This is a good rule of thumb. And I'm not trying to nitpick but does that apply to NT and the nicknames we use for players on here? Like I am not fond of Russ (or Rust as I like to say) but if I were to ever see him in person and have a conversation, his play wouldn't be a topic of conversation so there wouldn't be an opportunity for me to say "Westbrick", "Rust" or anything negative since by all accounts he's a great human being. What's the guideline there?
Kyrie is another good example. He gets a lot of slander on social media, mainstream media and even NT but I don't think his vaccine status or beliefs about the shape of the earth would come up if they crossed paths with him. Does that make someone a hypocrite?

@ "Rust"Out of respect I didn't want to call the "Death Threats" bogus but I just want to know what was said.

Outside of a head nod, why even speak to an athlete?

I'd say NT is different than social media because those players don't have accounts here or at least I think they do not. It's a big difference between making jokes here and sending direct messages to someone's social media account.

Ive run into a few athletes while at Barneys. Dapped up PJ Tucker just said good luck with the season, same with Randle. Dudes hand was so big I dapped him and swear his fingers touched my forearm. Seen Becky Hammon and told her tell Chuck chill with the churro big ol women jokes.
Yeah I still dunno why I said that of all things to Becky but hey.

Have some dignity
Yeah they aren’t stars and are probably likely to chat.
I met Draymond the year before they won 73. It was at a gym. I congratulated him and talked about the adjustments he made when the doubles came to Steph. Like that was it.
If I saw him at the mall no way am I trying to chop it up with him.

Coming from SUmmer LEague one year, seen Brandon Paul printing out his boarding ticket. I told him, "Man keep cookin like that and you will be on SOMEBODY'S roster soon.
He lit up.
So since then, I've always felt invested in his career.

I think a lot of fans are just looking for Russ to be accountable for his poor play and decisions making like Magic said on Countdown. Dude doesn’t help himself with his piss poor attitude to the media and his “no expectations” when he’s playing for a championship org. Fans are always gonna take it to far tho. Social media has only shed more light on the foolishness/racism

Just have you and your fam leave it alone or play better and talk yo **** is the only way to handle these type of things with the fans …Going back and forth with em while you suck just makes it worse for everybody

Damn, I thought there was only 1 kind of death threat & now
picasso swerve
threw up a curveball.
Idk what difference it makes, trolling or not, I’m going to be very defensive about that because that threat is certainly beyond basketball. Like, trolling or not, how ugly of a person you must be to type/write & send that to another person?
I’m handling everyone of those threats like it’s legit cuz none of these losers taking my job too seriously is gonna catch me slipping.

I would never ever make death threats to ANYONE, even if I am joking. But I think it's time for Wes to get traded or to retire. He just ain't hittin and he's bringing down the Lakers

Lakers' Green got death threats after missed shot
Lakers guard Danny Green said he and his fiancée have received death threats on social media in the aftermath of his missed 3 late in Game 5 of the NBA Finals that could have helped L.A. win the championship.
these "fans" have a history of violence
also, said this in the past, they always attack the athletes they think are "soft"
i just recall desean jackson, snoop, and som rappers going at danny, but would never say it to his face if they sat front row
