His career has been a complete rollercoaster since he parted ways with the Cleveland Cavaliers and was traded to Houston Rockets just for a second-round pick in exchange even though he himself was drafted in the first round. But after going through all the criticism and trolls from the league for years Kevin Porter Jr has finally found himself a home at Houston Rockets. He has been a trending name in the headlines often this season and now an iconic Michael Jordan-like dunk from his side drags him in the conversation once again.

Finally I can tweet about Kevin Porter Jr and it doesn't have to be a Cavs dig: 30 point efficient triple double last night! Really hope he can find consistency in play and a role, but a lot of that will be on him.
