I think there's a certain level of standards and expectations that are here. You know, I mean, we have people from all different walks of life working in the building and players from all different walks of life, right? So the first thing is, you know, everybody comes with their own personal experiences, but one is we've got to all be professional. I think there's got to be a high level respect for one another. And we got to to help each other, you know, and then be accountable to those standards. So I think that, you know, from ownership, you know, Jerry and Michael down to Arturis and Mark in the front office and me as a coach, you know, I think, and even to the players, you know, there's a certain standard that we want to all live by, you know, and we're all responsible to that standard.

and we jokingly call him Dr. TikTok.

But the deal is he's gone on Instagram live again and again.

Jaden Ivy's kept been going on Instagram live again and again and again

for long stretches at a time for like screeds and sermons that include long

pauses that are awkward that show a level of of uh instability yeah like a detachment sort of like

remember going back to the uh the the conversation uh when he was like the the old j i is dead kind of referring you to himself like he was like the the old

J.I. is dead kind of referring to himself in the third person.

And these Instagram lives started after the Bull shut him down for the season

where he's like calling out Steph Curry and saying disparaging things about the Catholic

religion.

And then yes, most recently about the LGBT community. So it's been kind of concerning to hear a guy like this. And then this morning,
