WATCH: Nuggets Star Swarmed by Fans at Airport

In this story:
Denver Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr. has arrived in Taiwan, where he is expected to attend a baseball game. The 2023 NBA Champion was seen arriving at the airport, where he was swarmed by fans who received autographs and pictures with him:
This was a very cool moment that was shared on Instagram, as it's always fun to see how big players like Porter are outside of the United States. While he's not the biggest star on his team, playing alongside Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, Porter's reception in Taiwan shows the stardom across the globe of NBA players like himself, especially as a reigning champion.
The Nuggets have been enjoying their summer after winning the first championship in franchise history, and will use these last few weeks before training camp to wrap up vacations, make fun appearances, and spend time with family. The NBA season is a grind, and that's especially true for the last team standing. Taking some time to relax before getting back after it is always important, and the Nuggets have certainly been doing that well this summer.
This will be an interesting season for Denver, as they can certainly no longer fly under the radar. Expected by many to defend their title with another one, the Nuggets will get every opponent's best shot next season.
