The Thunder organization or NBA have yet to address the situation and he's not injured so currently it looks like he will play. Its probably gonna be a pretty awkward situation though. I wonder if Journalists will bring it up if they have more evidence at practice/press conferences

What do you guys think?

Idk but I don’t think they’ll be able to sweep it under the rug. On twitter he’s still trending with 115k posts. Joe Biden has 99k.

[–] chronoquairium@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think yes because the NBA doesn’t give a fuck about women and has proven that time and time again

What isn't legal in Oklahoma?

Newport Beach isn't in Oklahoma

She's a junior in HS now, that means she's either 15 or 16 if she's typical age for her grade. Juniors turn 17 in the following calendar year.

[–] CoreyFromXboxOne@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

His NBA career could be over, with him now headed for the minor league.

DNP: Some guys on reddit and Twitter have a feeling about something.

FYI boys a picture saying “I fucked someone” isn’t going to send someone to jail. For all you know (which is nothing, you know next to nothing) it was just a joke to wind up someone.

Obviously if he did something bad he will get penalised, but this is just a couple teens on social media kicking up a fuss

[–] Shrederjame@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ya this is not a JA situation where we KNOW that was him who had the gun and did all the other stuff (mostly cuz he posted it himself).

Here, this is by a third party who we dont know their motive. the actual evidence itself is not really great (not saying he did not do it just saying this is not a smoking gun) as its a couple of photos which can be altered and the age of the girl has not been verified. So until more comes out the NBA should conduct an investigation, and everyone should sit tight.

Cut from roster: I THINK SOMETHING MIGHT BE FISHY HERE

How much more proof do you want? They’re both half naked and the text is pretty obvious. Tons more pics and videos on twitter too. Including the school she goes to, her full name, date of birth

[–] Minimania18@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I mean, the text can be added on afterwards. Though just being there without a shirt is kinda weird.

And they have to be 100 percent sure that is actually him in the pictures, even if it obviously looks like him.

[–] GorillaX@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lol and there's zero chance the text isn't true right? That girl also looks nothing like the one in the homecoming/yearbook pic floating around. For all we know, that girl is his fuckin cousin, they just went swimming, and then some funny guy slapped a caption on it later.

All that being said, he could also be a child fucker and we need to punt his ass back to Australia. But let's wait and see eh?

[–] iWonder007@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

There’s tik tok videos with the same name as the girl in the yearbook/homecoming pic and she looks exactly like the tweet above. Makeup can change how girls looks from picture to picture

Agree with waiting and getting more proof, I’m just saying there’s more evidence than the guy above is saying

[–] DynamixRo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He will play, and that girl will be sitting courtside with an engagement ring on.

DNP: Busy with Giddey’s Kiddeys

[–] SprinklesLeft6182@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do we even know the girl is underage. Or did ppl just saw a tweet and ran with it?

[–] waynequit@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

how many juniors in high school not underage?

[–] SprinklesLeft6182@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Again do you even know if she’s junior in high school?, y’all just rushing to conclusions

[–] Schneeetzil@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Jesus I would hate to have you guys on my jury panel, there’s still no evidence of anything yet, literally nothing we have seen with our on eyes is anything illegal.

[–] matzan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I mean, if it were me, I would tell the media or post that I didn't have sexual relations with a minor and it is all a lie. Instead, he blocked his social accounts and is hiding.

We will see tommorow anyway. Today is Thanksgivings.

[–] ImPretendingToCare@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

and this is exactly why the jury should just be random people.

Cause your average person is a clueless hollow shell.

[–] matzan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Unless he is convicted of crime, he will play.

[–] Phenomenal2313@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Unless something groundbreaking comes up , the Thunder would be comfortable in playing him

[–] ruja_ignatova@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Depending on the stage, he did nothing legally wrong.

And again, where is the back lash against Kobe for getting a high school junior pregnant? Let's be morally consistent people.

[–] ahrumah@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’d be shocked if we don’t get a very generic statement from the league and team tomorrow saying they take the allegations seriously and are undertaking an investigation, leading to Giddey sitting out for the foreseeable.

[–] -KFBR392@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Why wouldn’t he play, Christmas break isn’t for another 3 weeks and she’s probably cramming for midterms and can’t go out.

[–] OhlookSILLagain@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They gotta get all the facts first. I'm seeing all kinds of crazy things.

[–] messibusiness@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don’t know, but what I do know is that I just fucked Josh Giddey

[–] TheMoorNextDoor@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don’t see how with this information out won’t get him side eyed hard by other players especially veterans with daughters around that age or younger.

Nobody and I repeat nobodyyyyy respect pedos or pedo like behavior. This ain’t no Udoka situation this is wayyyyyy worse.

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don’t see how with this information out it wouldn’t get him side eyed hard by other players especially veterans with daughters around that age or younger.

I wouldn't bet money on this. It's really difficult to tell how nba players view morality and where they draw the line between a good and bad action. Karl Malone fucked a 12 year old girl, who gave birth to his son at 13. Plenty of nba players with daughters of their own respect him regardless

[–] hdmetric99@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We don’t know for a fact if Giddey did anything illegal.

BUT there’s plenty of evidence that he was spending time in a manner that was inappropriate with a MINOR who was a HS sophomore in 2022.

Do y’all think that is weird???

[–] SandyMandy17@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

No evidence yet so he’s gotta be available

If I’m Giddey or the team I ask him to sit and make up a reason for now

[–] Anxious_Star_5710@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Anyone downplaying the situation as just online drama is deep in denial. Chet deleting his posts with Giddey can’t just be a coincidence. Whoever decided to “expose” Josh Giddey opened up a Pandora’s box. Will that affect him in the NBA? Who knows, Miles Bridges is doing fine there.

[–] Dr_Saigon@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Close friend went to jail for a few years for hooking up with a girl who lied about her age. Giddey will be able to settle with the family but if he wasn’t rich he would be screwed
