NBA star Michael Porter Jr. spent nearly six hours on N3on’s Kick livestream Tuesday, and one stretch of the conversation is blowing up everywhere. After N3on brought up concerns about AI and the direction of the world, Porter turned the talk to faith, telling the streamer the world is evil and that being right with Jesus Christ is the only way. When N3on argued all religions worship the same God, Porter pushed back:“Not just any God. Make sure you’re right with Jesus Christ.”
The moment that hit hardest came when N3on admitted death is his number one fear. Porter said Christianity is the only faith where someone else paid for sin, explaining,“That’s why I’m so secure in the fact that I’m going to heaven, and that’s why I’m not scared of death.”He also shared a story about a Muslim Uber driver who told him no one knows if they’ll reach heaven, and then invited N3on to come to church with him.
Porter led the Brooklyn Nets in scoring last season with a career-high 24.2 points per game, but this six-hour stream is what’s got the internet buzzing today. Whether you agree with him or not, it’s a conversation people can’t stop reacting to.
What do you think: was Porter right to be so direct about his beliefs, or should conversations like this stay off the livestream? Sound off in the comments.
