NBA - Main

all that so the Hornets finish 12th instead of 14th

Bro ur franchise paid Gary Payton, Malone and Dwight Howard

I hope the only reason Silver is allowing this is so this dude can eat flagrant 2s from every opposing enforcer, and then have the refs call them common fouls.

"upon further review, the Johnny Cage split punch on Bridges has been deemed incidental contact."

Ok and what are we gonna do now?

yea dawg i heard they all made up etc

When will people understand that there is very little the NBA can do, this rests all on the NBAPA, so if you wanna blame an entity then blame them lmao

His momma said he a good boy tho

The first incident is only alleged tbf

yes the world of reddit really needed this

You should be more upset with the criminal justice system than the nba

It’s so goddamn disappointing he still has a place in the NBA.

why did he beat up a lady

What are the advanced metrics for the 2nd incident though

If the league was cool with a registered sex offender continuing to play (Ruben Patterson), this is a blip on their map. Revenue cures all when it comes to sports. Boo him all you want (and rightfully so) but to do it in person means you bought a ticket to the game.

I hope he has to play every game against Draymond without Curry

As long as he can dunk NBA won’t care

NBA: best we can do is eject players taunting (because it could lead to fights)

Kobe raped a 15 year old. Nobody seems to remember that.

Hopefully we get our 2nd blowout win tomorrow night

Good on you but also very clearly nobody cares. The NFL just keeps getting more popular and their guys are much worse. People care if you’re good or not. That’s it.

Is all this confirmed or are we still not caring about Innocent until proven guilty? Geninuely asking, haven't been following this.

Ik a dude who went to jail for punching his girl. I remember seeing her black eye and am glad he was put away for it. The fact this pos is free and still making millions should radicialize you. $$$ talks and justice is a sham.

Those were all allegations. Such a dumb narrative in this sub.

#CHILD ABUSERS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN THE NBA

a true thug that should have no platform

"I've said this before - If Hannibal Lecter ran a 4.3 (40-yard dash) we'd probably diagnose it as an eating disorder."

The only way he gets banned is if LeBron, Curry, and the other superstars had called for his banning. Instead most of them trained with him and came out in support of him.

Lmfao why do we need a reminder

Thankfully similar to drug addiction, we don’t treat perpetrators of domestic abuse by ostracising them, but with education, therapy, counselling and compassion.

I grew up in a house hold with both of these issues, and they don’t get fixed by removing them and pretending they don’t exist. I’m not condoning his actions, but this post does nothing, we have seen it a million times, we know what he did, he knows what he did. He apologised, served the suspension, is in therapy, removing his way of paying child support won’t end this cycle.

Let me preface this by saying that Miles is an abuser who shouldn’t be in the league. With that being said, has there been any evidence that he did the pool ball stuff aside from his ex’s word? The same ex who was also abusive and has caused their children even more pain? She shouldn’t be trusted on her word alone.

Last time we had pictures. Miles definitely did that (heinous) stuff, as evidenced by his no contest plea.

As a prison abolitionist, I don't believe that it helps people or society to outright ban an individual from their profession unless the crimes they commit are extraordinary. I actually don't think banning people and harshly punitive sanctions do anything to actually help rehabilitate Bridges himself, or help his family or anyone involved. Bridges' wife came out in his defence this summer, which shows how complicated these issues really are for the two of them as perpetrator and victim.

In restorative justice, the idea is that accountability is a process that involves the victim and their wishes, with great care. I can't speak for Bridges' wife or her family, but their voices matter more than mine or yours do, regarding this specific matter.

We all want what is best for Bridges and his family and his kids, in the end. I repeat, WE ALL WANT THE BEST FOR THEM GOING FORWARD. Personally, in my opinion, I don't think the best outcome for him and his family, including his children, will happen by banning him from the NBA for life.

Ok

Dude's a danger to his ex and child, and should be doing time right now. Insane that he just gets to keep on making millions playing a game.

I've largely stopped using Twitter, but I was on briefly right as the news broke, and the amount of people on there defending and even celebrating him was disgusting.

That's terrible. I hope his bank account is ok

You may want to suspend him after the first charges but that’s not the way our legal system functions. It shouldn’t be the way our professional sports leagues function either. Let the law convict him then suspend him for life.

Who cares? If he was any good I’d want him on the Lakers

Get that karma

Yeah but look at his splits for shooting and not for his split lips producing

They should package him with Lonzo Ball to China.

and he still got less time than Ja and Draymond lol

I could give a fuck, I don’t know them

The idolization of athletes in the social media era is more dangerous than it ever has been.

Jesus I never knew about this.

NBA will just sweep it under the rug. Look at Jason Kidd. Not only did he smack the shit out of his wife, but he also crashed his car while drunk and fled the scene. He's a head coach now so the lesson is that domestic violence and DUI's = promotion

Every time Miles Bridges gets a rebound he says “Bad Man get paid.”

Does anybody actually want him in the NBA

Lakers flair you know what Kobe did right?

Not trying to defend dude but using Wikipedia for basis is not a great idea. example a

he has no place in this league whatsoever

He's on a team though?

Multiple WNBA players have gotten slap on the wrist for domestic violence why shouldn't he.
