Update: Ja Morant Suspended 8 Games by NBA (Could return to court Wed 3/22)

[ChiCitySPORTS#1]

This compounded with the laser thing with the pacers and whatever else he keeps doing is a problem. If that laser story ends up being true, they’re going to go hard on him. They don’t tolerate any guns

[City of Trees]

I wouldn't be surprised to see the NBA hand down a suspension on top of the Grizzlies team punishment.

[Meeksology]

Eh, Ja gonna learn the hard way.

He gonna be alright.

NBA fans having a melt down on the internet like he's a mix between Tupac and Aaron Hernandez.

Lol.

He's a young athlete and he's a little bit of a wild boy and he don't know how to be discreet.

If he wanna be outside, he need to have private parties with no cellphones and no guns.

He got the money, he can have all the fun he wants.

Stop fronting. No one ever compared him to tupac, get real. If anything the whole world comparing him to Clarence.

Good decision by Grizzlies. I'm sick of those princesses never facing any consequences for their actions.

This fake gangster thing is hilarious. Can we start calling him Clarence? I’m sure players are having a field day with how dumb he makes himself look

I am waiting for that to be a chant in the playoffs. It has to happen.

What's the deal with this Clarence story? Please explain to me, I don't get the joke.

Lost in all this is he’s the leader of the team and they’re supposed to be gearing up for the playoffs … and even take the gun out of it, he’s up late with some shady characters partying. His competitors aren’t doing that. Gianni’s isn’t, Jokic isn’t, Durant isn’t. They’re dialed into the game.

Ja isnt.

[DrCoach]

Ja and Memphis are slowly spiraling

The truth lies somwhere in between the melt down crowd and you it seems

No he is not an Aaron Hernandez... BUT

-The lasers/gun in the car towards the Pacers

-Fighting a kid then showing up with a gun in his waistband

-Flashing a gun on live

-Wanting to catch a security guard after their shift

I'm sure there's more, but that was reported in like the last 3 weeks man

I mean... athletes that need an adrenaline rush get into stupid stuff.

He got 200 million something dollars and he don't know how to deal with the power and privileges that money brings. He might never learn.

But the overeaction is ridiculous and suspicious.

Lol, he's playing in Memphis. This isn't Utah. If he was in boring ass Utah doing this, I would be like, "Okay this is extra, go workout."

But he's in Memphis, Tennessee, there's a lot of trouble you can get into if you go places and you wanna have a gun to feel safe. And he's still young and stupid and most likely didn't grow up with guns as everyday thing, so he treats it like a toy.

He probably need his family to live with him 24/7 and get rid of his friends. He's enjoying being the bad guy a little too much and he don't got any vets on his team to tell him how to live as an NBA athlete and how to deal with the down time.

He's probably bored more than anything, lol, he don't act like no gangster or thug or whatever people trying to put on him just because he gets into fights and points lasers at people.

Not everybody gonna be Lebron, who came into the NBA with a plan and goal and a team of like-minded guys to protect him.

Ja probably just wanted to make the league to take care of his kid and he's done that.

David Stern would have slapped fake thug Morant with a 20 suspension as he tried with his full effort to shed the thug image from the NBA

Adams should step in and do the same.

It's a reference to movie 8 Mile with Eminem. He's in a rap battle with a guy who's been acting like he came up tough. Eminem calls him out for his privaleged upbringing and acting gangsta

"But I know something about you
You went to Cranbrook, that's a private school
What's the matter, dawg? You embarrassed?
This guy's a gangster? His real name's Clarence
And Clarence lives at home with both parents
And Clarence' parents have a real good marriage"

He's more likely to try to convince us Ja is being unfairly singled out or w/e.

It's from the movie 8 mile. Eminem has a rap battle with a dude who acts hard but is from the suburbs and calls him Clarence.

[Dubnation]

Bro doing the reverse 8 mile

Clarence? :lol"

I've had enough of his posts. Time to add him to the foe list lol

[MambaVenom24]

Pretty strong move, especially when the guy is the best player on the team.

I'm actually shocked they're doing anything, but kudos to them.

guys guys please, stop the beat a minute, I got something to say, the best player on the grizzlies and the de facto leader is desmond bane, why isn't anyone jumping in the bandwagon? refugees welcome

I am joking all the time with my friends about the subject but on a serious note I had Bane having a better career overall compared to Morant because sooner or later he is going to break our hearts like derrick rose, and break 3 ankles or something on a dunk . If you add this moronic behaviour in the mix it will happen sooner than I predicted

[SpreeChokeJob]

His dad behaves like he still in high school so not surprised.
