Porter's five forces include three forces from 'horizontal competition' – the threat of substitute products or services, the threat of established rivals, and the threat of new entrants – and two others from 'vertical' competition – the Porter developed his five forces framework in reaction to the then-popular Five forces that shape competition [ ] Part of • v • t • e Threat of new entrants [ ] New entrants put pressure on current organizations within an industry through their desire to gain market share.

SportsPulse, USA TODAY DENVER − Michael Porter Jr. called his jump shot broken. "I didn't play well offensively, to my capabilities," Porter said, adding, "I don't know what was going on with my shot. I really don't care. I'll fix it in the offseason." Porter doesn’t need to worry about his shot now. He is an Porter is right. He didn’t play well offensively in the Finals. He averaged 9.6 points, well below his season average of 17.4 points, and against Miami, he made just 32.8% of his shots and just 14.3% on 3-pointers.

He made a 3-pointer and had a creative (perhaps accidental) through-the-legs dribble on a layup in an important third quarter. He finished with 16 points and 13 rebounds. In the third quarter of a chaotic, points-were-tough-to-get game, Porter had seven points. He kept shooting even when he probably should’ve stopped. But the points he scored kept Denver from falling deeper behind or helped extend a Nuggets lead. MORE: Throughout the Finals, Nuggets coach Michael Malone defended Porter’s performance. He said the Nuggets don’t have specialists who do one thing only, such as score. He said the Nuggets have basketball players, guys who can do multiple things so if that they’re not scoring, they’re contributing in oth...
