He live streamed it and after he was waived, double downed and said it again, on another live stream.
But, that was CLEARLY AI so he’s CLEARLY innocent lol

Did you read the body of the post and/or watch the videos I linked lol?
- Comment on Playoff Predictions 3 days ago:
I think Boston vs. OKC is the most likely Finals outcome, with OKC winning and Shai being MVP.
I think the Hornets “upset” the pistons in the first round. I’ve watched a couple Hornets games and they’re looking great, plus idk is Cade will be healthy enough.
I think Lakers beat the spurs in the second round. As a Lakers fan I’m not looking forward to this matchup but, as a basketball fan its super interesting. The Spurs are clearly a better team but have basically no playoff experience. On the other hand, 4 of the 5 Lakers starters have played in the Finals before. Its the ultimate experience vs talent matchup.
- Comment on Would the Rockets be better off with Dillon Brooks over KD? 3 days ago:
If you want to speculate about that, go right ahead, but that’s all it’ll ever be.
That’s literally what this post is about, why even comment in the first place lol?
- Comment on Would the Rockets be better off with Dillon Brooks over KD? 3 days ago:
KD was far from the biggest problem with that Suns team.
Do you mean on the court, in the locker room, or both?
- Comment on Would the Rockets be better off with Dillon Brooks over KD? 3 days ago:
No, I just don’t think Fred is that much better than Reed Shepherd. It’s not like Fred is Luka or something. We’ve never seen FVV and Durant play together though, so I might be way off here. It might also be a coaching issue. That also doesn’t explain why the Suns are better this season.
What I’m asking though, is Kevin Durant just a toxic player? Every team he’s on turns to shit at some point, when is it just Durant that’s the problem. On the other hand, every team with Brooks on it seems to have great chemistry. It’s a lot easier to play good team basketball when you actually like your team.
- Comment on Would the Rockets be better off with Dillon Brooks over KD? 4 days ago:
KD Rockets: 45-29 Brooks Rockets: 52-30
KD Suns: 36-46 Brooks Suns: 41-33
The teams with KD on them have a worse record than the teams with Brooks.

- Comment on NBA Presents 3 Anti-Tanking Proposals to Board of Governors 1 week ago:
I guess, I mean the gotta do something lol.
I have a few ideas myself
1- The team with the worst record looses their first round pick. After that everything stays the same but now the teams with the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th have the same odds and so on.
2- More teams should Bam/Heat it against tanking teams. At first I thought what the Heat did at the end of that game was lame but, the more I sat and thought about it, the Heat were right to cheese it for Bam.
Cause fuck the Wizards. Image you bought tickets to that gsme, how lame would it be if the Heat just won by 40 and sat their starters in the fourth. But now, all those fans will remember when Bam put up 83.
Oh, you’re starting 3 G-League players against the Lakers? Guess what, Luka is putting up 60 shots and going for 110pts tonight. At worst, it give fans something actually worth watching.
3- The team with the worst record after 81 games has to play, and lose to the Harlem Globetrottets the last game of the season. The Globetrottets get all the calls from the refs and will pants your head coach and pie your owner at some point in the game.
- Comment on Cade to Miss Time with Collapsed Lung 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, otherwise the Hornets will just cruise into the finals lol.
- Comment on Cade to Miss Time with Collapsed Lung 2 weeks ago:
Sources told Charania that the collapse of Cunningham’s lung is considered mild.
I didn’t know a collapsed lung could be mild lol. Hope he’s OK though, was really looking forward to watching their playoff run.

- Comment on I've never seen Joker get this heated before 4 weeks ago:
Idk, the look on his face seems like this is up a notch or two. The thing with morris was more not letting shit slide, Jokic still looked pretty calm.
- Comment on I've never seen Joker get this heated before 4 weeks ago:
Totally agree he should be suspended. The league is way to lax with these dirty players. Draymonds been kicking people in the jewels and other nonsense for years because there’s little to no consequences for his auctions.
The announcer saying that a flagrent two is to much is crazy to me to. I guess that’s what the rules might officially dictate, change the rules then. Hard fouls and playing physical is one thing but, this was clearly just trying to injure another player which has no place in basketball.

WTF is this guys problem? This, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia. Why is it so hard for these guys to take a moral stance on anything, at the very least say “no comment” or some shit. Rich people really need to be studied to find out what’s wrong with them, this is genuinely a mental illness.

- Comment on Trade Deadline Thoughts? 1 month ago:
Cavs reek of desperation. They are (where?) still young and had like 2-3 years to figure it out or at least make a better trade.
- Comment on Trade Deadline Thoughts? 1 month ago:
Seeing what the Mavs got for AD makes the Luka trade even worse. They ended up with basicly 3 late 1st rounders, Max Christie who’s OK, a bunch of trash, and like 25 games of AD healthy. Just wild.
- Comment on Trade Deadline Thoughts? 1 month ago:
They sold high. Clips are on a 12-2 run and where looking good, just like every year though. Got way younger and got a few picks, I’d say the Clips are the biggest winners this trade deadline by far.

- Comment on NBA star Stephen Curry faces backlash over investments in ‘Israeli’ firms 1 month ago:
If a person give a company money to invest for their retirement they can look into the investment company itself but its unreasonable for them to look into every company they invest in. Normal people generally don’t have time to check new investments that company makes everyday. Once an individual is made aware of their money being invested into immoral companies then its there responsible to act.
Penny Jar is an early-stage VC firm anchored by Stephen Curry
That’s a quote from their website, see the difference? Steph didn’t just give someone money to invest and they did something without his knowledge.
- Comment on NBA star Stephen Curry faces backlash over investments in ‘Israeli’ firms 1 month ago:
My point is that these athletes have made enough money to the point where lack of money will never be an issue for them. Steph does not need to invest money in companies involved in apartheid and genocide, if he can’t start a company without giving money to people involved with apartheid and genocide. I don’t see what’s contraversal or hard to understand about that?
- Comment on NBA star Stephen Curry faces backlash over investments in ‘Israeli’ firms 1 month ago:
Investing for retirement is way different than owning a venture capital firm. Steph doesn’t need more money, nor does Lebron, nor do those golfers. It’s not about capitalism or lack if money, the problem is lack of backbone. Again, how much money do these people need before they stop making decisions based on money?
