I'm sorry but the phrase "gun-toting booty bender" is one of the funniest things I've ever read.

Seeing a therapist is fun, all players should do it. I love mine because he's always warm and caring without being possessive or strict.
As loyal as a parent but without the drama or yelling :D
Plus you can talk about rude things to him, whereas with parents its too awkward.
Most people probably end up marrying their therapist, or proposing and being rejected because of ethics rules.

Josh Primo told me the same thing.

Counseling? Feels like MEM is doing Ja a favor. Clearly he doesn't love the game of basketball, so keeping him away is exactly what he wants.

Bunch of PR going on to avoid the obvious: when huge money is on line, you can't mess it up.

You mean a guy that brings guns on team trips or to games, and has been known to do some completely irrational things such as apparently attacking a kid has a drugs and/or an alcohol problem?

WOW, I am blown away!

Unless a player is literally being hunted by the Mob he should never need to bring a gun to a game or on a team trip.

How much experience with women do you have, out of curiosity?

I'm the one who has been with a lot of women


Girls will appreciate $500, but it wont leave a lasting impression nor will it attract the attention of all of the hottest strippers. If guys are spending 50k, they are out there balling and that's when the strippers will even be all over the entourage and friends just to please that man in hopes that he spends more.

Even a lot of regular chicks would randomly start taking their clothes off and touching a guys junk, if it got them 50k in 15 minutes lol.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Let's be real, dudes making it rain 50K at the strip club are 100% doing it for clout to show out for other dudes. It's just cred that you have money. I'm sure some of them are legit dumb enough to think that the "lasting impression" on the girls is anything other than "this dude is a moron who is giving me tons of money and thinks I care about anything other than him giving more money".

Man - not discounting that drug and alcohol issue at all but this dude is an absolute stud on the court if he’s truly suffering from that. Not sure the extent of it but he obviously performs at a 10/10 level every night.

Maybe he is a functioning addict. I guess he’s still young so it’s possible the effects haven’t hit him yet.

Wishing a speedy recovery. It’s not like he’s killed anyone and his actions are that severe I guess

If he's in need of counseling then majority of kids his age are in need if it too. Such a facade this whole thing is lol.
