The fact that he’s WILLINGLY carrying all of that on his back should be incentive enough to keep his dumbass out of trouble. Lebron James was younger than Ja when he came into the league, with ten times the expectations, actually FROM the hood, no father, with the city of Cleveland on his back and $100 MILLION dollars from Nike invested in him before he even touched the court and he displayed not an OUNCE of the sheer stupidity Ja Morant has.


At some point excuses have to be called out for what they are. EXCUSES. Dude done already had to be summoned to the Commissioner's building like some juvenile having to go to the Principle’s office and be reprimanded by Mr. Belding. Thats not wake up call enough? Being suspended wasn’t enough? Losing out on $40 MILLION dollars because you got left off the All NBA roster because the league is embarrassed by you and your antics isn’t enough?

nikka got access to assistance most black men in America never get and he spurned all of that because he wanna be a dumb ass. Its not stress, its not rap music, its not mommy or daddy’s fault, its the DESIRE to be a dumb ass.
exactly, every single player has had that pressure of proving for their family, etc. His problem is he needs to stop listening to NBA YoungBoy cause he has a weird infatuation with him.
He don't love basketball either. His daddy gave him the training to be who he is. He loves the attention and it's the closest he can get to being one of those wack ass new generation rappers. When the Grizzles win, that's the equivalent of him doing a concert.

I don’t think he yet fully comprehends that he is the brand. He is the business. At least in terms of his circle. Like he needs to know unless you wanna be hooping overseas really early in his career he needs to chill. He better thank God Stern ain’t commish. He’d be suspended for a season and probably have to do all kinds of PR just to get back on the court.

Im not defending his actions. Im just saying this specific incident doesn't warrant this level of backlash regardless of his history. I get it's a terrible look but dancing with a gun can't be the smoking gun for a lengthy suspension . If another story came out with him or his boys pointing a laser, sure, suspend him. But this really ain't shyt but bad optics.
NBA almost died in the early 2000s because white people don't like to see NBA players who act out the worst parts of hip hop culture. Black people don't have enough money to appeal to advertisers and sponsorships so the NBA has retain their white fans at all costs.

I feel like the best path for the NBA is to suspend him for a year and have him appeal and win it. Bringing it down to like a 30ish - 40 game type suspension depending on completion of rehab and shyt. NBA gets their headline of being tough on this shyt but they also get him back playing next year.

Malik Beasley went to jail for threatening someone with a rifle and only got 12 games. Yall want Ja to get 5 times that penalty for dancing in a car with his friends :why:
Let's also not forget that Malik Beasley actually ended up serving jail time for what he did.

Ja should be suspended, but you can't give him longer of a suspension than what even someone like Bridges got.

Y’all complain about Adam sliver being soft well giving ja maybe a 10-15 game suspension is being soft especially after he got a slap on the rest for what happened early this season

He a repeat offender

It is what it is, he could get no games or whole season doesn’t make a difference for me but we got to keep it real about the reality of the situation

I remember mentioning a few months ago that the NBA needed a conduct policy like the NFL to at least some sort of template when these situations happen. You had some posters insisting that as long as you aren't/weren't charged with a crime then you shouldn't be suspended at all, when we see now that's not necessarily the case at all.

Don’t think that’s a fair comparison.

Dude literally was trying to protect himself. He may have gone about it wrong but it wasn’t his 5 or 6th issue of having to apologize for doing some dumb shyt with a gun or threatening people who are not a danger to him.

I don’t know if a half year is right but Ja was supposed to be “rehabbed” now he’s back to the same shyt just a couple months later. More than suspension length the NBA and his Teams actions should be based on REAL rehabilitation, not that crap they all tried to pull last time. Ja really needs an intervention.

Is that what you want to call it?

One of those people in the car was literally a teenager that he pointed the gun at and that's not even getting into the fact that one of the guns that was on his property was stolen.

Like i said he went about it wrong, but it’s a totally different situation.

Not really sure why the age of someone in the car matters. He was using the gun (kinda) for its intended purpose. Protection.

And it was a first offense and it wasn’t a mental health situation. Just a bad decision.

That still doesn't change the premise that he was still found guilty and actually served jail time and only got a 15 game suspension.

NBA discipline isn’t directly predicated on a conviction or jail time.

Their goal is to protect image and the bottom line.

Ja actions have been more a detriment to their goals.

Especially now being the second time of him on camera waving guns to a soundtrack about killing people.

And also Ja is endangering himself. For his own safety he needs some help.
