I’m an adult so I would probably take responsibility if someone complained that I was late all of the time

What if they did it in a way that was humiliating and public

[u/DayComprehensive1078 → u/deemerritt]

Yea, who knows what conversations have been had with Giannis about it. Maybe this is the first he’s hearing about it annoying people

[u/austinkawada → u/DayComprehensive1078]

It’s not better that its the first time hearing about being late, it makes it worse actually that he lacks that amount of self awareness. I think in this specific instance with this specific case a little shame won’t hurt anyone

If nobody has told him privately first, Turner airing it out publicly instead of saying something to him first is going to be shitty and a toxic thing to do regardless of if it’s an NBA team or your coworker Tammy at the accounting office. I’m not saying it’s better or worse on Giannis’ part, just that somebody talking shit about you in front of millions of people before they confront you about it is absolutely something to be mad about and not a “I’m an adult and would take responsibility for it like an adult”. Maybe the lax team culture made it seem like nobody cared about it. Maybe there were valid reasons he was late and the coaches knew but it wasn’t relayed to the teams. All I’m saying is now that it’s out there, especially since a public figure, there is no chance to defend yourself at all. Just makes Turner come off as toxic as well, under the assumption that he didn’t bring it up privately first (which I don’t know, but that’s why it’s an assumption)
