10 years down the line, he will look back at this and regret it. You lose money every time you do these gestures by fines. I don't understand why you would want to lose money for such a dumb reason multiple times.
Get together class. Today we are going to talk about the "whataboutism fallacy". Here we have a perfect example. Not only does it not debate or refute the actual claim in any way, there is even an added "Shut up" thrown on at the end.
The author has embarrassed himself and doesn't know it. Sad.
I don’t know why people are defending Morant here. He’s had serious and repeated legal issues regarding guns and the NBA should absolutely be trying to put a lid on this particular celebration
Lmao the entire league does and has been doing finger gun celliez just like this , but suddenly the world and league is turning on it and making it a giant deal because it's Ja Morant. Bro. Get over yourselves
Other teams and TV hosts were doing the same gesture and talking about gun references, they must be just centering Ja , he's an amazing talent, dude just play along , your part of the entertainment business and young people do emulate you , I like the guy , but at least try
They don’t even fine the dude that did it first . Right In his face. Between the refs and NBA association, when are you going to get off their necks. No other sport is regulated like the NBA. We don’t see other players being fined for how they dress going into the locker room. Joy is gone. Robots
Ppl are nuts if they think this is a problem worth a fine, or a problem at all. SMH. The NBA trying to fine / legislate all emotion from the game. I wish Silver would put this much energy into eliminating carries, travels and foul baiting BS that has ruined the game
He said after he did it at the Warriors game before the Miami game that he was seen as a villain so he didn't care. The guy is a thug, the NBA has given him several chances after being on Instagram with a gun more than once and now doing this. Terrible model for the kids that look up to players.
When are they going to come to their senses and sit him for a season. His constant "gangsta" behavior is unbearable and an acceptable. How many chances are enough?
Why not spell it with the hard “R?” Love the pearl clutching over a gesture he’s been making after 3 makes and then the descension into cloaked racism. Get the fuck out of here with that shit.
Huh? Of course the NBA can fine based on perception alone. Doesn’t make it right. Also, the original reply referred to him as a “gangsta,” but if we want to pretend then let’s 🙄🙄🙄
I think Ja will eventually do something off court again that will facilitate his departure from the NBA. Having said that, the gesture he’s making doesn’t offend me. It shouldn’t offend anyone. Chuck Person was the Rifleman. Ja can shoot his fingers at whomever. Who cares.

He doesn’t believe he deserves to be a star NBA player.

Lawd and the comments. I’m reminded everyday of why we are where we are.
But go off….
A Republican Congress person or something?
This is about Ja being cringe. It ain't that deep. Dude is a legitimate dickhead that doesn't even have a reason to be.
The league fined the Grizzlies guard $75,000 after he repeatedly mimicked shooting a gun in celebration during Thursday’s game against the Heat.

Yeah, $75,000 hit.
With a gun.
I really, really like…you know!😂
