FIRST THINGS FIRST | Nick Wright reacts Ja Morant’s 34 Pts, hits buzzer-beater in first game back

  1. didnt ja clearly say nobody called him during his suspension? lol….i kept receipts is in reference to that AND the player rankings i believe. As nick said, him showing a firearm has nothing to do with his basketball skill so Ja feels slighted i think.

  2. Ja…combination of T-Mac, Vince Carter, Grant Hill, D. Rose & Michael Jordan. He will be the next FACE of the NBA. Will be the GOAT in 10 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Nick, I love you but the kept receipts take was fucking garbage just like every other sports pundit that talk shit about Ja saying that!!

  4. People will so soon stop talking about this just like they stop talking about DeShaun Watson DeShaun Watson off the field issues. Just like the Boston Celtics ex head coach. We don't even talk about them anymore

  5. “I kept receipts” is him basically saying he remembers the media folks saying players like jalen Brunson, Tyrese Maxey, shai, etc.. are better then him now
    It’s not that deep lol

  6. Kept receipts lol 😆 🤣 😂 i dont get these dudes ,you did something wrong you get punished,thats life get over it lol .Also ja morant needs to improve on the outside shot because obviously when most of your shots are at the rim and not even midrange you gonna have a better percentage shooting but he is small and in the playoffs that will not be allowed by the best teams

  7. Nick is right. Look at the Draymond situation (which is different scenarios but similar in terms of reaction in society). Draymond, once again, does something foolish that is hurting his team, gets suspended, and the first thing they do in the media is create panels of guys talking about how they would love to have a Draymond on their team. When these NBA, NFL, MLB guys do foolish things they deserve all of the heat for the moment. Not hate, but heat. They need to take it because they are the models for our youth. If we let them get off, without proving change, then we are showing our kids that they mimic behavior. Not acceptable. But Ja looks good. Hopefully he can follow through

  8. Ja is an amazing amazing player and he's the one the Pelicans should have drafted. That being said, why would u keep receipts? On what? The whole league supported you and former players gave u solid advice from the bottom of their hearts. Everyone said u were a good guy, a star, but needed to mature and be careful who u hung out with. What's to be revengeful about that? Anyway, I'm a huge fan. I hope you surround yourself with people who truly care about you. I just wish Jason Tatum had half of your fire because if he did, he'd be the best player and the face of the league. And for the first time ever, I actually agreed with Nick on his take 😆

  9. Ja is an immature child. He is the same child who will attack innocent ppl and pretend to bang. Most likely just off camera.. I say most likely because this isn't even close to his first strike 😂😂😂

  10. Glad Nick said what he said about Ja’s comments on keeping receipts. As far as I’m concerned, Ja should still be suspended. He did everything you’re NOT supposed to do with a gun, REPEATEDLY in different fashions.

    Ja got drunk with a gun and IG live
    Ja assaulted a minor and a gun was involved
    Ja lil group of guys aimed lasers at fellow athletes that can only be described as gun lasers
    Ja brought a gun on a plane
    Ja waiving the gun around aimlessly

    I am not a gun lover nor am I a gun hater

    I am neutral

    However, everything that Ja did with the guns are legitimate reasons as to why people are divided on people owning guns. People can get political all the way and they are right to a degree. Anytime a gun rights get together is happening, you don’t see people waving their guns around, getting drunk with them. Aiming them at others like Ja has done.

    All of Silvers statements always kept including “Ja has this massive following”. Translations: Ja is money and the more we suspend him, we lose money. That’s all Silver was concerned about. Nothing else. He might be concerned to a degree about the impact of a lengthy suspension but at the end of the day, Ja lied multiple times to the organization, the team, the league and SILVER himself. Then we see Ja do stupid shit on social media acting like he was signing off for good. He played Silvers hand and he has played everyone else into believing Ja has come back a changed man

    People really need to start understanding some of these players come into the league DELUSIONAL. There’s a difference in being confident and DELUSIONAL. Ja just proved he is still immature by yelling “I kept receipts”. Receipts of what? People criticizing you and the reckless, immature behavior Nick pointed to? Like it doesn’t make any logical sense. Ja will probably get suspended again cause I don’t believe there is any changed behavior or maturity that has taken place. HE POSTED AN APOLOGY USING CHATGPT instead of writing one his own. Anything he says is from the PR team. So nothing can be taken seriously with Ja

  11. Yeah I think Ja was talking about people thinking to teams season was over cuz of the suspension. And him saying watch what we do.

  12. I simply don’t agree with Nick, he flashed guns never intending to harm anyone, people post pictures all the time with guns especially during hunting season, but because he’s black “it’s a bad example”, talk about the weird implied stuff, the NBA had to ask Ja’s people not to sue as they didn’t really have grounds to even suspend him at first .. so yeah weird stuff

  13. I'm waiting for Josh giddy immature behavior to let him get suspended oh wait I forgot he is white and its different lmaooooo the double standards for a black man and between a white man lol Josh giddy have to stop playing with young girls 🤔🤔

  14. Ja has a horrible attitude. Plain and simple. Dude screwed himself over. He deserved all of the criticism
