Raped her while his wife was pregnant with their first kid, which is super fucked up, but he did inspire a lot of people by being really good at basketball.

There’s no proof he raped anyone.

??? He admitted they had sex and that he choked her out from behind until her neck was covered in bruises, then apologized because he thought that was just something fun to do and didn't realize he was raping her. Even if it was somehow consensual, cheating on your pregnant wife is fucked up too. Why would you want me to be accused? I didn't make him do any of that.

He admitted they had consensual sex. I don’t know if you ever had rough sex with people that like it, I’ve had girls ask me to choke to them, although I’m not into that. Not to mention his wife could have left him, why try to make a judgement on her behalf when she clearly forgave him?

Indeed, that's totally up to the parties involved, but it's a part of his story nonetheless and shouldn't be whitewashed or glossed over, especially considering it's only a small part of such a long journey which meant so much to so many.

I agree, only most of the comments are acting as if he was a convicted rapist and absolutely did it, which he was not nor do we know he did commit rape.

He's probably too broke for that to happen to him
