This doesn't read as authentic to me.

If they said this stuff in this way, it just sounds like they are buttering you up and playing you.

"Listen, all we care about is the court. We've never been tempted! We are good boys!"

Don't be gullible, this isn't how people talk. This is trying to project a story they think will make it back to people who want to hear that story.

That said, I do believe they get a lot of aggressive attention. I had a friend who dated a Chicago Bear and her stories were unreal.

There was a blog post a few years ago about a guy who managed a married basketball player, and he was like, I can't trust myself around women. And he gave the manager his phone. "You need to keep these women on the hook for a week or two and let them off easy."

And the manager wrote insane stories about the shit women would send him. People lose their minds.
