“I’m disgusted by how this whole process has played out,” said Alston.

“Will Wade has operated in a disgusting manner. He is a sleazeball of an individual. I know there was a back alley deal involving PUMA, in which money was accepted without my authorization.”

Alston alleged that his wife, Ashley Alston, may have accepted money as part of a gun-jumped process.

Alston explained that he has indeed made repeated attempts at imploring Wade to cut off all communication with his family stemming back to Oct.5, to no avail.


quote:

Incensed, Alston illustrated that he would be taking legal action on the matter.

Alston added that his attorneys have been in contact with the NCAA regarding what he depicted as murky, bush league tactics of this recruitment.


That’s a spicy parent.

Grain of salt and all of that (ZHoops Blog)

He does some reporting for Zagsblog which is a pretty legitimate grassroots hoops blog. Has some good NY AAU and HS coverage.

I don't know who any of these people are other than Will Wade, and I cannot believe that he would ever be involved in anything that could be described as sleazy, disgusting, murky, back-alley, or bush league.

The son and wife are dealing with Wade and the dad is mad.

And this could all be made up because this does not seem like a real website and is regurgitating everything bad Wade has ever been accused of.

ETA:

Oh shite this is Skip 2 My Lou and Lil' Skip!

Gotcha. I’m obviously not well versed in basketball because I’ve never really needed to worry with it

Sounds like he needs to get his own affairs in order.

I wondered if Mom and Dad are divorced or separated and one is getting a better cut.

ETA: Also had that “Damn I’m old” moment of “Puma’s a thing again? Well shite”

You should change the title to "Two of the Alston family are fans of tPear and one is not."

Dad: "I'm MAD!"
Kid and Mom: "frick off, dad."

I think that's about the long and short of it. In other news, welcome to LSU, Reese Alston!

Are parents separated because no way mom is negotiating deals and dad doesn’t know about them, gotta be different households

Being in the presence of the Alston family and part of the Cooz Elite PUMA PRO16 circuit team with my kid who played for Coach Alston, I find this very suspicious. I'll talk to Coach later for sure.

PUMA is for whippersnappers.

Chuck Taylors / Converse

That is old school, now they are just a subsidiary of Nike, which blows goats.


In the summer of 1916, the Converse basketball line was established; by 1917 the Converse All-Star basketball shoe was introduced and quickly became successful during World War I and the Spanish flu.

In 1922, basketball player Charles H. "Chuck" Taylor walked into Converse complaining of sore feet, and Converse gave him a job as a salesman and ambassador. He promoted the shoes around the U.S., and in 1932, Taylor's signature was added to the All-Star patch on the high-top sneakers. He continued this work until shortly before his death in 1969.

So dad and mom aren’t on the same page and I’m sure dad is making deals too.
