Michelle Biddle was angry with Josh Giddy over the previous allegations
The The Chicago Bulls were one of the early season surprise teams, currently sitting in the top half of the Eastern Conference leaderboard at this early point in the campaign. While Chicago has lost three straight (all against likely playoff teams), the Bulls have still performed above expectations, thanks in large part to played by Josh Giddy.
Giddy has shown improved three-point shooting to go along with the continued evolution of his playmaking abilities to look like an All-Star candidate for the Bulls, and recently the hosts on FanDuel’s “Run It Back” discussed what Giddei’s All-Star bid could look like.
“Like a guy like Josh Giddy this year. He’s probably going to get in. He’s more likely to make the all-world team now because of this format than last year as only 24 players. Not to discredit the start to the season he’s had, but kids aren’t going to go to All-Star weekend to watch Josh Giddy play basketball,” Chandler said.
Then co-host Michelle Biddle came on a bad joke.
“I bet one is. I bet one kid is. It’s in LA. It’s the closest station to Australia, I guarantee one kid is there because of Giddy, fact,” Biddle said.
Beadle makes a clear reference to the off-court scandal surrounding Giddy two years ago, in which an anonymous social media user started rumors that the then-Thunder guard was in a relationship with an underage girl.
The police looked into the matter and closed the investigation without Giddy ever being charged with a crime, and the NBA also opened and closed an investigation with nothing to support that claim.
The fact that Beadle, a once respected journalist, would stoop so low as to make incredulous allegations on air is quite shocking and may speak to a potential ratings problem for her program, which requires an effort to stir up controversy.
Either way, the Bulls will next take the floor on Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons.
