Love Island star Miguel Harichi recently met NBA champions Michael Porter Jr. and Peyton Watson at Sunday's LA Rams vs. 49ers game.

"Yall ain’t have to make me look so short," he stated.

Haricihi appeared in season six of Love Island USA, entering the villa on day nine and leaving it on day 32. He was a popular contestant and was named runner-up alongside Leah Kateb.

Michael Porter Jr., on the other hand, had a mile-high run with the Nuggets last season. He was at the forefront of Denver's offense, averaging 16.7 points and 7.0 rebounds.

Michael Porter Jr. speaks his mind about NBA max deals

Michael Poter Jr. recently appeared on the Ringer NBA podcast, discussing the expectations attached to max contracts. He stated the NBA's business side changed his feelings about basketball.

"So man, the money sometimes makes it a little bit harder to enjoy the game because with a max contract comes a lot of expectations on consistency, on you're supposed to be an All-Star, you're supposed to be this, that, whatever."

In the same episode, Porter Jr. compared his NBA experience to a corporate job. Since being drafted No. 14 overall by Denver in 2018, the small forward revealed he's lost much of the child-like joy he once had for basketball.
