No one cares to be honest. JA was on track to be a billionaire. Just a shame that’s all. Whoever he’s rolling with will get sick of his games eventually and he will be on the news as a statistic
Re: Ja Morant on video flashing another gun
[QUOTE=AirBonner;14776985]Ja lost $40million the first time. This guy needs [B]real prison[/B][/QUOTE]
Chill. He hasn't committed any serious crimes that we're aware of. He just apparently lacks any sense of rational judgment, which is scary. I hope he receives some form of help before it's too late.
You lose money, get suspended, get counseling, and yet you're still here, flashing guns that got you into trouble in the first place.
There's no thought behind his actions. It's just act and let what's done be done. This is the thought process of self-destruction. At this point, I don't even believe he cares about his career in the NBA. Sadly, it seems that career is headed swiftly down the drain. Unreal...

[QUOTE=Mask the Embiid;14776993]We all know it’s a race thing but if we just flat out say that people will get so offended they will just shut down and refuse to even entertain that’s the reason. So it’s no point
I’m sure if it was jokic doing this (with the same gun history)listening to slipknot, people would be just as outraged. I’m 100% sure lol….ok now I’m out[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=FultzNationRISE;14776990]Nobody here is upset thats hes holding a gun. It’s the woke NBA who made that a no-go, not ISH.
People here are just clowning him for how dumb he is to post a video of it after he got sanctioned already.
You and Mask arguing against things nobody said, trying to deflect this to some kind of racial/political thing when nobody is making it that.
It’s a “Ja Morant Is Stupid” thing and thats it.[/QUOTE]
I don’t want to fight with any of y’all. Y’all have fun using your little coded words like “thug” ect.
You win

You're creating a dilemma that doesn't need to be made.
Who here is defending people that post pictures of their hunts? This is not a hunting forum, it's an NBA forum. So we are talking about an NBA player, not random hunters. Both realities and scenarios can be stupid. You're just bringing that up because you feel like Ja is being unjustly persecuted. I can assure you, he is not.

A thug can be anyone. If you want to associate that word with Black people, then that's on you.
Imagine being held down by a word and at you're own doing too. Crazy.

Yeah, trying to pin this on race is not gonna fly. Him being black is irrelevant to the idiocy of his decisions. If Chris Andersen or Jason Williams did the same thing they'd be criticized for being stupid and try hard wanksta's too.
Re: Ja Morant on video flashing another gun
I didn’t make it anything. It just is what it is. Someone who looks like Ja holds an AR on social media he’s trying to be a thug gangsta and so on. Someone who looks like Kyle Korver might well be shooting a campaign poster. He can do it with the same model that killed 22 people that morning. He can put it all over social media. And he will win too.
People from every walk of life show guns on social media. Only ones who look a certain way are generally portrayed as trying to be gangstas and thugs.
Generally black and Hispanics….thugs. White guys? Different language. Dudes in here talking about he needs to be in jail….

Cringe.
Re: Ja Morant on video flashing another gun
[QUOTE=SouBeachTalents;14776974]He's not a fake wannabe wanksta like Ja, but he's a pretty cringe pseudo-intellectual who thinks he's MUCH smarter than he really is :lol Believing the earth is flat goes beyond not being a sellout.
And I made the comparison because I think there are a lot of similarities between the two, even if the circumstances are different. I'm not going to revise VERY recent history like you and pretend the guy hasn't demanded to be traded literally multiple times, straight up left his team for weeks for no reason/to attend birthday parties, and has burned bridges with every single team he's been on. Acting like Kyrie hasn't been a total locker room nuisance for years now is absolutely ridiculous :lol[/QUOTE]
Kyrie is probably the most skilled scorer point guard of all time. I'm a Curry fan and I've seen him embarrass Curry H2H.
He just isn't into the mainstream narratives. He's an actual free thinking individual. The whole flat earth thing is just a meme to discredit him by the media. It's going over your head that he is just mocking sheep with stuff like that.
Either way... kyrie probably has an IQ of like 115. Ja has an IQ in the 80s. If you ever hear them speak off their vocabulary alone you'd see that is apparent.

I don't understand why you're so intent on proving some tangential point about race.
If the same individual were white and had committed all the acts that Ja has, we'd be saying the same things. You can introduce race into any subject to divert from the main point. This isn't a topic about race; it's a topic about an NBA player jeopardizing his career by behaving irresponsibly.
If you genuinely believe all the actions Ja has taken are acceptable, then that reflects your moral compass. However, the NBA, with its codes of conduct, deems it unacceptable. Ja plays in the NBA, which is why this is a problem. If he weren't in the league, we wouldn't be discussing him. He would simply be another individual behaving recklessly to garner some form of attention.

I agree, Kyrie is both a better player than Ja and much more intelligent. That doesn't change my main point though, that despite those differences, like Ja, he's also been a huge off the court distraction for his teams, and was frankly a toxic presence in Boston & esp Brooklyn.
