Why Does Michael Porter Jr. Have Light Skin

What Michael Porter Jr. is going through in regards to his lighter skin is no different than other light-skinned NBA stars have had to put up with — in particular Stephen Curry’s toughness is constantly challenged due to his lack of darkness. Jordan Clarkson famously said that he needed to be tougher because Kobe Bryant labeled him soft for taking the ball to the hoop like a “light skinned dude”.

Porter Jr. complexion comes from having a black father, Michael Porter Sr. and a white mother (Lisa Becker) — making Michael Porter Jr. mixed race. And that means that’s Michael’s seven siblings are also biracial: older sisters Bri and Cierra and younger siblings Jontay, Coban, Jevon, Izaak, and Jayda. And they all hoop.

No doubt basketball runs in the family, but if you assume that Michael got his high scoring mindset from his dad’s side, you would be making a huge assumption. We don’t know about his father’s skills on the court and where he played, but we do know that his mom Lisa averaged a mind-blowing, jaw-dropping 58.7 points a game for Cedar Rapids Jefferson High School back in 1983.
