The Ja Morant Situation Just Got Worse



The Ja Morant Situation Just Got Worse

Johnar returned from his 25 game suspension to a horrible Grizzlies team they faced the Pelicans who had just won four straight and were down 19 at half but jaw exploded for 27 points and the game was tied with 9 seconds to go then jaw was all alone with the pel’s best

Defender on him and hit the game winner the NBA script writers did it again the perfect ending but his jaw ran to the locker room he screamed a m message that had the media asking questions I can’t receive I can’t rece Someone caught you on camera saying I keep receipts yeah

Can you elaborate on that and secondly what was your I feel like it’s self-explanatory yeah I remember everything that was said so does John not think he did anything wrong or did some media people step over the line in their criticism well the next day on first take instead of just discussing

How great jaw was on the court they had a a huge argument but he’s making it sound like they didn’t do anything wrong but it’s he got suspended twice and he lined to and he lied he say he do anything wrong well I mean when you say I’m keeping receipts that’s an

Indication that you got wronged by people in the NBA he get wronged he got suspended twice and he lied to the commissioner not I don’t think that’s an indication that he got wronged I just think that’s how athletes are built doggy so was he claiming the victim or

Just being an athlete using motivation well the reason Jay will could wouldn’t admit he was playing the victim there is because that would be Unthinkable how does a guy flash a gun at a strip club get suspended and say I’m sorry I’m going to take some time away and get

Help and work on learning better methods to deal with my stress then after 2 weeks away he goes on national TV and acts like a changed man feel so no I was constantly you know talking to therapist um I’ve been doing you know Ricky treatment um I’ve been doing anxiety

Breathing whoa counseling Ricky treatment this sounds like a serious issue but 5 weeks later he flashes another gun on IG live what are we doing not only did jaah release another I’m sorry statement he lost a power a sponsorship got suspended 25 games if jaw thinks he did nothing wrong Jay will

Can’t even admit it but guess what something terrible just happened that looks really bad for Jo but first today’s video is sponsored by Underdog fantasy I am playing Underdog almost every single night because win or lose it makes whatever game I am watching that night a lot more fun and my

Favorite game to play is pick them you pick higher or lower with the stats available on your favorite players and you can up to 20x your money on a single night so let’s take a look at my two picks first up is Kade Cunningham’s points look I know it’s the Pistons but

They’re playing the Brooklyn Nets who are just allowing a ton of points to point guards even Dante Divan chenzo just scored 23 against them and then it’s poo banero he has been going off lately we’re going to go higher on his points they’re playing the Wizards and

Best of luck if you are tailing those picks check out this map to see if Underdog is available in your area but always use the promo code am Hoops not only will it double your first deposit up to 100 bucks but it really helps out the channel That is promo code am Hoops

Thanks to Underdog first of all what were the rece that he kept if you look at all the national media people most of them just want jaw to succeed they said please don’t throw away your career just to look cool the closest thing to a hater I could find was Charles Barkley

First of all you’re not a the you’re not a criminal you’re not a crook you’re a guy making $100 million a year to dribble us 200 200 million to dribble a stupid basketball that was it now I’m sure you can find some random dude somewhere saying terrible things but I’m

Talking the big media people Shannon sharp was apparently the worst and all he said was this again is somebody else somebody from the back seat passed up a toy gun what grown ass man you know play with toy guns I am sure that jaw wants Shannon to back him up cuz they’re both

Pro athletes and not call him out for lying but then jaw’s dad went on the radio tarant did an interview and when asked if they changed anyone in their Inner Circle he said no I was shocked not even Devonte pack who was with jaw when he beat up a teenager and flashed a

Gun was banned from entering the Grizz Arena he got in a verbal altercation with the Pacers and players said a red laser was pointed at them from a car with JW and Devonte that guy is still in the circle but hold up this could be overblown the media takes one little

Sound bite puts it in a headline for clicks I mean the interview was 20 minutes long with tar maybe it wasn’t that bad so I listened to the whole thing to make sure and it’s even worse than they said when you really didn’t really do anything wrong but a crime to

Humanity because of the kids that look up there that’s the only thing he did wrong but we in Memphis he had a gun okay that’s not a crime not a crime no one said it was a crime he wasn’t suspended for owning a gun he was

Flashing the gun at a strip club then did it again after he was suspended if he did nothing wrong then why did he go to counseling and get Ricky treatment remember that everybody knows it was a bad decision but it wasn’t a crime it’s people doing worse things in the league

So J get punish more than them why okay on this one he actually has a point there is no doubt T is talking about the Josh giddy situation evidence suggests giddy slept with an underage girl and has not been suspended the girl’s parents are refusing to cooperate with

Police but that shouldn’t matter NBA don’t you take things into your own hands and they don’t even need a crime to have been committed but to look at someone else and say that’s not fair you are playing the victim so then the interviewer asks him does jaw want to be

The face of the NBA cuz if he does the standard is different uh Magic and bird MJ LeBron but now jaw’s in the mix of maybe being that guy so he does understand that expectation correct yeah he definitely does but but an this what crime did he commit when your dad is

Telling you that you are a victim and it wasn’t that bad it is really hard to change your behavior but let’s be honest so far jaw hasn’t done anything else wrong all he has done is ball out and lead the Grizzlies to win since he came

Back but if you were building a team around a young star you would have to take this into account since jaw’s been out other guys have stepped up Tyrese halberton taking another leap Tyrese Maxie will be an Allstar and if you build around jaw you have no idea what

Could happen next he has a history of acting out and has changed nothing so the first young player I would build around is Luca donic already led to the West finals but luuka was already number one number two is Edwards his team is in first place yet but not many

22-year-olds can step into a locker room with vets like Carl Anthony towns and Rudy goar and be the undoubted alpha and in the playoffs he’s electric like J but ant’s behavior issues are not bright red flags like waving a gun around number three is Victor Wim nyama look I know

That’s shocking but he’s still 19 years old Vick’s ceiling is actually Beyond Alca I’ll probably regret putting him at three very soon below him Tyrese halberton he is proven to be one of the best passers in the MBA and clutch in back-to-back tournament games he had game winners over the Bucks and Celtics

He’s been going through a slump the past seven games which for him means 18 points and 12 assists I do think the defenses are going to key on Tyrese as the league finds out but I would build my team around him over jawar now below jaw I got Zion who I’ll probably regret

Later but he can be the best player in the world then it’s a mix of guys who I rank by their ability to be a number one and a winning player now this list is not set in stone I’m sure it’ll look dumb years from now but like Zion I

Don’t know if jaw will be available in the future the critic said can he fulfill his potential if he keeps going down this road and J said I am keeping receipts and have learned nothing but another guy in the spotlight is James Harden dude was the biggest villain in

The NBA but has the Clippers rolling however James Harden is doing it yet again

Ja Morant has been great since coming back for the Grizzlies but recent comments have been concerning. His father went on a radio show and said things that make you wonder if Ja actually learned anything from the last 9 months. With that in mind, how many young players would you take over Ja Morant if starting a franchise today?

  1. A.M. Hoops is the best reporter on YouTube. He is way less biased than other reporters and is more reliable on informing you what is really going on in the NBA. Keep up the good work, Casey.

  2. Iā€™ll be honest I donā€™t care. He shouldnā€™t have been suspended at all. Also giddy shouldnā€™t be punished either. All of this bs suspending Ja was just pc bs gone wrong. If you didnā€™t commit any crimes itā€™s not even wrong. Itā€™s just something some of you donā€™t like. Who gives a damn what you like?

  3. Bruh Ja looking sad. At this point I dont see how he can be the face of the league. Saying ish like i keep receipts, like what??? What are talking about. But players who are faces of the league dont have to talk, they just do. And you do and say dumb ish.

  4. Both his parents, his ā€œfriendsā€, the grizzlies, nba, silver, the culture are all enablers.

  5. Ja Morant didn't do anything wrong. He showed a gun on IG to look cool…. He wasn't brandishing a weapon to threaten anyone. Does it make him look good? No. But let's think about other shit happening in the league right now….. Josh Giddey is fucking minors, Draymond is physically assaulting people on the regular, Miles Bridges committing FELONY domestic abuse. The list goes on. KPJ Felony Assault, James Bouknight (in possession of a fire-arm while intoxicated – an actual crime), Montrezl Harrell (felony Drug Trafficking), Jaxon Hayes (Felony Assault).

    But Ja showed that he had a gun on IG. All the kids watching Ja are also seeing the rest of that shit. If you play ball well enough, you can beat the fuck out of women and no one cares.

  6. Wait but like u realize that Iā€™m actually like so superior to Ja Morant right šŸ™ I mean like in the context of just being like exceptional šŸ™

  7. The first gun incident WAS a crime. The police let him off because he was rich and famous. If you or I did that, we be spending a bit of time in prison, or at the very least have community service and 3 years of probation. Which then WOULDVE made the 2nd incident a crime too.

  8. He doesnā€™t have a point. branching a weapon in public is absolutely a crime even if you have a CCW. Stop pointing fingers at other people and stand on business.

  9. Ja's behavior is unpredictable. He's overhyped ego, along the bad company and a father turned into a groupie, it will be difficult for the NBA to put him as the face of the league. However, ANT has a better chance to do so. It's more difficult, because in these times young guys are not prepare to handle large amounts of streess, nor are capable to withstand critics. The NBA should change into a team driven league and stop forcing the "face of the league" argument, since it's starting to backfire.

  10. An immature father will raise an immature son. It's only a matter of time before he does something stupid again.

  11. He's not Going to overcome this adversity, You can tell he still needs a lot of growing to do
    He's bigger than basketball, that's why it's important for him to act right.
    Giddy is nowhere near the kernel that ja is.
    Ja doesn't need therapy he needs a can of act right

  12. the amount of people who have taken this simple statement and twisted it when it's obvious he's using it to fuel himself and his fans is actually crazy. Yall are nitpicking at this point šŸ˜­

  13. Man he clearly hasn't taken any self-responsibility and it just shows that he doesn't deserve to be "that guy"… there's plenty of other candidates that can score 30 a night who the kids should look up to… let him be the fake gangster he wants to be and move on NBA!!!

  14. Ja is in the mix of being the face of the NBA?!? Really? Why? Because heā€™s athletic? How about Luka who has broken more records in the few yrs heā€™s been in the NBA than anyone else? Just yesterday he became the 1st player to reach 10,000 pts scored in such a short span of timeā€¦how about the Joker who won 2 MVPs in a row (the 3rd was stolen), won a championship crushing the best teams and becoming the MVP of the finals!!! And JA is in the mix?!

  15. You can argue ant is worse than ja as a young player if u seen the text he and his ex I think that conversation or the Josh giddey situation where a white player slept with a underage girl and no suspension vs a black player flashing a gun not hurting nobody Iā€™m not saying I suppose ja the optic of this looks bad for the leauge
