A couple days of counseling and a retroactive suspension. Glad to see all parties involved are taking this so seriously.

It's a fantastic move PR wise. Just claim mental health and you'll get the defenders saying "hey man, it's a real issue man, they're human too man, they should take no responsibility for their actions because it's beyond their control man" and bam, problem solved.

For sure this will happen again. It's too easy to do.

So, if true, he can assault a teen and brandish a weapon on him, threaten a security guard, have him and his friends point lasers at Pacers staff scaring them and threatening them with the threat of possible violence, and irresponsibly handle a weapon in a club, and he only gets 5 more games than Killian Hayes for a shove to the back of Moe Wagners head?

Yeah, this is stupid. It makes no sense and now Ja knows he can get away with more. I knew the counseling thing was just fake PR. He probably just went down to Miami to go clubbing with the Latina's at the beaches and now he'll just be more covert in the future. Look for his name to be in the news for more stupidity soon. I'm afraid he's really going to hurt somebody, or worse. I hope that's not the case, but I don't think he'll be learning any lessons from this one. Just being honest.

I also forgot to mention that Mo Bamba got 4 games for a fake nothing burger of a fight with Austin Rivers as well after Rivers walked all the way up to Bamba on the bench for no reason.

So he'll receive an EIGHT game suspension for exercising his 2nd amendment rights?!

The NBA is now WOKE and SJW (I couldn't put SJW in more all-caps).

I'm a 2A advocate. What he's doing is not responsible gun ownership and makes the rest of us look bad. You do not handle a weapon the way he did in that video. And you cannot brandish your weapon the way he allegedly did on that teenager, you also do not point your weapon at Pacers staff if what they said was correct.

All of those are illegal. Guns are used for many things, but if you're going to use it in the situations he was in, it better have been for self defense purposes. Otherwise, those were all illegal. The one in the nightclub technically wasn't illegal, it was just stupid and irresponsible. He seems to be using it as a status symbol to flex on Instagram. Which is dumb.

Woj is painful to listen to. It’s like he can’t speak for than five words at a time without an extended pause.

How old are you? Because Stern would've suspended him way longer. Was the league woke then too? :lol:
