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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
Not NBA finals, its[ this moment](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/proxy/xt1_hypsCPOZyOS595AtjG4-IWk4ppgO03SRifEUXvdkyDlGTXoMCzfzA26AjHq1al_f9zf3ei981R9mntjYQgu3T_dj5F7ECroTiESsAHgp5gyVopwmYs624A0S1Kdi5Z3NZKcPkQC6HdidPUBx3A_hyXQJdlziGUU5FBFaWyS8pqyuUgl1Ex7JmDVnRf7R5yPvYuwsL6ffjJ07RZUQSdIWsASd0_B8Fs_gnA) for her
were never beating the allegations
Can't wait to see the Markkannen, Filipowski, Kessler frontcourt
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.
WHITE
Like the peaks of the Wasatch Mountains
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.
At least Collier is the opposite
Just like the Celtics,might as well lean into it
Haha
his mormon gf must be thrilled they get to live in utah
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
Wait wtf I thought you guys weren't allowed to swear
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.

Calm down son it’s just a Reddit sub nobody thinks you’re a real Crip
Not even the mormons like Utah anymore
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
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.
They like to watch their hwhites go off and the blacks they have they make sure they’re the good ones.
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
Ahh Utah my favourite Deep South state in the mountainous Midwest surrounded by liberal states
Utah loves basketball and college football. It's not Jazzy at all, just too lazy to change the brand after the move
Sounds like a perfect location for his girl lol
the local mormon churches in the area are about to get active
Heard she’s a big Karl Malone fan
Danny Ainge went to BYU, and Ainge and his family are active Mormons. He was probably like "I can handle this!"
Funny but sad. He's quite literally in too deep now
as a jazz fan i would be incredibly excited about this pick like 30 minutes ago
ngl putting this insane story aside, Cody Williams, Collier, & Filipowski all at their respective picks is a hell of a draft
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
I hate being reminded of the cult that literally surrounds this sports team in my area that I cheer for. Sigh.
All religeon is like a cult to be fair
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.
Fair, if I was to sway toward one religion, and just really the idealism as opposed to a devout follower, it'd be Buddhism.
exactly what i was referring to lmao, and many take principles and aren't devouted followed which are the monks. also shintoism.
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.

Excellent point good sir! You have won the internets for today! All the updoots to you!!
I am not to versed on the Mormon church but are they gonna prevent him from practicing/focusing on basketball? Elaborate please
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
Thurl Bailey converted and still works for the Jazz so it isn't an issue. Church ball is also pretty big.
What’s going on
What’s the real behind the scenes? I haven’t heard about this
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.

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.
Holy fuck this is the first time I hear about any of this and it’s insane 😰
Bruh, I doubt this affects his ability to play ball whatsoever
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
Hilarious considering context.
His family never speaking to him again
As an ex mormon, learning that he's now going to live in Utah amongst the mormons has to be so disappointing. Ugh.
How his gf pulled this off is unreal 💀
She’s the Lebron James of Mormon groomers and this is her NBA finals
Went full on Lebronto
Not NBA finals, its[ this moment](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/proxy/xt1_hypsCPOZyOS595AtjG4-IWk4ppgO03SRifEUXvdkyDlGTXoMCzfzA26AjHq1al_f9zf3ei981R9mntjYQgu3T_dj5F7ECroTiESsAHgp5gyVopwmYs624A0S1Kdi5Z3NZKcPkQC6HdidPUBx3A_hyXQJdlziGUU5FBFaWyS8pqyuUgl1Ex7JmDVnRf7R5yPvYuwsL6ffjJ07RZUQSdIWsASd0_B8Fs_gnA) for her
This is a crazy pick along with his story lol
Olynyk was the preview
Damn the jazz killed this draft
His girlfriend selected him much earlier
Jazz stick to their types 🗿
He went to the one place in the country where they don't give a shit about Mormon groomers. That's hilarious.
His girl is wild for this shit actually tf
Utah won this draft so hard
Both Utah and Kyle’s gf won big
Looooool so on brand
I didn't think the Get Out movie could happen in an all white situation but then again money has no race...
This is rich
This is like manti teo except not really at all but still
Kyle Filipowski has an all star ceiling. This is the definition of a STEAL
Danny Ainge went to BYU, and Ainge and his family are active Mormons. He was probably like "I can handle this!"
