    Well a lot of those who were participating in that televised event were connected to film/tv movie production company networks

    So would that make them guilty or innocent of being crisis/stage show actors?

    That's an interesting interview. I come away liking Gil more and feeling super sorry for Zion. He's just not got much in the way of smarts, to hear him talk about his life and outlook. Kind of sounds like a country bumpkin from the mid-20th century or something. No wonder a crazy woman got her claws into him (whether or not there was any violence -- have no idea, but she's not some reliable narrator. Sigh.

    The NBA needs to re-examine their incoming trainings for young athletes. And what the ****, Duke. This is your guy; did you even stay in touch with him, teach him to eat, anything?

    I know the responsibility is Zion's, but it seems like a lot of people who could have helped him just stayed on the sidelines, (or maybe he actively ignored them). Anyway, I don't like his odds of salvaging a career of note, but happy to be wrong.

    Agree that all young players need a handler/mentor. It would be wise to work that into the rookie contracts and pay retired player’s association members to do the job. That way the mentor isn’t team assigned and can relate to the young player.

    I think I like this but not sure about that last sentence. Retired players as mentors sounds great, and some of them actually need the income. These kids need someone with a decreased testosterone level talking to them.

    Five stages of crazy b**** grief:
    • Face tattoo
    • Pregnancy claims
    • Abuse claims
    • Murder threats
    • Rebound with ex-con

    Thanks. It’s super important given how a lot of these kids come from broken homes.

    What about the last part don’t you like?

    grammar? :D I meant this sentence: "It would be wise to work that I got the rookie contracts and pay retired player’s association members to do the job."

    Some set Zion up the bomb!

    Some things are not worth doing to get that net worth imo. Also, she seems to be thirsting for a lot more than just 4.5 million.

    If Zion didn’t get blessed with otherworldly athleticism he’d probably be having the time of his life working as a line cook somewhere.

    Wow!
    I’m morbidly curious to see Zion going at Chet Holmgren. There is a distinct possibility that Chet may just break in half.
