Fearless with Jason Whitlock

April 1, 2026

ESPN has avoided the Jaden Ivey story like it was poison ivy. “Get Up” avoided the topic; “First Take” offered some Stephen A. Smith commentary; and “NBA Today” devoted a minute to the women’s Final Four. Dre Baldwin, T.J.
Speakers: Jaden Ivey, Jason Whitlock, Malika Andrews, J.B. Bickerstaff, Leslie Jones, Mike Vrabel, Steve Kim, T.J. Moe, Dre Baldwin, Danny Kanell, Charles Huff, Stephen A. Smith
**Jaden Ivey** (0:16)
I just never felt love before. I never, you know, felt what true love felt like. And I, you know, as I grew up, you know, there were some, you know, traumas that I went through. I don't really, you know, explain to people. But, you know, I definitely was sexually abused as a kid. There were some things that I, you know, saw, you know, that I don't really even talk about. But I know there was, you know, a seed that Satan tried to, you know, use at an early age.
And, you know, that was tough, obviously, growing up.

**Jason Whitlock** (1:05)
That was Jaden Ivey, the Chicago Bulls, former Chicago Bulls guard, talking about his history as a child and growing up. And if you want to know why Jaden Ivey is poisoned, you need to look no further than that clip I just played. He was poisoned in childhood. I couldn't imagine being Jaden Ivey's parents. Think his dad's name's Javin Hunter. He was a Notre Dame football player, had a cup of coffee in the NFL. His mother is Notre Dame's head basketball coach and women's basketball coach, obviously. She grew up playing in the WNBA. She was a Notre Dame basketball player. Jaden Ivey poisoned as a child. This man just did an interview within the past year where he talks about he never felt love as a child. If I'm Jaden Hunter or I think her name is Desiree, is the women's basketball coach, what's her? Yeah, Niel. Yeah, I'm sorry. Niel Ivey or is it? Yeah, Niel Ivey. I'm sorry. I was thinking of the athletics director at Arizona that we were talking about earlier this week. But anyway, Niel Ivey, his mother, WNBA player. We know what the WNBA environment is like. We know that it's highly LGBTQIA plus. We know that it's sexually degenerate. We know, we'll use Jaden Ivey's words. We know that it's sexually unrighteous. This is the environment that he grew up in, where he's talking about he was sexually abused. And he's talking about he saw things as a child that a child shouldn't see. And he knew that those were seeds being planted by the devil. Jaden Ivey is calling out for help and he's not going to get it from the sports world. The sports world doesn't want to help Jaden Ivey. The sports world wants to groom Jaden Ivey into a secular, non-biblical, sexually degenerate worldview. And he is screaming out against it. Very politely. This man should have never been fired or waved by the Chicago Bulls. They should be reaching out to help Jaden Ivey. Wow. We have a talented young man who seems to be thoughtful, who seems to have an interest in working through the emotional trauma and abuse that he suffered as a kid. How can we help? Instead, it's how can we get rid of him because he is sparking a conversation we want no parts of. Because if we have to go down the path that he's talking about and talk about the issues that he's talking about, the things that he experienced, why is Jaden Ivey leaning into the Bible and the stuff about like, hey, it's unrighteous. This gay stuff is unrighteous because he knows firsthand, he experienced it.
So this whole society and culture that we've built where we pretend like two men, two women, a gay couple can raise a child the same as a heterosexual couple. The NBA wants no part of that conversation and ESPN wants no part of that conversation. I had my guys go look, like I want you to give me a full report on how ESPN covered Jaden Ivey getting waved by the Chicago Bulls for speaking against the LGBTQ Alphabet Mafia. And ESPN bent over backwards, ignoring this story.
If some lesbian woman had been kicked out of the WNBA for any reason, and I don't care how big of her or how small of a star they were, but if they were kicked out because some heterosexual person or some heterosexual culture was being promoted and they felt suffocated by it, ESPN would have endless segments and shows talking about it. But they avoided the topic because Jaden Ivey is poisoned for them. It's a conversation ESPN is not built for because ESPN is not interested in the truth. So when you hear me say, there's a reason why they installed Stephen A. Smith, a pathological liar at the top of ESPN, that's what you do when you have no interest in exploring the truth. They're supposed to be the worldwide leaders in sports. The biggest story going on in sports right now is the Chicago Bulls firing Jaden Ivey because he said that, hey, why are we having a pride night? Why am I being forced to, or why are other players being forced to, to celebrate something we consider an abomination?
