Oklahoma City Thunder’s Josh Giddey is at the center of extreme criticism. The situation has taken to a new level with recent revelations in the case. Amidst the league’s investigation and the Newport PD Beach police, the commissioner of the NBA Adam Silver has faced the media and broken silence on the situation, claiming that there isn’t anything conclusive enough for the grounds of taking any action at this given point.

Silver in his statement to the media addressed the Giddey situation and said:

I can't think of many circumstances where we've suspended a player based on an allegation alone, so in this case, we have an allegation, and then you have a police investigation, and then you have a league investigation. I will also add that where there is a criminal investigation, we take a backseat... That's where things currently stand.

The allegations against Giddey of pedophilia are serious. Many fans and critics all across the basketball community aren’t ready to accept this statement given out by the commissioner but instead are treating it like an excuse by the league to avoid punishment for the player . Fans are demanding that they treat Giddey the same way players like Ja Morant and Miles Bridges were and that serious action be taken.

A recent revelation also suggests that Giddey had met Liv Cook at the age of 19 when he supposedly had a one-night stand, which sources suggest that he had ended it after realizing the age of the girl. The minor girl’s family isn’t cooperating with the law enforcement entities and Josh Giddey continues to play for the OKC.

The Philadelphia 76ers guard Patrick Beverley, on his podcast, shared an incident of a time from his high school when he got into trouble for using the word b***h. He mentioned how talking back had him beaten by an adult during his time in high school. Amidst the storytelling, Patrick’s partner on the podcast, Adam Ferrone concerning his story, took a jab at the OKC star who was accused of pedophilia.

In his jibe, Ferrone equated that man threatening an underage Beverley to the Giddey situation. He said:

A grown man hitting someone underage, who does he think he is, Josh Giddey?

With Adam Ferrone’s sarcastic jab at Josh Giddey concerning Pat Bevs’ high school story, Patrick couldn’t help himself but laugh about this. Eventually, they got back to his story and outlined the lessons he learned from the incident.
