Extremely disappointed this happened with literally their worst player, this would have been interesting if it was Chet or SGA.

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

Wtf type of comment is this? Would have been more interesting if it was someone else who slept with an underage girl? So this is entertainment for y’all okay

The league is going to do everything to sweep this shit under the rug, the Oklahoma City Thunder could make a strong statement by cutting this dude if they're able to verify that he had sex with a 16 year old.

For anyone trying to defend this, Josh Giddey is the age of a college senior, going after high school sophomores, let that play out a bit, fuck him!

Age of consent in Australia and Oklahoma is 16, for what it’s worth

What happened?

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

What allegations? Who has excused him of wrong doing? Where’s the proof the girl is underage? I see two different pictures of two different girls with randoms all claiming different ages. When did this supposedly occur? Dude just turned 21 too he’s young. Why is this is a story?

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

Josh Giddey is most likely done after this and rightfully so. Meanwhile Miles Bridges gets welcomed back with open arms after nearly beating his girl to death.

[–] svall18@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Miles is actually good

If Giddey was on this team and he did what Miles did, we'd cut him. It's fucked up, but that's the way it is

Is there more pedophiles now or is it the same % but they are getting exposed more?

Is there something going on culturally that is causing this?

If it's 20 and 17 when things happened ("best" or "least bad" possibility) it may not be illegal. It may not be creepy to some. But it's definitely dumb no matter what. Beyond stupid.

Get ready to adopt Mormonism buddy. You’re being traded to Utah.

17 and 21 is a huge gap emotionally and maturity wise, this is so gross if true.

I’m gonna assume all the “durr it not so bad” comments in here are coming from this sub’s considerably young posters and not actual adults. Trust me when I say, young people, that there are considerable differences between college age people and high school age people, whether you want to believe it or not.

Wont be suspended for more than 5 games, or charged with any crimes for that matter.

[–] LilBigZay@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Bro. I'm in the group chat that found the comment that led to this when it had 3 likes and did a mini investigation that blew this shit up. So crazy to see it get this mainstream holy shit.

Embiid tried to put a stop to this predator and you all hated on him

[–] Ancient_Ice_2677@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Gonna leave personal opinion out of this, but even if she was legal by age of consent, if they exchanged any sexual photographs its still a felony due to federal laws. So he could be in trouble either way.

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

So apparently there’s a guy on Twitter who called this like last week. @TheyAlreadyKnew posted the screenshot of some user saying that Giddey talks to underage girls and that user is now saying that his friends sister talked to giddey or had some interactions with him. Not sure details of that but i find it odd that some random user was so specific about that and just days later it comes out like there has to be some truth to it all

This will just confirm how the Karl Malone outrage was CAP. Always knew it was.

[–] MormoNoMo67@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What are other precedents with the NBA for what type of punishment to expect if this is proven true?

It’s gotta be at least a lengthy suspension from the NBA. Any examples of how the NBA had responded previously? The first name that came to my mind was Chris “Birdman” Anderson about ten years ago.

I feel like making a mod post about allegations and not including any context from reputable sources is irresponsible and premature.

I, who know nothing, am learning nothing of value from this discussion thread, outside of gossip

Hope for his sake the allegations aren’t true or dude will be stuck with the nickname “Josh Kiddey” till he retires

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

I was wondering if this was ever going to be posted here. I saw it many other places and nothing on this site.

[–] thenatureboyWOOOOO@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It doesn’t seem like anyone has a clear answer on her age.

Best case scenario it’s weird, worst case it’s illegal.

NBA should suspend him if he committed a crime and move on. People acting like this is the crime of the century when Miles Bridges is on the court is interesting.

Maybe this would be an unpopular opinion but if Giddey is really with a 17 year old, is that really that weird? He just turned 21 from what I understand. Like sure there are some questions about how long he might have been talking to her, but this seems like a silly thing to be blowing out of proportion. It’s not like he’s 30, dude is basically a kid himself
