I was watching the timberwolves game and hearing giddey get boo’d on almost every single possession where he touched the ball made me think a bit. I would feel so horrible if he was innocent and he gets treated as a pedophile for the rest of his career.
Also, I realized that if the girl did indeed trick him into believing she was above 18, she will receive absolutely no legal consequence whatsoever despite potentially threatening a young man’s career, earnings, and reputation.
And based on the scant “evidence” everyone has seen, that’s exactly what it seems like happened. The girl lied, Josh got tricked, there’s no court case or police report, and as soon as Josh found out the truth he told the Thunder (apparently over a year ago), and that’s it.
In Presti we trust, remember? Josh wouldn’t be on the team right now if this was actually a problem.
