I mean, maybe his family is in the wrong? Maybe?

Reality is we probably know less than 1% of the facts, and it's weird that that's apparently enough for some people to passionately jump to a conclusion.

His family is in the wrong for going on social media and talking **** about his personal life on the most important day of his life. Period.
 
CVJ said:
Going on social media to talk **** is probably the most significant event of their lives too, an opportunity they couldn't miss.

All we know is that dating this woman hasn't hurt his life or career. But his family revealing the story to front offices, the media and now to the public certainly is.

I'd argue more, but I don't have much confidence in being able to talk sense to somebody who said "Even if he was groomed, who cares?"

Like I said, do you care about Tom Cruise practicing Scientology if the guy keeps making good movies? These are grown adults making adults decisions. We as audiences are here to watch entertainment, not to get into people's own personal business.

If Tom Cruise was also grooming a minor on the side, yes, I would find that very bad.

I mean, he appears alienated from his family and he reportedly dropped in the draft related to this matter, not to mention his personal life is on social media blast. I would suggest none of this has been good for his life or career.

And his family leaking the story out was the cause to all of that. Filip was receiving college education from a nation's top 15 college, playing high level basketball in one of the best programs in the world and getting drafted into the best league in the world to make millions, all while dating this woman. Does he look like someone who needs help?

We are talking about Filip. Not his woman. Is his girl playing for the Jazz? Yeah, this conversation is getting really dumb.

That's what you think the conversation has been about?

I don't think a single person here is talking about whether Flip is in the wrong. I'm happy we got him and from a pure basketball perspective I have no worries.

Just think it's weird to jump down his family's throats when knowing next to nothing about what happened and to say stupid things like "Even if he was groomed, who cares"
