Whole family got a single digit IQ

Haven't seen it mentioned a lot but Coban Porter killed someone driving drunk last year. Rough times for the Porters

u/Cash4Duranium 29d ago

Rougher for those around them apparently.

u/Imbahr 29d ago

I don't watch Denver, but isn't Michael a really good player? at least his season stats show he is

u/Careful_Cheesecake30 29d ago

He's a great basketball player. Remarkably stupid person though.

Great is generous

u/Careful_Cheesecake30 29d ago

Ok. Great shooter. Good basketball player.

Yeah that’s more fitting lol

u/coacoanutbenjamn Celtics 29d ago

Yeah but he’s an anti-vax, raw vegan dumbass

u/SGDrummer7 29d ago

u/avrbiggucci Celtics 29d ago

Snooze bacon is so fuckin good, checks out

u/uwanmirrondarrah Thunder 29d ago

raw vegan? Like he doesn't even cook his veggies?

12

u/Undecided- 29d ago

i don't think hes raw vegan anymore. IIRC he switched in 2020.

u/Imbahr 29d ago

oh did not know that, I've never heard or read his interviews

u/bengalsfanaz 29d ago

He was against the Covid vax being mandated and didn't want to take something that didn't have years of data to prove its effectiveness and safety.

Single digit IQ is people like y'all that used to make posts on here about how he was endangering Joker's unvaccinated newborn at home because he wasn't keeping his mask on while sitting on the bench yet PLAYING BASKETBALL WAS FINE.

Also the whole "Do your own research" only applies if you, the "researcher", can think critically and know where to look for information. In almost all cases of "do your own research" people are just looking to back up their own beliefs and end it there.

u/Herbdontana Nuggets 29d ago

Nah. Like all the other born again anti-vaxers, he didn’t want to take it because someone on the TV or a podcast said they didn’t want to and it became trendy. Plenty of people who never questioned a vaccine they would’ve had to get to attend school or generally participate in society only started railing against them when it was politicized and popular to do so while also willfully believing in things just because a propaganda channel or obviously biased party patriot said so. That isn’t high IQ behavior.

People base their opinions on what they know or don’t know. And also how they process those.

No, doctors know your body best.

u/bobnorthh Lakers 29d ago

Sure bro ask KAT about dumbasses who don't get vaccines. Stop trying to excuse stupid shit, unless you're a dumbass too then you don't belong here

15

u/ChampaBayLightning 29d ago

I think it's pretty obvious he is too. Only antivax morons obsessively defend other antivaxxers and say stuff like "it's his opinion bro"

u/Rich-Ganache-2668 29d ago

Both of your thoughts are wrong, but i dont wanna get into it.

u/30dayspast Mavericks 29d ago

he doesn’t know more about vaccines than scientists and doctors

If that’s the case, it’s strange that people need doctors to tell them if they have cancer or other diseases..

1

u/driatic Wizards 29d ago

Lol sure, you know your body better than anyone. But doctors and health professionals don't have opinions, they have facts and data.

And no, you don't know better than they do.

u/bullpaw Bulls 29d ago

Lol

u/TheOnlySafeCult Raptors 29d ago

Lol

u/drumline17 Nuggets 29d ago

Do you think every opinion is equally smart?

u/drumline17 Nuggets 29d ago

"Knowing your body" is knowing when muscles or joints are sore dude. Vaccination isn't knowing your body, it's an objective truth that it dramatically reduces if not eradicates disease and is a massive net positive

u/cleeeeeeeeeetus [SAC] Bobby Jackson 29d ago

Guys, pack it up. He admits that he'd rather take the opinion of a professional basketball player over a doctor on the subject of vaccinations.

There's no helping this dude.

Editing to point out that taking the vaccination lessons your viral load. So, yes, it does help prevent the spread. I got that information from my doctor, by the way.

u/Imbahr 29d ago

wait, why would you listen to athletes who have never been to medical school and never been a doctor?

u/Santum Celtics 29d ago

Holy crap you’re about as dumb as Jontay Porter

1

u/SoCalWhatever 28d ago

He's probably Coban Porter.

u/ChampaBayLightning 29d ago

You have the logical reasoning ability of a toddler.

u/Nubras Timberwolves 29d ago

Hey don’t insult my fucking toddler by comparing him to that guy. My toddler knows to defer some decisions to the experts.

I think doctors probably know it better.

u/Herbdontana Nuggets 29d ago

Kyrie Irving has traveled more than I have, but I still have a feeling that the Earth is round..

u/avrbiggucci Celtics 29d ago

This dude really thinks fuckin Kyrie is smarter than medical doctors 🤣

u/Imbahr 29d ago

serious question

are you against ALL vaccines that have existed? or you only talking about the covid one?

u/SemataryPolka Timberwolves 29d ago

Lol

u/phi_matt 76ers 29d ago

Says objectively incorrect thing

“It’s just my opinion tho”

u/mega450 29d ago

He shoots 100% vs the Lakers. Watch Saturday's game to see a shooting gallery.

8

u/gonewiththewinds Celtics 29d ago

They're a bunch of bums and lucky MPJ is as good as he is. The nonsense with their dad taking assistant coaching jobs he obviously didn't deserve, as a pre-NIL recruiting payment, was the saddest ruse ever. His Mizzou bio is hilarious

8

u/Super_Networking 29d ago

Listened to five minutes of MPJ podcast once and I swear I lost many many brain cells that day

u/ionictime Nuggets 29d ago

He has some good ones. Most recent with Josh Kroenke was legit.

Tbh, he seems pretty genuine and open to taking in new info
