THE JA MORANT CASE IS CRAZY



THE JA MORANT CASE IS CRAZY

Johnar had to deal with another court today as in the court room johnar described the moments leading up to the fight with Joshua Holloway at Moran’s father’s home in eids Holloway was guarding him but the team became frustrated after losing several games Mor so John morand’s suspension is

Officially over and at the same time John morand’s court case is underway and I really wish this was nationally televised because his court case has been so bizarre up until this point I mean it included moments like forcing John Moran to check a basketball questioning why John Moran has a diamond

Having so much fun doing this I’m so happy that I made you guys some money and thank you prize piix for the sponsor mik check 1212 what’s going on everybody earlier this March johnar was accused of punching a 17-year-old during a pickup game at Mor’s father’s house in July of

2022 the boy told the police that Moran punched him in the head repeatedly 12 or 13 times that he later went into his home and returned with a gun visible in his waistband now at the time this was a crazy accusation that we wouldn’t really believe leave but I suppose this was

Some foreshadowing now he said that the confrontation began when Mor threw the ball hard at his chest as he attempted to check the ball in when the boy responded by throwing the ball back hard it slipped through Moran’s hands and hit him in the chin Moran told police in an

Interview that he was acting in self-defense after the boy threw a basketball at his head although he acknowledged that he swung first Mor also claimed that the boy threatened to come back and light this place up like fireworks as he left Mor’s property jaw file a police report over those comments

Saying it was a threat to his family but prosecutors decided not to file any charges last September the boy filed a civil suit against John Morant with the suit being first reported by TMZ in early January this year the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office in Tennessee said that there wasn’t enough

Evidence to proceed with a criminal case now according to police documents the suit was filed on September 9th 20122 over the incident that happened on July 26 2022 at Moran’s father’s house in Tennessee the documents also reveal that police investigated the allegations for weeks before they submitted the case to

The district attorney’s office on October 4th less than a month later the da declined prosecution Durand and his childhood friend Devonte pack were listed as defendants the documents also gave more details on the boy’s claims the teenager said that after the ball hit Morant in the face Morant walked up

To him put his chin on his shoulder and asked the bystander should I do it to him before striking him with a closed fist knocking him to the ground 17 year-old said that mirand continued sticking him while on the ground and claimed another man jumped in and began

Hitting him as well officers in the documents said that they noted that the teenager had a large knot on his head the documents went on to say that both parties said that the fight was broken up by Spectators shortly after it began and reiterated other claims that had

Already been made by each side as a result of this in April of this past year johnar would file a counter suit against the teenager accusing him of slander battery and assault Brant claims that the teenager who whose name is Joshua Holloway is damaging his reputation and putting him at risk of

Losing millions of dollars in potential contract money and endorsement deals Holloway amended his lawsuit in late March after he turned 18 earlier in November a judge gave morant’s defense team permission to argue in court that he acted in self-defense rant’s lawyer said in a motion filed this Summer that

He should be immune from liability under the state’s standard ground law which allows people who feel threatened at their homes to act with force in certain situations that law is usually used in criminal cases but the ruling allowed morant’s lawyers to use it in this civil

Case as they tried to get the lawsuit dismissed earlier this month morand and members of his family were subpoena as part of the civil suit over this incident setting the scene for jaw day in court now last Monday the case was brought to the Shelby County Circuit

Court in Memphis where morand and his dad took the stand first of three straight days in court it featured moments and arguments from both sides that can only happen with a professional athlete reporters covering the case noted that each legal team brought a basketball into the courtroom and this

Is where the absurdity begins most of the courtroom descriptions we’re about to discuss are coming from the Memphis commercial appeals account during her opening statements the defense attorney showed videos of John Moran’s dunks throughout his career and said that his highlight showed an example of the type

Of force that came at hallay so I want you to Envision this this woman is showing a highlight reel of John morand pretty much saying look judge look at how freaking athletic this guy is yeah this is the type of athleticism that the plaintiff used to beat the out of this

Underaged boy you also used a picture of Mor’s near dunk over Kevin Love as a visual aid man I really wish he was able to complete this dunk and then following this John Mor’s dad would take the stand first after opening statements from each side he discussed the nature of pickup

Games calling them highly competitive and involved a lot of trash talk this is nothing new knew if you play pickup ball at all any type of pickup sport at all that’s physical usually involves trash talk any type of competition that is exciting and engaging always will result

In some trash talk maybe a little less now than in years past because I think this generation is getting a little soft but Mor would continue to say that the family hosted local high schoolers over the years since the family moved to the Memphis Area however it was moments of

Jaw’s testimony that went absolutely viral he took the stand a little after 145 and began Fielding questions from his attorney the first series of questions were just basic questions about John br’s background his family what he does for a living I don’t know if you know this but he’s a famous

Basketball player who is largely responsible for the resurrection of the Memphis Grizzlies basketball team he was without a doubt one of the NBA’s most marketable stars and now he has a reputation of wanting to be a fake gangster eventually the questioning shifted to basketball John Moran talked about his inability to play basketball

In public much less go shopping at a grocery store before getting into details about his private pickup games after this his attorney pulled out a Memphis Grizzlies basketball and asked him to demonstrate how to check the ball leading to one of the most bizarre moments of this entire hearing and I

Think one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen in a courtroom it’s drawing to see one of the best basketball players in the world explain something that anyone who’s ever played pickup basketball Nails it appears as though jaw’s lawyer was using this to show that checking the ball in doesn’t involve

Throwing it as as hard as you can at close range and to be honest and fair I played basketball before I’m much better at watching it but even I know that checking a basketball is usually a light pass either from the chest or a light

Bounce pass or if you want to be goofy you roll the ball on the floor to your opponent but if you’re really pissed off which you shouldn’t do this but if you’re really angry you throw the ball at your opponent as hard as you can and

To be honest I think that’s a little bit of a move but people do it it’s not out of the ordinary it’s not acceptable either either but people do do it like oh my God you’re kicking my ass let me show you how butt hurt I am

By pting you with this basketball now afterwards Morant described the check exchange with Holloway that led him to throwing the ball at Mor’s face jaw said that they were at the top of the key when he rolled the ball to hollow for a check see people do roll the ball but

Holloway rolled it back to morand before jaw threw a chest pass after which Holloway fired the ball at jaw who said it was a one-handed pass that hit him on the left side of his face way I’m envisioning this is it was a Chuck that

Smacked jaw to the face now of course if you ever get hit with a basketball to the face it’s a very shocking experience right so I can understand if the immediate reaction is Rage and it seems like that’s what John Mor’s reaction was the words that were exchanged included

Mirand asking and does he take a step forward yeah he pulled up his pants step forward so then we end up getting like chest to chest like what like this okay and then he showed the up me pull his pants up again like this that’s about afterwards Mor said that he hid hallay

In self-defense because of how he interpreted the teen’s actions so you’re trying to have a conversation yeah and he wants no part of you just pull up his shorts I ain’t know what he want that’s what I asked how did you interpret his response uh well him pulling up his

Shorts um where I’m from that’s fighting stands later Mor reiterated Holloway’s comments of lighting up this place up like a firework show and it sounded like guns to me saying he felt threatened He also mentioned former NBA veteran Mike Miller who was there during the pickup

Game and was one of the people who helped escort hallay off of the property now I want you to bear in mind Holloway actually gave a statement to the police shortly after all this happened if you remember finally my you’re talking about like basketball player John Mor basketball play like like Memphis

Grizzly John Mor grizly John Mor yeah so gr man just hit you in the face after a recess John Moran’s cross-examination began around 3:35 p.m. and this is where the comedy really starts as the defense attorney got her turn to ask John R questions on the stand she began by

Asking about jaw’s role on his team and in the Memphis Community before asking jaw that you testify that this basketball was a Lethal Weapon yes to which jawar replied yes and it hurt within the questioning there was another exchange that went viral after the defense attorney asked Morant if gave

One of the witnesses a necklace those real Diamonds I’m a millionaire fair enough she eventually set up her own version of the incident with her own basketball it’s bizarre to me that both sides brought a basketball to this hearing now after getting into a similar checkball Recreation which yes John Moran was asked to check the ball

Again she asked John Moran to punch her in the face which is insane and you think I’m making this up right but no this is what’s actually happening she actually is asking jaw to punch her watch and then you punch me punch me no well show me how to punch you punched

Him no you need to show me how you punched him you see why I had to make a video on this not even scripted Court television is this entertaining I don’t know if this is close to Johnny Depp and Amber Herz case but it’s definitely there in

Comedic value now Moran finally got off the witness stand and the court adjourned for a day jaw didn’t take the stand again after the first day in court second day in court featured more testimony from jaw’s father sister and childhood best friend Devonte pack hway was in court but didn’t Testify the

Third day featured recorded depositions of witnesses including John R’s trainer Miller who’s a family friend of the morance who had a clear view of what went down ball got rolled back roll to him he kicked the ball the J and J kicked it back to Hill it was like

Competitive basketball and then Josh fired the ball to to John hit him in the mouth that kind of started everything Court agreed to reconvene on December 20th one day after John morand is eligible to return for the Grizzlies if morand’s lawyers win the immunity hearing then the case could be dismissed

However if not then a date has been set for a trial in April which is when the NBA regular season ends and the playoffs begin the Grizzlies have a huge hole to climb out just to make the play in tournament and part of jaw’s absence jaw

Even admitted this when he met with the media on Friday has it has it been as the losses have piled up has it been has that part of it been painful and is there a part that makes you feel like you’re somehow responsible or at least in part responsible for that yes there

Definitely um you know some guilt in that obviously I’m not on the floor um and obviously nobody likes losing so you know our job is to you know go out there and get a win um um I take full responsibility of that um obviously even

Though I’m not on the floor you know um decisions I made didn’t allow me to be out there you know to go to battle with my team let me know what you guys think about this case so far I think it’s definitely one of the most entertaining

Pieces of content we have to date aside from that I’m your boy Mike and I’m dropping our mic until our next upload

  1. A basketball as a lethal weapon? Technically you can throw it and snap someone's neck when he doesn't flex, but has there EVER been a documented case? He's just a dumb kid making dumb decisions and when you're "a millionaire" you're supposed to be past that, certainly when playing in the NBA as a superstar is your job.

  2. Respect Ja taking responsibility for not being on the floor and helping his team. He could of easily said the losses werent his fault.

  3. "Where I'm from, thats fighting stance." Bro is from private school and two loving parents 😂😂😂 Being a fan of Ja aka Malibus most wanted is so hard sometimes 😂😂

  4. Its not the generation getting soft, it’s the ref getting soft and more protective to the players and ofcourse more protective to the refs feelings

  5. I dunno why you're making light of this whole thing. Who cares what happens in the court room. This grown ass man punched a kid in the face for checking him the ball too hard. Not to mention allegedly beat him on the ground repeatedly. That's about as bitch ass as they get yet but you're calling the boy a bitch? What? Maybe focus more on the facts and less about the comical value.

  6. Turn to Jesus people, he died for your sins. Repent of what the New testament describes as sin. Believe the gospel get baptized and obey the teachings of Jesus. The gospel and the teachings of Jesus are documented in Matthew Mark Luke and John. Jesus is the only way to be saved, if you have faith in Jesus through your faith you will live by his teachings. God bless

  7. When are you going to do a video on his return game, and the game winner that he hit? I’ll wait….

  8. Two adults jumped a 17 year old. The grizzlies went for zeebo's "in my hood the bullies get bullied" to this.

  9. Look if you don't understand law, the don't talk about it. For example the highlights might well be excellent evidence against a grown man who is extra fit against a 17 year old

  10. Maybe one day he, his mom and his dad will take his career seriously and realize they can’t just do whatever they want. It shouldn’t have taken this long of him being in the nba for them to realize that.

  11. Maybe a Lebron and Jordan plot. Ja should have become the greatest basketball player. 🤔🤣

  12. Being South Carolina pulling ur pants means u tryna too get it in no matter where he grew up living that’s the same fo every one

  13. thats streetfight 101. you don't pull up your pants if you do not intend to punch ! ja is inocent!

  14. Regardless if he is innocent or not, the fact Ja Morant is even trash talking and getting in fights with kids goes to show how dumb he is.
