A commenter on a previous post asked that question today and it got me wondering as well. He definitely reached cult hero status while I was in school and has kind of disappeared in a way since he got cut by the Charlotte Hornets...so since I didn't have a lot to do this afternoon, I did a little looking.

His wikipedia page says that he has played in numerous leagues in the U.S. and overseas, played for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the USBL and has won a couple of championships in various locations. Currently he's playing in the Chinese Basketball League for the Fujian Sturgeons. Incidentally, the coach of the team is J.T. Prada, who coached at South Alabama when I was in high school in Mobile. While looking for Porter, I noticed that another top player in the league is former Auburn forward Brandon Robinson, who averaged 23 points and 11 rebounds per game last year for the Shanxi Dongshen Kylins before moving to play in Korea in February. Robinson is playing for the Portland Trail Blazers' summer league team right now.

I even found video of a Porter game from last season. He's on the white team. I'll let you figure out which one he is (OK, he's No. 20, not that it's too tough to pick him out, even without the fro).

So there's your Chris Porter update. It's a shame he didn't make it in the NBA because he was an electrifying talent. It's good to see he's playing somewhere and having success, though. Considering his past issues, however, and after having seen most of this movie recently on HBO, I'd recommend that Chris never play on a team based in Bali.

Here's a memorable video of him from back in his glory days.
