Malibu's Most Wanted II staring JA (down with the B**** and H*** )Morant
Ja wants to get suspended so that he can be that dude in the hood 🔥🔥🔥
This coach is an absolute joke ! Your players are out at five in the morning in the road no less , flexing with guns in their hands . There’s no way you guys will win a NBA championship ever with this guy as your coach. 🍿
How this a update I heard this a billion times 😂
Y is shai suspended? When did he show his gun off
What do expect when you give these hood monkeys this kind of money?
Ja def listened to that song, "I'm so hood" by Dj Khaled waay too much.
This ain’t no update
Disrespectful is acting like that when hes a role model. Getting suspended and weakening your team cause you're a moron. Also beating up a minor; let's not forget that.
gun aint probably real anyway. For now on he not gonna get the recongnition he deserves after this inccident and may have to cut his hair. hopefully he'll be back sooner than later and will behave better.
Grizzlies needed a guy like Andre Iguodala on the team
Lets call Ja by his first name when he comes back, Temetrius
Lil boy fake thhhhhhhhuuuuug morant is fine in jail 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ja a clown
It’s gonna be funny when ja comes back 😂
I’m fine In the west
bs update.
The prefrontal cortex, the part of the human brain responsible for making 'rational decisions,' doesn't fully mature until we're about 25 years old.
Before that, we process information with the amygdala, the emotional part of the brain.
Think about it.
Please keep my name out of your mouths ESPN 🔫💨
When he comes back, grow back your eyebrows, change your hair style, and show people you have changed. You keep on making gun signs with your hands after a 3 pointer goes in, and you play reckless. Man, I don't see Ja having a long NBA career. People just don't change. And this leaves a bad taste now. Listen to what Gilbert Arena said. Sucks to be a Grizz fan. We ought to trade Ja and start all over again. Its sad and leaves us with a black eye. Sigh.
No matter what penalties he gets, hope he learns from this. He’s still young, great exciting player. Still rooting for him. He just needs to stop acting like a rap video influenced wanna be thug and part always with your entourage as you owe nothing to them.
Maybe Taylor Jenkins needs a lot of time off to figure out his own issues. He's essentially enabled and encouraged a bunch of very young players to be their worst selves in order to win games. I think it's funny that everyone is calling Memphis to get an adult in the locker room. I thought they had an adult in Jenkins but obviously not. Taylor's a child taking short cuts.
The NBA should suspend him for the rest of the 2022-23 season!!! This is very serious!!! The message that Ja Morant is sending to all the youth across America, shows how much you can disrespect a firearm. We don’t need any more firearm problems and fatalities. His endorsements should walk away from him and the NBA should ban him for the rest of the season! That would give him an opportunity to go live that thug life until mid summer.
I already hate him from day 1. So I am getting a lot of joy with this and will milk it. Yes it is a big deal! He is causing more black violence and he disrespected the 2nd Amendment!! He’s a loser until he proves me wrong!
free ja
What did he do that was illegal? Can you not pose with a gun out in public? There's open carry laws that allows for this. And there's plenty of people who do this and nobody cares. Did he hurt anyone? Did he threaten anyone? Did he kill anyone? No, so who cares. What is he sorry for showing off a gun in public without threatening anyone. I like how the media portrays it like it's a bad thing and without anyone questioning it they all get mind sucked into thinking it's a bad thing without asking what did he do that was actually wrong???
ESPN will kvetch and Pearl clutch and obsess until this young man is in prison and ruined. And he hurt nobody.
Suspend him for the REST OF THE SEASON or 1 YEAR! Gilbert Arenas did it. MAKE AN EXAMPLE!
Ja being picked on for no reason, which law did he break?
"we wanna make sure he's in a great place" meanwhile, he's getting paid 30 mil a yr, guns, drugs, burgers and hoes, amirite merica?
dude ja be like the uk and just point the finger like a gat next time ok
Seems like the grizzlies staff is taking control of the narrative lol using key words to flip the script. Kinda feels like the whole draymond poole situation, step away a couple games all punishment handled internally.
A 50 game suspensión is warranted based on past precedence
If they throw Ja out the league, his old hood gone have the most dope 🤷🏽♂️
The Healing process????? He didn’t hurt or threaten anyone lol This only happens your black I promise. If he was white flashing a gun he would just be a proud American gun owner
Waving a gun?
More like "lookey, a gun"
Glock morant
He ain’t hood he the motha fkn police 👮♀️ fk12
Taylor said it perfectly
How y’all know he don’t got a concealed carry ??? And if he has a license to carry is this still a big problem !! I mean he is American and he has the 2nd amendment no matter how wealthy he is right ?
It’s serious but not to the point that they should take his career away 😑 they acting like he shot or killed somebody if he wanna leave the league or go play somewhere else then he should just do that he should be suspended for a few games and fined
They already gave him a timetable. He's suspended 2 games. Lmao the grizzlies would be ok if this went away tomorrow
It'd sad that when you up everyone jocks and then when one thing happens all the true hate come out… alot of people be haters.. deep in the heart but it will show eventually much love ❤️ and respect to the morant family we ate humans
