise???
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.
And you know who drafted him initially? Well the Bucks....
special thanks to the Houston strippers out there lol
Is he another Harden or Brandon Jennings
Super saiyan
I can see why Kevin Love like KPJ so much. He seems to value bigman mismatches whereas Sexton basically plays with tunnel vision.
Det should not traded him
He actually looks like Harden in some of these moves
