> Jones went live on his Instagram page on Thursday and broadcast himself speaking erratically and unintelligibly. He was also dancing along to music playing in the background and bursting out into sudden fits of laughter. At one point, Jones appeared to say that he didn’t think the Hornets would be trading him any time soon.

    Why would they do that? Seems the man needs help

  2. respaaaaaj

    Remember guys, if you want your teammates to like you, don’t do drugs, beat your family instead

  3. sludge-slurper

    How do we know all the hornets players unfollowed him? Maybe he blocked them all

  4. Prior-Rooster3232

    but when it comes to miles bridges: “sorry for what he went through 🥺”

  5. I feel bad for kai hope he gets the help he needs if he wants it

  6. aiden3buckets

    Or he blocked them all which would make more sense

  7. yoheadabovewater

    r/nba like, three hours ago: It’s just a Caribbean accent!

  8. CalmResearch3132

    So he needs help. Let’s shame him instead?

  9. NIN10DOXD

    We are the new Jail Blazers and I hate it.

    Charlotte boring AF. Not a lot to do there but get high and jump on the internet.

    After watching a longer video on his IG, I’d bet my life this fella took some (speedy) molly and was planning on jamming to Playboi Carti leaks alone but then the extroversion kicked in and IG Live was a fix he was holding in his hand, and the effects really kicked in at some point.

    He’s not quite as insane when this starts:

    Man, kids are so damn immature. Gotta get off the internet and focus, focus on a damn once in a lifetime opportunity

  13. fraxior

    just because someone eats molly doesn’t mean they need help. buncha fuckin nerds. let dude live.

  14. Totally_Tumescent

    Totally normal and just sweaty and working out, like everyone was gaslighting in the previous thread

  15. gavinschnitzel

    Someone let him know OJ enhances.

  16. JNerdGaming

    nba players 🤝 ruining their careers on ig live

  17. PlasmaHeat

    Surprised to not see more people concerned about his mental health in general rather than just attributing it to drugs. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a mix of both issues, but this outburst is reminding me a lot of the one Caleb Swanigan (RIP) had several years ago.

  18. basher505

    Wow way to show support for a teammate that might be dealing with a substance issue.

  19. Affectionate_Box5435

    I need to hit my molly plug up lmao

  20. IKIR115

    Oh damn i thought the vid was going to be something minor but dude is tweaking at 100mph.

  21. HessiXD

    Why do people assume he has mental health issues and needs immediate psychiatric help?

    Yea, he is extremely stupid as an employee of the NBA to get on IG live while under the control of a substance.

    However, I’m sure that basically 90% of the people in the NBA do a lot of drugs in the off season. I don’t think he needs mental help but he needs his agent to be real and tell him how dumb he is.

    I will never understand why people- especially anyone in the public eye- willingly tell on themselves using social media. The need to share intimate thoughts and private moments with strangers at the risk of looking stupid or fucking up your money just makes no sense to me.

  23. magicmvj

    Are the hornets trying to break the record for most jackasses/idiots assembled on a single team?

  24. RamoLLah

    Remember, you are allowed to take drugs they say you can. Not because one is worse or better. But because you are allowed

  25. rowdydawg14

    So a dude took too much and they unfollowed him. Did they also unfollow the dude who was sober and beat the shit out of his so?

  26. HibachiTyme

    Dude seemed crazy asf before the drugs kicked in

  27. BobanTheGiant

    STAY OFF THE INSTAGRAM LIVEEEEEEE!

  28. imnotknox

    Lost the bag over a pink Tesla sheeeeeesh

  29. AlbrechtSchoenheiser

    He looks, moves and sounds like he is rolling on MDMA or something similar.

  30. electricHats75

    That’s hate. Have your man’s back. He’s going through something

  31. SamVilian1893

    Another attack of social media goes wrong with stupid people.. good thing

  32. sawooot

    People saying that drugs or alcohol were not a factor are nuts. This was drug induced, whether legal or illegal drugs is a fair question.

  33. NoWayNotThisAgain

    Ngl. Train wreck franchise. If it’s not the players, it’s the front office or ownership.

  34. DaveyDukes

    Bro has his AC set to 67 and he is sweatin!

  35. Afronominal
