Receipts

What the room said about Jaden Ivey, verbatim: the highest-scoring comments in each class.

Exhibit 01Negative.BOS flair
Not just the Bulls cutting ties, woof: "Earlier Tuesday during another livestream on Instagram, Ivey said his wife and family have recently stopped communicating with him."
Post · [Lorenzi] Jaden Ivey reportedly told the Bulls’ head of player performance on March 25 that Jesus healed his knee and he was ready to play, He underwent an MRI the next day, and Chicago shut him down for the season.▲ 574Apr 1, 2026Source ↗
Exhibit 02Negative.CHI flair
Jaden Ivey looked so cooked that he went from 30+ MPG to DNP-CD after 4 games on the team, gave a post-game interview where he said "The old Jaden is dead and basketball is temporary but Jesus is eternal," and then got shut down for knee problems that predated the trade.
Post · Rob Dillingham as a Chicago Bull: 6.4/3/3 on 35/21/78 shooting splits▲ 71Mar 11, 2026Source ↗
Exhibit 03Negative.DET flair
That video of Ivey saying his wife isn't even talking to him right now speaks volumes to how much damage JI's doing to his family. The guy in the background of that video whispering not to talk about it seems to know Ivey's relationship with his family isn't well. I don't condone his actions or his beliefs, but it's devastating to see someone just radicalizing themselves and pushing everyone else away.
