Requisite Justin Williams Post, Day Three

by Tom Ziller on Oct 20, 2007 8:07 AM PDT in News

Justin Williams' lawyer told The Bee the threesome which has sunk the King in legal trouble was completely consensual. He also says he has proof. Which could very well mean...

Justin Williams Sex Tape.

The quote in question:

"The truth is nothing happened that night that was not consensual, and we have proof of it," Portanova said. "While some people may find it distasteful to think about it, it's a reality of 21st-century life."

Are threesomes a reality of 21st-century life? Or is proof of threesomes (presumably video, maybe some sort of awkward contract) a reality of 21st-century life?

You know, it feels like the case has been significantly deflated. We shouldn't assume it's going away, though. One thing that does seem almost certain based on the twists: the King aren't cutting Justin. They have to be confident he'll beat this rap (though I'm sure it's more important to them, as to us, that he's innocent of wrongdoing).

The question is does a team with available season tickets that's also stumping for a new arena retain a marginal player recently involved in a threesome, even if it was consensual? No question if it's Martin or Garcia or even Douby. But is Williams worth the touble and publicity in a small sports town that houses some very narrow (and public) minds?

I hope Justin stays, but I'm not so sure that it's going to happen.

All I have to say is... I am now going to search the Interwebs, starting with YouTube... for that tape.

Uh, is this 1850? You would cut a guy for having a threesome? Give me a break. First, you know all the NBA players have a threesome available to them any night all year. Second, you know many take advantage of that. Third, you too would take advantage of that. Fourth, this is the 21st century, sex isn't merely for procreation - it's recreation now days. A threesome between consenting adults is not anything that's our business to judge.

Re: Requisite Justin Williams Post, Day Three

I would not cut a guy for being involved in a threesome, Sactown. But I don't own a team that has to cater to its fan base. And as unfair as it may be the fact that Justin Williams is not a Ron Artest talent will factor into the final decision. I personally don't care what these guys do off the court as long as it is legal, but there are season ticket holders with kids that will not see it the same way as you or me, 21st century or not.

As I said, I hope Justin Williams stays. I like him. But I will not be surprised if The Kings go all "1850" on Justin Williams and send him on his way.

Re: Requisite Justin Williams Post, Day Three

That's a slippery slope also. What's legal and illegal is always up to debate too.

Re: Requisite Justin Williams Post, Day Three

Didn't the Kings owners just hire a good looking coach to improve their visibility with the female demographic? I think the Maloofs should give away threesomes with your favorite King as half time prizes. No more dog races or yahoos flipping their children in the. Free coupon for one tussle in the sheets with John Salmons and his chin boobs; bring a friend.

We are slipping into the NBA abyss.
