"Got to be able to cook, clean, help me mentally" - Michael Porter Jr. makes expectations clear for future wife

Michael Porter Jr. recently made headlines for saying that one of his vices was women ahead of his first season with the Brooklyn Nets. Porter then hopped on another podcast and opened up about what he wants from his future wife if he ever decides to settle down.

On the "One Night with Steiny" podcast, Porter shared his expectations of what his future wife should bring to the table. He was also critical of some women whom he described as "queens" who don't contribute.

"My only thing with a girl is you got to bring something to the table," Porter said. "I don't mind providing for you, I don't mind doing that. You can stay at the crib, you can do your thing, (but) you got to bring something to the table. You got to help me mentally, you got to be able to cook or something, you got to be able to clean or something. Otherwise, what value are you bringing to my life? That's the way I look at it now." (42:32 onward).

Michael Porter Jr. added that he noticed the difference between women in New York and those from other cities like Los Angeles or Miami. According to Porter, most women in the Big Apple have ambition and work hard to make ends meet.

Porter was acquired by the Brooklyn Nets this offseason and will likely be their go-to scorer next season. He spent the first seven years of his career with the Denver Nuggets, winning an NBA championship in 2023.

Michael Porter Jr. made headlines over the weekend for speaking about his vice being women. Porter discussed his brother Jontay Porter's gambling issues, saying that people will always have their vices. He said that his was women, while his brother's was gambling.

"Everybody has different vices," Porter said, according to the Basketball Network. "Everybody has different things that they struggle with. That can go with people who struggle from alcohol, people that struggle with drugs. You know, for example, my brother struggled with gambling. My vice has always come in the form of women."

Jontay was banned by the NBA for life due to his involvement in gambling. He is also facing prison time after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
