Shams: NBA is looking into allegations of Josh Giddey having inappropriate relationship with a minor

[Mister Ze]

Based on what I’ve read so far nothing but a slap on the wrist would happen to him at best.

Parties involved can simply deny it.

[jlokine]

i think he's gonna be cooked. either way, i had him on fantasy and he's been getting cooked anyway.


but i m like 70% sure he got baited. she bragged about it with a caption that "i just f'd Josh Giddey".. i get the sense it's going to go down the trevor bauer route.

[AussieCeltic]

Lmao

i think the issue is how some are defining the definition of adult and what the consequences should be. nothing more nothing less

for example...in states that allow marriage at 14 are lawmakers suggesting its ok for adults to bang high school kids?

Yes. Well, it doesn't even sound like they are suggesting it, sounds like they are totally ok with it.

I think 1 guy was strangely ok with it. Most others are waiting for the facts from what I can see.

We need to stop believing everything we read on the internet.

What we do know is there is 2 girls who have been shown. One has been confirmed to be in College.

The second, well her age has ranged from 15-18.

At 15, it’s gross and there are some serious problems he can face.
At 16, morally not great and it looks like he’ll get a fine.
At 17, morally not great but it looks like he’ll get a fine.

Go to any high school around the world and you’ll see 17 year old girls dating 19-20 year olds. Doesn’t make it right, but it’s as common as the common cold.

nah they dont need him.

Trust me, they'll need him to develop if they want to reach their end goal.

They have like a thousand picks and a core of Chet, SGA, Dort and Jalen, they won't skip a beat without him. Also, look at Cason Wallace' shooting percentages.

Now that we have more details my opinion is if he knew she was 15 in the club or met her outside a club setting even if he didn’t know her age then he’s gotta go it’s very unsettling. If he met her in a club (which are 18+) and didn’t know her age then I think it’s a completely non story, kind of hard to fault a 20 year old for hooking up with someone he met at a club (18+ only) with an ID saying they’re 18+ (assuming she used a fake to get in)

Watch a video of her she is not mature.

The ones in tiktok?

To be fair... even Dillon Brooks in that playofff tiktok dancing madr him look like a kid.

The Tiktok that "may or may NOT be" her??? And a bunch of older guys on a sports forum should watch this girl's Tiktok? Sounds like entrapment...

Lol especialy since there appearantly are 2 girls on tiktok vids and we dont know which is which.

[DirtyDez]

It’s wild that the only details we’re going off of is an instagram post.

Sucks for Giddey. He was already the odd man out in OKC, if the NBA decides to punish him severely, I think OKC wouldn't hesitate to trade him.

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

It actually sucks for the victim if these allegations turn out to be true. It shouldn't take a spotlight for someone to not touch kids. Best case is that these turn out to be false allegations.

[jazzed77]

Wouldn't this be considered a legal relationship between two consenting adults?

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.

I think only people who don't have kids would agree with you. Or people who like kids.

[ImSlower]

It's like people here have never heard of moral relativism. Let's judge these things based on significant details before we presume someone is a creep and predator. They are close enough in age to give the Giddey a break. He's very much still a kid.

By no means does being 20 mean you're more mature than a 17 year old. The optics are weird, but it's nothing more.

He was 21. She was 15. It's illegal and it's morally gross. Fifteen years old.

[Yoshun]

There is very little information on this right now. I've read several reports at this point and they all seem to be guessing.

Ya this is where I stand. But is it verified she was 15? A lot of 15 year olds look 18 and 18 or even 17 w/ a 20/21 yo/ really is totally fine. It’s such a **** situation for Giddey if your scenario is how it went down, which is I assume how it did. If he was intentionally meeting up with a 15 year old that’s a whole different ballgame.

Not long ago Kobe was 21 picking a 17 yo/ Vanessa from HS.

These 18 and over spots are a huge issue. Don’t check Id near as well as 21+ and tons of super young kids find a way in. This **** happens a ton at places like that.

If my kid was under 18 I would rather they drink in a basement than go to one of these places. And if my kid was obver 18 I would prefer they sneak into an actual bar. Just a breeding ground for **** situations.

If Ja got 25 games for acting like an extra in a rap video, this dude deserves to be banned.

[bwgood77]

I still can't believe how many people take some random anonymous twitter account's word as proof of her age and all this and then make quick defnitive judgement. Scary world to live in that people believe anything based on so little unverified information in a tweet.

[RAPSinCAPS]

The only thing more disgusting than a grown ass man aroused by a 15 yr old child are the creeps justifying it. Sickos like this get shot at the porch, not glorified. Seriously what's there to pursue if you're Giddy? Some school kid ticktocker carrying her books while chewing bubblegum?

This an accurate video review about how horrible Age of Extinction was and also kinda touches on this topic

“A lot of 15 year olds look 18. And a lot of 13 year olds look 15. So much gray area!”

Bro, it’s really not hard to **** kids, these creeps are acting like it’s so difficult to navigate.

[Hook_Em]

She’s bragging about getting $&@! on social media. Her parents failed her.
