When our team was getting him, there was a legion of us who were against it in the signing threads. At the time, my worst fear; after reading on the Ohio gun charge, was if he felt disrespected in the locker room, he was going to bring it into the Toyota Center and do something stupid. When the Rockets halftime incident happened, part of me was happy he drove off; because he had the wits about him to remove himself from the situation. Driving away may have been the better decision. In the hotel incident with Kysre, that didn't happen. He didn't leave to cool off, but engaged. KPJ should get help, Rockets is not the place to help him. If anything playing on an NBA team is high pressure. Why is he in a bad mood over summer vacation? Maybe he saw the writing on the wall; with FVV and Brooks signed, he knows he's losing his starter spot. After he leaves the Rockets, hope is maybe he can turn around and be good to the people that care about him. Financially speaking, he's still a millionaire. Go live a comfortable modest life. For the Rockets, all this are distractions. Org should be focusing preparing for the upcoming season. What's done is done; better take care of KPJ now then let it fester.
Come on man, read your bible. “For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.” To simplify, if you commit one sin, its the same as any other sin. However, laws and punishments deviated as time progressed but its all the same. Im not making this up, it is what it is. If KPJ ask for forgiveness now, he's forgiven but in the court of law, he has to accept whatever punishment comes his way.
I already told you he drove off from the dust up with John Lucas and sought a new relationship right after that. The one with Kysre......while he was having a relationship with DinaMaria Simone. It is really just one incident and starting a new relationship with that anger without properly ending the last one... That got him into a legal suit for dogs and money. It is not a crime like that one in NY but it was emotionally messed up and a precursor for things to come! Maybe his potentially toxic relationship with her gets out, maybe not.
Not sure why you're quoting me directly, since you and I didn't talk about KPJ's ex GF directly. I saw you posted a youtuber video essay on the ex gf few pages back. If that's your take on the chain of events, that's fine. As for the reasons of why KPJ is the way he is; who the heck knows. On the halftime thing, yes most of us were here LIVE that game; in the game thread. And the fallout of that game after New Years.
Please, I quoted you not out of malice.....it was just filling in the blanks. I am explaining you in what head space he was in. He had this fallout during the game, but basically he was dealing with a lot of things outside of it. This time it was not drug or gun possession, violence off the court. It was him dealing with relationships, also basically using women, the first signs of abusing people.... That is when most of the information are still missing. From his Denver Game incident - to Kysra relationship/him dealing with a law suit - road rage his car crashed hers - KPJ basically injured or held out of games - Body language - He kissing up to Ime during presser - The attack in New York. There is still alot of information missing but we can possibly picture his modus operandi gradually whether it is how he treated women, how he treated the organization and how he was enabled. Gradually.
No blanks were filled, as we know most of the 'reported' stuff already. Not every post means we have to recount the entire timeline. As I said in the original post, the gun thing was before he signed with the Rockets "signing thread". As in rockets signed KPJ and everyone here was weighing in. I stand by what I said that dude is not stable mentally, and has that been that way for a while. The flair ups are with him (flipping his suv) to the people in his personal life (ex-g, gf, the chicks and his sister had a fight with) and professional life (college, Cavs locker room, and later Rockets staff). He's not right in the head, and Rockets org is a basketball org, he needs to seek help from places that can give it to him. For the sake of the team; get him away from the current guys.
I am sure you are fed up with it, I am not. But I can tell you the Rockets are very much responsible for how they select players. And I am sure they are on their way drafting or trading for violent players again. 1. They did not learn anything. 2. They just look in the wrong places. I am more of an investigative guy so no harm done if you are not. It will happen again. Might as well establish a time line instead of just saying 'I told you so' because that would not improve your thoughts.....mental gymnastics. Especially 'I told you so's are not helping anyone! - That is how I deal with my rage (not in New York)
So at least I am digging up something. For all those sitting up on their high horse. Austin Rivers talked about Fool me 7th.....
A christian who follows the bible to letter will soon end up in jail or insane asylum. No one should use religion as a moral compass because religion is man-made but not seen as man-made by believers and thus its easily corrupted.
He didn't break her neck just beat the **** out of her. I know she is trying to get the bag, but this guy seems like a POS. I hope they find a way void the entire contract or just give it to her.
Don’t forget Tilman at the end of Udoka’s interview. “In my six years having this basketball team, there is no player I have enjoyed more talking to off the court (even during the game) than Kevin Porter Jr, sitting right here. I just want you all to know that, because I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t mean it.”
