AJ Griffin jr stepping away from the game

[hyper316]

kinda sad how much of a chokehold religion still has on people today.

imagine giving up millions to follow a fairytale. Hope he gets some help.

Thinking you know God doesn't exists puts you in a bigger fairytale. This man has made millions, comes from millions and will have more opportunities to make millions. I'm not worried about him losing out and.. becoming a priest or playing video games smoking weed all day like Ricky Williams decided.

It's clear as day religion has brainwashed this young man into making an irrational decision. That is a fact. Just because he's privileged enough to walk away from a lottery ticket doesn't make it a sound decision. Heck, you can retire for mental health reasons, career change, or whatever reason. I don't care. But quitting to follow religion is a clear sign this young man needs serious help.

Hey there, the former NBA player in your username is a devout and outspoken follower of Jesus Christ, same as AJ Griffin proclaims. While one continue to play basketball after NBA in Taiwan, the other walk away from the game for his own personal conviction - the opposite of what you claim there's no chokehold that a follower of Christ must follow the path to making most money until they cannot do so and retire

If you really look up to and respect Jeremy Lin, I hope you go watch his videos on YouTube on how his share about his faith and belief/testimony it will open your mind

Both AJ and his Father stepped away, for a very good reason. It's clear most of the people don't understand why. They have a good reason. I wish all people involved the best and hope they find a way to heal.

Crazy part is that AJ Griffin would have given the raptors similar output that we've gotten from most of the pieces in the indy trade.

That trade is going to be Vinceesque when it's all said and done. Except this time the player actually wanted to stay but our management didnt want him lol.

Hornets arguably have gotten a better package with some basic cap space than we did compared to the Siakam trade lol. 3 SRPs for taking on like 1.3mil in guaranteed salary and 2, two way contracts, vs a 19th and 20ish FRP and BB who won't even command what a few mil in cap space can lmao.

Don't forget the dead salary of Nwora and whatever other scrub we took on. We used to laugh at the rest of the league but now have become the laughing stock... sigghhh

Griffin was exceptionally bad last year. I think if we rolled out Walter all year he would likely not shoot 29% from the field. Olynyk, Ochai and Brown are all better or significantly better than Griffin. You can even argue Nwora had more of an impact than Griffin. It’s actually mind boggling how he was talked about as a centerpiece for Pascal Siakam.

When you think of elite organizations, you immediately think of Charlotte. Them getting incredibly valuable 2nd round picks for essentially nothing is just a clear sign that GMs around the league are asleep at the wheel.
