Porter Jr.'s father was charged with murdering a 14-year-old girl at gunpoint in 1993 and sentenced to 4 1/2 years in prison. In 2004, he got into an argument at a bar in Seattle and was shot 5 times and killed on the spot. At the time, Porter Jr. was only 4 years old. Lakers star James updated the social media, condemning Consor's words. He wrote: "Oh, he thinks that's cool, right? No! We don't think so! You can't talk like that on your own home, how insensitive you have to be to say that. I pray for you, but there is no place for you in our wonderful game! ”

Wizards broadcaster Consor also updated the social media today to formally explain the incident and apologize to Porter Jr. Consor wrote: "Allow me to take this opportunity to express my sincere apologies to Kevin Porter Jr. and his family, as well as to the Rockets, for my inappropriate remarks during the game last night. I mistakenly believed that Kevin Potter Jr. was the son of former Washington player Kevin Porter, and did not realize that my descriptive words for Kevin Porter Jr.'s killer ball were hurtful and insensitive, and I had contacted Kevin Porter and apologized privately, hoping to speak to him again soon. ”

Consor's explanation has aroused heated discussion among fans, is he making a fuss or is he arguing? Former Washington player Kevin Porter, born in 1950, is 72 years old and has been the league assist king four times. But Porter Jr. is only 22 years old, and the age difference between the two is 50 years.

James was asked again in today's interview about this. James said: "I will not take back anything I have said. "He said that he didn't respond this way because he didn't want Consor to lose his job, he just didn't want to let this mistake continue." I hadn't met this man (Consor) and I didn't know him, and I prayed for him, as I said in the social media. But I can't let such remarks hurt Potter. James thinks broadcasters read scouting reports and player profiles like players, implying that he shouldn't have made such low-level mistakes.
