Gilbert Arenas tells Shannon Sharpe he hopes Ja Morant will continue to go full “Ja Wick” | Nightcap
Grizzlies are 4-0 with jaw the Grizzlies went 6 and9 without jaw because he started the season serving that 25 game suspension they’re now 4-0 with the Western Conference player of the week on the court after pulling off a come from behind win over the New Orleans on Tuesday the Memphis Grizzlies Trail by
14 in the fourth quarter and chipped away at the lead until the final seconds of the game um J did this celebration um pis I guess it’s a New Orleans dance called pistols and bazooka uh huh they separate yeah okay what I’m being told now they’re saying it’s two separate things
They say it’s the New Orleans dance and it’s not the celebration pistols and bazooka and bazooka I just say that what I was told I was saying you know it’s the New Orleans dance yeah and it’s not pistol and bazooka no yeah it’s a New Orleans then that just happen to
Have hey like it it makes you it m like I know like he’s gonna irritate the older group but it kind of gota like as a as someone who thrives on being petty right he can’t help himself right right I’m be honest like right now without the
Celebration I call him shot Wick cuz that’s what he reminds me of like they killed his dog right yeah he he going through he going through teams like they killed this man right and it’s phenomenal it’s phenomenal what he’s doing it shows you how great he is um and he’s so
In he’s young right and I know we’re gonna nobody want to hear the excuses of he’s young but he is a kid he’s in in a culture where it’s the dance culture right like if you look at Westbrook and the dances he was doing during those OKC
He’s no different just the music he listens to got those type of reactions to it and when he’s doing his dunks and he’s feeling great that’s when he’s showing it like this is not coming from an angry place like we we’re looking at what he’s doing it’s not coming from an
Angry Place everything he’s done is coming when he’s actually happy right it’s it’s it’s a weird one because it’s it’s the culture when they’re dancing and they’re doing this it’s coming from a happy spot not an angry spot and I don’t think no one’s separating the two they just see oh
Pistols in he threw the Bazooka at us right and and that’s that’s going to be the problem rights I don’t think we should focus you know it’s Optics you know in this situation with him he got suspended for gun it was a two he was a
You know they he got you know had it one time and he went in with the commissioner and he served the commissioner he never put himself in that position again then a couple of months later he was in that again I think it’s just the Optics of it uh but
Like you said I mean I guess the only Dan that he know how to do have guns have them things on him so it is what it is hey I’m I’m laughing because as soon as you see it I was like oh there you go again he just can’t it’s you know
You dunk on you but I’m just I’m just glad that like I’ll rather see him still having his mental versus seeing some water down version right and as the organization of the Grizzlies I know I know deep down inside they happy as hell one you got one of
The future stars of the NBA you have an impact player you have a player that you can sell to your audience you got them at a discounted rate right those 25 games was perfect for you to get him for $40 million cheaper right you save $40 million with
Those Antics so in your mind you don’t care because you got a h you it’s like getting Iverson it’s like you know I mean it’s like getting Iverson it’s like getting the Bentley for 20% off you’re not gonna complain you’re not gonna complain and and that’s and that’s what
It is with j and you know um he’s at a he’s at this this point though he’s at this point where it’s a god mode thinking my team was so trash without me right you’re trash without me y’all some losers without me I come back we fo
And0 I done hit two gamewinners I’m that man if he don’t if he don’t settle if he don’t really look at himself his ego can be bigger than it was before course and and the the the the the issue is going to be now that he’s entering that God Zone thought
Process where he needs to protect himself more because now you’re 4 and 0 you go five and 0 you you you you what’s the name of the MTH you you make the allstar game oh they oh we we we gotta come get you oh he send some girls this way we we
Need him to do something send like you know and this is where now he needs because he has this chance where they open the door for you to come back in without any penalty penalty right right we penalize you but we got you a clean slate where you can
Come back and and and get your crown back and I think he needs to really think about where he’s at and what he can accomplish he can get more than he lost yeah if he if he if he plays this right because the team is horrible
Without him and if he can get this team to the playoffs he can make that All-Star team he’s the dude The Gift of Gab ask what do you think about Memphis going after Andre Drummond or bovich from Chicago or one of these bigs from the Pistons bones
Highland from the Clippers what do you think I mean because obviously they were a different team without with with big Adams and him going down you know he missed the last half of the season they thought he was gonna be able to come back but he ended up having to have
Surgery again and he’s gonna missed the entire season what do you think about going out and getting abovich getting an Andre Drummond I mean that mean you got to trade right if you’re just trying to replace one guy and you’re trying to replace enforcer a hard body down there then
Um you might want to go after Dwight Howard right that that is the only player that is cheap right um cheap willing to to come in for pennies on a dollar and because he’s been out of the NBA and it looks like he’s being left behind he’s going
To accept whatever role you you give him you know he’s going to be in shape right you know he’s gonna play defense right he’s gonna he’s gonna come to practice he’s gonna be a professional and if you need him to come in there and and check
Some players he can do that right right and you don’t have to break up your team to go out there and get those guys your name you can just sign as a free agent when Adams comes back you can cut him well I don’t think coming back this year
So you have to you probably could have him on and and he’ll be just what Adams was I believe he if you played him say 25 27 minutes I believe he can give you the kind of rebounds that Adams give you same kind of Defense oh yeah he oh yeah
He’ll give you a double double because you know he’ll give you a double double he’s gonna get physical he’s gonna get physical down there and that’s gonna open up a lot of stuff for John Morant because now you have a real enforcer down there where no one is gonna be
Trying to hit you right and you know that’s the one guy I see without you can without breaking up BR what I have because R what have right now is four because I when I look at it I think Dwight Howard even at his age is still
More athletic than uh than Stephen Adams oh yeah facts facts facts I think that that would be a good Move
Shannon Sharpe and Gilbert Arenas react to Ja Morant’s controversial celebration after the Memphis Grizzlies win their 4th straight game in a row. Gilbert says he hopes Ja continues to play the way he has and explains why this could be a blessing in disguise for the Grizzlies.

Don’t act like*
John wick shoots real guns
Ja wick plays with toy guns.
Don't do that.
The whole Dwight Howard sh*t made me discount the whole perspective of the conversation
He used to do the Griddy, he never did guns in his dances then. Shannon got that old white man mentality on this shit
Shannon was salty lol
Shannon sharp is a true punk
What are you saying… Get Cousins!!!
Smh….let morant be himself. Cause people gonna talk regardless
Shannon looks like he is falling asleep and the mike is holding him up
Boogie is better than Dwight. Less drama
Keep putting it in they face lil bro!!! Maybe we all can learn some from it!!!!
Another guy the Grizzlies should look at acquiring is Demarcus Cousins!
Thats what i been saying ,we need Dwight Howard, we will go deep in the playoffs!!! He will fit perfect
revenge on who exactly? himself?
What revenge tour? He needs to go Ja Wick on himself. He messed up on his own nobody set him up. He’s not a victim. He’s an idiot. There’s a difference.
NBA sucks it's boring they don't play defense just wack now They want LB to win because they don't have a face for 2k right now it's a Rap but they will still get your money n attention
Ja is the new A.I
Dwight gonna check some players or check out some players ? 🤔🧐
send it JA!
Hes am absolute fool. Nobody cares what dance it is. Its a business. Hes shooting pistols on the court and now millions of people are once aGain talking about guns and Ja Morant. NBA took action already and kept him off the floor in denver. They will press him everytime he slips. Until hes changes or leaves the nba. 1 of those 2 things will happen. Maybe real soon.
Dwight to golden state
I been rooting for Ja since day one. I’m happy he’s back.
Unc let me get that shirt 🔥 🔥 TUFFFFF!!
Coming from somebody that wants to see him succeed at his craft.
I don’t think anybody has a problem with him being happy or dancing. It’s the fact that he treats some thing that can take lives away as a toy. Shows a younger audience which he is appealing to that guns are just toys. Nothing to take seriously that’s the issue here if he just did the bazooka motion I don’t think we would be talking about this, for the third time in a row he has been very casual and treating guns as toys. Which has an effect when you are somebody that appeals to a young audience.
Why is shooting guns a happy thing? Why is it OK that the youth are allowed to consider things that can take lives as toys. Anybody that jokes around acting like guns are toys that is in a position that can influence the younger generation. There’s nobody to blame, but the people encouraging it. Gil says old heads I’m 25 and don’t want any of my kids thinking so casually like oh it’s just this generation dances.
What is he fake shooting at? When did that become a joke or laughing matter typically that was a way of threatening somebody’s life if that’s how you want your kids to view guns don’t be asking yourself why they get in trouble and end up like ja.
White fans need to be honest in these comments because they are jealous of a rich young black athlete
Sometimes it’s best not to take yourself to seriously
Dance 🔥💯!
White athletes, and even some black ones don't understand all black men are angry and with good social reasoning. And we do often play with a passion that is a form of unarticulated social protest . Ask Ja and other players what they truly think that often goes unexpressed at least in private.pretending has its cost.
Ja is not a kid lol that’s a grown man. He should stay far away from anything that relates to guns lol move to knifes of something
We need to stop calling Adult Men kids
