How much of a suspension does he get this time? Last time "indefinite" turned into 8 games. This time? Morant is looking more and more like the next Gilbert Arenas:

I think he gets a year, and if it ever happens again he gets a lifetime ban.

nba is fake news anyway. who cares?

Why post this here? Some of us are here precisely because we don't give a chit about sports.

Definitely NOT the sharpest tool in the shed.

wait ... so, some mummy named their son after the German version of "yes" ...

oh, muh bad ... there's Ja Rule and too many other Jas to count at this point....

I like all the smack ... buy Ja!, you're right ... #whyLivesMatter ...

I’ll just say there’s some type of psychological thing going on here. He comes from a suburban family and never got in trouble before but now he’s fronting and posing that he’s all hard….etc

Was this a brand new incident that he just recently did, or is it from before his first suspension, and just now coming to light? If it’s brand new, then I agree that a harsh suspension is deserved. It would mean he learned nothing so far and was just giving lip service when he said he has to do better.

Second gun flashing incident on social media for this genius.

One would presume a major suspension is to be levied....but who knows what the NBA will tolerate these days from one of their punk young stars?

Self destruction which is part of needing mental health help. Not the spin cycle thing he allegedly did.

From the linked ESPN article- he said he would try to be "more responsible, more smarter and staying away from all the bad decisions."

No mention about being more literate however.

How can we not expect it? That's what popular music, TV and Hollywood tell him a black man is supposed to be.

Just like all the kids who think they are trans now. Its celebrated and gloried at every end of the culture.

If anyone of us point out that its obviously destructive evil we get accused of racism, homophobia, etc and canceled.

Sub 80

Dumbassery in the highest order.

Not a big NBA fan, but this is not a good look for the league or Morant.

The league has a tainted reputation already with a lot of thug / hood / gang behavior on display all the time as it is.

If the "Association" has an ounce of credibility, this should be a minimum 1 year suspension if not even more.

I recently saw a story about this kid's upbringing. The fact that he feels like he needs to assimilate to that behavior to feel accepted says all I need to know about him, the league, and the overall fan base that is attracted to it.

If this kind of stuff continues and grows even more, the NBA will find itself falling out of the mainstream quickly which also means a huge revenue hit. The unintended consequences of this will be the further deterioration of College Basketball. With NIL money up for grabs now, this behavior will quickly flow there as well. You can book it.

Memphis has been instrumental when it comes to shaping America's musical history as it's the Home Of The Blues and the Birthplace of Rock'n'Roll.

These days Memphis is a fairly big player in Rap and, as such, has its share of Rap royalty, so to speak.

I wonder if a 23-year-old kid is getting caught up in the "lifestyle" that he's listened to in songs as he was growing up. And now he's here living the life.


Not saying it's ok. I don't recall hearing anything like this from his Murray State days.

Who? Nevermind.

Next thing you know, Ja will be sending out Christmas cards posing with his AK…

The dummy literally pulled that off of lefty twitter talking point from multiple Memphis "journalists"
