    You really come across as a VERY judgemental person. You literally know nothing about their life other than their social media posts and you're making these huge sweeping statements. Reeks of jealousy.

    I guess most men who become fathers and still kill it at their jobs are much older than 22 and don't have millions of dollars to spend, not to mention that their babies' mamas and their relationships don't get to be shared to millions of people on social media.

    I think most men think it is great to be a father, but it is better to be a "Dad" - and there is no way him spreading his seed to 3 different women in one year bodes well for him being a "Dad" more like him being a sperm donar who is going to be a piggy bank for these women for 18 years - hopefully those women save, because he won't be in the league for 18 more years, and the kids will be the ones to suffer.

    Men need a "Pill" something fierce to stop this predatory behavior by some women....and/or not be STUPID enough to fall for it.

    Honestly, this makes Jalen look like a gullible DUMBASS.....and that means it is unlikely that he is ever going to be a great player because he is not all that bright, it seems.

    ANT isn't locked in on every play like Jordan but he has certainly started to embrace a defensive identity that was inconsistent earlier in his career...but it's important to note that in a game of very large men, ANT has a significantly larger wingpsan than Jalen AND is 40lbs heavier. Effectively they aren't the same type of player at all so I don't understand why you even compare them. Ant is effectively a SF and is significantly heavier than the average NBA SF. Jalen as a SG at best. Comparing ANT to the average SG tells you the same thing comparing Jalen to ANT - the size difference has a material impact on what they would do in cases like this. No coach is going to let Jalen try to hold Jokic at the high post - but Ant as heavy enough he can at least try.

    ...I get the desire to poke at Jalen's defense(which is much improved by the way), but this is a stretch to say the least and just makes you look like you aren't really paying attention.

    Wait are there 3 women pregnant right now by Jalen? I’m not judging or criticizing just realizing how behind this news I must be. I thought it was the one lady

    I read some gossip about this a few weeks ago and posted it in a Jalen thread. The Jalen supporters dismissed it as either untrue or not important. At least one of these babies is already born and the rumor is that Jalen wasn't their for the birth (assuming he knew it was his). That's part of the reason people are bagging him about being a father (who won't be there for his kids). It's not just one kid, it's multiple.

    Two for sure, three possibly.

    First it was Draya. (Not literally first, maybe like third?)

    Then two other women came forward and said Jalen was the father of their babies.

    Yesterday, TMZ confirmed one of those other two (that Jalen was the father).

    From March: Two women claim they are having Jalen Green’s baby, along with Draya

    Yesterday: TMZ report

    Alleged baby mama

    Baby mama two (one confirmed by TMZ)

    All of his alleged baby mamas
    https://www.lipstickalley.com/threads/the-jalen-green-harem-tea-thread.5599907/


    All of this around the time he had his hot streak, babies were popping out/being made.

    “Hey Jalen, why are you playing out of your mind? What is motivating you?”

    Jalen: “My family. My baby.”

    Even the logistics. On that LeBron/JJ podcast, LeBron talked about family sacrifices. Between traveling, games, training, rest, and seeing his kids (at home), schedule is already tight. Even if managing his time well, his family don't get to see Bron much. Bron mentioned, you have to be a bit selfish ( career aspirations), for family to sacrifice.

    Picture Green's situation. Doubtful all the baby momma's live under the same roof, Green'll have to figure out how to split his time among the 2-3; new borns when he's not at the gym. Financial support is one thing, but the momma's (non Drayas) will have to manage the raising with a limited Green. Yea there are Nannies, but how involved does he want to be like changing diapera or just being around: house A, B, and C. These are things he'll have to deal with. Logistics. Are the other mamas bring their babies to Green/Draya's crib. He has to figure all that stuff out.

    Kids can motivate a player, but he'll have to manage his time better between working at the gym vs visiting the kids. This also assuming he learned his ways and maybe put a pause on the binge he was on.

    Green won't become Edward and Sengun won't become Jokic. That doesn't mean they can't become a better player than Edward and Jokic.

    How many baby mamas does Edwards have? Is he getting distracted by the legion of women carrying his seed?

    Well, they certainly can but it is tougher to best a Top 5 Player of the entire history in Jokic and Anthony Edwards might become a Top 13 Player of All Time himself.....

    How do you even top that?

    Outside the main squeeze, Edwards cuts a check on the side pieces. The lady with 'send da video', Edwards lawyered up. Offered money for an abortion.

    Edwards a good player, he also doesn't seem to care about the side momma's. He is who he is off the court.

    How much Green wants to be involved in the non Draya's babies lives.

    No. Ant is a far superior athlete and a better ball player.

    Isn't Ant like 6'3?

    I'm so glad NBA is making combine mandatory for all draftees. Should have been the case years ago.
