Jaden Ivey on Instagram live saying he doubts an NBA team will sign him again
How are you gonna get fired on your day off, Craig!
Every time I’m in the kitchen, you in the god damn kitchen
Eatin’ up aaaaall the food. Aaaaall the chitlins… Aaaaall the pigs’ feet… Aaall the collard greens… Aaall the hog maws. I wanna eat them chitlins!… I like pigs’ feeeeeet!!!!
You better pour some water on that shit son!
You know how many stinking dogs I gotta catch… to fill that big ass bowl you got there, boy? Forty-five, 50 dogs.
In the GOT DAMN refrigerator!
What the fuck you doing stealin boxes for? What, you trying to build a clubhouse?
lmfaooooooo I need to rewatch that
Have you ever had government cheese? Craig, government cheese, you had some? Big stinking government cheese. Couldn’t take a dump for two weeks! Eat it on the 4th of July, by the 18th, everybody in the whole neighborhood trying to get to the bathrooms…
T-wolves trade?
Sorry I’m a casual. Am I reading this right? The Bulls traded their lottery pick & 2 players for a likely bottom 4 pick and two players that have already been cut from the team? Do I have that correct?
They say they got him on tape stealing crosses.
Well at least thats the only right thing he said over the past 24 hours
He needs to be put on a 5150, dudes having either a religious psychotic break or a schizo-affective one
A 5150?
code for involuntary mental health commitment if ur a danger to urself or others
it definitely will not happen unless something crazy happens, the bar is very high
That term is specific to California just fyi. For example in Nevada, it’s called an L2K or legal 2000, and in Texas, a similar hold is called an ED or emergency detention.
In Florida it’s the Baker Act. Fun facts tonight!
oh i’m from texas and i didn’t know that lol i guess ive only ever heard about it on tv, and its always called a 5150
Got it, never heard that code before. Learn something new every day 🤔
involuntary psychiatric hold
Enes Kanter and Jaden Ivey about to be lighting up VFW Halls with Real American Basketball any week now
with Jonathan Isaac and AJ Griffin they just need a guard to make a squad
Royce White is opting out as he doesn’t trust Jaden and his use of those giant, terrifying, metal birds
NBA Legend Enes Kanter*
*Enes Freedom Kanter
TPUSA is lining this man up as we speak
Don’t they already have Jonathan Isaac?
There are plenty of players with controversial views of some sort (Anthony Edwards, Kyrie, Deni Avdija)
The issue Mr. Ivey is that you can’t get away with this if you suck lmao he’s not worth the trouble
Catch me up. What did Antman said? And that new guy?
He recorded a video of some gay people going into like a club or something and said something like “look at these queers I gotta put up with man”
I can’t remember if that’s the exact quote or not, but it was along those lines.
He also deleted quickly, apologized and paid a fine. It wasn’t a multi-hour mental health crisis.
I’m not sure if being in full control of your faculties while posting pejoratives about vulnerable minorities, who are simply minding their own business, actually makes it all that much better tbh.
Not to keep harping on him or anything, just clarifying the situation is all. I don’t know him like that to know if the apology was really genuine or not, so I guess I’ll treat it like it is until proven otherwise.
I think in a business where people are likely to put cameras in your face, it’s better to be in control enough of your faculties to know to stop. Like, the original Ivey comments were a while ago in media-time, plenty of time for the Bulls and his agent to reach out and tell him to stop. I doubt waiving him was their first course of action.
He was also like 19 or 20 when it happened, so keep that in mind. If I were persecuted for the stupid shit I said when were that age I’d be dumpster diving for all my food and selling my ass for a place to sleep.
Sure, but let’s be honest with ourselves. Ant could have this exact meltdown word for word and it wouldn’t be the end of the line for him. Fine, suspension, etc., but he wouldn’t go anywhere
Probably not, no. But he’d be suspended until he made the required I’m-sorry gestures.
He’d be given a few games off and we’d be told he’s seeing a therapist (like Draymond’s anger management lol)
lmao, and do you think Ant did all that willingly?
I think he had both the carrot and the stick accurately explained to him by his agent and the management of his team, and made the correct business decision. That said, Chris Hine, an openly-gay Wolves beat writer, took his apology at face value, said he never had a problem with Ant and ultimately wrote an authorized biography. So at some level I think there was a genuine maturing, yes.
Even if he was an average starter or like a good bench guy, you could get away with saying LGBTQ isn’t righteous. He is just dogshit so any controversy and he is gone
He didn’t say that LGBTQ wasn’t righteous. He proclaimed it.
Anthony Edwards: Homophobic
Kyrie: Insanely anti-semitic, just all around crazy
Deni: Jewish
and no surprise, reddit hates Deni the most
Bro just said Deni is unpopular because he’s Jewish, not even correcting it to Israeli lol, then above calls out kyrie for being antisemitic. Lol fuck people on Reddit are dumb af. Double standards all day.
He openly supported their genocide in Gaza and said we didn’t know anything and that he knew best. He also volunteered for the IDF when he was exempt from it
Jesus Christ try to be a bit more disingenuous
Deni supports genocide so there is that
And Biggie was fat
Yeah I’m worried that instead of introspecting and growing from this, he might just be getting defensive and self victimizing. Hopefully time will change that though, cuz I still want the best for the guy.
Lol what did Deni say?
How dare Deni be Jewish
That’s just disrespectful to all the Jewish people who are not supporting a genocide like Deni does. All the human beings with empathy
Stop equating being Jewish with being a Zionist ffs, you’re just playing into the nazi anti-semitic freaks, who are using the just cause of Palestinian liberation to spread their hate and inhuman propaganda.
Deni said that people who are vocally against the genocide are “not educated” in the Middle East or its history. From that point on, it’s clear he’s an apologist for the genocide and earns all the hate he gets, there’s no defending that bullshit.
What did Ant say?
Ant also made a homophobic video where he filmed people and called them gay slurs
Damn
that’s pretty mild compared to this. sort of standard homophobic dumbass-ery.
Jesus will carry you to the Shanghai Sharks
They don’t want his bitch ass.
Chinese are very non-religious
Man… why would you even do something like that? It’s not even about whether the opinion is right or wrong, it’s just way too controversial to be saying publicly, especially when you’re in the NBA, the company that you are WORKING for, the NBA openly supports LGBTQ inclusion (Pride Nights, campaigns, etc.) And the Bulls organization has employees, fans, and players from those communities… Like that’d ruin the team image as well, sponsors, locker room, everything. Plus he barely played for them, so it’s not like they had a big reason to deal with it. Still though… throwing away your spot in the league over something like that is just tough to see. Hoping the best for him.
he appears to be severely mentally ill. even if someone held these views in the league, they would at least have a sense of self preservation. something like ant being homophobic was revealed only because he clearly lacked understanding and figured it wasn’t a big deal to clown on visibly queer presenting people. that’s kind of an in the moment mistake, and fairly easy to course correct because it looks like pure ignorance.
however, when you’re having a manic episode like this, you’ve kinda resolved that you will just say whatever comes to mind in a concerted effort to see how bad it can get. mix in doomsday cult religious views and you get this. it’s very concerning.
I think it’s clear he’s not in his right mind right now.
He’s clearly in a manic phase
Wtf have we come to that people can write entire paragraphs judging off 10 seconds of information, but not spot someone going through a mental episode
Seeing a lot of people commenting on here who you would not want to be friends with if you suffer from any mental health issues
Yeah it’s unbelievably obvious this guy isn’t in his right mind rn. Idk if he’s bipolar or on some crazy drugs or what but this is not normal. I heard he had some traumatic shit happen to him when he was a kid so maybe something triggered this state he’s in or what but gotta get the cheap jokes in for internet points I guess.
Classic victim mentality of the modern day Christian nationalist? Desperately wants to create a situation where they can feel persecuted?
To be honest, I don’t think he’s doing well mentally. I’m not joking; I really think he’s experiencing a mental health episode.
He’s in a low spot man, you do dumb shit when you are low
why would you even do something like that?
People don’t usually have a mental breakdown on purpose.
Idk if you’ve been a fan long enough to remember Keyon Dooling but when this same type of shit happened with him it was repressed trauma from being sexually abused as a child:

I have no idea what Ivey is going with Ivey but he is clearly unwell
Maybe stop doing IG Live
He shouldn’t be on a plane
Move over Jonathan Isaac, God has a new strongest soldier
I mean Jonathan Isaac is just a shitty dude, this guy is clearly having a breakdown but because his breakdown is based around Jesus he’s got a bunch of strangers egging him on and telling him he’s right.
What makes Jonathan Isaac a shitty dude?
Yeah probably not this dude is unhinged
Oh Jesus, another persecuted christian. Must be hard having a church on every corner. So oppressed.
I get that this dude might be having a mental episode, but that doesn’t excuse what he’s saying. He’s using his faith as a shield from accountability, and he clearly has bigoted views. So now, he’s gonna play the victim card, spread his views on platforms looking to get as many clicks as possible, and lie low for a long while. May he get help if he needs it, but also, the consequences of bigotry are gonna come in full force. That’s on him, mental health issue or not.
I can’t imagine what it’s like for this guy’s agent rn
Gotta be tough for his mom rn too. Coming off a fairly unexpected Elite Eight run and your son, who seems to be unwell, gets fired the day after you lose. If that’s not enough, he’s spouting anti-LBGTQ and anti-Catholic comments while you (and your partially LGBTQ staff) are trying to recruit women’s basketball players to Notre Dame 😅😅😅😅😅😅
Wait that coach is his mom????? I was just watching her post game interview WTFFFFFFFF
Yup, he’s talked about how being around those ND players (Skylar Diggins, Arike Ogunbowale, Jackie Young, etc.—many of them being LGBT ironically) growing up really helped him grow and develop his game…but I guess he’s thrown those sentiments and relationships out the window.
hey he finally got something right
rightfully so, you idiot
Immanuel Quickley is super religious and plays CTE ball every other day, the thing is he isn’t homophobic and spewing hate. But again, I feel bad for Jaden, dude doesn’t look right mentally.
How do you know he’s not, a ton of athletes likely agree with what Iveys saying they just want to keep their money
I should’ve clarified “outwardly”
I’m a fairly big advocate of free speech, but if you say hateful things that potentially create a toxic environment within your organization and embarrass the team, and you aren’t actually playing very well and were kind of on the bubble anyway, you are just giving teams an excuse to let you go and not sign you.
I mean this literally is not a free speech issue in the slightest
Free speech is the right to say whatever you want not freedom from consequences of said speech.
Nobody who describes themselves as a free speech advocate understands what free speech means, it’s a law of the universe
free speech = the government can’t persecute you for what you say.
it doesn’t mean you can say whatever you want and suffer no consequences.
People always forget it’s free speech from the government. This ain’t the government.
The irony is these types of radical over the top religious zealots are always the biggest pieces of shit behind the scenes, guaranteed.
It’s either that, or he has a serious case of undiagnosed bipolar disorder and is having a manic episode.
Adam Silver: “New idea for All Star Weekend! Christians vs LBGTQ+”
Starlink doing work
Smartest thing he’s said all day
I blame this all on cole anthony
Which team would wanna deal with this headcase
Too religious for my team that has a prayer before every game for some reason.
Someone commented on one of his posts saying that they were wishing him well and praying for him. Jaden told them that God didn’t hear their prayers because the commenter was a sinner. Too far gone on the religious spectrum
Honestly if he said sorry and said he needs help/work on improving himself (something like that) he probably could get another opportunity. That’s the smart thing to do so I doubt he does it.
The DeVos family would welcome him. The Magic has paid Jonathan Isaac about $19,000 per minute and the guy is an ordained minister with his own faith-based shoe brand. “Too religious” will get you paid in Orlando.
I really hope this is just an episode, he seemed like a genuine guy before when talking about Christianity but this is insane
The good news is TPUSA has invited him to perform in their next Super Bowl halftime show!
Smh seek help
This subs all about virtue signaling for mental health but ready to clown someone having an episode
The guys clearly not right, don’t have to pity him but making jokes is pretty low
Makes sense why the thread about him from last year talking about his abuse history and issues is not trending but these clips are
I don’t think all of them are making jokes about him. I think some are genuinely concerned about his well-being if anything. It’s clear as day that he’s going through a mental health episode and I really hope he gets the help he needs.
Some might say conduct detrimental to the team 😂
something something broken clock…
He’s probably right lmao
He might be done in the league, but with views like this he might have a future as a US Senator
Well, yea.
How could they kick you out if you weren’t there?!
hes too religious
Generational dumbass.
Someone should take his phone away
Too religious or too bigoted and stupid?
This guy just needs a hug…or maybe a kiss…from a man🤷🏾♂️
Fox News calling has agent right meow
Dude is delontewesting
He’ll be at CPAC tomorrow
Plenty of religious players not getting kicked out for being a confrontational ass.
The irony is that if Jesus was alive today, he would love gay people.
Enjoy your McDonald’s cashier job buddy
Bold of you to assume he knows how to do that( he doesn’t need to anyway he has millions in the bank lol).
Millions in the bank given to a dumbass will last like 1 year tops my man
His mom is a high profile head coach for ND women’s basketball.
Get ready to learn McDonald’s buddy
Ivey has already made enough money to never work another day in his life…
This is exactly how you keep that from happening. Sorry for the kid… this ain’t the way
They kick me out ? Bro what did you do ? We’re all trying to find the guy who did this.
Too religious ? WTF ?
I hope he really get the help he need.
I doubt he’s wrong.
Can’t be ass on the court and a donkey off it.
If he just keeps his mouth shut he can do a turn around like Kyrie did. Kyrie had some very questionable views but after leaving the nets he pretty kept most of it to himself and we all love him in Dallas.
*Proclaiming
He’s inching towards getting a feature on BULLY
Apparently he’s doing his best to live up to his username.
You’re not too religious. You’re a bigot and you’re not good enough. No team is taking a chance to rehab the image of a low level player when there’s plenty of talent out there.
His agent must be dying right now. Dude is nuking the rest of his career
I hope he gets the help he needs
I doubt it too
Get help! You have Kanye brain
Boiler down bad
Is it really hard for people to not be complete dickheads? Like you would lose absolutely nothing if you mind your damn business which is basketball.
This guy is clearly going thru a mental crises and doesn’t have the proper support system around him. Sad situation to see escalate
Charlotte seems to have low standards
Legendary crash out. I hope this brother finds help
Cooked
Not with that attitude
Thank god we didn’t get to draft him. He is mentally unstable
I wonder who’s fault that is!
It is a long shot: 1) he peaked in college, 2) he proved that he cannot add value unless completely healthy - his super power was his burst and being stronger than others at his position in college and earlier, 3) low bbiq, 4) biggest of all - cannot trust this man at all doubling, tripling and quadrupling down on publicly dropping his bag as he proclaims his faith in his religion (but not yours), in a way which makes him a liability for the league and any team.
Glad the Pistons got rid of him before this, wish Pistones could re-do that #5 pick, at least Pistons got #11 pick Jalen Duren, via trade, in that same draft.
Bro knows his life long dream of being star in the NBA was never going to happen.
Ironically the pride of not being good or not being a hard worker has him mentally breaking down.
UnIronically he’s doing what a lot of Christians do. They take advantage of their faith to help themselves.
He need not have that doubt.
Well, he was finally right on something; at least at this point, it isn’t likely he’ll be signed to an NBA team again.
At least he’s self aware
Who’s gonna tell him there’s nobody in the sky governing his journey?
Hope you saved that check
I mean… YEAH, NO SHIT.
Reddit is pretty cringe for pretending like this dude is preaching from outer space or some shit. We all know he follows one of the popular western religions. Like whoopie, how nutso
Your not religious your a psycho
he look really special stupid
he prays just one too many times
Finally something that I agree with him on.
“Too religious.”
Someone needs to get him some help. He got some suicidal tendencies
He has a funny way of pronouncing bigoted
I feel bad for Jaden Ivey
Guess I can throw out these rookie cards now.
Good
Cte has entered basketball
Gives me Joker
He’s correct
Well at least he knows his future
Coulda shutthefuck up and rebab but chose to proclaim and fuckup
May he never play another game in the NBA or elsewhere ever again.
Man really nuked his career just like that
Has he tried the Bulls? They have a pedophile on their team.
I wonder why?
man imagine doing this in united business first
There’s hella religious nba players some performatively so and some really deep in it. They all in the nba. You got kicked out for being a homophobe not for being religious. If being religious made you a homophobe then something wrong with that religion.
Headline tomorrow “ The Daily Wire signs Jaden Ivey”
Generational bag fumble
Athletes acting like this is wild lol it’s a business, you make your company look bad your fired but for athletes it’s like damn wtf I did nothing wrong? Only the superstars can make you look bad and get away with it
Did he proclaim it?
man just shut up and play ball that’s all they want
Dude you’ve been a mid player since you left purdue. Don’t make it about the faith. You didn’t put in the work, saw your mates pulling ahead and felt a lot of guilt, shame, and resentment. You then turned to God as a cope. It made you feel like you had something no one else had and that you were better than them. That’s why everybody is in your mouth and why you are calling out people sins. You could have made videos called “why I love Jesus and how Jesus saved me”, could have even read your favorite Bible verese and it would have been a blessing to the people of the faith, and the NBA would not have cared. Instead because of your unresolved issues you have chosen the path of the fake matyr persecuted for his faith. Here’s a news flash for you, there are 7000 who have not bent their knees to Baal. You may know what that means or you may not. Bottom line is, they’re all dunking this weekend while you sit in timeout at home.
it’s not because you’re too religious gng
The two mfs on the plane beside him must think this is some sort of fever dream lmao. You’re on a plane to wherever n this 6’3 mf is over here crashing out on ig live.
So he’s also saying there’s still a slight chance?
I wonder what his tenure with the Pistons was like behind the scenes.
