The NBA community is arguably the most vocal one around, as evidenced by the fallout from Jordyn Woods’ recent choice of outfit to Karl-Anthony Towns’ FIBA World Cup game. Understandably, folks had a lot of reactions.
Many fans took to social media to respond.

That’s why you can’t even get 8 rebounds @DeandreAyton .. Killing tickets. You and Ban Adebayo. The bums of the centers. https://t.co/Tf55xYKajT

The Suns are no strangers to random off-the-court situations like this. Between the 7-players-in-1-night girl, Devin Booker’s poop tales, and Kevin Durant’s wandering eye, this is an organization that arguably makes more headlines for non-hoops stuff than actual basketball related happenings.

That said, this is the offseason. Random storylines tend to dominate this time of the year.
Next season all eyes will be on Phoenix. The addition of Bradley Beal should push them over the top when it comes to title contention, but time will tell if a chip is truly in their future.
As for this particular viral video, it will be interesting to see if Ayton opts to publicly address it in some capacity in the coming days and weeks.
