Did he get suspended by NBA? I thought he only got suspended by the Grizz. And if he is getting suspended by the Grizz, that means he'll be back for game 1 next season.


Yeah the NBA has given the Grizz the reigns for most of his discipline. They did that for Draymonds punch too. Idk who deals with these situations or the final say anymore, the NBA or the Teams.

I wonder how long Nike will stay with him?

Gotta think they drop him after this, certainly not sticking with him if he does something like this again, which seems likely given his track record

You said it’s accepted by the “white community” and “we cheer” a 3 year old with a gun.

Now if I’m white and liberal it doesn’t count because I point out how you’re completely off base here?

Stop making everything about race. He was told not to do this after the shit in denver and he’s an idiot for doing it again, just like Kristi Noam is an idiot for giving guns to her grand kids


dude is just as racist as hydro

I made a boarder critique on the acceptance of gun culture amongst the white community and their incessant display of their arsenals & guns with no one batting an eye. Mfers be posting 3 year olds holding shotguns & we cheer it on.. but Ja Morant carrying a legal fire arm in a video all of a sudden is this heinous act that requires multi game suspensions? Lmfao

His loss is his brand and mass appeal because unfortunately, they do not look at you as a “right on brother, flash that second amendment right!” They look at you as “wtf is this thug carrying guns for!?!?! Must be illegal & wanna be gangster!!!!!”

He did not “flash his gun at work” he is chillen with his boys in the off season, Wtf are you talking about lmfao.

the way you talk let’s me know you don’t care to understand anything I am saying, using words like gangster & thug & “dumb nigga” to describe him because we all know the code words for that.

Lmfao y’all talk just like that druski posts about sports owners. Sad lmfao


Yeah sorry but you’re literally missing the point.
Who cares about the legality of it.
The NBA has it’s own rules and guidelines and waving a gun around with your homies isn’t what the NBA wants to see you doing, especially on a live stream.
Even if it’s the off-season, he’s still employed and under contract through the NBA…
It’s one thing to take your gun to a shooting range and shoot it but you’re literally driving around with your homies flashing your gun.
Pretty sure you’re not supposed to be flashing your weapon around regardless of what type of carrying permit you have lol.

Lol he’s acting like a 22 year old millionaire that doesn’t have to be held accountable because he gets paid to hoop… but really he hasn’t broken any laws just isn’t playing that role model game y’all want him to play.. it be better for him to play the game for his brand & money but he doesn’t have to… sorry.. lol he isn’t getting arrested or breaking laws so I guess to each their own?..

to me, people are making a bigger deal about it than it is because the only person he’s hurting is his pockets & his mass appeal.. but either way he’s a multimillionaire already so idc..


Would you hold the same sentiment if Brittney Griner took drugs into russia again?

Brittney Griner was the worst trade to ever happen in basketball history.. I would have let her stay in that prison.. Some people in the US forget how corrupt shit is OUTSIDE the US.

Yeah I mean, I know a lot of people here consider me this "pro-black liberal" but when I see a topic that is just being harped on from one side or perspective I have a tendency of taking the other side so people know there is grey.

In reality our posts on here only reflect a small piece of all of our opinions or who we are. So its good.

It’s not accepted, it’s mocked regularly…

That might be the least funny thing I've ever seen. I remember when comedy central was funny
