I wonder if the Thunder tacitly benches Giddey while this investigation is ongoing? OKC is a very low character organization though, so I doubt they will. Hopefully Shai and Chet can get out of there soon.

I wonder if the same energy will be kept on here as guys like Karl Malone or miles Bridges

Probably not

i'd be surprised if josh giddey was benched solely based on the information that's publicly available. if he is benched or the thunder take any action, it would have to be due to new information.

15?

I dont like setting a specific age to determine if a person is adult or not. Some become adult before that age, some become adult much after that age.

Josh Giddey is that you?

I get why people feel this way but the line obviously has to be drawn somewhere. You can't offer leeway in stuff this serious. Too bad for him.

Someone needs to be on a watch list...

Already went through this exercise with a handful of different teams with posters here and you'd be absolutely amazed at how the line for what people find acceptable when it comes to great players or coaches on their sports teams do is always right past whatever they did, especially if they're still on the team. But anything anyone else on another team does is immediate death sentence

Not really a big deal. I mean Karl Malone did the same thing and Utah gave him a statue still.

I really hope it's not true.

And I don't find anything funny about the topic.

If she is 17 and he is 21 they could have been dating in high school when he was 18 and she was 14. Is that weirder or less weird o.O?

Like I said in the OKC forum, if he did something wrong, he should be punished. If he didnt, he should be exonerated.

There are varying degrees of bad, but yeah… it definitely looks bad.

“Judge, I swear she said she was 18”

This is pure guesswork, but supposedly she is either 16 or 17. Not that I'm an expert, far from it as I'm not even from the States, just going of rumors about the expected age for the class she is from. Again, per internet "detectives, everything should be taken with a big grain of salt.

In most of Europe, a 20-year-old dude (he only just turned 21 so its safe to say he met her while still 20) dating a 16 or 17-year-old girl would not be news. The same goes for Australia most likely. The age of consent in Oklahoma is 16 as well. A bit weird, yes. Calling him a criminal like some did is a big reach though.

It happened here in California. She lives probably within 10 miles of my house. The age of consent is 18 here. They will make an example out of him. He is **** (just like her apparently lol).

Please refrain from posting sexually revealing images.

If she's a minor and he crossed state lines or paid for her to cross state lines for sex, he's ducked. That's a felony.

He’s a famous, rich nba player and he could get any woman he wants but he chooses to exploit a child. That is just wrong lawfully (probably) and morally (definitely). If you had a young daughter like I do, you see it in proper light.

NBA players need to be more careful about who they are messing around with. The spotlight will always be around them.

Trade? The chances of him ever playing in the NBA again are extremely low if the allegations are true. He'd be a sex offender.

You'd think that would be the case, but this is the same league that allows players who tote guns around for the youth to see as well as people who beat the **** out of their partners.

The league will try their hardest not to ban Giddey. It's sick and disgusting, but it's to their benefit that OKC is good.
