How you gonna be ushers son and act you from O block?
There are like 5 problems with this live video-
1. None of us are surprised that this happened
2. Ja snuck a gun a club… is this a cowboy club or are Denver clubs bending the rules for Ja?
3. Ja’s iq appears to be so low that his college should be under investigation- he did this on LIVE? Come on don’t tell me this is a mistake.
4.two games seems low considering how many other things are swirling around… they should suspend him until they figure out what the hell is wrong with him
5. Why is he holding that little gun like that? Every time I see someone hold the weapon like that, i Dread they gonna drop it and somehow gonna discharge and kill someone.
Two game is TOO few… Ja a rich man cosplaying as a thug . This risky behavior is going to cost someone their life and the Grizzlies need to get Ja some mental healthcare

All human life on the earth is like grass, and all human glory is like a flower in a field. The grass dries up and its flower falls off, but the Lord’s word endures forever.

He needs a one year ban with a lot of classes on how to be a normal person.

He likely used his money and influence to inflate his grades.
From memory he had good grades prior to the NBA too. Despite acting like a knucklehead, again from memory, he had a very privileged upbringing.

For recklessly handling a firearm in public (illegal) within the same week of reports surfacing of allegedly assaulting and threatening a 17 year old with a gun. Not to mention, the Pacers thing a month ago.
Too many violent incidents in a short period of time.

Cause he dancing with his little baby gun at a club and holding it like it stinks and
it’s generally considered risky behavior to dance with a gun in a club where people drinking.
Having a gun isn’t a crime - being unsafe with it in public is

Re: [SHAMS] Grizzlies officially suspend G Ja Morant for 2 games…
This is disappointing. Ja is the most exciting player in the league on the court. Everybody was excited for the rise of Memphis. This year he's just taken all that good will and set fire to it.
His statement is a good first step, but only if he means it. Threatening mall cops and 17 year old kids, brandishing guns in clubs, these aren't things a well balanced individual does at any age with any income. He needs a serious re-evaluation of his priorities and what constitutes a good life. It obviously doesn't have to be the same as my idea of a good life or yours, but it does need to involve not being an idiot. I hope he finds his way through this, but it could go either way.

Tom Gores' Securus faced a class action lawsuit in 2024. The company engaged in a "quid pro quo kickback scheme" with county jails in Michigan which banned in-person visits in order to maximize revenue from voice and video calls.
