Anybody catch the Josh Giddey stuff floating online? I’m not gonna repost a 15 yr old picture.
Re: Around the League: Week 5 (11/20 - 11/26)
Googled…. Thought the picture of him was 15 years old. Dude messing with a 15 year old girl is disgusting… especially when he’s a multimillionaire and could have pretty much the pick of the litter of girls that are age appropriate. Hope this isn’t true for his sake…. Could be the end of his career.Drewsprocket wrote: ↑Thu Nov 23, 2023 3:00 amAnybody catch the Josh Giddey stuff floating online?

Yeah, just woke up and saw NBA twitter going wild about the Giddy stuff. Wow. It’s the internet, so don’t want to jump to conclusions on things that may not be true and hopefully it’s not but if it’s….yikes.
Re: Around the League: Week 5 (11/20 - 11/26)
Yeah, oof, rough story about Giddey. Do we know yet whether the alleged behavior was legal or illegal? I wonder what the laws and norms are about such things in Australia.
Re: Around the League: Week 5 (11/20 - 11/26)
Well I guess it depends on how old she actually is…but yes it does seem to be illegal(if the allegations are indeed true).

We don’t know her exact age but it does seem she is still very much in high school still.

NBA Reddit has a huge thread about the allegations.

Here in Brazil the consent age is 14. Legally he would be ok, but in terms of backlash, his career would be essencially over.
Re: Around the League: Week 5 (11/20 - 11/26)
I feel bad for everyone involved. This girl is going to be an internet celebrity for the rest of her life, and not for a "good" reason. Who knows if she wanted attention or not, but now forever more her name will be associated with this unseemly incident.
And Josh Giddey, if he actually wants to bed underage girls, I'm sad for that and hope he gets help. But if he was bamboozled and didn't know she was that young, I'm sad that he will have tarnished his reputation and maybe jeopardized his career over such a dalliance. Either way, he has been such a promising young NBA player that I'm sad to see this get in the way.
And I'm sad for the OKC team and organization. They have such a great group of young players there and seemed on the cusp of being a really special team. This is the kind of dark cloud that could derail an entire season. Do they have to trade / cut / suspend Giddey? Blech.
It also causes people to bring up past allegations against other NBA players like Kobe Bryant and Karl Malone. Just bad stuff all around.

The age of consent in Oklahoma is 16. We still have no clue how old she is or was when the alleged events happened. The source for her being a sophomore was from 2022 so she would be a junior now (if it's the same girl). It's from a school in California, though, where the age of consent is 18. So if he did it in CA or brought her across state lines, it could have serious criminal implications.

This age of consent shit is gross and if anyone tries to use it to justify stuff like this you're gross and I hope someone steals your car.
Send Giddey back to Australia.

Oh it will be used by the Thunder for sure. If he committed no crime, they will just sweep it under the rug.

Re: Around the League: Week 5 (11/20 - 11/26)
Did she really write "I f***ed Josh Giddey" on an Instagram post? This whole thing is really gross and disturbing.

This league just celebrated Karl Malone who raped a 13 year old. We all know about it, and they still did it. We have Kevin Johnson in the ring of honor. It’s all bad, and disgusting that so many people in the NBA don’t give a shit.

Could have about any girl he wants and he picks a minor. Dude needs to be thrown in jail.

Where is this girl’s parents?
