Welp buddy got caught holding another gun on live video.
This is a perfect example of why harsher consequences need to be given rather than game suspensions. And especially ONE WEEK of counseling?? That didn’t do anything and it’s obvious.
It’s a ###* shame that this guy is a role model for kids wanting to play in the NBA. Just awful.

......for losing to the Lakers in the playoffs.
He obviously has a gun fettish like so many in this country that got rid of their wives to sleep with their AR-15's.
As for the kids. If they want to play basketball.....then they should play to be the best they can.......not to be like anyone. Parents...this where you do your jobs.

No.
I don’t throw this word around because of potential racial conflict, but he really is being a thug. Really doesn’t matter about the color of his skin, if any player did this it’s the same. Sorry if I offended anyone. I understand the culture of Memphis and what they are about, but come on man at least keep the guns out of sight.
Parents can only do so much, but in 20 years NBA players will be doing whatever they want. Including college players as well.

Thugs can be any color.

Todays society is interwoven with guns, videos, drugs and social media makes a toxic stew. I really hope Morant can get things going in the right direction as well as the not so famous people out there.

It’s really tough for him personally. You’re asking someone to basically switch and change their outward personality. This is why more than a couple weeks of counseling is needed.
But NBA players have always had to calm down and mature. I really hope Lebron or one of the greats reaches out to him to explain the consequences.
I think his friend didn’t mean to film it, but Ja is handling a gun. And would’ve gotten away with it if it wasn’t seen.

The shame is that an athlete, or movie star, is considered a role model. They are usually the worst example of morals and ethics

When the gangster lifestyle is not only tolerated

but celebrated in urban America, this is what you get. Black friends that are successful all have stories about being called Uncle Tom because they made something of themselves. You have athletes lying about being from the hood, when in reality they came from the burbs. But it is cool to be from the hood apparently because it gives you street cred. Why? Because instead of that lifestyle being demonized, it is celebrated and glorified.
That mentality is the leading cause of death in black men under 30 years old in this country, but it rarely is talked about. Ja is one of the most electric players that I have seen in years, but he is going to throw it all away. Also, if he flashes that gun to the wrong person, he is going to end up getting killed. Hopefully, someone helps him get right and he is able to unfuck himself.
