@canefan not sure if this occurred in OKC (maybe?) I read it was in the offseason in Cali.
That could be worse though. Age of consent in California is 18 I believe.
Seriously???
Man that's beyond stupid - imagine telling your 17yr old daughter that she isn't old enough to make decisions about her own body, fuck me dead
And considering he's only 21 the gap is narrower. Lots of girls around 16 and 17 could pass as over 18. A bloody minefield
Read today it is California and the police are investigating... sounds like he is already losing sponsorship deals.
This is just one more reason why social media is fucking poison.
Yup and TMZ reporting no cooperation so far from anyone in the alleged family.
Hopefully if the girl was of a reasonable age relative to him, and was consenting and/or the one chasing him, then the family said no harm no foul.
Still not in defending him mode yet with so many unknowns but twitter comparing him to karl.malone is a stretch.
If the girl / family aren't interested, he should be fine.
It will be interesting to see the sponsor reaction though.
Yeah although it would suck to lose the sponsors im sure if he stays in the league for two more contracts he is gonna be fine.
I mean Kobe still had sponsors.
Not sure how many of you have followed the Mikey Williams (high schooler who had 100mil puma contract). Got off gun charges today. Wonder if it will knock some sense into him.

Biggest delay in an update. Went to my first NBA game at the start of last month while in Chicago. Was pretty excited even though it was against the Jazz. The Bulls got a win as well. Because it was against the jazz we got pretty awesome seats for $100USD. Growing up as a kid I had bulls Duvet, Hat, starter jacket, MJ collection cards etc.
Was a cool experience but was gutted a couple of days later I didn't/couldn't go to Bulls vs Suns which KD and Beal played in and went to OT. I got pretty sick once the conference I was there was over so missed going to that game and the NFL game the following night which the Bears won as well.Amazing what they can get to mid-week sports games in the USA. It was funny years ago I lived in Canada and they would be so excited to watch Super rugby games/6 nations games and in 2011 seeing AB's live. Of course I get excited about the AB's but we take it for granted. I was that type of excited for a live NBA game.
Anyways Bulls are about to blow up now but are winning. I had a huge collection of Coby White Rookie cards couple of years back. Sold during the Mania but imagine his value has returned with his recent form.
-
@Magpie_in_aus Coby is on fire at the moment and definitely playing the most consistent of the Bulls players right now. He got a pretty decent contract out of his rookie contract, but it is the sort of contract that is atteactive in trades, so with his trade restriction ending before the All Star break, he could be part of deal if they do blow it up (and do a deal to trade LaVine out)
-
so, the Spurs suck, but at least we get Wemby highlights, and beat the Lakers.
But oh boy is it bad in Detroit. They lost their 25th straight today, to the 10-18 Jazz, who rested a bunch of their best players, and who were playing their 4th game since Sunday, and on a back-to-back.
Apparently the all-time record is 26-straight. Surely today was their only chance to avoid that?

Big big scoring year
5 players averaging above 30ppg, 43 players averaging above 20ppg5 years ago those numbers were 1 averaging 30, and 23 averaging above 20
Team average PPG is up huge since then too
This season 6 teams averaging above 120ppg (Pacers leading the way at 126), and the worst offensive side in Memphis still above 106
5 years ago a total of 0 teams averaged 120, the Warriors were the best at 113. The Grizzlies league-bottom average would have seen them 13th.Scoring is just through the roof. And that's with FTA looking slightly down.

Spurs fans watching Wemby take on Giannis
Spurs fans to those arguing Chet is ROTY

lol Jokic cracks me up
Denver had Detroit yesterday, and rather than do what most stars in his position would do, jack up 20 shots and try for a 40-piece, he instead toys with them, doesn't shoot (2 FGA all game, he had more blocks than that) and instead dishes it off for 16 assists.
Bloke is wired different

He really is. I think they're kinda just spinning wheels until the playoffs.
He was taking the piss against Detroit, which is fine in a comfortable win, but he also does weirds things like shoot 9-10 in a loss to OKC, a game where Reggie Jackson took 10 shots, and MPJ and Watson (yes, Watson) took 12 each. If my team is losing, and my best guy who happens to be the best player in the world, is shooting 90% for the game, I'm pretty keen for him to be taking 25 shots and at least double some random 2nd year dude.
