I know this is going to sound completely fucked, so PLEASE forgive me in advance, but hasn't it been fairly normal for anyone back in the HS days to see a Jr or Sr dating a college freshman? I've known so many hookups between 20yo's and 16-17 year old girls that it felt normal back in the day. I hated it because it was always the girls I liked dating older guys.
Josh is an idiot for sure, but it's not like his brain is exactly developed as a 20 year old (when this allegedly happened).
Ok and I know a lot of 15-16-17 year old girls who have wound up hooking up with 25+ year old men. Just because it happens doesn’t make it right. For a high profile person to have been (potentially) exposed for it needs to be investigated to show that it is absolutely not ok. If this just gets passed by with no consequences then any regular 20+ year old man will also feel there are no consequences for doing the same.
That's okay but the thing is in this particular situation people say he is over 18 and she isn't so the balance of power and maturity is insane . That he is a fully developed adult and she is a child . They speak of it like its a 50 year old with an 10 year old . In AnTs slur video and In morants situations people were saying , oh he is only 20 , he is still immature and doesn't know anything . You behaved like an idiot at that age too . So what is it then. Are they fully mature adults or nah ? Also as far as we know , nobody forced anyone into anything , so what's the deal then . He can't like someone few years younger or other way around . Most of my friends parents and my parents have like 4 years age gap between them and they all met in high-school, still married 40 years later
It's one thing when you're in the same circle, but if you're an NBA player and you're dating someone in High School? There's really no excuse for it.
None whatsoever. How did he even meet her? Dude could legit get any woman on the planet with his looks alone and he somehow ends up with a minor smfh
NBA players are human. When they are off the clock they are the same as anyone else their age. A 19/20 year old NBA player is still a 19/20 year old.
for me personally i can say i have seen that but only with people that went to the same high school and/or knew each other/dated before either of them turned 18. haven’t seen college guys seek out high-schoolers that they don’t know, definitely don’t think that is normal
