"It's okay Giddey": NBA called out for different verdicts on Josh Giddey minor allegations and Jontay Porter scandal by Antonio Brown

Former NFL player Antonio Brown was not happy with the NBA's verdict on Jontay Porter and called out the league for not punishing Josh Giddey. Porter received a lifetime ban after being proven to bet on NBA games, while Giddey got away scot-free from his alleged relationship with a minor.

In a tweet, Brown posted a meme about Giddey and Porter. The one-time Super Bowl champion even used #CTESPN on the post, alluding to fans who thought that he was suffering from CTE due to his erratic behavior over the past few years.

Here's what was written under the Giddey meme:

"Nothing happened to him."

"Everybody makes mistakes."

"It's okay Giddey."

Meanwhile, here are the words used for Porter:

"Lifetime Ban."

"Not welcome in our NBA."

"Goodbye Thug."

What happened to Josh Giddey's case?

Josh Giddey was accused of having an improper relationship with a minor in November 2023. The NBA began investigating the alleged issue before letting the Newport Beach Police Department in California handle the case.

No charges were filed against the OKC Thunder star after not finding any evidence of the improper relationship. The alleged victim also didn't cooperate with the investigation so the police department had not other choice but to let it go.

As for the NBA's decision to not suspend Giddey during the investigation, Adam Silver explained that the league doesn't punish a player based on allegations.
