Do you know him in real life? Or just what you see of him on social and on the basketball court?


I don't know him in real life, but Steve Prohm does. And Steve Prohm thought it was necessary to suspend one of his best players in the middle of the season for his behavior. It's not rocket science.

For his behavior on the basketball court and in practice, not for social media. You need to separate the two.

And Steve Prohm is the one that should be making that decision. It's not the fans' place to make that judgement. And if fans continue to look at his social media and get ****** about it, maybe they should stay off of it too.

Don't follow him on social media. There is zero purpose.

He's been suspended, so it's obviously out there about his attitude. We all know that going forward it's about McKay and his coach, and McKay and his teammates. We'll find out if he gets it or not. What he posts on social media has nothing to do with his basketball life.

I'm pretty sure you're the only freaking out about this.


Just because you ignore it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I follow our players on Twitter and Instagram because it's interesting to see how they interact with fans, media and each other.

I'm not freaking out, just pointing out that at a time he is supposed to be refocusing and putting his ego aside, he is still displaying the same attitude that got him in that situation. He doesn't get it. I hope it's just a worthless video, but he's shown in the past that his social media isn't far from his actual attitude.

I'm not suspending him. I am judging him by his actions and decisions. Continuing to post crap like that on social media shows a lack of awareness and judgment. It's not hard to see he's emotionally stunted.

Jesus, how many times do I have to spell this out? Some people separate the two, some don't. Jameel is a guy that overshares on social media. It is a reflection of who he is and what he thinks. It is an extension of his character.

The attitude we see on social media is the same attitude he brings to practice and games.

All I'm saying is don't judge him, after his suspension, from his social media posts. If he comes back and pouts on the bench or on the floor, or if it's obvious he's half assing it on the court, then you can call him out.

Unless his posts are directly bad mouthing his coach or teammates, then don't try to read into them.

Do you realize how dumb you sound for bashing on a kid who posted a short video of himself lip synching? Just let it go. Wait till he disappoints on the court again, before freaking out.

I hope he has a good meeting with Prohm. I'm sure he will, and I expect him to come out focused against Texas Tech. All I ask is that his actions match his words. He needs to grow up.

Nothing worth scrutinizing excessively in that latest instagram.

Maybe you meant to say he does not want to change how he operates. He is 23. Waiting to hear the outcome...some people call it passive resistance. Looks like some of the Bulls players do the same to fred this year.

It wasn't as bad as his previous stuff, but it still showed his thought process. He knows what he's doing.

I just see a kid who is sitting with his girlfriend, and realizes that in 12 hours his future will be decided.

Wonder what the condition is for him to return? I'd be willing to guess something as simple as an "i'm in" statement
