I always wonder how people decide civil vs criminal.

One thing to consider is that the burden of proof in a civil case is quite different from the one required in a criminal case

Exactly.
In basketball terms, it almost doesn’t matter if it’s exactly true.
As long as it’s not completely random and out of nowhere, and given his history I doubt it’s that, it shows that he continues to be someone who surrounds himself with toxic people and partakes in toxic relationships, and that alone is enough to reason not invest in him as a cornerstone of your franchise.

Is that her?

Article says "financial" abuse over the span of a multiyear relationship" and she previously posted this

Even if these allegations prove to be false, Zion is just a constant embarrassment to the Pelicans and the league. The guy has zero drive and professionalism.

Someone should get Ja, Zion and Miles Bridges and form the new Jail Blazers.

I am never one that automatically accuses women of lawsuit hunting, I won’t dismiss anyone as a liar.

Unless it’s Moriah Mills. If this is her, I’m skeptical to say the least.

I was just doing some digging. She's alleging they were together from 2020, so that sounds like her.

Her tweets and Tiktoks definitely seem like she's trying to extort him for money, and has been trying for a while.

If that's the case, Zion is an idiot for hooking up with soneone like that in the first place. Keep your dick in your pants.

Obviously if true it’s terrible. But if it is lies, and it’s the same pornstar who started drama with him before, backing her just makes it worse for any potential legitimate future victims of this sort of thing. Just a mess on all sides.

I'm going to assume he did it if in the immediate aftermath multiple women come forth with similar stories as with Harvey Weinstein and Darren Sharper.

I'm going to withhold judgment if no other women come forward and no further evidence is presented.

They need to make a law requiring the “victim” to come forward within a specified amount of year of the lawsuit.

There was lawsuit accusing Byron Scott of rape from 1987. Why wait that long, and how can you prove either way that something criminal happened that long ago: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/45041272/lawsuit-accuses-byron-scott-sexually-assaulting-teen-1987

In 2025 a sexual assault lawsuit is quick come up. I work in the legal/finance space and the American court system is abused heavily.

Bro what the hell??
Being “inconsiderate of their wishes” when those wishes are not to have sex with you, is literally what rape is?!!?


I mean if he used physical force that's a whole different thing.

Yeah, very true. Criminal jurors have to be unanimous, where civil is majority rules.

Abuse can go on for years. There was also a long period of time when sexual abuse allegations were mostly ignored by the courts. Are you trying to tell me that Harvey Weinstein didn't rape over 80 women? Most of the rapes happened decades before the accusations. Accusing a rich and powerful man of rape 20-30 years ago saw your career ruined and the case thrown out.

With the wage gap and economy continuing to trend the way it's trending.. NBA players making 60 mil per year need to be on their P's and Q's.. I remember Shannon Sharpe (who now has his own set of issues) said he wouldn't even get into an elevator alone with a single woman. :o

And yet he hooked up with an 18 year-old adult film star (possibly before she even turned 18).

I believe she was 19.. haven't heard any rumors of her being anything under. But nevertheless still not a good look.

If that's the case (and also if he didn't rape her), the point is still he wasn't careful. Don't have sex with porn stars if you're a millionaire. It's that simple.

A porn star a few years ago (I forget the name, I think maybe the one Dwight or TRoss were dating) detailed how she and her colleagues extort athletes for money.
