Ja Morant Keeps Digging A Deeper Hole

are like vultures circling around Jaw's cold body. I also break down some news from around the league, including New York Knicks bing Bong and how the perilous future is for the new Brooklyn Nets, especially and particularly Sean Marks. A lot happening, Nick, drop that generic ass beat. I want to talk about basketball. I want to talk about four of the best shot makers on planet Earth going

toe to toe on a Saturday afternoon. I want to talk about Luca and Donchetz and Devin Booker going head to head, face to face, smile to smile at the end of a game. But you know what I have to talk about. I have to talk about one of the best superstars in the league, one of the most electric players in the league bringing a gun and taking off his shirt and going to a strip club after getting his ass handed to him by Yo Kitchen the Denver Nuggets And how did he get that gun to Denver?

I don't want to talk about this. I bet you don't want to hear about this. I bet you don't bet there's twenty five think pieces written about it already for those who have returned from a darkness retreat and don't know what I'm talking about. Jah Morant is I don't even know if it's considered suspension because they didn't say the words suspended. But Ja Morant is going to be away from the Memphis Grizzlies for at least two games. Wow.

He sorts his shit out, and the Grizzly sort their shit out, and certainly the NBA sorts out what they want to do with Jah Morant. Why Because in the same week that a Washington Post article dropped about Jaw flashing a gun, Jaw actually one on his own Instagram live. He did himself, people, He went on his own Instagram live and showed a gun in his own hand to his own face. Why Jaw, Why At like two in the morning of course it was at two in the morning.

What do you think it was at two in the afternoon. No, there was alcohol involved, obviously, and he is in trouble. This is also on the eels of the Indiana Pacers thing where they accused him and his friends pointing a a laser scope gun thing. Adam, I don't even know there were right words, because I don't have guns. That's how you know. I don't know the terms. What is what is going on? Everyone is wayed in. Gilbert Reinas

is weighed in. Gilbert Arenas is a fucking idiot, by the way, Gilberna said, who, by the way, got suspended fifty games for bringing a gun into the locker room. So I'm not gonna say he's the beacon of wisdom here. Thought maybe thought maybe he would have learned from this. Gilbert Arenas's take is the ja moran. We should just pretend we didn't see it. This is real take. That's

his real take. Boogie Cousins, why are all these people you see how it's like it's never never, like Dame Lillard like weighing in on it, you know what I mean? It's like Boogie Cousins. Gilbert Ornus uh, Paul Piers like, people who truthfully shouldn't be weighing in on this are weighing in like that's I guess what makes it funny. Boogey Cousins says, this is why you need a strong veteran presence in your locker room. Someone lobbying for a

job here. Also, Boogey Cousins, I don't know if that's you, right. I'm not sure that that type of person matches up with you and your reputation. Paul Pierce, of all people, also chimed in. God. He says, I don't care what y'all say about jaw. I carried a gun after I was stabbed. Okay, oh god, Uh, we all don't know what he's going through. Everyone got something to say. Until you really know what's going on in someone's life, when you black and rich, you're a target period.

and Gilbert's Arenas and Boogie Cousins have to say. First, the guys who I can really rely on to give me a cogent understanding of all the facts on the ground here. Ah, everyone wants to lecture, Everyone wants to point out what Jaw's doing wrong. People want to pile on fucking columnists. They are vultures, aren't they. They come out of the woodwork. I don't even know what they do,

what they would do without this type of stuff. Like I'm sure Nancy I haven't read one column because why would I. But I am certain that Nancy Armor has a column. I'm certain Christine Brennan has a column. I'm certain Sally Jenkins has a column. That Dan Wolkan, who, by the way, I love I know these people like personally, so it's no shame to them. But Dan Wolkin covers college football. Okay, what does Dan Wolkin need to say about Jahn Morant. Not a damn thing. It's kind of gross,

isn't it. Like when you think about it, they all have some POV about how Jaw is going the wrong direction and how without proper guidance and leadership, and there's always some socioeconomic thing that these yts have to say about it. Right, it's wild. It's when you think about it from that, it's absolutely Bonker's land what we're living in. They just sit around and they wait in a corner somewhere until somebody, some athlete does something bad and then

they have a think piece ready to go. They have no connection to Ja Morant, They have no connection to these streets. They have no connection to being someone who's that young with that much money that quick. And I already said I think Jaw's being an idiot, so that's obvious. But these think piecers they got to get the fuck out of here with that. Also, the person that I did like when he had to say the only person that I think had anything to say good was Jalen Rose.

Let's listen, I am Jahn Morant.

and how to change the dynamics of my family. The one thing that young people have to understand, and in John Moran's case, when you first get drafted, you go from being a member of the family, a member of the crew, to being the leader, to being the bread winner and first and foremost. I hear a lot of people talking about like his family and his crew. When you're the leader, it's on you because you end up searching that lifestyle. You end up wanting to be down.

And what I had to learn is that people come into your life for four reasons. To add, subtract, multiply, or divide. You have to choose wisely. He has way too much to lose. Trust me. I've been that young player carrying a gun and Will Bond alluded to this. When you start waving it, that could get you killed. That that ain't that's that's all. That's an entirely different thing than we're talking about. A superstar athlete should be

putting themselves in position. And as Stephen they mentioned, that's him on the video on his ig live. Ain't nobody coaxing him, Ain't nobody got a uh, Ain't nobody egging him on to do that. That's a personal choice.

his own. It was Jaw who decided allegedly to beat that seventeen year old kid down when the kid threw the basketball at him. It was Jaw flashing the gun on his own Instagram on social media, which is just crazy, Like that decision is just baffling to me, as someone who's made my own share of Instagram live decisions wild. This is wild, and as I say, I say this that Jaw could be the problem, Like Jaw is his own worst enemy. That is an issue that needs to

be addressed. Who he decides to have with them is only augmenting what's going on. I think Jaw is the most exciting player in all of sports, period. End of story. I love Damian Lillard. I think John Moran is the only player I would go to the Capitol One Center to see. It's true, Capitol One is trash. The lighting is horrible, the vibe is awful, parking awful, Chinatown, all of it, all of it. But I said, you know what, I'm gonna go and see Jaw at the Capitol One.

Did I see John? No? I did not. That's a totally different story, a different day. It's a low management discussion. But I was like, you know what, I'm still gonna go. Why just so I can get a glimpse of Jaw in street close. That's how cool and how exciting and how electric Jaw is. You want to know what his vibe is at any given moment, but Jaw clearly has not. Is just the problem, has a problem, and he alludes to it on his statement the pr statement that like

his Olivia Popes put out. He said, I take full responsibility for my actions last night. I'm sorry to my family, teammates, coaches, fans, partners, City of Memphis, and the entire Grizzlies organization for letting you down. But this is the key piece. I'm going to take some time away to get help and work on learning better methods of dealing with stress and my overall well being. Straight out of the Josh Primo pr handbook.

I think that's like basically what he said. I'm gonna take some time away and find some better methods to coping with stress. The keywords get help, learning better methods. It is very clear that Ja Moran has had I don't know if problems is the right statement, but definitely things surrounding alcohol, and it's clearly something that's being used in a way that could be construed as destructive and toxic. It's certainly not new. I remember thinking ooh when I

watched Jaws again. Another Instagram wive, this man wants to broadcast all of his business out on the streets for no reason, clearly being like Ooh, I get drunk, I'm so cool. So he posted on a private plane on the way to Cleveland last year to the All Star Game, his first All Star appearance. I'm watching him not shirtless, but just guzzling a bottle of tequila on the plane with his friends, loud dancing. Fine, but it was like, you're already fucked up, you are already trashed, and you're

taking another bottle of alcohol to the head. Not good. And then he was like, oh, yeah it was lit at All Star Game. Ooh it was lit. Yeah, okay, yeah. The like a lot of this surrounds bad decisions when you are not sober and you lose control, things happen in your brain. Those sensors that tell you, hey, you shouldn't do this, Those sensors go away when you've had too much tequila. Hence the whole blame it on, Blame it on Henny, Blame it on Patron, Like that's you

can't you bring a gun to the club. You can't blame it on the alcohol. You can't. Sorry, Like it's the truth, and you people forget Jaws only twenty three years old. He's a baby. Yeah what I was doing at twenty three years old? My lord, my lord, It doesn't excuse anything. But this is a guy who just signed five years two hundred and thirteen million dollars. Nothing can prepare you for five years two hundred and thirteen million dollars at twenty three years old. And I love

him because he's defiant. He's defiant, and that is what that Instagram life was. Oh, Washington Post, you want to post a story about me putting a gun in my waistband, let me show you this gun to the face, no shirt on. Like, okay, I don't think you get it, sir, Like you can go to jail for this. You've now moved a gun allegedly. I don't know how the gun got there, but the NBA is gonna want to know the gun got from Memphis to Denver, across state lines,

maybe on a team plane. Now you're talking about felony, You're talking about Gilbert Arena's suspensions. All kind of things are in play, and now this just came in today. Colorado police are now investigating the incidents to see if job Brokenny laws. It is believed that jaws Ig Live was filmed in Glendale, a suburb of Denver known for its strip clubs. He since he was only It's the only county in Colorado that is not an open carry County. Very unfortunate scenario for Jahn Morant. He may be now

in play for a weapons violation. That is, in addition to whether it can be ascertained if it was his playing his own gun on the team plane, which would break all kinds of NBA locker room type laws. This shit could get ugly very fast. Sometimes it's better to be a slept on team. The Grizzlies, I think, are a team that's better to be slept on them as the team that everybody's looking for, they do not know how to handle that. You have Dylan Brooks with sixteen

technicals already at this point in the year. He's getting suspended suspensions. You've got John Morant happy. This is probably the worst weekend for the Grizzlies in team history because they lose Brandon Clark to an achilles injury, which is not being discussed. It would have if this jaw thing wouldn't have happened. You've had Steven Adams missing a bajillion games, knows when he's coming back, and now you've got one of the thinnest teams as a two seed and you're

losing to the LA Clippers. When you had a fifteen point lead in third quarter. You're just pew Downstandings, Sacramaro Kings breathing down your throat, Clippers breathing down your throat, MAVs breathing all down your throat. I want Jaw back, but I only want jawback if he's changed as a player, if he's changed as a human being, Because if he has the same baggage in the Satis decision making tree that he had when he decided, Oh yeah, you think this is gonna harm me, I'm gonna put the gun

in the ig life. If that shit is going, this is gonna get bad very fast because Jaw, we don't deserve it. But really, Jaw doesn't deserve it. Really, Jaw needs to sort himself out. He deserves to play with new tactics to deal with being him. Outside of just bottles of Henny and strip clubs and guns. There's gotta be other things. Kyler Murray chooses call of duty. Maybe

it's call of duty. I don't know what the methods of coping are going to be for Jaw, but this clearly can't be the method because obviously it's leading to being reckless and reckless decisions with a superstar with pajillions of money on the line. We're talking about sponsorship, we're talking about the league is not going to work. And I will wait, and we should all be ready to wait for as long as necessary for this new version of Ja Moran to come back.
