JJ Reddick is correct and I feel the same way. What did the young man do wrong other than be black? White people can carry guns all day but the black man is the one who losses all his money for carrying?
It makes no sense.
Shannon Sharpe says Ja Morant is not hard. “You’re not gangsta, you’re not hood.. stop pretending, you’re worth $200M”

It makes no sense.
The NBA does. It have this code of conduct
I’d like to know the name of this hoe so we can officially tell to her to shut da fuck up.
This is like the time they asked Ja Rule his thoughts on 9/11
This is like the time they asked Ja Rule his thoughts on 9/11
Is that how the ask ja rule thing started?
Yes lol
Yes he was on MTV and they asked him about his thoughts on 9/11
Show me a white athlete or actor riding round in a vehicle waving a gun. Or in the strip club with their gun out. If you can't please shut up with the white folks carry guns bullshit. Yes they take goofy family pics in front of Christmas trees with their AR-15s IN THEIR HOMES. But ain't none of them in the clubs or riding round with Billy pulling it out. If Ja was taking pics at his home with his guns their would be no issues
Taking the gun in the club was wrong but nothing wrong with having a gun in your car or showing it on instagram.
You're living up to your name.
Then have the nerve to say this. This is the reason it's a. Issue, "Code of Conduct" so stop with your not breaking the law talk.
NBA agents ‘livid’ at Grizzlies star Ja Morant for ‘tarnishing’ entire league’s reputation
Story by Paolo Songco • FridayJa Morant has left more than a few people in and around the NBA enraged by his inexplicable decision to brandish a gun on an IG Live stream. This came just two months after he suffered the dire consequences of being involved in the exact same thing. Needless to say, the Memphis Grizzlies superstar did not learn his lesson the first time around.
According to NBA insider Tim MacMahon of ESPN, Morant’s actions have had a significant impact across the league. Speaking recently on the Basketball Illuminati podcast, MacMahon detailed how sports agents from around the NBA have been aggrieved by Ja’s brash actions:
“I’m curious what stance [the players association] might take, I’ve talked to agents of other superstar players and they’re pissed off too,” MacMahon said (h/t NBA on Reddit). “Because this is not just a bad look for Ja Morant. This is not just a bad look for the Memphis Grizzlies. This reflects poorly on the entire league.”
“I’m talking to an agent of another superstar and he’s like ‘Man, this really taints the image of the whole league. I’ve got my clients who are doing everything right, who are never sniffing any kind of trouble. Positive members of their community. So on and so forth, but then the perception is going to be ‘Look at this fool who thinks playing with guns on Instagram Live is cool.”
“So the players’ association thing will be interesting because it’s not just the league office, it’s not just the Memphis Grizzlies. Other teams are livid about this and other agents are livid about this because they feel it reflects poorly on everybody.”
As MacMahon said, it’s not just Ja Morant’s reputation and future in the league that he has put at stake here. Given that he’s widely considered to be one of the faces of the NBA, everything he does reflects back on everyone else in the league. This is exactly how the sports agents feel about this situation, and they clearly aren’t happy with how Morant has been going about his business of late.

The sad part about all of this is the fact that JA doesn't give a fuck!
He didn’t brake any laws or code of conduct. So what is suspending him for 50 plus games for. I get him getting criticized for it but how is it a 25 to 50 game suspension?
Ja was suspended for "Conduct detrimental to the league".
What does conduct detrimental to the League mean in the NBA?
In layman’s terms, conduct detrimental means a player has become a major nuisance or a distraction that is taking away from the team in which the athlete plays on or the league as a whole. This is most often associated with something behavioral, but it can also be as a form of action as well. Conduct detrimental occurs across all leagues and workplaces, but this is what it means in the NBA.Adam Silver stated:
Lastly, it's legal to be naked in your house. It's also legal to film yourself naked in your house.
It's also legal to have sex with consenting adults. If Ja decides he wants to fuck women on camera and shows the vids on Pornohub that's his decision and it's legal.
But the league might have a problem with that.
He did more than carry fuckin guns
Did you forget the Finishline incident, beating up a juvenile or the gun laser beam at the pacers bus?
I agree with everything you have said in this thread.
Just speaking on why black men seem to get punished so harshly
Don’t get me wrong I agree with you. I was just conversing on black men getting the harshest penalties
WTF this gotta do with a black man getting the harshest pentalties when dude is grown enough to know right from wrong but chose not to give a fuck about doing shit that could jeopardize his NBA career. Some of you dudes stay making excuses for JA and wonder why they don't change because of them being coddled all the damn time.

I'm with you. We do. But I don't think this is 1 of those cases. If Baker Mayfield was doing the same thing he'd get the same smoke
‘TERRORIZED’ STRIPPERS AT DENVER CLUB SAY THEY ARE STILL WAITING ON JA MORANT’S APOLOGY
The strippers present at Shotgun Willie’s gentleman’s club, the location of Ja Morant’s first gun incident, are still awaiting an apology from the star guard.
The New York Post detailed the dancers as “terrorized.”
“I don’t foresee an apology [anytime] soon,” one stripper stated. “He’s a boy.”
She added, “He’s clearly begging for attention and trying to be a baller. He should be banned from all clubs and get his NBA career taken away given our country’s current circumstances on gun violence.”
During Morant’s time at the strip club in March, he flashed a gun and received private dances. In his two-night run at the strip club, Morant is believed to have spent over $50,000 in tips.
A second dancer said, “I just wonder how he’s still on the team.”
Last week, Ja Morant issued a statement after being suspended by the Memphis Grizzlies for flashing another gun on Instagram Live.
“I know I’ve disappointed a lot of people who have supported me,” Morant said in a statement to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. “This is a journey and I recognize there is more work to do. My words may not mean much right now, but I take full accountability for my actions. I’m committed to continuing to work on myself.”
Appearing in an interview with ESPN’s Malika Andrews before the NBA Draft lottery, league commissioner Adam Silver gave his reactions to the Ja Morant news over the weekend.
The Memphis Grizzlies have already suspended Morant from team activities, but there are believed to be more issues on the way for the star guard.
During the interview, Silver stated he was “shocked.”
“Honestly, I was shocked when I saw this weekend that video,” Silver said. “Now, we’re in the process of investigating it, and we’ll figure out exactly what happened to the best we can. The video is a bit grainy and all that, but I’m assuming the worst.”
After Morant’s first event, Silver issued an eight-game suspension and conversed with the guard. In Tuesday’s (May. 16) interview, Silver revealed more of his conversation at that time. “Frankly, most of our conversation as about how incredibly serious the first incident was of waving a firearm on social media.”
These stupid bitches weren’t terrified when all them dollars were raining down on them . Trash ass cunts

These athletes are weird as fuck with these dumb cryptic tweets. Just tell the world the truth and go on about your day.
These players are fucked up in the head that they say stupid shit at times. Had he not started showing his guns on social media waving it then none of this shit would've caught any attention. So, this is all his fault for catching all this heat doing dumb shit.
Maaaaaaaaan
If they don’t get this made-for-tv movie shit outtaheuh!
If it’s really about a welfare check they would remove all the guns in his home. Publicity stunt like a MF. Even if he does eat a gun that ninja has ever means to get help and chooses not two.Looking like an exhausted giraffe.
Idk but what I realize about this whole debacle is some Black people are fighting against the proliferation of the hood/street nigga image that is so prevalent in the culture. And anyone excusing the behavior is capitulating to the idea that his behavior and image was ok and right.
