There’s More to This Ja Morant Celebration Than Meets the Eye



There’s More to This Ja Morant Celebration Than Meets the Eye

During the grizzlies’ win over the New Orleans Pelicans star player johnar did a celebration unfortunately many have rushed to crucify Morant as it appears his festive Nature Made reference to a firearm because of his history one that is fraught with appear appearing multiple times with Firearms like here

In a Colorado nightclub then after getting penalized by the league for doing so on Instagram live Morant flashed a piece yet again his friend who was driving immediately put the phone down to try and protect Morant but it was too little too late ja would be

Suspended 25 games by the NBA now this latest celebration has left many in the association circles frustrated bro what are what are you what are you doing bro stop playing with fire we are paying attention we are watching you guys are 3 and 0 before that celebration you guys

Were three and0 so you have everybody watching the world is watching your fans are watching the NBA is watching don’t do anything that got anything with any kind of arms my brother stop it not only did you shoot the gun you had a bazooka ready to go too you got to relax man

Possibly the greatest six-man in the league has seen Lou Williams spoke on it when I seen a dunk before I heard anybody’s response in my brain I said I know this just a pull the P the battle rap pistol out know go tried to switch it I seen this in my brain I’m

Like this just pull the battle R pistol out you know battle rap he did a quick battle rap date [ __ ] when the locker go to your Head it’s mad imaginary battle weighed in showing his disbelief it’s nothing meaning anything I mean he took his shot no pun intended and he uh got his team his team which was already rolling I don’t think he’s trying to mock anybody I don’t think he’s trying to be mean about it

Um yeah leave J Mor jar alone J leave him alone former NBA player John Sally rushed to jaw’s defense and we’re laughing because it’s it’s it’s so shocking that we’re even talking about him doing possibly the slightest thing gun related at this point everything he’s done and you can see he almost

Catches himself like he’s and then he like kind of turns into something else you got to grow up you got why are we talking about this you are your team is four and0 you’ve been unbelievable you’ve now been probably forgiven to to a certain point why are you giving us

Anything like this to even talk about how what else has to happen for you and your family and your friends to learn like just just make this about basketball make this about your life make this about your livelihood and stop doing things like this and ex-nba player

In Memphis Grizzly Chan Le Parsons gave his two cents here’s the Counterpoint some criticized that Morant was doing too much but actually it was the critics who were doing too much here Morant was poking fun at the Pelicans by doing a dance that was straight out of Louisiana

It’s called The Rock youro hips dance and locals they knew exactly what it was which is why the rly star styled on them with the dance in the first place now Morant confirmed the dance with the post on X after the game lesson here is maybe before you criticize an athlete

Celebration you just might want to be a bit more informed about the culture around the celebration instead of just assuming well put here by Dexter Henry so what is the dance via commercial appeals to Michael Cole Morant was doing the rocky hips dance that has been popularized in New Orleans by

Influencers sub tweet Sean and Tey Sean then put out this video what’s popping man it’s your Bo to Sean um I’ve been seeing like all these post and stuff about J marant you know his celebration the dance he was doing it was not a gun celebration he was doing the rock your

Hips dance you feel what I’m saying he also tweeted the lyrics from the song It’s a song created by me and teasy uh Rocky hips and then he did the dance you know after he D or whatever shout out Bobby for KI uh but yeah I just want to

Let y’all know man that was not a gun celebration that was a dance it was synonymous with New Orleans he did it on the New Orleans team and like I said we are the creators you feel what I’m saying so make sure y’all push in this video and stop pushing on F narrative

Bro the initial video posted by TZ and sea was in July on Tik Tok it did numbers and caught on locally Perle once more the dance includes a dip inside to side rock while stretching the arms and hands out before shaking them to the beat remember this is a team in the pel

Who chose Zion over jamaran from ESP nation’s James detour so by dropping the Rocka hips morance celebrated his big play made a reference to his opponent and poked fun at the Pelicans as passing on him all in a single motion are the Optics a little off perhaps should jaw

Be a little more careful how his actions could be interpreted maybe but ultimately people are being just a little too sensitive to look for negative connotations and everything instead of accepting that maybe they just don’t get it

  1. Brah, that's not the rock yo hips dance. Stop trippin, google the dance, I did because I was hoping this was that. It wasn't. LOL he even had the recoil motion. It would be nice to give the brotha the benefit of the doubt but he did get caught gripping a strap after apologizing for gripping a strap.

  2. Thats nowhere the dance lil man. You know wtf he was doing. Kuds an idiot with no impulse control. Stop trying to make shit up to cover for his stupidity. Hopefully he figures it out

  3. Man Rick your investigating report research is out of this world man you be on your shi* that is forsure awesome!!!

  4. You have a white guy touching on lil girls and still playing for his team and yall worried about a kid doing a celebration? Open a book and stop watching tv cuz you’re being brainwashed like the rest of us

  5. Well everybody from Russell Westbrook to a lot of NBA players always do the knife crossing the neck sometimes when the game is over…leave JA alone I know what he needs to do is get rid of that friend that keeps filming him😅😅

  6. The 2:40 part in away is a defense. It comes off as if Ja didnt intend to do that. He had a natural reaction and caught himself and tried to correct it.

  7. Fuck what y’all talking about.. what crime did he commit nun so stfu and find somebody else to try to bring down cause this ain’t it

  8. This ain't rocket science. He will not win this argument. No matter what it was he has no business even remotely associating himself with a gun!!! FA and FO!!! Dance or no, if he keeps pokin the bear he will be kicked out of the league.

  9. Jesus he’s a grown ass man leave him alone he did nothing wrong just celebrating having fun 😡👍🏿

  10. Doesnt matter the dance or who hevwa rep'n ,he shouldnt be making ANY gesture that even remotely looks like shooting guns.This is where Ja is in this point early in his career.Ja put that spotlight on himself.Now you got a microscope on you for anything that looks acting/motioning weapon oriented…plenty of celebrations and other dances without the fingers out.Just refrain from any finger gestures…He still in the Hot Seat

  11. If you can't look back at the last 20 years and see a correlation between youth gun violence especially in inner cities and prominent rappers embellishing about killing and gun violence and prominent people supporting the rappers embellishing said killings and gun violence, you have cognitive dissonance and don't want the truth.

  12. He's too young, too rich, and too good. He's going to ride that line, because he can. In the end, this is a business. I'm sure the power to be will do what's in the best interest in making money.
