  7. Cannot understand destroying your life (and possibly someone else’s) over a parking spot

  11. Holy shit man… I feel so fucking bad for Jaylen having to deal with all of the questions he’s gonna get about this….

    Edit: didn’t even realize the victim’s status was unknown. Might be upgraded to actual murder… what a fucked up thing to do over a parking spot. Hoping the victim makes a recovery. 

  13. I’m so confused as to how this even happened. How does a parking spot dispute escalate so much? If it’s gotten to the point of violence, as a former boxer, why is he stabbing guys before hitting them?

  14. Dawg over a parking spot??? Your kid is one of the highest paid players in the league. Hit him up for Apple Pay man, damn lol.

  15. Pretty important context, Marselles Brown is a 7 foot heavyweight boxer that was was a WBU World Champion back in 2016 where he retired. Boxers be violent. Stabbing over a parking spot is crazy though

  19. Your son got generational wealth and you trying to throw your whole life away? What a dumbass.

  21. Jaylen isn’t close to his father at all. I believe I read he was raised by a single mother. Have never seen his dad mentioned. Always see JB with his mom, brother, and grandpa

  23. What an idiot. Jesus christ, imagine going from being able to having access to hundreds of millions of dollars to rotting in a cell for the last able bodied years of your non senior life.

  24. Idk what Jaylen’s relationship was with his dad. He noticeably wasn’t on the podium when he got Finals MVP

  25. That sucks for Jaylen to have such a shitty person as your dad. Who tries to kill someone over a parking spot

  26. How do people get to upset over the dumbest shit….enough to stab someone and ruin your life over a parking spot? I’ll never understand
