Remember, Ben Simmons had good summer videos too and never pan out in the regular season.
I will only cherish the wins and ignore everything else, because that's the only way to survive as a Knicks fan.

I hope that none of the "good guys" are going to be implicated, but it seems like there will be some people we liked who joined in. Maybe even some women, too. This is so sickening to learn about.

Usually when some celeb gets in trouble, I (and others) enjoy making jokes about them. But this is in a different category of wrongdoing and I can't imagine anything anyone would find laughable about these crimes. Maybe it says something about how we blindly worship the famous, becuae we really don't know who they are at the time.


I know for a fact that there are women that are implicated in this, and they will be doing to prison.

As far as other celebrities...I feel no sympathy for them. Especially a certain rapper who was f*cking teenage girls when they were in their 30s.

What's so sickening about Puffy is that this man has daughters and he still behaved like this. He's a psychopath.

Just make the OT Diddy thread, man.

Do it for the victims.


I just saw a picture of Puffy and Meek wearing matching outfits while Diddy is palming the head of a small person like a basketball. I mean it's bizarre, and I'm not a prude or homophobic. It just looks bizarre man :o

I'm scared. I feel like what we think happened on those tapes is tame compared to what's really on those tapes

He's very religious and believes that the rapture (or another significant event) will happen soon and doesn't want to focus on basketball. On one level its a bit much to consider, but I respect his willingness to follow his beliefs. It's not like he is preaching ignorance and hate like a certain Orlando player.....

Plus, honestly he was a fringe player due to injuries and his family was doing well before he joined the NBA because of his father. If he was to take his prior earnings and start his own ministry, he might have a happier career and a happier life.

Where does it say he quit basketball because of religious reasons? His last posts on IG are him hooping.

There's rumors that his nephew died and his dad is being blamed for the death. Might've taken a huge toll on his mental health.

As long as he's happy that's all that really matters tbh.

No one knows why he quit basketball yet. But there's some stuff about his nephew passing away and his dad getting blamed for it. His mental health mightve been fked

I heard it was him wanting to focus on his faith. Though this wounds like a Wiggins situation where the truth isn't known and stories are out there.

Didn't his Dad refuse to attend the funeral of the kid? What a sad situation.
