Ja need to be fired from the nba this is unacceptable.
"gun wasn't mine" yet there's 3 other gun related stories linked to Ja that came out before and after this issue…………BS
Dude is young…he might not even truly comprehend the situation he’s in
He might only be saying what he needs to say to control the narrative
And I don’t care about any of that
Hopefully he can just stay outta trouble and enjoy his life and career
Michael Wilbon is the man. He and I have the exact same mindset when it comes to Ja Morant. I like Stephen A. Smith's take too. I'm right there with the both of these men.
i take responsibility…it wasnt my gun…whatever dude…8 games? smh
🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽😂
How tf Jalen going to ask him to tell who’s gun was it smh
Ja was dumb and heading the wrong way. But nothing overtly serious happened so we don't need to linger on it, just judge him by his actions going forward.
Thank U*** Thank U*** Wilbon..The TRUTH HURTS and He Make It Evident Here..Do Not SUGARCOATS This**It Goes Deep*** Family Friends•• Company U Keep..Not Only Yourself Accountable, But Trying To Hold Them Accountable, Everyone Is Not of The Same Mind-Set.. U May Be On An Island By Yourself!!
JAIL WARRANT
Bla bla bla
Imagine if this was Kyrie Irving. Stephen A smith would go nuts on kyrie now.
U already showed people who ja is that video is you
It was good interview
SAS and Jalen twisting like a pretzel to embrace Ja and what a good brother he is and how he's transformed himself for the good overnight. SAS barely knows the guy. Call it like it is. Ja acted like a jackass and is paying the price for it. Coddling his behavior isn't going to help him.

Um… Wilbon. The shoes don't come out till April and Nike stood by him. sooooo…
Ja got an easy lob by being interviewed by Jalen…
Ja, like nigguh you got me blucked up you think I'ma tell you who gun that was. Also Ja, don't whoop that hoe🎶
Jalen Rose asked him whose gun he was holding? It’s an espn interview not a police interrogation….wow
Its giving me Ryan Braun vibes when he lied on camera about the drug tester.
No second chance to Ja Morant no one is above the law
Paradox. I learned to express my feelings. But what should be known is that he was expressing them this whole time.
No pun intended but When I see Ja Morant I see a killer, not because of the gun but instead a killer on the court; reminds me of MJ and Kobe, he just got that natural killer mentality. Ironically dude is 23 like number 23 😂, but he is young learning his way through life, I think prior to this incident he simply did not know how to handle peer pressure, and after this incident I hope he learners how to deal with, he'll he knows how to handle pressure on the court, so he should not have a problem handling it from now on, off the court. One of the biggest problems people have is making tough decisions, and especially when you that young and in this age that we live in with social media, it makes it even worse. One of the hardest things to do is cut off those friends that are your friends that are no good, and Ja Morant is going to have to make that though decision; I had to make those decisions and it was not easy. This is a great interview by Jalen Rose, but I think that Allen Iverson especially should have a one and one conversation with him, then Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Shannon Sharpe and Stephen A. Smith. making the right decision is going to be tough, because those are your boys you grew up with, and now that you made it, you going to have to tell some of them to keep a distance, for the best interest of him and his family. Look I don't think a lot of people hate Ja Morant, most people love of him, because he just got that something called greatness; is like Lionel Messi he doesn't have too many enemies, when you are great instead of hate, you have to embrace it sometimes. All I know look out for these Memphis Grizzlies in the playoffs, even if they don't make it to the finals 😯Ja is coming back with a vengeance and like MJ back in 1995 he is not going to send a fax saying 'I'm back', he is going to show it with actions on the court, RESPECT JA, 👍❤️. Pura Vida
No stop young man you just need to grow up
He better be glad ol David Stern isn't the commissioner anymore. That dude would've kicked him out the NBA!
They let Jalen Rose interview him because they’re scared to let a real reporter dig. Ja Morant is not a role model nor is a majority of NBA players. They’re rich athletes and they will do what rich athletes do. Have no clue who Ja is but from what we’ve seen he’s a typical rich athlete.
Yo, Jalen Rose better fix those mustache line he got goin on😅its crooked bruh!!!😅😅😅😅
if you know about other story about him 8 games is like nothing. nba looks like a real bush league a multi million bush league. lol. its on that scrubs silver.
It is what it is but the nba league took it soooooo soft and not serious. Gun violence we here the nba talk about it and hate it but this one its like nothing to them no matter what if that his or not but he hold it. Come on now we are not stupid.
If you believe that I got ocean front property on the moon for sale.
Softball interview.. Jalen a puppet
Idk I just feel like his answers were answers that he knew he was suppose to give. Pr answers
safe to say Jalen rose won't be taken as a serious journalist after this
Ja has rehearsal, jalen has just got the cards to read……………stay woke
Jalen seems so scripted during the interview and ja seems like he’s heard these questions over and over, look at how natural he sounds vs the interview vs the show with everyone else, look at his eyes………..stay woke
Wilbon is the only one with common sense
Steven A on point with this !!!!!! ON the mark!!! An yes actions speaks louder than words but ya got to give the man a chance to prove it before ya go in on him so hard
An don't just take everything from the man on first strike he's 23 don't push him back to acting out cause adversity sells to new generation!!!!! Cancel culture everybody is so quick for a down fall especially of a African American
JA JUST GOT CAUGHT UP IN BEING THE FACE OF MEMPHIS AN LOYAL TO THE WHOLE CITY EVEN IN THE STREETS OF M TOWN BUT HIS GIFT TO THE CITY IS TO DO THIS WITH A BALL IN YOUR HAND NOT A GUN IN IT BE A BALLER NOT A BRAWLER YOU STILL WILL BE A GAINT IN YA PEARS EYES
It’s amazing how easy you can find this versus the JJ and Kendrick MVP debate..I wonder why 🤔
Respect the Second amendment in the nba & nfl!😂
Bogus interview 🤔
FREEDOM 😪 WHERE IS IT 😪
