Yeah, I would assume there are two sides to this story as well. What is the old saying ..... "What is good for the Goose is good for the Gander" because I find it hard to believe that a star of his magnitude did not hook up with women while he was on the road. Granted cheating with a "friend" stings more, (if true) but still, these guys can't have it both ways. Of course, there is a possibility that he was faithful...
I don’t really listen to Rap either but I did look up the lyrics to a number of his songs. Just to read them. They all talk about various things he has done and wants to do. Things going on in his life.
Easy to look up. Google is your friend. You can use the new duck search engine also. edit Duck Duck Go
Oh, I listen to plenty of rap. Lillard's is just very egotistical and narcissistic. Not my style. Nothing against it I guess.
I looked. Not knowing the name of the song or anything about Dames music makes it tough to find with more than a quick search. No time for that right now.
So they had a one directional arrangement eh? Not a chance on Earth Lillard wasn't out there hitting hotties get outta here. Of course when you're bringing in 100's of Millions you can have that kind of arrangement. I remember earlier this summer someone mentioned Lillard and his wife were having issues and I speculated this was part of his fixation on Miami. Two things Miami has better than the Bucks and neither of them are championship contention, is taxes (we know he loves money) and top shelf hotties.
I think it's not an unreasonable ask for men of that caliber to want that seeing as he's bringing an elite body and god-tier income to the equation. Just have to be frank about that and if the woman balks, then find another or be faithful to her.
My whole thing here is consenting adults. If people want multiple wives or husbands and all parties give their blessing, why not? Robert Heinlein's S-Families. My standard around sex and relationships is consenting adults. That is not only an ironclad position, it is also one that I am logically consistent with. Oh, and I also don't need to know about it, that's their business.
AC Green famously didn’t hook up, and he wasn’t even married. I grant that it may be a corner case, but I think the Zion-esque playa is neither the norm nor is someone being faithful unheard of.
Yeah have you seen the videos of Lillard dancing with women not his wife at his birthday and stuff? Lillard is great, but he is not an ultra-Christian like AC Green. I actually met AC in person at his camps when I was a kid and he was very devout. Does anyone think Lillard is in that camp? Come on. Listen to his songs he sings about women constantly. 2+2=4. Zion being a player is absolutely close to the norm in the NBA, heck our own DA copy and pasted his cheat on his girlfriend with a pornstar behavior. I know people who say there are lines of 8+++ women at the hotels where NBA players on the road stay and then DM's on Instagram and on and on. Constant, relentless temptation of women most of us could only dream of having their attention. AC was an outlier, Zion is much closer to the norm. Sorry, but that's pretty much a fact. I'm sure some pro-athletes and musicians are faithful to their wives, but stereotypes very often exist for a reason. I am thankful I don't have that level of temptation, pretty sure I would crumble at some point.
Dame isn't innocent in all of this. Do a search on Erica Fontaine. She's been linked to affairs with Lillard earlier this year... or at least that's when he was first caught. Dame's lawyers have done a great job of scrubbing the affair off on the internet, but this article still exists: https://www.marca.com/en/more-sports/2023/04/27/644a92ca22601d07598b45e4.html I'm guessing Dame's story of his wife cheating on him doesn't hold much weight when he was cheating too. This divorce is going to get ugly, and a lot more dirt will be surfacing I'm sure.
Its a guess but it could explain Dames mention of Jody as she could have counciled him as she went through a divorce, probably reached out to Dame.
Prohibiting the N-word is an excellent idea. I’ve never understood why Black players like to use a racist term for themselves that is derogatory and demeaning.
oh for chrissakes...can we have one thread about Dame that doesn't have bile directed at him? There is almost always plenty of blame on both sides in a divorce. I speak from experience nobody here knows what the story is and who cheated on whom, or if either person did. And it really doesn't matter
It matters to me. Dame has a PR, music and legal machine behind him. His soon to be ex does not. I'm just like the rest of you and not in the inner circle who knows what truly happened. But when I see a one-sided public relations push I know when to call something fishy. There were hundreds of articles about Dame cheating earlier this year. There's only a handful today. I saw them, and turned a blind eye like the rest of you. When I heard Dame was calling out his wife for cheating, that's what ticked me off. If he's going that route in court, he's going to get trounced IMO.
