The media training is strong with this one

[–] dragonrider5555@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

My favorite are the fans who think the Barkley question was truly random and unexpected. One of worst takes of all time. Can’t believe someone thinks that’s the case.

Spineless piece of shit

[–] Cough_Syrup55@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I want William Lou and Lou Williams to meet one day

[–] Kokopolol@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He’s like ChaptGPT talking.

What a disappointing word salad answer from Silver

[–] 3rdEyeDeuteranopia@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

[–] EdwEd1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Respect to them for being willing to confront him about this directly, Silver saying everyone deserves due process to a guy that already pled no contest to charges before getting arrested again is just such a cop-out

[–] HotDogWater1978@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Adam Silver is a cunt

[–] TreyLyles@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Adam Silver can't be in a room with garlic

[–] naked-fitness@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Unless he’s wielding the elder wand

[–] in_the_summertime@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yall are hating on him but he’s right. Give the guy his day in court. If he’s found guilty and the nba let him play then you can get your pitchforks out.

[–] TheDeadman95@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Alien ass looking bitch

[–] Father_420_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This chicken shit doesn’t care as long as the guy can play

[–] whowasonCRACK2@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Adam Silver is technically correct that the league is not allowed to punish Bridges without due process, but that only applies to league suspensions.

The hornets organization, on the other hand, would be completely within their rights to make him stay away from the team or even cut him entirely, and the Hornets are pieces of shit for not doing this.

What do you want him to say? If he makes a strong statement it would be empty since no action can be taken.

[–] GlueGuy00@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

f*ck you Silver!

[–] OkBuddyErennary@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Fuck adam silver

[–] MrAppleSpoink@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What will it fucking take for the league to stop empowering rapists, wife beaters, and child abusers? Like seriously what the fuck is their goal here?

Kobe raped a young woman in Colorado, everyone whose head isn’t all the way up their own asshole understands that the facts of the case are damning beyond any conclusion other than guilt. Despite this the league actively protected him, they talk about and rave about him every chance they get, they name awards after him, and my own fucking team is building a statue of him. That’s right, a giant statue of a good for nothing rapist.

Karl Malone raped a 13 year old girl and got her pregnant, then avoided any degree of support because his worthless grubby money hungry hands didn’t want to let a penny slip between his fingers. It’s bad enough he’s not in prison, but the league literally invited him to all star weekend. Oh and he wasn’t just a guest, HE WAS A JUDGE IN THE DUNK CONTEST!!! They promoted him despite knowing full well all the things he’s done.

Now Miles Bridges. He beat the fuck out of his girlfriend in front of their kids. Here’s a list of her injuries on wikipedia: strangulation, brain concussion, closed fracture of nasal bone, contusion of rib, multiple bruises, and a neck muscle strain. Because he’s rich and America’s laws don’t apply to the rich, he got off with just probation… which he violated by returning to this woman’s house, throwing billiard balls at her car WHILE HER KIDS WERE INSIDE, and had his new girlfriend hit and kick the car at the same time.

Fuck Adam Silver, and fuck this league for actively empowering people who deserve to be thrown into cell and have the shit kicked out of them until they can’t walk by the other inmates.

If all goes well, someone will throw the hardest flagrant 2 in NBA history at Bridges and he’ll be done for his career, but all of these players are buddy buddy with abusers, rapists, pedophiles, and anti-semites, so what’s the fucking point.

[–] Bajecco@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Pathetic, gutless corporate ghoul

[–] -super-hans@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Big ups to Will Lou and Blake Murphy for using their opportunity with the commissioner to ask tough questions, even if he didn't give a great answer

[–] jharbiid@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I rechecked the clip wondering if I missed it was lou Williams lmao I’m a dumbass

[–] uhAckchyually@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If stern was still alive he’d bitch slap silver like the little bitch he is

Awww I thought it was Lou Williams lol

[–] kyriosdominus@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ah, yes, one of the best Man Sixths of all-time, William Lou.

nostradamus lookin ass

[–] An-Ignorant-Slut@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Silver is such a fucking snake. He’d let hitler hoop if it meant more money in his pocket

[–] jakkyspakky@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What a word salad of a question. He's a professional?

[–] Tearz_in_rain@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

We seriously going to listen to a toon killer on the topic of domestic abuse.

[–] dvrwin@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What is that you want silver to say that will satisfy you?

[–] Ninneveh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Adam Silver: Ask yourself this, will this player make me money? There's your answer.

[–] IskaralPustFanClub@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

No one can tell me Adam silver is 100% human.

[–] dvrwin@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What is it that you guys want him to say?

Guilty until proven innocent? Dang! Y’all are obsessed.

[–] desirox@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Reminder that Adam Silver is a lawyer by trade. He is an expert at giving non answers and frankly that’s what the owners expect from him

[–] Unfair-Club8243@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Dudes gotta be a vampire

[–] beeker888@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That might be the longest question I’ve ever heard

[–] OKCprod@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Great response from Silver. He's a good commissioner this subreddit is just pathetic.

[–] playfreeze@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Silver straight up looks reptilian for real lol

[–] Green-Umpire2297@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bridges choked his wife until she passed out, broke her nose and gave her a concussion, all in front of her kids, and it was on video.

Due process my ass. How the fuck is he still playing.

[–] n3sta@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I kinda want to rub my cheek on his forehead

[–] toystory2wasokay_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why is his eyes pitch black like the devil?

[–] jbrunsonfan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

In an ideal world the nba will set firm rules like, convicted of 1 dv you’re out for the season. If it happens again you’re out indefinitely. But the nba won’t set hard rules because they know the day will come when a top 10 player commits this awful act, and they value money above all else (as businesses do). And yeah, also dv isn’t always easy to prove.

Miles Bridges is just straight up not good enough to have to deal with this, and he’s just not smart enough to make these incidents questionable. He’s not even an all star, and despite what some fans say he was probably never going to be. If, while he was suspended for this, he did it again… if I was silver I would make an example out of him. Let the union fight it in front of the court of public opinion.

And while he is a POS, Sarver was forced out of the league for being an out of touch boomer

Reverse Lou Williams
