That’s just strange, it has no business being discussed or brought up to Leonard.
His job is to play basketball, how is it fair or in any way ethical to bring up that subject if you’re a beat writer for the team?
This information is really unhelpful to the general public, there was no need for anyone to know the person involved was related to him, how is that in any way relevant? I’m not a fan of punishing the family when someone does something like this unless they’re involved which he clearly isn’t
Simone Biles brother was arrested for murder just last week, when your a public figure of huge notoriety anything you or your immediate family does is front page news, where have u been the last 25yrs were u born last night?
The fact they dont wont to allow bail because she has a wealthy sibling is also part of the story making her a possible flight risk if he bonded her out.
few months ago the college admissions scandal only became a scandal because the lady off Full House kids were involved , all the children of non celebrities didnt have to endure half the media scrutiny or papparazzi and thus went about their day.
You should try reading, it’s very helpful when you’re making a comment in response to someone.
You question whether I was born yesterday and ask where I’ve been the last 25 years as if I said anything about this being a new development.
If you had even a basic level of reading comprehension you’d realise that my point was that I disagree with it, I made no mention of it being something special to this case so your counter point is pointless.
I challenge you to give me one good reason, just 1 about why the general public needs to know that the person involved in this case is the sister of an NBA player.
I’ll be waiting
*puts on my Lucifer Red suit* Cus it's a democracy and the police operate on our behalf. There will always be a gray area between, on one side, a citizens right to know about matters that happen in the public sphere, which are punished by a law enforcement agency whose salaries come from tax dollars, and who are enforcing the laws that are upheld solely by public confidence, and on the other a criminals right to privacy and the need to maintain public order (hence why suicides aren't often reported publicly, as it could cause an epidemic).
NBA players are valued as public figures and their family, factually or not, are perceived to share in that publicity as its assumed that the NBA player will have some sort of material or personal connection with them. In the event that there is no personal connection, it affects our perception of the player as a public figure.
At the same time we don't live in a society where sons inherit the crimes of their parents or brothers share in the crimes committed by their sisters.

you may be right, but that would depend on an entirely different set of life choices
