This is blatant discrimination.
God Morant is an idiot and his daddy not far behind. He's a pu*** who without his "boys" or "guns" he's just a weak little boy
Goofy 🤪
$75,000 is pocket change for Ja. The big issue is being a bad "role model" to the kids that look- up to him. "If Ja can do it, so can I"…Will make kids think real guns are cool to point too.
He one technical away from getting indicted for a one man Rico like Diddy 😂
This is dumb, just because his past you fine him for the celebration, bro other players do gun cellys
Buck breaking at its finest
Overblown
“I wanna make it out the hood and get in the NBA” 🚫
Ja: “I wanna make it out the NBA to the hood” ✅
Petty.Complete Bovine!
Ja should seek private legal action if all possible
Maybe if you suspend him for 50 games and fine him a million dollars maybe he'll finally get the hint
He's worth like a half a billi, what's $75,000? Lol
Prob with the grizz isn’t the head coach it’s their defense it’s been horrible since the turn of the calendar. You can combo that with other things
At this point…
that was so sad brings tears to my eyes……he is so "Blessed" to have a career playing basketball…but to make a gesture like that with young boys & girls watching and dreaming of playing basketball… he's NOT a good example if he has this street life on his mind. …So sad…could lead to a sad ending for him. 🙏🏾
The nba sucks.
This is bs. Let the guys play ball tf
Tbh should've been suspended. After your track record you don't get to play stupid
He’s going to do it again
Yal act like he the only person do that the league jus be hating
Well Morant should be glad he wasn't suspeneded again.
You don't fine actual school shooters but ja morant about a hand gesture.. USA you're are ridiculous 😂
I wish they’d just man up and say the real reason why it’s bad. It glorifies gang culture. Was that so hard?
He wanna be a thug.
I like Ja morant, someone need to save this young man, Trade this boy, send him to veteran people who can guide him, he will not get maturity in memphis
Why would you feel bad for someone who doesn't care? Stephen A Smith is clearly lying and doesn't want Ja's father on his head
Hard headed
He's a street thug. We all know that.
Don’t do anything that says bang bang 🤣🤣🤣
75k to Ja Morant is just a drop in the bucket! That’s nothing to him!
He should be suspended indefinitely WHEN he does it again.😮
75k will definitely hurt him 😂😂😂
He’s finna do it again
Lol 😂
