Anyone else in the world in jail. Great sports player slap on the wrist crying im stressed
tbh, the NBA governors need to replace Adam Silver.
Adam silver should be suspended and fined for the rest of the season for his lack of accountability as commissioner of the NBA I'm ashamed to be a fan anymore of this disgusting league with all the talking about gun violence and this is what we get from professional so called sports.
Yessir. Pelicans vs grizzlies I'll b there..
DOWN IN FLORIDA….DOIN WHAT ????!!!!…LOL…..this ain't no MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE..This is am IMMATURITY and CULTURAL issue.
.
ADAM " SOFT".SILVER
Does Ja want to be like Mike and have everything or does he wanna be gangsta and have nothing?
The nba in general ( snoop Dogg and others) ,Memphis Grizzlies ( whip that trick) Undisputed ( lil wayne) etc etc ) Gansta rap and culture . Big hypocrites
The media really blowing this outta proportion
Ja Morant and Draymond Greene both got easy "punishments"
But the nba was about to kick Kyrie out of the league for posting a video with no words and just the thought that people of color originated and share a stake in Judaism. Oh let’s not forget the COVID vaccine extravaganza. I forgot though it is more offensive to white america to have black Athletes give their people of color inspiration than denigrate their people with guns violence and prostitution. Perhaps if he would of said blacks are the original Hebrews the media would have executed and castrated him!
The NBA is currently so lenient with its penalties. If it had been Ron Artest, he would have missed the entire season.
So, over a two week period he has changed and discovered all the issues and fixed them? I think we all understand his is young and this is what happens when you give young people millions of dollars. This was not his first bad behavior, but no one is holding him accountable. 8 games is a joke! I hope this is the last we hear about this young man and his bad behavior, but I doubt it.
It’s not called mental health for Ja Morant, it’s called stupidity. Ja this isn’t the gangster rap game, it’s called the National basketball Association who you’re representing. Memphis has one of the highest black related murders in the nation and you’re laughing and grinning pulling out guns and doing gangs signs, Ja has you lost your mind 🤔
Can’t make a grown man change if he doesn’t want to. The only problem is! Based on my experience, this kind of behavior usually continues until something bad happens… something more serious. Not before then. I just hope nobody gets hurt.
if he really has mental health issue 8 day is nothing he needs help he shouldnt be worries about comming back. if he wanted to use the white boys line claiming they have mental issues
The writing was on the wall since day one, these media shitty people were already making his crime very light. Ordinary people suffer the might of the law but superstar aholes like Morant get to walk. Slow clap!
He won’t do it again, not because he thinks it is wrong but because he will lose millions of dollars. That’s all
He went to counseling for a day he’s good now. 😂
Can they get someone that can read instead of Shelbourne?! She stumbles and reads too fast!!
Ramona, please take a breath between sentences.
It's not JUST the video of him holding a gun.. before that.. There was another incident.. Where the pacers had said that Ja and his friends in an SUV drove by slow and pointed a red laser at them after a game,, “We felt we were in grave danger,” one individual told The Athletic of the incident. NOW, add the video with JA playing with a gun.. and NBA says?.. ahh.. 😒
Why They talking so serious.. including phrases like.. " no one got hurt" and then you hear the punishment.. 2 games.. ??? ridiculous
Was that a firearm? Lol
Should be 50 though…
Yb better
Y'all fail to understand
Perk is still here while Rachel Nichols got canned
blasphemous, adam silver should have brought down the 50 game suspension
they should write only for 8 games… but okay. So what's next ?what his friends are going to make him do ?
Dude wants a 30 for 30 on him.
At this point no one cares about Ja Morant and his "issues" the NBA has made a bad move by bringing back this season they should have shut him down and let all this go away first. Then bring him back, now he will be watched for everything he does by the media. And now by bringing him back he never suffered any real punishment so he will make another mistake and it may cost the NBA dearly.
Rehab for gun toting huh
8 games!? Thats a jk
I would have suspended him for the rest of the season, with option to extend.
League has gone soft both on and off the floor.
March 28 is tomorrow here on planet Venus
Never say the NBA ‘needs’ him.
Would they benefit? Yes!
Is the product better? Yes!
But if he is a real problem, he’ll be gone eventually.
8 games is more like load management than a suspension 😂
They sent that boy to florida for spring break lmfao
