The NBA has suspended Ja Morant for 25 games at the start of the 2023-24 season. The Memphis Grizzlies star will have conditions to meet to return to the court. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard and Kevin Wildes react to the news. Meanwhile, Michael Jordan is reportedly finalizing the sale of the Charlotte Hornets for $3 billion. He is selling the team to a group lead by Hornets minority owner Gabe Plotkin and Atlanta Hawks minority owner Rick Schnall. Country artist Eric Church and rapper J. Cole are also part of the ownership group. The FTF crew debate on whether this sale impacts MJ’s legacy or not.

Listen to What’s Wright with Nick Wright: http://sprtspod.fox/WhatsWright_YT
Hey ja bye bye
Player and GM are two different people. This has to be a joke segment from Nick
If he was white it would've been at minimum 50 games, or more likely a season and not picked up in the league again.
I just hope he works on his three pt game and not run with people who don’t care if he fails
What the FCK is Brou talking about?! He said Jordan has done some good stuff for the Black community since then and then proceeded to just name ways that Michael Jordan has gotten rich. Bro that was some super low grade commentary. Appalling to hear that on TV from a Black person.
Ja a spoiled child
MJ is a billionaire approaching 70yrs young, it's practical to move on and enjoy your twilight, but non critical thinkers wouldn't see it as such, too bias and judgmental.
This sounds like the start of a "who has the greater basketball mind" segment. I think Bird might be number 1. Great player, great coach, and great GM.
Is it really mental health tho?? Or just a young multi-millionaire showing his immaturity and being reckless?
Jordan is a trash owner
Ja desverr to be suspended an entire season
LeBron hasn't done anything for social justice but tweet and speak upon it, respectfully, that's not activisim, Ali was an activists.
Maaaaaannnnnn! dont give two s@#$s about MJ being a owner! He's my GOAT! PERIOD!
They want Ja out of Memphis so bad. If your a star or going 2 be they want u in Cali, NY, Boston, & etc. Ja good
So if he does it again he gets kicked out of the league right
Nick will do anything to discredit Jordans GOAT status.
Ja got a Soros prosecutor 😂😂
Nick is right about mj fans. They will ignore any shortcomings Jordan has had but pump up his accomplishments as if he was the only person to accomplish anything. I don't personally think his horrible ownership legacy should matter when it comes to his incredible basketball playing legacy but he is right. If his Charlotte team had any type of success, they would tie it into his overall basketball legacy, but because they've been terrible its never mentioned.
Should have given him half the season minimum.
i dont understand, if you have money and like guns you can go get military/john wick training. guns are fun and serve a purpose because you shouldnt rely on other people for your own security. just do that, stop acting like an idiot in a way that can get you killed or lose everything. if he posted a video at a range doing fast competition shooting no one would care. he wants to be a gangster for some reason instead of a rich millionaire with a fun gun collection and shooting hobby
Man, Nick is reaching here. Ownership has zero to do with the goat argument.
Trade: Dame the number 23 pick and a future first for Ja and Luke kennard
It affects MJ’s legacy as an owner. People will see him as a bad team owner, but a good player. Just like steve keer, people sees him as one of the best coaches and also the one that saves mj when he won’t shoot the last shot.
Since Ja is black Broussard is ok with it, no shock 👍
Silver thought he did something with that 25 game suspension. Now Ja is about to get his toy guns. It never ends
Lol, Wildes messing with Nick at the end
Nick get off lebron sack.. jordan has 10 scoring titles, a season where he averaged 37 a game.. a season he played point guard and averaged 32 8 and 8.. so stop this myth he was only a scorer.. he has 5 mvps, a dpoy and don't even got to bring up 6 and 0 in the finals with 6 finals mvps for his resume in 13 years with the bulls to be better than lebron 20 year career.. the things people say to make lebron seem so great without telling the full story always blows my mind . Only thing lebron has on jordan is LONGEVITY!!! no matter what you try to come up with to water down jordan, lebron still will never PASS him
Nicvk wright will like the hornets now if MJ sells up
