Again, adding a veil of nuance to something that just isn't.
It's not some rigid cold black and white scenario. This isn't rocket science. This isn't some mythical code that has been handed down from generation to generation via monks, oral history, ordination, 10 levels of obfuscation, meetings in darkened rooms, encoded 5 times and requires generations of study to decipher.
It's common fucking sense. You have to work with these guys 8 months of the year. You just made it abhorrently clear that you can not be trusted by anyone in your team. There are a lot of guys around the league that have business they'd rather not be made public. A lot of them are Franchise players. Some of them are coaches. And they now can't trust you, at all. Ever. Because who knows what you will constitute worth making public, as a "prank".
It's not a "bro code". It's a, I work with these people for 8 months of the year and they're co-workers whom I am going to be intimately close with possibly sharing a hotel room and we're going to be working in a high stress fatigued environment, code. You are going to be privy to a whole lot of their private life, particularly if you're team mates for several years. You don't see it in ANY sports. womens soccer, netball, cricket.
Player B could have just had an argument with his wife. Called her all sorts of names. He was just blowing off steam. But you recorded it.
Player C could have just started dating a girl. Wants to date her for a while. Doesn't want his mother to find out via TMZ. But you recorded it.
Player A could be dating another celebrity. But it's new, and neither party wants it public while they go through the first few stages of dating. But you recorded it.
Player D could be doing anything personal that he doesn't want made public of which there are a million scenarios that don't cross anyone's moral "compass". But you recorded it.
Literally everyone now has to be on guard around you, can't trust anything they say to you, and can never let you in on a personal level. Never bond. Literally ruining the basis of having a cohesive team environment. Because who knows what will trigger the next "prank".
I got your comparison. I'm not the one throwing around insults, veiled or otherwise, because that would be a lack of class... But that's just another deflection to try and derail the fact that your actual argument has no standing. No bearing. How the media portray it has literally no effect on my judgement or statement. I haven't even listened to anyone in the media say anything about it.
I've not had to bring in "my morals" to this. Cause it's not really relevant. This has nothing to do with judging the actions of Young. It's about the out right stupidity of airing your team mates dirty laundry in public when it has absolutely 100% nothing to do with you. Not to mention which, this wasn't done on the basis of moral outrage. It was a "prank".
The Irving story is just completely irrelevant in the terms of comparison. It literally has no similarities at all in terms of how it affects the players on the team.
So you're just being intentionally obtuse now I see. You've not paid attention to the media/internet reactions yet you know my argument has no bearing? It's clear you don't even know what my argument is or how I've compared it to the Irving scenario. Hint: Young never got public ally crucified like Irving's ex did the day prior. Fuck, I'm pretty sure we had dudes on here arguing that what she went though isn't slut shaming because she's a cheater! If you don't see any layers of misogyny here while SAS is calling Russell D'Angela and your tossing around the female gentalia as an insult than I'm probably just waiting my time.
I've also never said what Russell did was acceptable team behavior. I understood team dynamics before your word salad.. Unless your start making your own assumptions (which you are clearly doing) , he never intended to make it public. If he never intended to make it public, it's something he can learn from and be forgivin. If the dude intended to make it public, regardless of why, he deserves all the shit he got and some. That still doesn't change the fact that the reactions to these two stories separated by 24 hours highlight the double standard that exists in today's society. Team dynamics be damned.

Lakers' Julius Randle was fined $15,000 for making an obscene gesture (the big-balls dance) during win over Miami on March 30.
I want no part in playing the Hornets in the first round.

By kjack Go To PostIs the report that he posted the shit to Snapchat true?fameolous.com, the same site that originally broke the story, published this article today:
Exclusive: D’Angelo Russell Video Was Leaked Due To Iggy Azalea Shading Nicki Minaj On Bravo TV (VIDEO)
Update- Listen to our interview we explain how everything played out. (LISTEN HERE)
The truth behind the D’Angelo Russell is that Iggy Azalea words about Nicki Minaj are the caused of this entire ordeal. To be clear, Nicki Minaj herself never made contact with Fameolous.com about the video. An alleged source from Nicki’s team sent us the video out of frustration after Iggy Azalea BravoTv interview went viral. Iggy Azalea interview hit online March 23, 2016, and we got the leaked video March 23 at 3 am for it to be released immediately. The video is months old and was stolen by D’Angelo Russell’s ex-girlfriend. The video was uploaded to snap, and someone who claimed to have associations with Nicki’s team took the video. The video got leaked due to Iggy Azalea interview with Bravo concerning Nicki Minaj writing her raps. Check out the interview below.

By diehard Go To Postyou took your out when MKG was injured, so.. nothing?By my math if we had MKG, we'd be looking at a 2 seed
Shattering my own lofty expectations :wow:
Looking like Kristaps Porzingis is day-to-day with a shoulder strain, however he's not returning unless his shoulder is deemed 100%. That sounds like he's out for the rest to the season considering strains can be 1-2 week things.
Also nice to see Jerian Grant finally get a fucking start and Early get some playing time. I guess Rambis wanted to make sure Knicks were out of contention for the 10th seed first.

By DY_nasty Go To PostKnux watching Marvin Williams catch bodies off his squad omgBodies are easier to catch when the souls are gone
Naw Rambis, you right. It was smart to keep Early and Grant on the bench. Gotta figure out what the youngsters Sasha and Jose can do.
I bet the scoring drought starts around now, maybe 2-3 minutes.
EDIT: Come on Nets, you can't be this bad.
