Cierra Porter and Bri Porter, two of Michael’s three sisters played four years of varsity basketball at RBHS before attending the University of Missouri to play under their father. Porter spent the first three years of his high school basketball career on Fr. Tolton Catholic High School’s basketball team before moving to Seattle to further his education and athletics skills at Nathan Hale High School.
