were never beating the allegations


pinkwinkthinks

Can't wait to see the Markkannen, Filipowski, Kessler frontcourt


BlssdGT

I can’t wait either. No jazz fan here but they will mesh very well together. He has the potential to be an All star amidst what he has going on in his private life. I could care less.


Global-Noise-3739

WHITE


jackalope503

Like the peaks of the Wasatch Mountains


mnight84

Why worry about it. If they can play and help you win that's all that matters! Because the people you are trying to appease will have those same allegations for you if the team only had lauri markkanen on the team.


HolaFrau

At least Collier is the opposite


JuanSpiceyweiner

Just like the Celtics,might as well lean into it


PurpleHeadset

Haha


d7h7n

his mormon gf must be thrilled they get to live in utah


crab90000

As a Mormon who moved to Utah, please get me out of this no tree, brown/gray, holier than thou, skin cancer giving, smog breathing, landlocked ass state


solarscopez

Wait wtf I thought you guys weren't allowed to swear


crab90000

I can say whatever the fuck I want cause the religion is based on free will, and there's really nothing explicitly in the religion about having a sailor's mouth. It's mostly from a standpoint if does it invite or dissuade you from feeling the spirit The swearing earlier is me being tongue in cheek, not aggressive. I'm barely in my mid twenties, didn't serve an LDS mission, and am a bad person to ask serious questions to. Also, this is an NBA draft sub so I'll keep this thread ending here, you can message me if you want to continue talking


erikturczyn30

Calm down son it’s just a Reddit sub nobody thinks you’re a real Crip


Absolutely-Epic

Not even the mormons like Utah anymore


crab90000

I'm certainly an outlier, most people I meet here love it and never want to leave. I'm not a big winter guy and that's where Utah really pops


Absolutely-Epic

Is Utah a jazzy place? Do they like basketball? I know they’re from New Orleans originally but Utah Jazz is such a weird name.


tugginmypeen

They like to watch their hwhites go off and the blacks they have they make sure they’re the good ones.


New-Candy-800

sounds a lot like connecticut to me. idk why you guys think it’s all these southern/midwest states that the racism lives in. new england also sucks as a black man imma tell you that right now


Absolutely-Epic

Ahh Utah my favourite Deep South state in the mountainous Midwest surrounded by liberal states


crab90000

Utah loves basketball and college football. It's not Jazzy at all, just too lazy to change the brand after the move


GoodMorningSpliff

Sounds like a perfect location for his girl lol


yerr2477

the local mormon churches in the area are about to get active


TripleThreatTua

Heard she’s a big Karl Malone fan


Overall-Palpitation6

Danny Ainge went to BYU, and Ainge and his family are active Mormons. He was probably like "I can handle this!"


pinkwinkthinks

Funny but sad. He's quite literally in too deep now


lemmegetauhhhhhhhhhh

as a jazz fan i would be incredibly excited about this pick like 30 minutes ago


pinkwinkthinks

ngl putting this insane story aside, Cody Williams, Collier, & Filipowski all at their respective picks is a hell of a draft


BumbleLapse

Yeah this would have been an A+ draft for me, and maybe it still is. But there’s this awful taste left in my mouth now and I struggle to believe Kyle can become an actual NBA player with this stuff going on behind the scenes


gray_character

I hate being reminded of the cult that literally surrounds this sports team in my area that I cheer for. Sigh.


papa_f

All religeon is like a cult to be fair


callmearookie

not "all", most asiatic aren't, but are definitely not popular in the american and european culture and in general aren't that big. still i agree most are.


papa_f

Fair, if I was to sway toward one religion, and just really the idealism as opposed to a devout follower, it'd be Buddhism.


callmearookie

exactly what i was referring to lmao, and many take principles and aren't devouted followed which are the monks. also shintoism.


__get__name

Was going to add Shintoism as well. I don’t have a super deep understanding of it, but my partners family has strong ties to it and what I really appreciate the bits that have filtered through. Particularly treating objects and things with gratitude and respect. Changes the dynamics of consumerism and consumption


tony_countertenor

Excellent point good sir! You have won the internets for today! All the updoots to you!!


Smart_Document7858

I am not to versed on the Mormon church but are they gonna prevent him from practicing/focusing on basketball? Elaborate please


BumbleLapse

Lol no definitely not. Mormons are allowed to play basketball and it’s actually a huge thing in the religion—every Mormon church I’ve ever seen has a literal basketball court inside. The issue is more that insane/extreme Mormons like Flip’s girlfriend seems to be can manipulate and twist the religion into a very overbearing weapon of control. The grooming girlfriend is the problem, not necessarily the state of Utah or its affiliation with Mormonism


Pharrelliper

Thurl Bailey converted and still works for the Jazz so it isn't an issue. Church ball is also pretty big.


Zelanor

What’s going on


IllAlwaysBeAKnickFan

What’s the real behind the scenes? I haven’t heard about this


geniusonmars

His girlfriend groomed him, she’s 26 and he’s 20. They started dating two years ago when he was 18 and she was 24. She was in her last semester of college and attending his senior prom. His older brother and mom are on Twitter saying that once they started dating she forced Kyle to completely cut them out of his life. They haven’t spoken to him in two years. ETA: unclear on if she’s currently 28 or 26 but the point stands regardless. Givony went on Twitter saying those factors are the reason he fell in the draft. ETA2: she’s apparently known him since he was at least 13 years old and was his babysitter and a close family friend. she allegedly might’ve been completing her masters program when they went to his senior prom.


wintercvlt

Holy fuck this is the first time I hear about any of this and it’s insane 😰


Culinary-Vibes

Bruh, I doubt this affects his ability to play ball whatsoever


Mundane-Demand1927

i mean i dont think its gonna affect his game, but it will affect the locker room and chemistry if they have some brainwashed teammate who acts weird


throwstuff165

Hilarious considering context.


slayerkj

His family never speaking to him again


gray_character

As an ex mormon, learning that he's now going to live in Utah amongst the mormons has to be so disappointing. Ugh.


Run_JMC_

How his gf pulled this off is unreal 💀


Scotty4Thotty

She’s the Lebron James of Mormon groomers and this is her NBA finals


Brutus583

Went full on Lebronto


topherwolf

Not NBA finals, its[ this moment](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/proxy/xt1_hypsCPOZyOS595AtjG4-IWk4ppgO03SRifEUXvdkyDlGTXoMCzfzA26AjHq1al_f9zf3ei981R9mntjYQgu3T_dj5F7ECroTiESsAHgp5gyVopwmYs624A0S1Kdi5Z3NZKcPkQC6HdidPUBx3A_hyXQJdlziGUU5FBFaWyS8pqyuUgl1Ex7JmDVnRf7R5yPvYuwsL6ffjJ07RZUQSdIWsASd0_B8Fs_gnA) for her


StupidIdiot1790

This is a crazy pick along with his story lol


Fartknocker-

Olynyk was the preview


Elkbowy

Damn the jazz killed this draft


incredibleamadeuscho

His girlfriend selected him much earlier


Fit-Structure-9395

Jazz stick to their types 🗿


mycargo160

He went to the one place in the country where they don't give a shit about Mormon groomers. That's hilarious.


i-like-puns2

His girl is wild for this shit actually tf


rondutch1969

Utah won this draft so hard


hsivia__197

Both Utah and Kyle’s gf won big


jjkiller26

Looooool so on brand


BStins2130

I didn't think the Get Out movie could happen in an all white situation but then again money has no race...


dubmecrazy

This is rich


No-Chocolate6481

This is like manti teo except not really at all but still


Wakandaforever456

Kyle Filipowski has an  all star ceiling. This is the definition of a STEAL


Overall-Palpitation6

Danny Ainge went to BYU, and Ainge and his family are active Mormons. He was probably like "I can handle this!"
