Apparently in the NBA, assaulting a woman won’t cost you your career — but professing Christianity will.
The Chicago Bulls axed Jaden Ivey on Monday after he called so-called Pride Month “unrighteousness.” Ivey said that Pride Month is proclaimed on billboards, in the streets, and by the NBA.
“Unrighteousness,” Ivey said. “So, how is it that one can’t speak righteousness? Who are they say that this man is crazy?”
The Chicago Bulls responded by saying the Bulls “waived guard Jaden Ivey due to conduct detrimental to the team.” Ivey pushed back on the claim his “conduct” was “detrimental,” saying he was a good team player and “did nothing but practice with them and play with them.”
“So why is it that the NBA and the Chicago Bulls say that I’m detrimental to the team? How? Because I believe in the truth? Because I know Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life?” Ivey continued.
But that is where the NBA draws the line. When it comes to conduct that is actually “detrimental” — like beating your girlfriend or trafficking drugs — you get a pass. But dare profess the gospel, and the league has different standards.
A few examples underline the point: Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges was arrested in 2022 after allegedly assaulting his girlfriend while his children were present. He pleaded no contest to a felony charge of injuring a child’s parent, and the NBA suspended him for 30 games.
Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes was arrested in 2021 for several misdemeanors, including domestic violence charges. For that, the NBA did nothing.
The NBA did give Milwaukee Bucks’ Kevin Porter Jr. a four-game suspension after he allegedly beat his girlfriend in a September 2023 attack so vicious it left her with a fractured neck vertebra and other injuries, but ruled that Porter had served the suspension in the season he spent away from the league.
While a member of the Charlotte Hornets, James Bouknight was charged with a DWI after he was found unconscious in a vehicle in a parking lot. He reportedly had a firearm in his hand. Montrezl Harrell (also a Hornets player at the time) was arrested for felony drug trafficking. Neither of their careers was ended over conduct most would deem “detrimental.”
Yet the Chicago Bulls cut Ivey for professing his Christian faith.
The NBA is willing to tolerate domestic violence, drunk driving, and drug trafficking but won’t tolerate any dissent from left-wing LGBT thought-orthodoxy.
