    Realized he never disclosed his biological real dad....Marcus Green is his step dad and gave him his surname.

    Could explain why he has to get recognition from rando women and college boy Christopher.

    I recall Slim Thug trying to recruit Dwight to Houston from the Lakers in 2013 and he tweeted about how Texas child support is beneficial. I just looked it up, and Texas caps child support at just $2300 per child per month for two kids, this is nothing lol. So he is super lucky he is in Houston. For example if he were in California there is no cap on child support and a judge would decide based on his income, and he could end up paying millions a year. Over the course of 18 years for both kids combined he will pay less than a million dollars in Texas (or $27.6K a year per child), and this is likely a reduction to his income and tax deductible so after the tax benefit he is only losing like $500K over the course of of their life (or $14K per year per child), that is if he chooses not to support them beyond what he is legally liable for. It really is unbelievable that he essentially has discounted child care in the form of child support, a nanny in NY or CA would cost much more.

    I think this could be why so many NBA players use to make Houston home, because they use to have a lot of kids and weren't getting the kind of money players do now. Realistically the finanial impact should not even be a concern for Jalen. He would make $200M+ even as a role player in the NBA in total career earnings the way players get paid now, plus hes got sponsors like Adidas and Google too, if he is a border line all star he will make $500M+. He would need to have like 300 kids before he begins to feel the financial impact on his rookie contract.

    Maybe he is not that dumb, getting married would be dumb, but he can have as many kids as he wants and will save money on childcare by not getting married.

    The women or girls he interacted with are not marriage material therefore it sorted itself out automatically.

    For players a marriage without children would have been the best, like finding someone at old age.

    You have to be the dumbest athlete in the world to date that girl. When they can list the athletes you've dated that's a massive no

    Dropped Bryce Young like a sack of hot potatoes as soon as it was clear he was a major bust and moved on to the next financial prospect she will try to be impregnated by for massive dough.

    Would it matter if the mother got the case moved to another state, or lived in another state, meaning the case wouldn't be held in Texas?

    Not sure, i assume as long as he is able to prove his residence in Texas he should be fine, if he got traded or signed elsewhere then it could be reevaluated. I can see him keeping a home in texas and just saying this is still his home, I think it could vary state to state.

    I just don't get the appeal of being the 19th dude ol' girl has gone through. It seems like the only way to avoid this is either go the LeBron James/Gordon Hayward route and marry your high school sweetheart or go the Harden route and run through hoes while taking every precaution to not sire b*stard children.

    The type of guys that would be okay with dating the same whores that have been with hundreds of other athletes are probably the type of guys that would have had a lot of fun at Puff Daddy parties passing around Justin Bieber like Odell Beckham Jr did.

    It smells like Cheetos stains and cigarette butts in empty monster energy cans in this thread.
