The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[superblytrife]

If your kids were in 5th grade and had a coach that cursed during practice, would you (or your wife (their mother) have an issue with it?

Not at all. And we’ve already encountered that multiple times with my 2 older kids.

If they’re cursing AT them, as in calling them MFs and calling them out their name? Sure, I’d have an issue with it. But just cursing in the course of teaching a game? Absolutely don’t care at all. I’m not trying to shield my kids from the reality that most people casually curse.

I’ve seen more trash parents influence steer a kid than an athlete or entertainer. How you speak to your kid on a daily basis weighs heavier.

Saw a jit about 10 years old get cussed out by her mom at a birthday party . I’m not about to blame Glorilla either.

Facts. I don’t use profanity in front of my kid but she knows what it is. She hears people cussing and I tell
her we don’t talk like that.

She reminds me all the time she heard me say “hell nah” playing video games.

But yeah don’t cuss out my kid. Be careful, coach.

This is an even bigger issue. Seeing those types at events really makes me wish those types would get kicked out and banned from future events. It's DANGEROUS.

obviously parental behavior is more important

but its like littering, is one individual act of littering going to really negatively impact the quality of life in a city? no.

but if everyone litters then it can.

so therefore we socially discourage littering.


im not saying Lamelo is going to cause an outbreak of go karting on rooftops cursing impolite children.

its just a individual antisocial act that should be discouraged.

 

[lawdog1]

Fake/straw-man argument that keeps coming up:

“OOOOOMMMGHHH aaaarrrgggh Melo ball cussed on TV…it is worst thing everrrrrr….nnnnoooooo”.

Actual point being made:

“We think there are a number of valid reasons why it would be preferable for very influential pro athletes not to curse during live TV interviews.”

Thanks for your attention.

It’s not professional at all but again, the home life and in turn the kids your kids roll with have a far greater influence. If lamelo doesn’t cuss, there’s still iPhone 16 innuendo commercial, the political ads, the gambling/alcohol/STD commercials

These had me dying . It’s still BBB all day. Hope shorty matures.

not that its any better, but im pretty sure these are at a gas station in chino hills
my family and friends still live out there and they see him hanging out there in the off season pretty often

 

[Maximus Meridius]

What kind of response is this?

Do you think anyone believes if Melo stopped cursing that cursing would be eradicated or something?

So why are you bringing up kids?

And shout out nick. getting his alone rep off

All of those items occurred on that same broadcast Lamelo cursed on but

gambling, alcohol, sexual ads are ok for kids to see we just draw the line at the 23 year old dropping a curse word and saying gang.

 

[frshstunna]

4real tho I get the overall point in conducting yourself in certain ways and setting good examples, it’s an important part of life

But some things really not that serious, and Lamelo talking for 30 secs off emotion after a big W falls into that category imo…Kids woulda heard the same or worse 30 times by the time of his post game interview

Who in here said this?

It's okay to have a discussion about A without invoking B.

 

[WASHED KING]

In conclusion. Raise your kids.

It's literally no ones responsibility at the end of the day but the parents. Stop making excuses for your child's behavior and look in the mirror at your incompetence as a parent.

It's not an NBA players job, it's not a rappers job, it's not a streamers job. Time for parents to be parents again and stop giving kids Iphones and Ipads and then looking at everyone else for their seeds degeneracy.

BE A PARENT.
