This is a true story, most of you know I don't tolerate bull**** and for those that met me, I'm a big guy, I used to get in a lot of fights as a young, dumb man

I had a former boss, an old dude with a wife and kids, and he said I was pretty and he'd like to **** me. What am I going to do there, pull a spreewell and end up on the six o'clock news?

Now put yourself in this women's shoes. How hard do you think it is, on a personal level, to work in groupie central aka the NBA. Do you remember Patrick Ewings Atlanta jiggle joint testimony? Or see how James Harden blows his cash?

Bottom line is there's a bunch of bull**** women would have to deal with in basketball. She can consent, true, but he certainly abused his position of power. I think it's absurd

I will say this. I agree that he should not have had sex with a staff member, especially with him being married (to f..king Nia Long of all people, I mean how stupid can you be to get caught cheating on such a beautiful woman) but I do feel like these women play victim too quick. You are a grown woman who has probably been rejecting guys your whole life. If he steps to you, just politely tell him no and let that be the end of it and he should let that be the end of it. These women want to be treated as equals but the second they submit to having sex, the guy is the predator and the woman is the victim. She knew he was married. As far as we know, she was flirting with him. Should he be suspended? Yes, if for nothing else, cheating on Nia fricking Long, but I would not fire him or suspend him for a year.

the bold makes him literally the dumbest person in NBA history

They never married. I won't get on him too much for that because for all we know, they might have had an open relationship. I think what makes him dumb is that he was willing to risk his job, one of the most converted of the 30 that exist in the world, for some tang. That is on some Derek Fisher levels of irresponsibility.

Long, 51, and Udoka, 45, were first linked in 2010 and have a son together.

Long supported Udoka during the Celtics’ playoff push in late May, which included an NBA Finals appearance against the Warriors. The pair, however, is said to “have been separated” prior to recent events, according to Brandon Robinson of Bally Sports.

I get the fact that famous folks can be at risk in the public. But I thought they had versions for this?

Lucky with have Thibbs, who is married to basketball and he would never cheat on her.

So he is indeed gone for a year if not for good. All I would really care about is if this helps the Knicks in any way? I doubt it. Thinking of when Kerr had to step away - excellent teams should find their way. Don’t see the Celts collapsing from this.

I've seen co-workers get fired for less... There's a reason they say never crap where you eat.

I can understand if it was not consensual of course or the girl was not of age---I means something pretty bad---but a consensual relationship between adults? What the heck---I do not agree at all. Its blasphemy if true and whether it was warned or even signed into something of a pledge---a relationship that is consensual whoever the parties--should be a reasonable act of rights --to be severely punished is insane.

This is why you ask yourself what you don't know. On the surface seemed silly. Teams don't usually do insane **** like this without provocation.

For all we know maybe Nia was too having an affair? We don't know.
But like I said, Consensual can turn to something else and thus its why employers have rules. You may not agree with them but if you sign a contract you for sure accept them.

This is going to be a big deal if it ever becomes public.

Maybe let's wait out the details before waiving the minimum quality-of-character requirements?

In the mean time, I guess we'll have to do with the guy one year removed from COY.

Coaches do not get suspended for consensual relationships. Those can be addressed privately and dealt with directly. This smells like there was more than meets the eye and that the female involved was possibly going to either go public or get an attorney regarding the situation.

But let's stay focused! Is Obi getting more minutes??

Sometimes it just comes down to one question. Are you gonna get in the truck or not?
