Bobby Portis is confirmed not to be related to the former NFL running back, Clinton Portis, as brothers.
Milwaukee Bucks’ power forward, Bobby Cortis, has emerged as the star of the Game 5 match today.
While the team’s opponent, Boston Celtics, had led the game in the third quarter, Cortis’s impressive power soon caught up to the scores and took the ultimate win.
This is one of the many reasons behind the growth of Cortis’s popularity among the NBA crowd. He is cited as one of the legendary names in professional basketball in the future.
No, Bobby Portis Is Not Related To Clinton Portis As Brothers
Bobby Portis and Clinton Portis are indeed not related as brothers in any way.
The striking similarity of their last name and their impeccable professional athlete careers have often led the public to think that the two are brothers.
However, all these similarities are just coincidences though it cannot be denied that both Portis ace their job.
While Bobby is still young and reaching new heights in his NBA career every day, Clinton has already retired from his NFL career.
Clinton had quit in 2012 after a decade of NFL days as he had rough days ahead due to suffering from concussions.
He and his fellow footballers had even sued NFL over concussions and head injuries.
Meet Bobby Portis Dad Bobby Sr And Mother Tina Edwards
Bobby Portis was born to his parents, Bobby Portis Dr., and his mother, Tina Edwards.
The NBA powerhouse does not share a familial bond with his biological father and has only met him only four times.
Bobby is rather close to his mother, with whom he grew up with a harsh life. The mother-son duo faced abuse by Tina’s partners but did not let go of each other.
Tina is the biggest motivational factor in Bobby’s life. He has revealed that since the 11th grade, he gets himself angry by envisioning the player he’ll be facing as someone slapping his mother.
Bobby’s love and gifts for his momma often hit the headlines as the two are inseparable as ever.
Inspired by his mother’s life, the NBA star player started The Bobby Portis Foundation, a charitable organization that creates programs and initiatives for single mothers in Arkansas.
