Receipts

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

Exhibit 01Negative.PHI flair
That's the story him and his team are telling. The other story is he was actually dating her since she was 15 and everybody in her high school knew she was dating Giddey. The store was broken by her friend speaking out because she thought it was weird. He also recorded videos for her brother etc. So I would fucking settle down with all these high horses defending the guy because I think that situation is more fucked then his PR team smoothed it out to be.

Exhibit 02Negative.HOU flair
I don't like Giddey all that much but the abomination of a haircut on that little entitled cuntrag tells me that he needs to have those glasses smacked off his face, that would get him all those precious clicks and views that he's after.

Exhibit 03Negative.no flair
This is what’s blowing my mind. She was 15-16 and Giddey was 21. 95% of commenters aren’t even discussing this and they’re softballing Giddey by saying he was 19 and she was 17. There may disagreements on whether this constitutes pedophilia or not (imo it def does), but can we at least discuss the facts instead of whatever copium is being talked about by most in this thread?
