I dont like Ja but im pretty sure he was talking about how everyone was saying Memphis is better without him last season.. . Hence why he has kept the receipts.
I mean, their defense definitely was and they won games at a similar, if not better, pace than if he was there. No reason to keep receipts regarding that. They're better in the clutch with him, but if he was replaced by a Luka, Steph, Brunson, SGA or Haliburton, the Grizzlies would be way better than they are with him. I say Haliburton, because he's a better PG and way better shooter. I say Brunson, because he can also be clutch and is not a defensive liability like Ja.

Which was not meant for kids yet Joshua giddy is raping kids and no one in the NBA or the media is talking about it
People said his career was over and he's not gonna be good anymore. He was talking about all the people that were talking mess about his basketball abilities.
Who ever said that? When ppl said his career is over they didn’t mean because he could play and his talen level they meant because he can’t keep his foot out his mouth, he’s a repeat offender
@@Boney4000they really were, tons of dudes were saying he’d be out the league in a few years Before the season that ESPN Top 100 was some bullshit, Ant over Ja Morant? 🤣 I’d keep receipts too
When i saw the "i kept receipts" i didn’t thought anything of it aside from "he means he remembers everything said about the grizzlies" Edit: if i was Ja i would tell my dad to stfu because he’s really making the situation worse
“I kept receipts” just refers to the people saying Ja’s career was over. I’m as asympathetic to Ja’s situation as anyone, but this is overblown. Also the Giddey situation is just an accusation right now.
If it was then he would have clarified. Instead he leaves it open ended and says it's pretty self explanatory. Ja is young and dumb though, so really hard to feel for him when he does it to himself. Hopefully he starts to mature into a professional in a few more years. I mean you can't expect young people to be ready and responsible, and you'd hope his dad and mom would be the ones to keep him on track, but they are ghetto AF.
I don’t think Ja has changed completely but I also don’t think he’s dumb so he’ll play this right for how long who knows but I think he’ll keep it chill for a while to get the media off him
You don’t think he’s dumb? Seriously? What could possibly lead you to believe he’s intelligent? If he had done some stupid shit once, that would be different. But he just keeps doing it.
@@myquest666420 Youre not wrong to feel that way I was more just referring to usually when ppls money gets involved that are a bit more careful I’m saying he should have the basic intelligence of if you touch something and get burned don’t do it again dudes a multimillionaire he’ll figure it out or don’t I just don’t think it’s a tall ask for him to just not flash a gun
Ja doesn’t want to come out and say, “we will make the playoffs” because he knows it’s highly unlikely. But he will wait until the season is over, and if they make it, I think he will explain this is what the “receipts” were all about.
They're not gonna suspend giddy bc of Chris Anderson. That situation back then blew up in their faces hard when it turned out Anderson didn't do anything. They have no choice but to sit and wait now now
Yeah but Birdman got catfished by a teen pretending to be older, whereas Giddey had to know how old this girl was, because he hung out with her family.
“I kept receipts” on the people who said his career was over or that he wouldn’t come back and do what he’s been doing in the court. Idk how somebody would get that’s mean he saying he didn’t do anything or somebody wronged him.
Who said that his career was over? Hes trying to make it look like he got opps and haters meanwhile everyone including media is rooting for him and just wants him to stop acting dumb.
People are misinterpreting what he’s saying. He definitely is talking about people who started talking bad about his play/position in the league whiles he was out.
it's clear from the way his son acts. What kind of father goes on live television to justify his sons behavior after he was suspended from his job for two separate instances of him breaking the law, and not only that but justify his relationship with the same friend group that got him in those situations. It's clear poor parenting and a lack of masculinity are major factors here. It's almost like Ja has no respect for his image and his family's and yet his father, who's supposed to be a positive role model, teach him the difference between right and wrong, and teach him how to be a man; encourages it. Your comment alone is the reason we say this what AA culture entails, had this been a traditional African father he would've whopped his sons ass. @@emayan06
This whole thing irked me when I saw it on ESPN. He's saying he kept receipts of everything everybody said pertaining to basketball and who was now better than him. But I guess cause of the stigma around his name he has to be sorry for everything he does now. It wasn't about him doing anything wrong or not but how the media counted him out for things that had nothing to do with ON THE COURT....
Yeah its stupid. "I kept reciepts" means nothing at all and these oldheads who dont know shit are making a big deal out of it. So stupid theyy wanna slander Ja's name at all costs
@@Shhh11. no its cus his dad is going on talk shows saying Ja did nothing wrong lmao - no one is looking to hate on Ja, but him and his dad are showing us they cant learn
@@leo_wentzel bro🤦♂️🤦♂️ you really arent the brightest. I easnt talking about his dad i was talking about the reciepts thing. It means nothing and doesnt show that "he hasnt learned". Yes his dad shouldnt have said anything but it doesnt show tha Ja hasnt learned anything lmao
@@Shhh11. Is Kawhi crying about how he kept the receipts? He was like top 3 player of the league at some point, but injuries and lack of availability made him ranked lower, because guess what, he wasn't playing. Nobody ever questionned his skills, but that's how it is. This season, he's slowly reminding us who he is
@@radicalmatamune This is the only sane comment ive seen thats trying to prove me wrong so, props to you. What youre saying makes sense i agree to an extent but off court issues shouldnt translate to people completely forgetting how goof you are, taking your talent for granted not to mention the extreme ammount of hate he gets or that anyone defending him gets. Its crazy not even Josh Giddey gets Ja's level of hate and he literally fucked a child and had a relationship with her
He should have elaborated further because this isn't the context hes referring to when he said he kept receipts. More likely he was referring to the media saying the Grizzlies are done and that theyll miss the play in etc etc. it's not like Ja is really up there saying "we won x games straight this exonerates me from my penalties." Be for real.
You're not wrong, but Ja showed us that he isn't the type to hold himself accountable, we saw that with his second suspension. So, how can we not think this way when he's shown us in the past that he IS like this?
@@leo_wentzel I mean you're allowed to think whatever you want im not here to change your mind about the situations Ja was involved in, I simply think the videos misunderstanding what he meant by saying he kept receipts.
@@MNPhantom well, if you listen to that radio interview with his dad, it seems like Ja and his dad are still under the impression he didn’t do anything bad. Which is a damn shame cus Ja deserves better than that.
I'm not a fan of Ja. He seems to idolize people who behave badly. Having said that, all he did was say, "I kept receipts." This attention about nothing. I love NBA drama but he'll need to do more to get my attention.
He's looking for the wrong kind of attention it seems like, him and his whole family. His "receipts" are people chiding him for his behaviour, not his quality of play. I don't think he can tell the difference. Also, hey Woody! Looking forward to the next PKA!
Ja was talking about how they rank him on the best players list and people say Tyrese Halliburton, Tyrese, Maxey, Jaylen, Bronson, SGA fox and other players are better than him. He kept receipts.
The way I interpreted that was Ja implying that people forgot how good he was and were saying other players were better just cause they hadn’t seen him play in a while so he remembered that
I don't think ja said he kept receipts because people judged too harshly because of his actions. I think it was because nba Twitter have been putting ja lower and lower when it comes to pg rankings. I saw someone said trae was better. People deadass forgot how good ja is and put any remotely good pg over him. I think ja is keeping receipts of people who put those types of pgs over him.
Ja Morant has been pushed, hyped, and celebrated for his 'lil gangsta' attitude faster and harder than anyone else in NBA history. He lacks the intellectual prowess of a Jordan, and most importantly, he doesn't have a mentor, whether privately, within the team, or throughout the entire franchise, who is equipped to handle the pressure and business demands. Unfortunately, his father is the least suitable for this role. This is the NBA, not TikTok. Despite all the sacrifices in the next maximum 20 years, there is also corresponding compensation in terms of money. In the end, though, it's his life, his career, his decision, and his responsibility.
As corny as it sounds, that is actually a very thoughtful question and observation. Let's break it down... who could be a fan replacement for Morant? I can't think of anyone off the top of my head... Lamello Ball is has some dope highlights, as does Devin Booker, Shaedon Sharpe of the Blazers and Kuzma on Wizards, but I dunno if they are actually good people in real life, I'm curious who pops into your mind? @@michaelhaydenbell
@@michaelhaydenbellnon of them jump like Ja. I get, he's not my fav player but I can def see it. Also, he stood up for his mother and was hanging out with friends doing what young American boys do. Play with guns. It's not like he shot anyone. The hate he's getting is honestly alot like the hate ai got for not wearing suits having his hair braided and having tattoos. It's mostly about control more than anything else.
It’s because during his suspension people started questioning his skills and were even throwing the likes of haliburton and brunson ahead of him just to make a couple names. He was even asked in an interview what he thinks about people saying that’s it’s players that done got better than you? We all know how fickle and hasty the NBA community is. Most NBA fans base their opinions off of recency bias so I think he was speaking to that. People questioning his ranking in the league now.
Ja did nothing wrong. Having/ being seen with/ "flashing" a gun isn't anything wrong or illegal. Brandishing a weapon would be, which isn't what he did. He lost some $40 mil for some BS. Most of us have done worse and will never earn close to $40 mil yet alone lose it. Whatever puts a chip on his shoulder and returns him to making generational wealth, I wish the best for him. These are the same foolish types that cost Kobe and Tiger millions for marital affairs/ things that have nothing to do with anyone.
He's not Going to overcome this adversity, You can tell he still needs a lot of growing to do He's bigger than basketball, that's why it's important for him to act right. Giddy is nowhere near the kernel that ja is. Ja doesn't need therapy he needs a can of act right
The Giddey thing is just an accusation as far as anyone knows. The NBA won’t suspend him off of unproven accusations, especially since the girl’s parents aren’t cooperating with police.
I can’t be bothered with the Josh Giddey situation. If for a second people could just LOOK for information before spreading shit online, things would be easier for everybody. Long story short, the situation happened in 2021 when he had just entered the league, he was 19 and the girl 16, used a fake ID to get into a 18+ club. When he found out her actual age he told the OKC Thunder of the situation and they never punished him cause ofc, what could he have done? Now these goons want to call him Karl Malone which molested an actual kid, and he’s probably never going to get a break from this again even tho he’s innocent. The girl’s family isn’t cooperating cause she’d just probably be found guilty, not because “he paid them to shut up” or whatever. Internet is a dirty place.
Spot on.. And the fact that so many amateur 'NBA Analysists' feel so comfortable dragging Giddey's name through the mud in this way is repugnant. This is how men were lynched throughtout America. Of course, most - but not all - were black.
This video is clickbait. Many people online last year said the Grizzlies are better without Ja. That is what he means by receipts. Team struggles without him, he comes back, wins the game for them. What else could he mean by receipts? To have receipts doesn’t mean you felt wrong… it means you have evidence. What evidence would he have to prove he did nothing wrong lol? Unsubscribed. This some Malika Andrews type shit.
the title is kind of clickbait , the situation did not get worse, Morant is doing good right now. however I am kind of sceptical if he will stay on the right track ....
If I was the interviewer I would ask JA, "Are you keeping receipts of the new guns you bought?" to get a reaction out of him..... That question would have broke the internet.....😅😅😅😅
Giddy's situation is completely different. She had a fake id in a club for 18 and up...... what was he supposed to do? Run a full background check? Fingerprints? DNA testing? There's a reason her parents aren't cooperating.
No he shouldn’t do a background check if it’s a one night stand. If he smashed more than once then, yeah he knew what was up. He talked about coming to see her brother play ball. That sounds like a full blown relationship.
Josh Jackson motion shooting a gun into the crowd and got a 35K fine. That was without having been suspended for anything weapon related prior.ja Morant just did this.
I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year... Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life..
As a beginner, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. I'm guided by Fergus waylen a widely known crypto consultant, experienced coach with extensive financial market knowledge., his strategy has yielded positive results for many investor's, he offers valuable insights, including entry and exit points.
It's truly great to see the name Fergus Waylen mentioned here. I have immensely earned working with him and I'm truly happy with my decision to work with him because he has proven to be the most reliable Financial consultant to work with
Bad company corrupts good morals very concerning after 25 game suspension and still hanging around same influences that got him in some of those situations. Generational wealth on the line you gotta do all that you can do to keep yourself good!!
Isn't having a gun normal in the US? Why this is a big deal? only because hes a athlete? Cause for what I've seen is normal for a singer or streamer to have guns why cant a nba player have one ? I'm genuinely curious
It's not his supporting cast that's getting him suspended. His supporting cast had a better record without him last year but, Ja got a new contract this year so that meant getting rid of some of the players from last year that were helping them win games, like Tyus Jones. So if you're wondering why they can't win without him, it's cos he can't stop doing dumb stuff that gets him suspended and he ate up most of the salary of the team.
He didn't do much. The 2nd Amendment grants him the right to own and show firearms. And....He punched a kid in the face. Hornets player did much worse.
Im with JA...I know he has to talk to the media because of the leagues obligations but the less he talks, the better. He should let his play on the court speak for itself and ignore the mainstream media altogether. The more JA and his Dad feel like they need to explain themselves to those people, the worse things are going to be...
He is under a microscope. Literally shouldn’t say anything . Literally should have a script given to him for the rest of the season of what to say . I agree I don’t think he was talking about everything going on In his life , but he should know , or atleast someone in his circle that the media will be hunting for anything from him they can spin . Also people do not realize the power a great lawyer/s and a lot of money has on keeping you out of legal issues . Pretty sure people have seen breaking bad the show , it’s not far fetched .
You cannot compare with Giddey because for Giddey it should be the police and justice who handle it. If NBA want to suspend him they should suspend him indefinitely considering the seriousness of the accusations, but if on the other hand he's not convicted by a court it looks strange, like the NBA has info that the justice doesn't ? If the NBA expel him, that mean they consider that he in fact did a something against the law, but still he wouldn't go in prison because the police didn't find anything ? And they can't either do like for Ja and suspend him for 25 games, because that would be ridiculously light for the seriousness of the supposed crime.
the amount of people who have taken this simple statement and twisted it when it's obvious he's using it to fuel himself and his fans is actually crazy. Yall are nitpicking at this point 😭
Ja Morant should be suspended even more, showing guns in an instagram live can and will influence young kids and it probably already has, his whole character is simply unacceptable.
bro basketball and social media is different things what he is on the court is not the same as him off the court plus guns are legal in america ja's gun is also licensed so what's there to be suspended about
you can say that there's kids watching that live but men those kids have their own minds if they want to copy him then they will do it if they want to if they don't want to do it then they won't do it
..everyone now a days just wants to get attention on Social Media and make something out of Nothing !! Ja really has done Nothing !! ..let's Keep It Real !! ..this Man Is the Best in NBA-Today !!
Brandishing your firearm in public or in a private business is 100% an arrestable crime. His father saying "what crime did he commit?" Like are you serious? That pistol should never come out of concealment unless you need to protect yourself or someone else while in public or in private businesses. Period. What an idiot.
Olayers like Ja are the reason I oay minimal attention to the NBA now. I cannot stand the entitled attitude of these guys. Theyre just playing basketball, they're not curing diseases, saving lives, or improving society in anyway.
Yall blowing this outta proportion for views Fam dad tweaking and weird sbd and clearly showing mental health issues And my boy still learning and growing He'll be fine
I would put Melo Ball 3rd on that list to "build around"... Only under Doncic & Wemby... (butttttt I might be biased because I am Hornets fan. lol) Seriously though - Melo has proven he can essentially do it ALL... both sides of the ball. His passing is exceptional and I think that is like the most important acutal ball skill when it comes to a "build-around player".. because you need whoever you main "guy' is... to be able to dish the ball around and feed the others. Anddd they really dont come much better than him when it comes to passing ability.
The problem is ja lied to Adam Silvers face. He was super lenient on Ja before he was caught again with a gun and then he dropped that 25 game suspension.
Like guns aren't legal in America. Adam Silver isn't being lenient he's being authoritarian. Land of the free is forgotten real quick when you ain't 🐖 skinned.
I believe when Ja said “I kept the receipts” he was talking about the people in the media that were saying other players were better than him that he believes he is better than. Such as a Tyrese Haliburton, or Tyrese Maxey.
No criminal act, but the NBA said it's players, ie...employees, can't be on Instagram flashing guns. It's no different then when I agreed to my offer of employment, I became subject to adherence of their company policies and subsequent discipline if I were to violate their policies. There seem to be a lot of people who just feel like they should be able to do what they want without any consequences smh

Before the season that ESPN Top 100 was some bullshit, Ant over Ja Morant? 🤣 I’d keep receipts too
@@kdfan35 Bro Anthony Edwards is at MINIMUM as good as Ja Morant, if not better. That wasn't a good example. Antman is sick
NAME NAMES
When i saw the "i kept receipts" i didn’t thought anything of it aside from "he means he remembers everything said about the grizzlies"
Edit: if i was Ja i would tell my dad to stfu because he’s really making the situation worse
lol you are coping
Ja was 100% talking about how people were doubting his abilities as a player, this is a major stretch of a video
“I kept receipts” just refers to the people saying Ja’s career was over. I’m as asympathetic to Ja’s situation as anyone, but this is overblown.
Also the Giddey situation is just an accusation right now.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Facts!!!!!!!
If it was then he would have clarified. Instead he leaves it open ended and says it's pretty self explanatory. Ja is young and dumb though, so really hard to feel for him when he does it to himself. Hopefully he starts to mature into a professional in a few more years. I mean you can't expect young people to be ready and responsible, and you'd hope his dad and mom would be the ones to keep him on track, but they are ghetto AF.
💯
I think that girl lied about her age which is why her parents aren't cooperating with police.
I assume he was talking about how they kept underrating him
He was. Bro is reaching.
Exactly. It's really not a big deal lol
@@carl1465 I think the media just wanted to twist this
@@FieryMaQ media is reaching
@@Mvfasalways Agreed!
I don’t think Ja has changed completely but I also don’t think he’s dumb so he’ll play this right for how long who knows but I think he’ll keep it chill for a while to get the media off him
You don’t think he’s dumb? Seriously? What could possibly lead you to believe he’s intelligent?
If he had done some stupid shit once, that would be different. But he just keeps doing it.
@@myquest666420 Ja Morant will make a mistake this year.
Haha 😂 so funny “I don’t Think he’s dumb”
No offense but u gotta be pretty dumb if u don’t think Ja gotta screw loose. He keeps doin the same Shit!
@@myquest666420 Youre not wrong to feel that way I was more just referring to usually when ppls money gets involved that are a bit more careful I’m saying he should have the basic intelligence of if you touch something and get burned don’t do it again dudes a multimillionaire he’ll figure it out or don’t I just don’t think it’s a tall ask for him to just not flash a gun
He didn’t do shit to change, bro a regular dude😂yk how many niggas showin they stick on insta? Yall soft this everyday ahh shit
Ja doesn’t want to come out and say, “we will make the playoffs” because he knows it’s highly unlikely. But he will wait until the season is over, and if they make it, I think he will explain this is what the “receipts” were all about.
They're not gonna suspend giddy bc of Chris Anderson. That situation back then blew up in their faces hard when it turned out Anderson didn't do anything. They have no choice but to sit and wait now now
Or maybe the league just have a soft spot for P*dos?
Yeah but Birdman got catfished by a teen pretending to be older, whereas Giddey had to know how old this girl was, because he hung out with her family.
“I kept receipts” on the people who said his career was over or that he wouldn’t come back and do what he’s been doing in the court. Idk how somebody would get that’s mean he saying he didn’t do anything or somebody wronged him.
That’s the media for you nowadays
*means
@@jaysouthmusic8230 nah fr I was like huh
That's media and people was saying other players already better than him
Who said that his career was over? Hes trying to make it look like he got opps and haters meanwhile everyone including media is rooting for him and just wants him to stop acting dumb.
People are misinterpreting what he’s saying. He definitely is talking about people who started talking bad about his play/position in the league whiles he was out.
This is what happens when fathers treat their sons like they're friends.
You don’t even know these people or if he treats his son like a friend like shhhhhut uppp
it's clear from the way his son acts. What kind of father goes on live television to justify his sons behavior after he was suspended from his job for two separate instances of him breaking the law, and not only that but justify his relationship with the same friend group that got him in those situations. It's clear poor parenting and a lack of masculinity are major factors here. It's almost like Ja has no respect for his image and his family's and yet his father, who's supposed to be a positive role model, teach him the difference between right and wrong, and teach him how to be a man; encourages it. Your comment alone is the reason we say this what AA culture entails, had this been a traditional African father he would've whopped his sons ass. @@emayan06
@@emayan06 Well he clearly don't treat him at all by how badly he turned out. Go find some other fake gangsta to glaze on beach 🤣
This whole thing irked me when I saw it on ESPN. He's saying he kept receipts of everything everybody said pertaining to basketball and who was now better than him. But I guess cause of the stigma around his name he has to be sorry for everything he does now. It wasn't about him doing anything wrong or not but how the media counted him out for things that had nothing to do with ON THE COURT....
Yeah its stupid. "I kept reciepts" means nothing at all and these oldheads who dont know shit are making a big deal out of it. So stupid theyy wanna slander Ja's name at all costs
@@Shhh11. no its cus his dad is going on talk shows saying Ja did nothing wrong lmao - no one is looking to hate on Ja, but him and his dad are showing us they cant learn
@@leo_wentzel bro🤦♂️🤦♂️ you really arent the brightest. I easnt talking about his dad i was talking about the reciepts thing. It means nothing and doesnt show that "he hasnt learned". Yes his dad shouldnt have said anything but it doesnt show tha Ja hasnt learned anything lmao
@@Shhh11. Is Kawhi crying about how he kept the receipts? He was like top 3 player of the league at some point, but injuries and lack of availability made him ranked lower, because guess what, he wasn't playing. Nobody ever questionned his skills, but that's how it is. This season, he's slowly reminding us who he is
@@radicalmatamune This is the only sane comment ive seen thats trying to prove me wrong so, props to you. What youre saying makes sense i agree to an extent but off court issues shouldnt translate to people completely forgetting how goof you are, taking your talent for granted not to mention the extreme ammount of hate he gets or that anyone defending him gets. Its crazy not even Josh Giddey gets Ja's level of hate and he literally fucked a child and had a relationship with her
He should have elaborated further because this isn't the context hes referring to when he said he kept receipts. More likely he was referring to the media saying the Grizzlies are done and that theyll miss the play in etc etc. it's not like Ja is really up there saying "we won x games straight this exonerates me from my penalties." Be for real.
You're not wrong, but Ja showed us that he isn't the type to hold himself accountable, we saw that with his second suspension. So, how can we not think this way when he's shown us in the past that he IS like this?
Well he was directly asked to elaborate but couldn't convey his thoughts for the life of him.
@@leo_wentzel I mean you're allowed to think whatever you want im not here to change your mind about the situations Ja was involved in, I simply think the videos misunderstanding what he meant by saying he kept receipts.
@@bruskydu Couldn't or didn't? Huge gap between the two honestly
@@MNPhantom well, if you listen to that radio interview with his dad, it seems like Ja and his dad are still under the impression he didn’t do anything bad. Which is a damn shame cus Ja deserves better than that.
I'm not a fan of Ja. He seems to idolize people who behave badly. Having said that, all he did was say, "I kept receipts."
This attention about nothing. I love NBA drama but he'll need to do more to get my attention.
He's looking for the wrong kind of attention it seems like, him and his whole family.
His "receipts" are people chiding him for his behaviour, not his quality of play. I don't think he can tell the difference.
Also, hey Woody! Looking forward to the next PKA!
Ja was talking about how they rank him on the best players list and people say Tyrese Halliburton, Tyrese, Maxey, Jaylen, Bronson, SGA fox and other players are better than him. He kept receipts.
After Mad Dog said Shaq isn’t a top 5 center, I can’t take anything he says seriously.
Shoot I never took anything mad dog ever says😂
0:37 It's not like ja's ever gonna regain his likability and credibility. Time to move on from this loser
The way I interpreted that was Ja implying that people forgot how good he was and were saying other players were better just cause they hadn’t seen him play in a while so he remembered that
Bro, you can’t even go 10 hours from posting this video without Ja doing something else. Now he’s shooting the crowd like ffs bro
I don't think ja said he kept receipts because people judged too harshly because of his actions. I think it was because nba Twitter have been putting ja lower and lower when it comes to pg rankings. I saw someone said trae was better. People deadass forgot how good ja is and put any remotely good pg over him. I think ja is keeping receipts of people who put those types of pgs over him.
Ja Morant has been pushed, hyped, and celebrated for his 'lil gangsta' attitude faster and harder than anyone else in NBA history. He lacks the intellectual prowess of a Jordan, and most importantly, he doesn't have a mentor, whether privately, within the team, or throughout the entire franchise, who is equipped to handle the pressure and business demands. Unfortunately, his father is the least suitable for this role. This is the NBA, not TikTok. Despite all the sacrifices in the next maximum 20 years, there is also corresponding compensation in terms of money. In the end, though, it's his life, his career, his decision, and his responsibility.
What else could help him to get on the right track? sanctions? slap? maybe house arrest?
This is the monster that Adam Silver created. Sorry Ja, your fault. There is no loyalty here, this is not a game, this is business.
Ja Morant is my favorite NBA player, and I have mixed feelings about him since I had high hopes for him to grow in the future.
same. I still think he'll grow. he still super young in this life.
Why tf would HE be your favorite player?? So many decent dudes in the league who also ball out.
As corny as it sounds, that is actually a very thoughtful question and observation. Let's break it down... who could be a fan replacement for Morant? I can't think of anyone off the top of my head... Lamello Ball is has some dope highlights, as does Devin Booker, Shaedon Sharpe of the Blazers and Kuzma on Wizards, but I dunno if they are actually good people in real life, I'm curious who pops into your mind? @@michaelhaydenbell
@@michaelhaydenbellnon of them jump like Ja. I get, he's not my fav player but I can def see it. Also, he stood up for his mother and was hanging out with friends doing what young American boys do. Play with guns. It's not like he shot anyone. The hate he's getting is honestly alot like the hate ai got for not wearing suits having his hair braided and having tattoos. It's mostly about control more than anything else.
8:35 Pistons are ass but Cade should still be on there imo
It’s because during his suspension people started questioning his skills and were even throwing the likes of haliburton and brunson ahead of him just to make a couple names. He was even asked in an interview what he thinks about people saying that’s it’s players that done got better than you? We all know how fickle and hasty the NBA community is. Most NBA fans base their opinions off of recency bias so I think he was speaking to that. People questioning his ranking in the league now.
Ja did nothing wrong. Having/ being seen with/ "flashing" a gun isn't anything wrong or illegal. Brandishing a weapon would be, which isn't what he did. He lost some $40 mil for some BS. Most of us have done worse and will never earn close to $40 mil yet alone lose it. Whatever puts a chip on his shoulder and returns him to making generational wealth, I wish the best for him. These are the same foolish types that cost Kobe and Tiger millions for marital affairs/ things that have nothing to do with anyone.
He's not Going to overcome this adversity, You can tell he still needs a lot of growing to do
He's bigger than basketball, that's why it's important for him to act right.
Giddy is nowhere near the kernel that ja is.
Ja doesn't need therapy he needs a can of act right
Its not a crime to own or flash a gun..period...this is about staying in line
Josh Giddey walking around with all his privilege. Untouched by nba media, while
Ja has to be drained of his life force. Shame
Nailed it
The Giddey thing is just an accusation as far as anyone knows. The NBA won’t suspend him off of unproven accusations, especially since the girl’s parents aren’t cooperating with police.
I can’t be bothered with the Josh Giddey situation. If for a second people could just LOOK for information before spreading shit online, things would be easier for everybody.
Long story short, the situation happened in 2021 when he had just entered the league, he was 19 and the girl 16, used a fake ID to get into a 18+ club. When he found out her actual age he told the OKC Thunder of the situation and they never punished him cause ofc, what could he have done? Now these goons want to call him Karl Malone which molested an actual kid, and he’s probably never going to get a break from this again even tho he’s innocent. The girl’s family isn’t cooperating cause she’d just probably be found guilty, not because “he paid them to shut up” or whatever.
Internet is a dirty place.
You don't get an oppsies when you sleep with an underage girl.
Spot on.. And the fact that so many amateur 'NBA Analysists' feel so comfortable dragging Giddey's name through the mud in this way is repugnant. This is how men were lynched throughtout America. Of course, most - but not all - were black.
Ja was responding to ppl saying other new up in coming point guards were better than him and media wrote him off
"that's how Nhiglits are built, fellow doggy"
I know that's how they are built, and I am not a dog so I can't be a fellow one. LOL.
Just let the kid ball, he's behaving well atm
When he said “Keep receipts” I’m sure he meant about people that aren’t better than him being better than him
Ja morant saying he saw a therapist 😂😂😂
Yeah..🙄right.🤡(Ja Morant)🤥
This video is clickbait. Many people online last year said the Grizzlies are better without Ja. That is what he means by receipts. Team struggles without him, he comes back, wins the game for them. What else could he mean by receipts? To have receipts doesn’t mean you felt wrong… it means you have evidence. What evidence would he have to prove he did nothing wrong lol? Unsubscribed. This some Malika Andrews type shit.
the title is kind of clickbait , the situation did not get worse, Morant is doing good right now. however I am kind of sceptical if he will stay on the right track ....
Exactly
Didn"t he point finger guns at the crowd
@@JustMeELC time stamp ?
If I was the interviewer I would ask JA, "Are you keeping receipts of the new guns you bought?" to get a reaction out of him..... That question would have broke the internet.....😅😅😅😅
Giddy's situation is completely different. She had a fake id in a club for 18 and up...... what was he supposed to do? Run a full background check? Fingerprints? DNA testing? There's a reason her parents aren't cooperating.
No he shouldn’t do a background check if it’s a one night stand. If he smashed more than once then, yeah he knew what was up. He talked about coming to see her brother play ball. That sounds like a full blown relationship.
Josh Jackson motion shooting a gun into the crowd and got a 35K fine. That was without having been suspended for anything weapon related prior.ja Morant just did this.
I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year... Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life..
That's awesome!!! I know nothing about investment and I'm keen on getting started. What are the strategies?
As a beginner, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. I'm guided by Fergus waylen a widely known crypto consultant, experienced coach with extensive financial market knowledge., his strategy has yielded positive results for many investor's, he offers valuable insights, including entry and exit points.
It's truly great to see the name Fergus Waylen mentioned here. I have immensely earned working with him and I'm truly happy with my decision to work with him because he has proven to be the most reliable Financial consultant to work with
Well, you are saying the fact. I invested $4,000 with fergus Waylen. and earned $12,000
he has a strong reputation and good insight when it comes to profiting from economic fluctuations. I trust Fergus Waylen completely.
Garbage clickbait with a fantasy ad slapped on. Skip to 6:48 and click off
Ja shooting guns after a dunk clearly shows he's learned nothing.
Bad company corrupts good morals very concerning after 25 game suspension and still hanging around same influences that got him in some of those situations. Generational wealth on the line you gotta do all that you can do to keep yourself good!!
Cheers to the players who understand what being a pro athlete means and stay out of trouble!
athletes are not obligated to be your role model
2:29 “…that looks really bad for Ja. BUT FIRST, today’s sponsor!”
Why you do us like that? 😂
Dude Ja is fine, your over reaching
Isn't having a gun normal in the US? Why this is a big deal? only because hes a athlete? Cause for what I've seen is normal for a singer or streamer to have guns why cant a nba player have one ? I'm genuinely curious
Ja morant is pretty good but has a bad supporting cast
It's not his supporting cast that's getting him suspended. His supporting cast had a better record without him last year but, Ja got a new contract this year so that meant getting rid of some of the players from last year that were helping them win games, like Tyus Jones. So if you're wondering why they can't win without him, it's cos he can't stop doing dumb stuff that gets him suspended and he ate up most of the salary of the team.
Pretty good? He is literally a generational talent
He didn't do much. The 2nd Amendment grants him the right to own and show firearms. And....He punched a kid in the face. Hornets player did much worse.
Love ur vids AM Hoops! Seems like Ja Morant is just always in trouble, the decision to trade Tyus Jones was terrible.
yo bro where were you on january 6th? bring the receipts
Im with JA...I know he has to talk to the media because of the leagues obligations but the less he talks, the better. He should let his play on the court speak for itself and ignore the mainstream media altogether. The more JA and his Dad feel like they need to explain themselves to those people, the worse things are going to be...
He is under a microscope. Literally shouldn’t say anything . Literally should have a script given to him for the rest of the season of what to say .
I agree I don’t think he was talking about everything going on In his life , but he should know , or atleast someone in his circle that the media will be hunting for anything from him they can spin .
Also people do not realize the power a great lawyer/s and a lot of money has on keeping you out of legal issues . Pretty sure people have seen breaking bad the show , it’s not far fetched .
Add the bazooka and pistol poses in last nights game to the mix of tone deaf things Ja is doing. It aint a good look.
he hasnt changed lol
You cannot compare with Giddey because for Giddey it should be the police and justice who handle it. If NBA want to suspend him they should suspend him indefinitely considering the seriousness of the accusations, but if on the other hand he's not convicted by a court it looks strange, like the NBA has info that the justice doesn't ? If the NBA expel him, that mean they consider that he in fact did a something against the law, but still he wouldn't go in prison because the police didn't find anything ?
And they can't either do like for Ja and suspend him for 25 games, because that would be ridiculously light for the seriousness of the supposed crime.
Lets have this same energy with Josh Giddey and Karl Malone
the amount of people who have taken this simple statement and twisted it when it's obvious he's using it to fuel himself and his fans is actually crazy. Yall are nitpicking at this point 😭
Ja Morant should be suspended even more, showing guns in an instagram live can and will influence young kids and it probably already has, his whole character is simply unacceptable.
bro basketball and social media is different things what he is on the court is not the same as him off the court plus guns are legal in america ja's gun is also licensed so what's there to be suspended about
you can say that there's kids watching that live but men those kids have their own minds if they want to copy him then they will do it if they want to if they don't want to do it then they won't do it
plus there's their parents that can lead them to the right path not because ja flash a gun in a country that can use a legal gun
Lowke I used to hate your videos, but I misunderstood your game. Your videos are fire
Ja just came back and new problems already??
he doesn’t have problems they got problems wit him😂
@amhoops why did you change the thumbnail?
Bad takes. Lol
I don't care much for Barkley, but him and Shannon are right. Nothing they said resemble hate. Get your head out of your a$$.
This guy has the whitest takes
..everyone now a days just wants to get attention on Social Media and make something out of Nothing !! Ja really has done Nothing !! ..let's Keep It Real !! ..this Man Is the Best in NBA-Today !!
If josh giddey did nothing wrong jah DEFINITELY did nothing wrong 🤷🏾
What’s the age limit on your list? I didn’t see SGA anywhere on it.
Brandishing your firearm in public or in a private business is 100% an arrestable crime. His father saying "what crime did he commit?" Like are you serious? That pistol should never come out of concealment unless you need to protect yourself or someone else while in public or in private businesses. Period. What an idiot.
I normally don't keep receipts on myself when I make a mistake, it's just called holding yourself accountable.
Casey, will u make a vid about Edwards situation?
How does having a gun justify suspension?
Now he did the gun celebration 😭😭😭
Keep the receipts coming
You know your life is sad when you watch pathetic drama about some basketball player.
This channel was more entertaining before.
Olayers like Ja are the reason I oay minimal attention to the NBA now. I cannot stand the entitled attitude of these guys. Theyre just playing basketball, they're not curing diseases, saving lives, or improving society in anyway.
Hope you had a merry Christmas AM hoops
I think when he said I keep receipts as in, "I remember all the crap you was talking about me."
Yall blowing this outta proportion for views
Fam dad tweaking and weird sbd and clearly showing mental health issues
And my boy still learning and growing
He'll be fine
I swear I’ve seen this TH-cam title 10 different times already 😂
I would put Melo Ball 3rd on that list to "build around"... Only under Doncic & Wemby... (butttttt I might be biased because I am Hornets fan. lol) Seriously though - Melo has proven he can essentially do it ALL... both sides of the ball. His passing is exceptional and I think that is like the most important acutal ball skill when it comes to a "build-around player".. because you need whoever you main "guy' is... to be able to dish the ball around and feed the others. Anddd they really dont come much better than him when it comes to passing ability.
Donovan Mitchell be like: am I invisible to you?
Ja doing what he did is the equivalent of NBA not allowing certain colors of shoes to be worn on the court back in the days.
Salute to having Sengun on that list💪🏼🫡
The problem is ja lied to Adam Silvers face. He was super lenient on Ja before he was caught again with a gun and then he dropped that 25 game suspension.
Like guns aren't legal in America.
Adam Silver isn't being lenient he's being authoritarian. Land of the free is forgotten real quick when you ain't 🐖 skinned.
I have a theory: Ja Morant is unbelievably dumb.
I believe when Ja said “I kept the receipts” he was talking about the people in the media that were saying other players were better than him that he believes he is better than. Such as a Tyrese Haliburton, or Tyrese Maxey.
"lets talk about the yt boi Giddey, how come nothing on him but all on my Bull Nosed son?"
Lol. Daddy got them victim mentality tactics on point.
this video is so wrong. he said that about the team not the nba
Ja Morant still FINE in the WEST 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂
they spend more time breaking down players words than their game game(s) lol
You really made a whole video over one sentence.
No criminal act, but the NBA said it's players, ie...employees, can't be on Instagram flashing guns. It's no different then when I agreed to my offer of employment, I became subject to adherence of their company policies and subsequent discipline if I were to violate their policies. There seem to be a lot of people who just feel like they should be able to do what they want without any consequences smh
espn: '' we need to suspend again ''
