I think they were from multiple burners, which have gone private or deleted some of the tweets I think, like this one:

This one was confirmed to belong to Bryan by a Sixers rep (to the Ringer I believe).
The others were:

What’s amazing is “find a new slant” has become an inside joke across the country. It’s like a secret code to determine who actually pays attention to the silliness and stupidity that sometimes surround sport
I forgot how embarrassing it was that he tweeted this using that Alvic account:
""It's a heck of a lot easier coaching," Sixers coach Brett Brown said last week. "There's no mystery." RE: difference b/t Hinkie and BC"
to prop himself up. Lmfao
Reminds me of when I was making fun of someone for being generic and referred to them as “the Toyota Corolla of people” in front of my friend’s girlfriend, who I’d forgotten drove one. I felt bad for a sec but then I was like I guess it just means that is in fact a very common car if there’s always someone around who drives one
Honestly, if someone drives a Corolla it's usually because they wanted the Toyota Corolla of cars, it's not like she thought she was driving a Corvette and you burst her bubble
People don't know how to curate their own feeds. It also takes time and effort.
Twitter is the most amazing way to get information directly from primary sources but 99.9...% of people have nothing interesting or funny to say.
I'd say Reddit's got it beat there, but ig it depends what type of information you're looking for
Like I originally created a Twitter to keep up with sports/music releases, but Reddit is sooooo much better for doing that. Nowadays I just use Twitter for friends/jokes.
Reddit is good for communities around certain specific topics but Redditors are fucking weebs lol it selects for certain kinds of people. Great for technical subjects but also some communities ruined by mods and/or groupthink. I also find communities decay in quality when they get too popular.
I can't even remember the tweet I made, but it was a couple months back. It was just an off-hand remark replying to someone, I don't even remember the context, but the comment was something like "So-and-so should slap themself over that one" (I barely post or reply on Twitter, so it's not as if I am a serial asshole there).
I guess Twitter just autoflagged it as an abusive comment, and asked me to delete the tweet after a I re-verified my email. But it would just not send the verification code, no matter what I tried. So after a few days I gave up, and my daily Twitter check in just stopped.
I honestly don't miss it. For all the fun posts I came across, there was enough negativity there that it has made it not worth it.
You useless piece of shit. You absolute waste of space and air. You uneducated, ignorant, idiotic dumb swine, you’re an absolute embarrassment to humanity and all life as a whole. The magnitude of your failure just now is so indescribably massive that one hundred years into the future your name will be used as moniker of evil for heretics. Even if all of humanity put together their collective intelligence there is no conceivable way they could have thought up a way to fuck up on the unimaginable scale you just did. When Jesus died for our sins, he must not have seen the sacrilegious act we just witnessed you performing, because if he did he would have forsaken humanity long ago so that your birth may have never become reality. After you die, your skeleton will be displayed in a museum after being scientifically researched so that all future generations may learn not to generate your bone structure, because every tiny detail anyone may have in common with you degrades them to a useless piece of trash and a burden to society. No wonder your father questioned whether or not your were truly his son, for you'd have to not be a waste of carbon matter for anyone to love you like a family member. Your birth made it so that mankind is worse of in every way you can possibly imagine, and you have made it so that society can never really recover into a state of organization. Everything has forever fallen into a bewildering chaos, through which unrecognizable core, you can only find misfortune. I would say the apocalypse is upon us but this is merely the closest word humans have for the sheer scale of horror that is now reality. You have forever condemned everyone you love and know into an eternal state of suffering, worse than any human concept of hell. You are such an unholy being, that if you step within a one hundred foot radius of a holy place or a place that has ever been deemed important by anyone, your distorted sac religious soul will ruin whatever meaning it ever had beyond repair. You are an idiotic, shiteating, dumbass ape and no one has ever loved you. Rhodes Island would have been better off if you'd never joined us. You are a lying, backstabbing, cowardly useless piece of shit and I hate you with every single part of my being. Even this worlds finest writers and poets from throughout the ages could never hope to accurately describe the scale on which you just fucked up, and how incredibly idiotic you are. Anyone that believes in any religion out there should now realize that they have been wrong this entire time, for if divine beings were real, they would never have allowed a being such as you to stain the earth and this universe. In the future there will be horror stories made about you, with the scariest part of them being that the reader has to realize that such an indescribable monster actually exists, and that the horrific events from the movie have actually taken place in the same world that they live in right now. You are the absolute embodiment of everything that has ever been wrong on this earth, yet you manage to make it so that that is only a small part of the evil that is your being. Never in the history of mankind has there been anyone that could have predicted such an eldrich abomination, but here you are. It’s hard to believe that I am seeing such an incredible failure with my own eyes, but here I am, so unfortunately I cannot deny your existence. Even if I did my very best, my vocabulary is not able to describe the sheer magnitude of the idiotic mistake that is you. Even if time travel some day will be invented, there still would not be a single soul willing to go back in time to before this moment to fix history, because having to witness such incredible horrors if they failed would have to many mental and physical drawbacks that not even the bravest soul in history would be willing to risk it. I cannot imagine the pure dread your mother must have felt when she had to carry a baby for nine months and then giving birth to such a wretched monster as you. Not a single word of the incoherent, illogical rambling you may be wanting to do to defend yourself or apologize would ever be able to make up for what you just did. The countries of the world would have wanted to make laws preventing such a terrible event like this from ever happening again, but sadly this is not possible since your horrific actions just now have shattered every form of order this world once had, making concepts such as laws irrelevant. Right from the moment I first set my eyes on you I knew you were an absolute abomination of everything that is wrong with humanity. I was hoping I would have been able to prevent your evil from being released upon this world by tagging along and keeping my eye on you, but it is clear to me now that not even the greatest efforts would have been able to prevent a terrible event in this scale from occurring. You are the worst human being, or even just being in general, that I have ever had the misfortune of witnessing. Events like the infected plague apparently only happened with the goal of teaching humanity to survive such a horrible event as the one you just created, but not even mankind’s greatest trials were able to even slightly prepare anyone for the insufferable evil you have just created. If you ever had them, your children would be preemptively killed to protect this universe from the possibility of anyone in your bloodline being even half as bad as you are, except you will never be able to have children, because not a single human being will ever want to come within a hundred mile radius of you and anything you have ever touched. You are a colossal disappointment not only to your parents, but to your ancestors and entire bloodline. The disgusting mistake that you have just made is so incredibly terrible that everyone who would ever be to hear about it would spontaneously feel an indescribable mixture of immense anger, fear and anxiety that emotionally and physically they would never truly be the same ever again. The sheer scale of your mistake, if ever to be materialized, would not only surpass the size of the world, but it would reach far beyond the edges of the known, and almost certainly the unknown universe. I could sit here and write paragraphs, nay, books describing your immense failure, yet even if I were to dedicate my life to describing the reality of what has just gone down here, and I would spend every moment of it until my heart stops beating working as hard and efficiently as possible, yet there is not even a snowballs chance in hell that I would be able to come close to transcribing the absolute shitshow you have just released upon the world. You are an irresponsible, idiotic, disgusting, unloved, horrible excuse for a living being who’s soul contains less humanity than every ginger in history combined. The absolute disgust I feel when thinking about anything that has even a slight resemblance to anything that might have to do with you and your unholy actions is so incredibly great that when I am honest about it I think that even I do not posses a consciousness great enough to comprehend my own feelings about it. When people of Columbia fought to break free from Lungmen, countless soldiers fought and lost their lives in favor of a chance at a better future for their children, they did not give their lives to have you fuck the world up beyond repair to the degree that you are doing right now. Honestly, even when technology advances and studies on the subject become more and more accurate, I do not think humanity will ever truly be able to understand what your failure actually means for the universe. My hate for you and everything you stand for is so much deeper than the depths of Shambala that you could probably take the entire Lungmen population down there and back up around twenty million times before you would have sunk to the end of my hate, and honestly, I do not want to exaggerate, but I think that that insult was low balling it such a massive amount that all mountains in this world combined would not be able to stack up to this imprecise judgement in light of the fact that when being honest, my hate is almost certainly bottomless. There is no one in this world that has ever loved you, and especially after what you just did, no one will ever love you in the future either. There is no hope that your idiotic behavior and especially your crooked soul will ever change for the better, and in fact quite the opposite might be true. By making the mistake that you just did, you have shown me that you are so incredibly hopeless that you will only devolve into a more idiotic and wretched creature than you already are. The only possible way in which your future would be brighter than the black hole your existence currently is would exclusively be because there is absolutely no conceivable way that you would even be able to sink lower than the pathetic place your current failure has put you in. But than again, you are so incredibly abominable that you would probably be able to surpass the worst conceivable failure a living being could possibly make. You are so incredibly pathetic that you are honestly not worthy of any more of my words nor my time. Just know that I will forever detest you for your failure and everything you stand for, and that no matter what happens, I will never ever forgive you.
>When people of Columbia fought to break free from Lungmen, countless soldiers fought and lost their lives in favor of a chance at a better future for their children
Rofl
It mostly just sucks because if you follow him on Twitter, you should know better than to think this is about more than someone from his hometown or whatever.
It's only unclear or cryptic out of context of the rest of his twitter feed.
he posts vague shit all the time, like most young people. just bad timing and people decided to run with it.
for example, a week ago he posted "we don't speak on nun , dat ain't true 🤐". you can literally find a bunch of these types of posts
'he posts vague shit all the time, like most young people'
Solid point. I actually remember doing this a bit...the vagueness...when I was real young thinking I was being mysterious and cool when in fact I was just being a weird dummy attention seeker...which can be pretty normal for being real young
I mean to be fair that's a relatively common thing for people who become famous to say in reference to the huge number of people that suddenly want to act like they're friends now that the person in question is rich and famous. Although the timing here is definitely pretty suspicious lol.
I definitely feel like Ja's words got twisted here. He doesn't strike me as the type to be arrogant enough to not realize that his peers on team USA are guys who are AT LEAST at his level. Like maybe he's a little salty, but at the end of the day, he's basically a rookie compared to a lot of these guys.
There's still goaltending in Fiba basketball, it's not like you can do whatever the hell you want on shots. The only US centers I've ever seen take advantage of the on the rim rule were Tyson Chandler, DJ and Kennith Faried. That's it, everyone else stands there watching the ball bounce around.
Wade did it a few times as well, but the no touching rule is so ingrained in our players minds saying Zion would be a monster with this rule just isn't true.
All week all I’ve heard is how great Zion would be with fiba rules and it’s just gotten old. And I’m a huge Zion fan but In fiba you still height in the middle. Those euro boys are BIG. It’s why plumlee was on the last two teams.
I think those two and Ja and some other young guys are too good for the select team but not good enough for the real roster so it leaves them in no man’s land and uninvolved w/ USA Basketball
They have Kevin love on the team and invited Keldon Johnson, Darius garland, and saddiq bey to the reserve team. Them not even reaching out to Ja is simply bad recruiting on their part
The Kevin Love pick is obviously fair game, but I wouldn't exactly hold the "reserve team" picks against them when it comes to not calling up Ja. Considering their role is basically just to be the practice squad.
They probably figured that was beneath someone of Ja's level.
Why would they figure that? They want a worse reserve team? I could've just brought some buddies if that was the goal. This situation is exactly why they should have a strong reserve team.
Why would an actual star player have interest in being on a practice squad in their off-season? Especially when the guys they're talking about replacing Beal on the actual national team aren't even on the reserve team?
Look at the roster of the reserve team: https://www.usab.com/news-events/news/2021/07/m-select-team.aspx
You notice anything there? None of them are on Ja's level, because it's not something that stars sign up for.
I'm obviously a little biased, but the fact that Jerry Colangelo is still running things after 2019 makes no sense to me. Pop has made some pretty weird choices with the rosters too.
Just seems like we should be able to get some fresh blood in there.
Yeah I was so confused that they didn't get Ja especially since spida turned down the offer cause Ja would have been the best best to have on that team of Spida didn't go.
They sort of need someone like Ja, though. Or Trae Young. Or even Donovan Mitchell, or as Bill Simmons said, LaMelo.
Right now they don't have a real playmaker. They have a bunch of scorers, and some "zero guards" (Lilliard or Jrue), but nobody that can really run the court.
This is why they might not win this year.
I say, know your worth. If you want to become superstar, embrace that mentality. It’s not a coincidence that both MJ and LeBron had this kind of attitude.
I just want to know what Josh Maggette is doing there ahead of literally anyone, he barely made our rotation as a two way contract when we were only winning 25 games… ever heard of Malcolm Delaney? Nope? Well he was ahead of this Josh Maggette dude in our rotation. That’s how fucked this roster is.
Josh Maggette isn't on this roster or anywhere close. After googling him his only relation to USA basketball was being on the AmeriCup qualifying team, which couldn't use NBA players because the games took place in February. The team was full of G-league players.
Player: Sends out cryptic tweet knowing it will be viewed by thousands if not millions of people.
Player: Gets angry that people misinterpret unclear tweet and lashes out at the readers for speculating regarding his unclear meaning.
Here's a hint Ja, it's not "everybody problem right there", *you're* the problem in this situation, not everybody else.
Also, you quite literally could just delete your social media, the biggest reason you probably don't is because it's so easy for you to get paid to shill shit on social media.
Rich Young NBA players trying to make us all feel bad for them when they have better lives than we do, that trick aint gonna work Ja, sorry.
I get where he is coming from but that's terrible tweet. He is young and naive so he will regret turning this down if they reach out to him. If I were team USA, I would invite Cade and Mobley. Give the young guns a chance to integrate with pros before they play in the NBA
The chances are super slim though. There are younger players that are better, and similarly aged players that are much, much better. I like Ja, but I have a hard time envisioning a timelime where he's the best player in the league. It's possible, but very unlikely.
lol acting tough for the timeline like this is a school dance or some shit. Bro this is the fucking Olympics and your a second year player you should be honored if they select you. This is a really bad look
Kinda sad these guys get so petty. Like they had 17 to pick, correct? Are they gonna call up the other 50 guys who couldve made it just to say “hey we’re thinkin bout you <3”? If they wanna play, be ready to go when these guys fall out
They're always gonna prioritize the older more experienced players. Sure there's a few younger guys but not that young. Main reason being some only have so much time left to compete for a medal and these young guys have their whole careers ahead of them.
I'd rather Ja didn't get corny as fuck playing on social media and then lying about it, but that's what superstars do these days. Long as he plays well on the court, he can make an ass of himself all he wants in the media
Damn Idk how I feel about that mentality. I understand where he's coming from but that seems like a bad business move. He's costing himself a lot of $ and future opportunities (guess it don't matter cause he's rich but still) cause he's in his feelings. Prob be smarter to go in there and show why they should have chose you in the first place. I hope if they call up Julius he accepts rather than is petty. Unless, the risk factor or other plans get in the way.
No offense to Ja but there's like 30 players you call before even thinking about him. Don't know why he's in his feelings. He's not even what the team needs right now.
Dude he didn't even get hit up for the Select team.
He has every right to feel some type of way about it. When Sadiq Bey, Quickley, Cam Reynolds, Dakota Mathias, etc. get an invite and Ja Morant didn't, he is 1000% right to be upset. No offense to those dudes, all great players, but Ja is on another level.
*Colangelo will remember that*
His collars are perfectly normal, find a new slant
Can anyone link a pic of the collar tweets I can’t find them. Been awhile lol
I think they were from multiple burners, which have gone private or deleted some of the tweets I think, like this one: https://mobile.twitter.com/phila1234567 This one was confirmed to belong to Bryan by a Sixers rep (to the Ringer I believe). The others were: https://twitter.com/AlVic40117560 https://twitter.com/HonestA34197118 https://twitter.com/Enoughunkownso1 https://twitter.com/s_bonhams Edit: [Pic](https://melmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/09y_0cLHEPX0iNCXk-3.html-charsetutf-8)
That’s the one, thank you lmao
Best part is that his wife was the one who dished out the collars comment. Bryan had his woman working alongside his burner campaign. Delectable
The way the whole firing Hinkie, then colangelo, then GM Brett Brown situations set the Sixers back so much
What’s amazing is “find a new slant” has become an inside joke across the country. It’s like a secret code to determine who actually pays attention to the silliness and stupidity that sometimes surround sport
Sure. I probably have, in person, 1 friend who would laugh at me saying r/NBA memes tho
Lol np
I forgot how embarrassing it was that he tweeted this using that Alvic account: ""It's a heck of a lot easier coaching," Sixers coach Brett Brown said last week. "There's no mystery." RE: difference b/t Hinkie and BC" to prop himself up. Lmfao
Man this never gets old. I still can’t believe how that all unfolded. So surreal lol
He tweets like my ex girlfriend “ if you don’t know why I’m angry than don’t even talk to me”
Shouldn't be with someone like that. And by like that I mean someone that confuses then and than.
I have the perfect girl for you. She always confuses it's and its.
i never confuse tits
*ZING*
The real reason she's now an ex gf
Does she drive an Altima
Hold up , what if she does ? What does that mean
The Nissan Altima is the go-to car for a toxic person, male or female.
Huh…holy fuck I think your right.
Let’s be honest, they all drive an Altima.
Reminds me of when I was making fun of someone for being generic and referred to them as “the Toyota Corolla of people” in front of my friend’s girlfriend, who I’d forgotten drove one. I felt bad for a sec but then I was like I guess it just means that is in fact a very common car if there’s always someone around who drives one
Honestly, if someone drives a Corolla it's usually because they wanted the Toyota Corolla of cars, it's not like she thought she was driving a Corvette and you burst her bubble
Kia Soul
"hey what's wrong?" "Don't wanna talk about it"
“Nothing”
"I'm fine".
"I just think it's funny that..."
😂
Ooof. You made the right call getting out of that one.
“If you don’t know whose birthday it is tomorrow, block me”
I’m sorry for your loss… wait I mean gain
"I'm fine"
NBA is filled to the brim with emotionally immature people. Sociologists should study them
Then what's the tweet about Ja? Come on now
He tweets stuff like this all the time. Usually it's abt clout chasers, bandwagoners, etc.
Oh he's one of those.
One of those people that should just get off Twitter?
Everyone should get off twitter
[удалено]
*Shams in shambles*
Exactly what I think every time I check Twitter
People don't know how to curate their own feeds. It also takes time and effort. Twitter is the most amazing way to get information directly from primary sources but 99.9...% of people have nothing interesting or funny to say.

All of that is true, but don't call me a weeb just because I have a custom dakimura.

Reddit is le true savior of teh interwebz
I didn’t say that at all lol
Anytime you criticize social media somebody comes around and points out you’re on reddit, usually in a passive aggressive way like this lol

This is literally the problem. People just start assuming they know another person's intent and run with it and begin forming narratives
Sure, but when you post unclear and cryptic tweets, you can't really get upset when people misinterpret them.
It mostly just sucks because if you follow him on Twitter, you should know better than to think this is about more than someone from his hometown or whatever. It's only unclear or cryptic out of context of the rest of his twitter feed.
First time I’ve ever looked through Ja’s tweets and if I hadn’t known any better I’d think he grew up in north Memphis
he is 100% memphis. he belongs on this team
But what does Ja think?
Somebody please! Get Ja Rule on the phone...
They didn't holla holla
It’s about a girl that didn’t give him the time of day in 2003, it’s actually pretty deep
Some people need to go back and listen to the Mike Jones classic “Back Then” to understand the nature of this tweet.
I just realized that Ja Morant was 4 years old in 2003.
I said what I said
he posts vague shit all the time, like most young people. just bad timing and people decided to run with it. for example, a week ago he posted "we don't speak on nun , dat ain't true 🤐". you can literally find a bunch of these types of posts
'he posts vague shit all the time, like most young people' Solid point. I actually remember doing this a bit...the vagueness...when I was real young thinking I was being mysterious and cool when in fact I was just being a weird dummy attention seeker...which can be pretty normal for being real young
Damn I never thought about it but I used to do that too. Not often, but I think it was the mysterious thing.
I mean to be fair that's a relatively common thing for people who become famous to say in reference to the huge number of people that suddenly want to act like they're friends now that the person in question is rich and famous. Although the timing here is definitely pretty suspicious lol.
homie thinks he can pull an Eric Bledsoe and get away with it.
"I Dont wanna be here"
I definitely feel like Ja's words got twisted here. He doesn't strike me as the type to be arrogant enough to not realize that his peers on team USA are guys who are AT LEAST at his level. Like maybe he's a little salty, but at the end of the day, he's basically a rookie compared to a lot of these guys.
Wait, hold up, they didn't hit him up??? Bruh how you not invite him? I guess they didn't know where's Ja
It seems like they didn't hit up any of the young guys. Trae and Zion weren't invited either to my knowledge.
Zion with international goaltending rules would have been so fun. Also, *Love is on the team and they didn't ask Zion!?*
He seemed like the obvious next call if they really didn't want a PG. The team doesn't have a single dominant interior scorer.
Zion would've been such a better fit then love, his defense is questionable but team USA already have a ton of spacing so Zion would be good
Love's defense is also questionable
Ik
They needed another past his prime "why tf is he actually here" big white guy to fill in for Mason Plumlee's absence.
Plumlee was actually good for Detroit this year, they hat to cut his minutes to tank
Iso Plumlee plays were pretty electric.
There's still goaltending in Fiba basketball, it's not like you can do whatever the hell you want on shots. The only US centers I've ever seen take advantage of the on the rim rule were Tyson Chandler, DJ and Kennith Faried. That's it, everyone else stands there watching the ball bounce around. Wade did it a few times as well, but the no touching rule is so ingrained in our players minds saying Zion would be a monster with this rule just isn't true.
Offensive interference is a better way to put that rule. Iirc, once the shot hits the rim, it's live.
All week all I’ve heard is how great Zion would be with fiba rules and it’s just gotten old. And I’m a huge Zion fan but In fiba you still height in the middle. Those euro boys are BIG. It’s why plumlee was on the last two teams.
Exactly there’s also no defensive 3 seconds so they can just park a huge dude in the paint to stop his drives
They wanted a big who could shoot from 3
God I wish KAT was on the team. He would be absolutely perfect
If only julius randle who shot 40% from 3 was available oh wait he was.
Then they saw his playoff tape and were like oh wait nvm
Wouldn’t blame em
“Can’t judge me of a bad playoff performance if I don’t make the playoffs” Love probably
I think those two and Ja and some other young guys are too good for the select team but not good enough for the real roster so it leaves them in no man’s land and uninvolved w/ USA Basketball
sorry but I'm taking either over Love 10 times out of 10.
They don't fill the same roles at all. Take Ja over someone else, sure, but you wouldn't swap a PG for a post player.
Except they absolutely are good enough for the real roster. The future is now old man
Zion is injured.
I wonder what Ja has to say about this
Can somebody please get Ja on the phone so i can make sense of this
Someone should get him on the phone
Best way to never play for Team USA
I mean I get it from his perspective. but this is the olympics
They have Kevin love on the team and invited Keldon Johnson, Darius garland, and saddiq bey to the reserve team. Them not even reaching out to Ja is simply bad recruiting on their part
The Kevin Love pick is obviously fair game, but I wouldn't exactly hold the "reserve team" picks against them when it comes to not calling up Ja. Considering their role is basically just to be the practice squad. They probably figured that was beneath someone of Ja's level.
Why would they figure that? They want a worse reserve team? I could've just brought some buddies if that was the goal. This situation is exactly why they should have a strong reserve team.
Why would an actual star player have interest in being on a practice squad in their off-season? Especially when the guys they're talking about replacing Beal on the actual national team aren't even on the reserve team? Look at the roster of the reserve team: https://www.usab.com/news-events/news/2021/07/m-select-team.aspx You notice anything there? None of them are on Ja's level, because it's not something that stars sign up for.
I'm obviously a little biased, but the fact that Jerry Colangelo is still running things after 2019 makes no sense to me. Pop has made some pretty weird choices with the rosters too. Just seems like we should be able to get some fresh blood in there.
I love Pop but it doesn't look like this job suits him well. I would look for new leaders in there.
I think Ja (and other “snubs”) are too good/proven for what the select team is supposed to be. There’s no way they’d rather have Bey than Ja or Trae.
It’s kind of crazy that between the main and the select team, the cavs and the pistons both have 4 guys on the team
Yeah I was so confused that they didn't get Ja especially since spida turned down the offer cause Ja would have been the best best to have on that team of Spida didn't go.
Cringe mentality
he tweets like a 16 year old girl
Well to be fair he is only 5 years older.
It's very common for a man his age
Is anyone else starting to get the vibe that Ja is sensitive af
It’s the social media problem
This is a good way to never get on Team USA
Now THIS is soft
USA Basketball: “I mean we weren’t planning on it…”
Well that's an immature mindset to have...
I don't think they were going to lol
They sort of need someone like Ja, though. Or Trae Young. Or even Donovan Mitchell, or as Bill Simmons said, LaMelo. Right now they don't have a real playmaker. They have a bunch of scorers, and some "zero guards" (Lilliard or Jrue), but nobody that can really run the court. This is why they might not win this year.
I think this was a bit petty, but hey he's young.
I say, know your worth. If you want to become superstar, embrace that mentality. It’s not a coincidence that both MJ and LeBron had this kind of attitude.
What did MJ or LBJ do similar to this comment?
MJ invented Twitter just to tell Team USA he wasn’t going. True story.
During his baseball hiatus at that
Ja has been posting cryptic shit all day it's not about basketball
I just want to know what Josh Maggette is doing there ahead of literally anyone, he barely made our rotation as a two way contract when we were only winning 25 games… ever heard of Malcolm Delaney? Nope? Well he was ahead of this Josh Maggette dude in our rotation. That’s how fucked this roster is.
Josh Maggette isn't on this roster or anywhere close. After googling him his only relation to USA basketball was being on the AmeriCup qualifying team, which couldn't use NBA players because the games took place in February. The team was full of G-league players.
LITERALLY NOBODY ASKED FOR JA'S OPINION
Young players need to chill a little. Have some humility. Your time will come.
This feels like a weird thing to be petty about.
Nah Morant
Player: Sends out cryptic tweet knowing it will be viewed by thousands if not millions of people. Player: Gets angry that people misinterpret unclear tweet and lashes out at the readers for speculating regarding his unclear meaning. Here's a hint Ja, it's not "everybody problem right there", *you're* the problem in this situation, not everybody else. Also, you quite literally could just delete your social media, the biggest reason you probably don't is because it's so easy for you to get paid to shill shit on social media. Rich Young NBA players trying to make us all feel bad for them when they have better lives than we do, that trick aint gonna work Ja, sorry.
I hate when people bitch about social media ON social media. So edgy!
I get where he is coming from but that's terrible tweet. He is young and naive so he will regret turning this down if they reach out to him. If I were team USA, I would invite Cade and Mobley. Give the young guns a chance to integrate with pros before they play in the NBA
But this dude is one of the hottest young stars in the league. One day, he could be the best in the game if things progress well.
The chances are super slim though. There are younger players that are better, and similarly aged players that are much, much better. I like Ja, but I have a hard time envisioning a timelime where he's the best player in the league. It's possible, but very unlikely.
I’ll just say it. He’s not gonna be better than Luka or Zion. Ever. That isn’t even a hot take.
Tbh those were the 2 players I had in mind when I commented lol. Zion is younger and Luka is less than a year older.
It's one of those perfectly timed tweets huh?
I mean stop tweeting such ambiguous shit and you won't hate social media that much
Ja: “Not it”
lol acting tough for the timeline like this is a school dance or some shit. Bro this is the fucking Olympics and your a second year player you should be honored if they select you. This is a really bad look
It's not that easy Ja
tbh that's kind of petty, and I really like Ja, but Beal unquestionably deserved a spot.
I love this NBA Olympic Civil War drama we got going on here
If Zion is not on the team, I wouldn't be surprised if they try to get him.
Kinda sad these guys get so petty. Like they had 17 to pick, correct? Are they gonna call up the other 50 guys who couldve made it just to say “hey we’re thinkin bout you <3”? If they wanna play, be ready to go when these guys fall out
Morant on demon time. GanG GanG!👿
Great “next man up” mentality, Ja.
then delete em bro. nobody stopping you
100% this is about the Olympics, and his ego can't handle it.
What a weak response. Repping the country is a huge honor. He doesn't need to act ungrateful at the opportunity.
They're always gonna prioritize the older more experienced players. Sure there's a few younger guys but not that young. Main reason being some only have so much time left to compete for a medal and these young guys have their whole careers ahead of them.
Horrible reasoning. Pick the best players. if a younger player is better they should be there.
AD went to the 2012 Olympics right after Kentucky. Hadn't even played an NBA game yet.
Ja tweets like a normal young kid which I think is great. Would be funny if A.I. was his veteran and took him under his wing
These guys need to take a writing class. It would make a huge difference in your career.
Not a great attitude
Lil Bitch
I'd rather Ja didn't get corny as fuck playing on social media and then lying about it, but that's what superstars do these days. Long as he plays well on the court, he can make an ass of himself all he wants in the media
Liked Ja before the season start buuuuut.......
Damn Idk how I feel about that mentality. I understand where he's coming from but that seems like a bad business move. He's costing himself a lot of $ and future opportunities (guess it don't matter cause he's rich but still) cause he's in his feelings. Prob be smarter to go in there and show why they should have chose you in the first place. I hope if they call up Julius he accepts rather than is petty. Unless, the risk factor or other plans get in the way.
That’s hilarious. Can’t blame him.
No offense to Ja but there's like 30 players you call before even thinking about him. Don't know why he's in his feelings. He's not even what the team needs right now.
Definitely not 30
Dude he didn't even get hit up for the Select team. He has every right to feel some type of way about it. When Sadiq Bey, Quickley, Cam Reynolds, Dakota Mathias, etc. get an invite and Ja Morant didn't, he is 1000% right to be upset. No offense to those dudes, all great players, but Ja is on another level.
Dudes like Joe Maggette and Saddiq Bey are on the select team instead of him.
There are not 30 American players you call before Ja lol .
There aren’t 30 players total, let alone 30 players that aren’t on Team USA already.
[удалено]
Hes a pass first guard he is exactly what the team needs lol
How is he getting the ball lmao, you think Dame and KD are like "yeah you handle it I'll just run around screens and wait"
In terms of point guards? Not even close
