Defensive Game
Solid, active defender who used his strength and anticipation effectively. Not a lockdown stopper but competed hard and was never a liability against elite point guards.

Intangibles
One of the defining qualities of his career. Porter's ability to read defenses, manage game pace, and perform in the highest-pressure moments of the Finals placed him among the most intelligent point guards of his generation.

Wussten Sie schon?
Porter was drafted out of Division III Wisconsin-Stevens Point — one of the lowest-profile college programs to ever produce a first-round NBA pick. His selection reflects how thoroughly the Blazers scouted him and how clearly his skills translated beyond the level of competition
He is one of very few players in NBA history to go from Division III college basketball to multiple NBA All-Star appearances and two Finals appearances — a career arc that remains one of the most improbable in league history
Porter's clutch shooting in late-game situations became so reliable that Portland fans called the late stages of close games 'Terry Time' — an informal recognition that he elevated his game when the stakes were highest
After coaching in the NBA, Porter has remained deeply connected to Portland — frequently attending Blazers games, mentoring young players, and serving as an ambassador for the franchise that gave him his career start
