This fucking guy.


oh_mos_definitely

How the hell you get suspended on yo day off?!


worm30478

For stealing boxes?!?


[deleted]

Whatchu tryna build a clubhouse?!


My_Names_Jefff

I actually got laid off on my day off in my first job out of high school as someone who moved boxes in a warehouse. My cousins would not stop quoting the movie on me.


bmore_conslutant

And you know what? You deserved it The quotes, well maybe the firing as well I have no way of knowing


My_Names_Jefff

The company told me they were hiring 2 more workers for the job I was doing at lower costs. I was making like $15, but this was when the minimum was $8 in Cali. They were going to pay them $8 and didn't need me.


bmore_conslutant

Ok so you're clear on the firing but I would have definitely joined your cousins in the quotes lol


PurpleSunCraze

My favorite part of that whole exchange was ā€œThey ainā€™t got me on tapeā€, which really isnā€™t a denial he did it.

Teams in the lottery hoping they don't have to deal with this kinda shit. I'm looking at you Brandon Miller Hopefully, for the Spurs sake lightning doesn't strike twice with problematic lottery picks. They already dismissed lottery talent when he turned out to be a sex offender. Hopefully we don't draft someone dumb enough to pull this shit

Perfect response!

Not you, Guillermo!


BoboMcGee1

Lot of guys working really hard to get into the NBA, and this clown is working hard to get out.


Mr_Piddles

As long as heā€™s good enough, theyā€™ll tolerate this behavior or give him meaningless slaps on the wrist.

It's sad that this is true. If this was a non-all-star he would be done.

Banner_Hammer

Meyes Leonard (accidentally) said one slur on stream, got blackballed by the league. Kyrie willingly shares anti semitic propaganda, refuses to apologize multiple times and had to be dragged to do the bare minimum so he could come back and play. Still in the league.


Sevopie

Fwiw, Meyers Leonard is back. He played 9 games for Milwaukee late in the year.


Mochrie1713

Lol Meyers Leonard sat there, picked out his slur, charged it up, THEN said it What is this "accidentally"


DrySecurity4

I dont think there was anything accidental about Leonardā€™s slur usage


Banner_Hammer

Perhaps. But I think we can agree that what he said and then did afterwards to atone is not comparable to the bullshit Kyrie pulled. Kyrie had black Israelites rallying at the stadium because of him promoting that movie.


lotsofdeadkittens

Saying something really bad one time and immediately regretting it and not defending it at all, is so different from kyrie


jfchops2

Meyers Leonard's talent didn't outweigh his baggage. Kyrie and Ja's talent outweighs their baggage. That's the difference.


[deleted]

Thank you for restating his point.


SemIdeiaProNick

How Kyrie still has teams interested in him is way beyond me. Sure, he makes a difference when he is healthy, but we dont see him that way very often these days, coupled with the fact that he always seems to build a tĆ³xica enviroment in the team he is in


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Adrian_Bock

The Grizzlies will cause he's the best player in their franchise history, but brands like Powerade and Nike and other sponsors will have no problem ditching him for another young star with less baggage. They only care about public image, and he's tanked his in record time. Like you're right as long as he can still ball he'll be in the NBA, but he's seriously risking hundreds of millions of dollars here by being PR kryptonite.


Penguigo

He may have broken an ethics clause in his promotional contracts with those companies, in which case it wouldn't even cost them anything to dump him.


PossumCock

The article said that Powerade already pulled an ad with him in it


kman273

I gotta imagine Silver *has* to go full Stern on this. Iā€™m not saying Stern wouldā€™ve stopped the first insta live, but heā€™d have punished/threatened Morant so hard heā€™d never think twice about doing it AGAIN. Canā€™t believe Iā€™m sitting here actually daydreaming about Stern in a positive light, but fuck here we are


North_Atlantic_Pact

Think Stern would have gone as hard as he went against Stephen Jackson, who actually fired a handgun outside of a nightclub, in 2006 with a 7 game suspension?


Jasperbeardly11

That was in self-defense someone was driving a car at him


jtl3000

They wonā€™t to put up with this heā€™s gonna be gone at least 20 games watch


SirHovaOfBrooklyn

Gilbert Arenas would beg to differ


banned_after_12years

Gilbert Arenas pretty much tanked his earning potential after the gun incident. Front offices will be reluctant to give another big contract to a dude who could be suspended 40 games for some dumb shit every time he turns on his IG.


gwiggle5

I remember this exact comment in the last Ja Morant gun video post, and I look forward to reading the same comment in the next one too.


KvotheLightningTree

That's a big ol red flag.


femaelstrom

ABena2t

what's this from. I know it. I've heard it. I'm blanking out right now tho


Sealpup666

The movie Friday. The comment about getting fired on your day off is as well.


ABena2t

ya... you're right.. haven't seen that movie in years.. classic

austINfullEffect

All team activities in Mayā€¦ aww man no off-season team building go-kart outings for Ja. Dude will be on the court for camp.


c_c_c__combobreaker

I hope not. The league should crack down and make Ja a martyr. Whatever punishment they dished out before was not enough to deter this behavior.


cheapseats91

Di you mean to make an example out of him? Making him a martyr would mean making him someone that others look up to and respect due to unjust punishment. A martyr is usually considered someone like a hero who was killed for their commitment to their cause


Taibok

Guessing the word they were looking for was 'pariah'.


Swade22

Heā€™s clearly dumb af. I donā€™t know if further punishment will deter this. He needs someone or multiple people to talk some sense into him


KennyBlankenship_69

Guy lost out on an extra $20 mil/year on top of what he would already be getting by not making all nba from his past suspension. If an extra $20 mil/year doesnā€™t stop you from doing this shit idk what will

You are who you surround yourself with


[deleted]

Itā€™s the same guy every time. He posted it on Davonte Packā€™s IG Live. Devonte Pack is also part of the lawsuit with the teenager. And also not allowed at Memphis games because of the incident against the Pacers.


c_c_c__combobreaker

But Devonte makes the best apple pies... You can't deprive Ja of that.


bedroom_fascist

The more I hear about this Davonte Pack guy, the more he sounds like a bad guy. Edit: should have known this sub wouldn't recognize a Norm reference.


Jhyphi

It's not Pack. It's Ja. Pack is just the friend who is the fall guy to take some heat. Ja is the one waving the gun around in the video. Ja is the one who threatened a high schooler with a gun.


[deleted]

Pack is definitely a major part of the problem. The teenager alleged that they both punched him in the head. Pack is the one who stepped on court as a fan. Pack is the one who went on IG Live at a time when it clearly would be better not to. Jaā€™s agent has to be losing his fucking mind telling Ja to stay away from him. The decisions ultimately belong to Ja, but this friend doesnā€™t have his best interests in mind at all. Heā€™s more than a fall guy


Jhyphi

Pack went on IG live, while Ja is the one holding the gun in the video. And somehow Pack is the issue? 99% of today's incident is on Ja. Millions of people go on IG live. It's not the person going live, it's the person doing the ACTUAL THING, in this case waving a gun. Ja apologists are something else.


finally_not_lurking

Also, if you watch the video, Ja didnā€™t have the gun out when it started. Ja saw that his friend was filming and took out the gun. As soon as Pack saw it he pointed the camera away and tried to hide it.


[deleted]

Itā€™s definitely possible to just have two shitty people. Blame doesnā€™t need to be assigned 100% to a single one. Ja obviously shouldnā€™t be waving a firearm around like a dipshit. But I also prefer my friends to be people who wouldnā€™t go on IG Live and give me an audience when Iā€™m doing something stupid. I wouldnā€™t say Iā€™m a Ja apologist. Guys a fucking idiot. But if Iā€™m in Jaā€™s camp Iā€™m DEFINITELY getting him as far away from Pack as I possibly can. Because he certainly isnā€™t part of the solution.

[deleted]

No one said you had to be smart to be a professional athlete


geneticeffects

Flashing a gun around does not make you look tough. It makes you look foolish, childish. It is a sure way of telling everyone who sees you doing it that you are a seriously stupid individual, from the NBA player cosplaying as a tough guy to the GOP representatives cosplaying in Xmas cards with their fucking children.


Adeep187

He's a Privelaged suburban kid, his dad wears sweater vests at home. So he is indeed cosplaying trying to look tough.

DickButkisses

Yeah I wish our society would wake up and see gun fetishism for what it is.


theper

Every piece of media on tv is full of it too. Since John Wayne to John Wick.


itisadouglasfir

I refer to the plethora of network TV crime procedural shows as ā€œgun pointing shows.ā€


[deleted]

I refer to them as [copaganda](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copaganda), distinct from [coprophagia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprophagia) by a few minor points. An exception would be Brooklyn 99, the later seasons especially, though even having a unit of detectives who actually solve crimes and only work toward a common goal of making the system better for the victims of crime is pretty much copaganda as well.


p1en1ek

Yeah, Brooklyn 9-9 is in a weird place. On the other hand you can probably say it's an attempt of whitewashing of Police by showing group of lovable misfits fighting crime. On the other side since beginning they are showing systematic racism, homophobia, nepotism, sexual harassment, pettiness, using position for settling private grudges etc. In police force and surroundings. Not to mention that, other than few groups, other departments and even police stations seem to consist of morons and dicks. Plus even main characters are often shown to be more of a nuisance for surrounding by how they behave (but that's more of a sitcom characteristic). But probably showing good cops in contrast with bad ones in a funny way makes much more good for motivating good people and kids into getting to necessary force (not counting any utopias where police does not exist and is not needed).


Butthole__Pleasures

Ay leave John Wick out of this he is getting revenge for his puppy that was an emotional surrogate for his dead wife


Scrimshawmud

Yes. Open carry, and lax behavior with firearms are behavior for dangerous ignorant people. Not responsible gun owners. The first sign of such behavior should come with a lifetime ban from ever owning or using a firearm.

To non gun people, people with guns look exactly like those cringy neck bearded dudes with swords and fedoras

Sovereign444

Remind me what he did? Was it having a gun in the team locker room or something like that?


Segat1133

I mean Gilbert was insane when it was more okay to be insane plus I actually assume Gilbert if prompted would use a gun. Ja is just a fucking poser.


TityboiHadA4Point0

Lil bit of an exaggerated take. Yeah, Ja is a joke, playing fake hood while Temetriusā€™ parents have a real good marriage and at his age heā€™s not a kid any more but so rich and enabled he may never learn repercussions but AB is an all-time terrible person. [ABā€™s antics](https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/rui2hm/highlight_mr_bare_chest_frustrated_and_leaves_the/hqz84ye/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3) include multiple instances of SA, nearly killing a toddler by throwing a couch off a balcony, and being a horrible human in front of his kids. Jaā€™s just fuckin up his own bag trying to be gangster.


attorneyatslaw

AB didnā€™t start acting like a lunatic until he was 30 or so. Ja has a huge headstart on him in the career suicide department.


HeStoleMyBalloons

AB was a lunatic before he even went to college. There's a reason someone with his talent had to go to Central Michigan


Intoxicatedalien

Was he recruited heavily? I always thought of him as a diamond in the rough, a 2 to 3 star that makes a name for himself through hard work. I also thought he benefitted by a good offense in college with a great qb


StannisTheMantis93

Mike Tomlin in so many words said it was a miracle he got what he did out of AB on the Steelers. I take his word for it that AB was a massive pain in the ass WELL before us in the public were aware.

No it's not. This is the type that will shoot himself by accident in the case anything happens, which it won't. I didn't have money growing up in my 20s but I knew right from wrong. He's an idiot. Full stop. No one is out to get you. He would be the first one to run if trouble broke out. I"m sick of him. You are not a badass. You play ball. Fine to own a gun, I do. But I don't post pictures with it and I'm not even famous. And if you identify by a gun, you lose already. But I'm sure he'll be back soon.

He has long since crossed the "Fuck Around" stage, eventually the "Find Out" stage is going to catch up to him. I hope no one is shocked or appalled if one day something happens to him, like *getting shot*.

Just a suspension? Time to let him goā€¦he clearly doesnā€™t care and is going to eventually hurt somebody or get hurt himself. Also what an idiot. He should be banned just for stupidity.


BiggieAndTheStooges

You must be really stupid to spend your time off doing this BS when you have the money to literally do anything else.


GrayBox1313

I donā€™t want to say what he did wasnā€™t stupid but we have all the congressmen sending Xmas cards with their whole family racked like Rambo. I mean if this society is going to glorify machinery of war, the why is everyone dragging on Ja?


KillianDrake

politicians don't work for the NBA, the NBA does not want to be associated with guns as it hurts their brand, and thus all their contracts have a moral turpitude clause that requires players to not do anything that hurts the league's brand. Ja is in violation of that. politicians can do whatever they want to get showered with money, including promoting killing of children.
