Finally – I was so annoyed by the whole thing just being posted in clips. Thanks for sharing!

ESPN HAS to have a better interviewer than Jalen Rose. He’s so fucking cringey

Frankly, I’m satisfied. Doesn’t clear up all the questions with everything that went on, but in my mind he doesn’t have to (others will probably feel different). If nothing else, it seems like he learned a lesson and got the wake-up call he needed. Not everybody has to hit rock bottom to figure that out, so hopefully he’s addressed whatever he needs help with and we can get back to basketball.

Media is trying to paint him as this “troubled person” which I don’t think is the case. Does he do stupid shit sometimes? Sure. What early 20-something-year-old doesn’t? That IG live shit was the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen in a while from any professional athlete. But at the end of the day, no one was hurt and he seemed to be minding his business for the most part.
As far as the other incidents, most of that shit is his personal private life. I bet if you dug into the personal lives of any athlete they all have shit they’re not proud of or situations they could have handled differently. Ja’s dirty laundry just happens to get aired out because the media & fans want to portray him as some wannabe thug.

Fire his PR team for letting this interview happen.

I’m glad to see he’s taking the steps he needs to and he seems to be really doing some inner work. Good for him.
It does make me sad to watch this kind of stuff though. Dude is 23 years old and has to go on a press run about his fuck ups. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone and the fact modern society kind of demands people to is weird in and of itself. Idk. It just feels dirty and like he’s being exploited just to build up some narrative. I might just be being cynical though. Nonetheless, I’m happy for him and excited to see him back out there.

If you listen closely, you can tell that he’s been talking to a counselor. He made some immature choices, but nothing he has done affected anyone. The media blew this all out of proportion.

For me the most concerning thing was his intimation that he hadn’t been giving his full this season. From here on out I would love to see a fully invested Ja.
