    Good for him for taking a break but he definitely posted those images to get attention. Overly dramatic league.

  2. Elec7ro

    Love to see it, also love to see that people took this seriously

  3. N3110H_5555

    I’m glad he got the attention that he was seeking

  4. anonMLMhater

    Also, It’s ok to *not* have a take about Ja Morant in this particular circumstance

  5. DeSteph-DeCurry

    so he’s an attention grabbing narcissist using social media to garner sympanthy? say it ain’t so

  6. StepGrandad

    Well damn, so not the most dramatic scenario… hmm who would have guessed

  7. Obeliscol2

    Glad Ja got his attention because an NBA superstar always needs a little more

  8. ShutterBug545

    Taking a step back from social media is a good step for him to get the help he obviously needs but prolly shouldn’t have done it in the way he did

  9. Saturday514

    Damn.. he acts like a lil highschool kid.. this is just for attention? 🤦🏻‍♂️

  10. mr_chub

    Man I feel sorry for these kids who grew up in this social media generation. It literally is a second life for them.

    How to get attention without asking for attention 101

    The fact that he put out these posts, knowing the confusion out there shows:

    1. His agent is completely out of the loop and has lost control
    2. Ja put that confusion out there and knew he would get a follow up to keep him in the news.
    3. This is not a cry for help, it is someone with the mental and maturity level of a 4 year old screaming “Look at me!!!!”
    4. He is an ass-hat.

  13. aznkupo

    I’m glad I can make this comment now thst he’s safe.

    This guy wants to be gangsta? But post cry for attention posts when he takes a break for social media? Lmfao. Come on Ja.

  14. variationgoat

    Why be weird and said bye to your little girl like that then lmao

  15. domingodlf

    What an attention whore jesus christ dude. I really thought he couldn’t get any more unlikeable but he somehow manages to do it every time.

  16. dbr3000

    You know, little bitch could’ve just posted “i’m taking a break from social media, bye”

  17. NoTickeyNoLaundry

    Y’all fell for that shit so hard lmao

  18. spidersilva09

    Social media sucks. But announcing you’re leaving it always cracks me up. He like the girl I went to HS with. Side note: he will be back in no time lol

  19. DaMonstaburg

    Note to self – when quitting social media, don’t make a display, just quit.

  20. deflatethesack

    Better to check than to assume in these situations. Hopefully ja sees people care about him and he takes strides to better himself. We will see

  21. Tidityy

    Why did he say bye to all his family? There’s no way he didn’t know what he was doing.

  22. Dymatizeee

    His daughter ain’t even on social media.. wtf he posting that for lol

  23. Banxrok

    Lol… This was an episode on south park. Quitting social media equals suicide.

  24. Paralta

    Lmfao just stop using it ffs. Go to the bahamas for a month or something god damn.

  25. somedudeinlosangeles

    Getting off of social media is usually a net positive.

  26. BlueHundred

    It’s for the best. I don’t know why more athletes don’t just let someone run their social media for them

  27. flowerboyinfinity

    Y’all enthusiastically mounted your high horses this morning and rode into battle against… nothing
