I don't know how athletes deal with the media
Hope the counsellors were able to figure out how to make him become more smarter and found ways to alleviate his stress levels that don't involve throwing away a billion dollars
I’m trying to figure out what stress makes a person show off a gun on instagram. I’m all for people getting their mental health in order. I just don’t like when people use mental health as a cop out. I would’ve respected it more if he just said I made a dumb mistake and I’ll do my best to be better going forward. And to be clear, I’m not dismissing the idea that he’s got a lot of stress in his life. I just don’t buy that it caused him to brandish a gun on IG Live.
I know they get on your nerves Ja. They need therapy themselves asking stupid questions, and lying questions. Congratulations but the one thing you denied is God in your life. And rather you know it not you can't do anything without him in your life. I you will never see this but maybe someone that is spiritual will share the sentiment with you. God bless 🙏🏽
Some of these reporters ask some dumb a$$ questions and the same questions 😂
He got asked about the counseling program he’s in and couldn’t even answer the question. Some of y’all don’t pay attention at all. 😂
YB Ft Ja Morant this offseason 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 78 millions views in 48 hours!
Honestly if Steven Adams didn't get hurt I think this team going to the finals they still got a shot tho
Ja looking mad at some of them reporter's
Glad ja is back 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm surprised that the 8 game suspension included all the games he just decided not to play. This guy has been out for 3 weeks with some fairly serious allegations and next to no consequences
VERY GOOD JA. ALWAYS A HUGE FAN OF YOU. YOU WILL COME BACK STRONG WITH SAME ENERGY TAKING GAME TO HEIGHTS. LOVE AND RESPECT.
I hope he lifts himself up from all this negativity and toxicity. If history has taught us anything, if there’s anything that is more certain in this lifetime, it’s that they love to see the black man struggling.
Morant suffering "stress" …. 😂🤣 That's what playing along side Dillon Brooks will do to you.
Proud of Ja & his not hiding & dealing with the media head on
This is an amazing young man❤and I know his parents are super proud of him!!!!!!!!
Ready to see Ja return and a healthy Grizzlies team. Watched countless ppl bash this young man. Hope he prevail
“be more smarter”
The responsibility to our young is to teach substance abuse and gun violence are a problem be an example. Take accountability don’t just say “cases are sealed I don’t have a problem”
All of those microphones and I still can barely hear him.I had to turn the volume up to the max. Do better NBA!!!
Come back Ja I need you to finish off my semifinals
no way she said “why does the seal prevent you from talking about it”💀💀💀
Ja "Tekashi 69" Morant
This will blow over within the next month or so. That’s how the news cycles roll.
PR taught him how to beat around certain questions
What’s crazy people go all in for these people but I don’t know 1 helping or hoping poor people don’t go to prison an all day nba yb he listen to an claim he come out with da green hair claiming Slime I believe in equal treatment
He looks so pissed
Now see everyone pro sports leaders is supporting violence as long as u pay money showing kids u can be violent if u pay a fine great job pro sports leaders for supporting violence to our kids thanks ok just think kids when u grow up as long as u pay fines u can hurt people break the rules awesome job for setting an example pro sports leaders great job
I’m not buying nothing Clarence is selling
He’s a straight shooter 🔫
Praying for you Ja, you are such a well spoken man, you handled this interview like a professional.
Ja’s actions will speak louder than this or any interview Ja has from this day forward.
