Who's gun did he have? Was there a red beam coming from the vehicle? It felt like Jalen was playing T-ball just lining up the questions for Ja to hit. THIS was NOT a real interview.
Fire the Audio person
Dude, you're not perfect, nobody is, change your mindset and be a disciplined athlete. The past is the past, move forward and be better.
Yap, he is keeping the gangster life—“loyalty.”
kudos to jalen for the interview and ja i hope you truly learn from this and make a whole 180 outta this
You are fake Ja . You gonna die like one.
ja is gonna come back fully rested for the playoffs that's huge for the grizzlies, people are talking bad about their youth and inexperience but he's gonna be playing with rested feet and knees that's huge for a guy with ja's kinda bounce! As a student of the game I can't count them out their gonna be dangerous in the playoffs.
Him going to counseling is an important step and shows he want to change his behavior.
Ja “ you know “ morant
Why do they keep on posting new videos and every time it’s a little longer
See that's all it take 1 scripted interview u back good bro
See how stupid these fans are
That's why U don't mess up the MONEY youngin !!!! U can play thrse suckas for DECADES u better be more ghost from power than king von from o block
This is so unnecessary. They’re acting like he just came back from rehab. He could’ve just come back to the team without doing this interview.
jalen eyes going all over the place
Rooting for you young Brotha🙏🏽
Ja hasn't taken any accountability for anything he did
Man you can tell when Mr Charlie talk to a person of color about how to live their life cause he own they as, people of color aways got to apologize to Mr Charlie White. But lately Ja has been in a few bad videos stop being the person who wants all the attention Ja you're a young Blackman with more power than you can imagine so put that amazing power talent and family in different place some of the guys you can't hang with in certain places they just can't go and I'm sure you know who they are. Very happy for you and family stop recording yourself all 5he time an keep the dummies away and Live young Blackman Live your best LIFE. Just a Fan.😊😊😊😊😊
7:46 Hey Lois
Everybody makes mistakes Fam as long as you learn from it’s not a L we rooting for you brodie hold ya head up only god can judge you
There ain't no pressure at all he just enjoying being young and stupid and being a millionaire! Hope he matures in some point! This kid is a very good baller i hope he ends up good being one of the new faces of the nba. Goodluck Ja stay away from trouble kid!
I believe Ja will make a turnaround and learn from his mistakes!
Ja ain’t no snitxh tho 😂
"I will stop beating up 17 year olds and pointing guns at people"
Youngster, you made a mistake, Jamaica love you and we support, we know you will be great, put this behind you, don't let us and the media take you down, you know what you can be, just work to be a great parent, child sibling and a great man, look forward the world is at your finger tip, you are a leader not a follower, keep the link with Jalen Rose, he will steer you right and keep it confidential
D Rose and Paul pierce where in the streets they never once seen with a gun
This proves how soft and lame the media is lol bro just having fun doing him and now he gotta go thru all this lmao they want all nba players to be a robot and jot have their own personality
🤥 🧢📝
Good to know that all it takes is about a week or two for bad minded people to become good
He isn't sorry for his actions. He is sorry that he GOT CAUGHT. HUGE difference.
Nothing changes if nothing changes. A person doesn't change from a thug into a good person in a week. $$$$$$$ bought the system. Justice is for sale in the USA. We know this.
I’ll take “How Many Different Ways Can One Ask The SAME Question” for $1000….
All publicity = Good publicity
Jesus can handle anything Ja, turn to him.
Ja doesnt deserve a second chance. he should get kicked out of NBA permanently and daughter taken away from being this gangster wanabe 🤦🏻♂🤦🏻♂
So what does breathing exercises gotta do with flashing a gun in a strip club 😂
2 weeks and he’s a changed man already
🧁 interview
Ha sound scripted tf was he even saying just a bunch of mumbo jumbo.
You know…….
Ja has always been a humble young man. Hungry because he'd been overlooked so much despite his accomplishments and talents. Moving forward we're going to see a much better and more focused version. Look out NBA.
stfu no one cares
To be honest, he has been protected by All: Media, NBA, his Team and Sponsors! He got a new chance and hopefully he can benefit!
