I still find the jokes about Scottie Barnes so disgusting. If Scottie is autistic, then what do you call the players that he is absolutely dominating?

To be fair, can't someone be autistic and dominate at the same time? Max Park in speedcubing is iirc autistic and was dominant for a period of time (probably still is, no longer follow it though)

Sure but it's not like these comments are praising how inspirational it would be for him to be an elite nba player with austism. They're mocking him for acting 'weird'. This sub and r/nbacirclejerk bring it up every time there's a Scottie post.

Tony Snell got clowned on the internet for saying he had been diagnosed with autism. As a raps fans I've seen enough Scottie content to conclude that he's just a big ol goof ball. It's funny cos guys like Giannis and Lebron are beyond goofy at times but no one comes out with autistic comments lol.

Did you his 'rocking the baby' celebration? I'd doubt him ever beating the allegations...

Anyone call LeBron autistic for shooting his hand and talking to it?

Autism nowadays is a very wide spectrum. Like 1/20 for boys. Which means 20-30 players in the league. It’s a nice line and stupid joke but might be best to ignore it than give it oxygen.
