The Thunder are playing really great this year. This will probably screw them up. Surely he has plenty to choose from, that are legal.

He must have been in motion when that picture was taken but it would be hilarious if his hair looked like that all the time.

he could have fucked me when I was 15 and I would have stayed quiet about it.

by Anonymousreply 4November 24, 2023 10:43 PM

I just looked him up.

He's Australian!

I didn't know they had the NBA down under.

This pic is my Black Friday gift to DL.

Btw, he only just turned 21 last month. How old is the girl and how old were both of them when the alleged incident took place?

Why can't girls keep this shit to themselves? But then again, straight guys are fools. Gays would have just enjoyed the conquest of snagging a hot 21 year old famous jock. This girl just had to boast.

Should have went for a gay.

Ironic, since he looks like a teenage girl.

He reminds me somewhat of Timmy, but also of Billy Crudup, both of whom I'd love to have within me, deeply. I doubt I would have been able to turn Josh down, even at age 15.

I was thinking 17 since he'd have a year cushion for the OK consent law (16), but she was 15. Goddamn stupid. Doesn't the NBA attempt to educate these guys about the legal messes they can step in as a young men with too much money for their age?

Hey gramps, it's the era of social media in which GenZers can only get self-respect by getting followers and " likes."

I get that a 15 year old craves adulation and validation on SM, but doesn't she understand that the state can prosecute him for statutory rape now that she's divulged this, even if her parents approve of their relationship? It's not like the 70s anymore. Stupid boy, stupid girl. Of course, she can say she made it all up for attention and there was no penetration. LE and officials will probaby believe it because they want a winning team.

Why should she care if he goes to jail? She is famous now in her circles. That's the only thing on her mind.

[QUOTE]Why should she care if he goes to jail?

Because she'll become the object of slurs and accusations, at best, and inevitable death threats, withdrawal from school, and family relocation due to harassment by fans who will blame her for ruining his life and, worse, jeopardizing the Thunder's playoff chances.

Oh god, this shit happened all the time in high school, I remember so many slut-cunts from 9-12th grade who were drooling to bang a college guy.

Yeah, I don't care. If a 19 year old fucks a 17 year old it's about the same thing.

R24, do you think she was thinking of the consequences when she posted all of the shit?

by Anonymousreply 27November 25, 2023 1:39 AM

At first, no, but she had plenty of time to think and take them down. Not one of her followers did a "You in danger gurl!"? I have a hard time thinking today's teens are *that* stupid. Then again, I don't have much exposure teens.

She looks older than 15 and he's about the right age to play a 15 year old on television.

Not anymore. They all want to be victims. They canā€™t wait to tell everyone their sob story on social media.

Nah. The so-called progressive left will call her a hero. Theyā€™re much more dangerous than any NBA fan. Sheā€™s white too.

[quote]They have the NBA everywhere! At least they're trying to.

Australia also has its own 10-team professional league (with one team in New Zealand), called the National Basketball League, which has grown in stature in recent years -- in terms of the quality/level of play & how it's perceived internationally. It's not on par with some of the European leagues, but it's well-regarded, probably one of the top five leagues globally (outside of the NBA).

The NBA currently prohibits players going directly from high school into the NBA draft -- they have to be one-year removed from high school. Instead of messing around with college (and all the NCAA's eligibility rules/regulations), several young American-born players in recent years have elected in to play in the NBL for a year until eligible for the NBA draft. The most notable is LaMelo Ball, All-Star guard for the Charlotte Hornets. He enjoyed his year in Australia with the Ilawarra Hawks so much, he made a serious bid to buy the team in 2020 (but it fell through).

Half of the girls in my high school were banging college-aged dudes. Iā€™m finding it difficult to be outraged by this.

The legal age for consent in Ok is 16

Oh my

But I was still correct :-)

by Anonymousreply 45November 27, 2023 5:35 PM

She may be 15 but itā€™s not clear from the reporting. 15 or 16 seems to be the most popular choices. But if I read it correctly her ā€œ friendā€ who leaked this claimed it was a 17 yo friend he had fucked.

The girl in question is Australian with quite a resume of her own.

by Anonymousreply 46November 27, 2023 6:02 PM

The gal in question & her family live in Newport Beach, CA. (Perhaps they're from Australia originally, I don't know??) She & her parents have been reluctant to cooperate with NBPD investigators thus far...and now have hired Gloria Allred to represent her. (!!) Supposedly, the "relationship" took place two years ago, when Josh was 19 years-old...and she claimed to be 17 (but was younger). Regardless....the really noteworthy thing, here, is that Gloria Allred is now repping the girl. Josh, your bank account is danger, gurl!

Well, this pretty much changes everything, including age revisions.

What is the age of consent if it happened in CA and not OK?

by Anonymousreply 49December 3, 2023 9:31 AM

R49 Age of consent is 18 in California with Romeo and Juliette exception (within 2 years of the others age).

by Anonymousreply 50December 3, 2023 10:15 AM

There is no Romeo & Juliet exception in CA law.

R51 You are right! I had always heard that there was and I've lived here most of my life. Quite frankly that is ridiculous. So many boys I knew turned 18 before their girlfriends did. I bet they didn't realize they were "raping" them.
