      If Silver had a hammer to swing, he already would've swung. David Stern wouldn't have let that fly. You listen to Silver talk and he sounds like he got fooled by Ja. HOW???? Everybody and their momma knew he was gonna do it again. How can this impotent fool say he was shocked? Are you kidding???? To even have this convo on tv he's basically begging for the court of public opinion to help him. This will not end well

    This applies to everyone, not just Ja Morant, but as you climb the ladder in life to hopefully become more successful, there may be people who have been in your life that you eventually have to leave behind because they’re holding you back from becoming the best person you can be. In Ja’s situation, there are clearly people in his life that are not the best circle to be hanging around.

      The biggest boss of a company is usually never spoken badly about out lout or in writing because of the easy "your fired" or suspended fallout. However, that does not mean that people don't like or support everything he does. Silver and Ja are actually both a like. Both have the ability to command a group, Silver with the "player conduct, I can suspend you for anything" and Ja with the "i am making 40M a year, I am the shot caller of this gang" and make them fall in line and do what they say. NBA just wants none of its players to own guns which makes absolutely no sense.

    Ja's about to get a heavy dose of reality. Don't mess with the brand. If you're more a liability than an asset, you'll get crushed like a bug no matter how high you can jump.

    Not really a big deal that Ja owns/brandishes a gun… he didn’t hurt or kill anyone… just a bunch of media crying about nonsense 😂

    Whew, man im waiting for that breaking news on what Silver decided for Ja.
    Part of me is saying it won't be bad, but at the same time, Silver is gonna make an example out of him that will have other players think twice, especially when he felt Ja was lying to him.

      ​@@Windows488 Would be surprised... depends on the PA too. But it will be severe. Problem is... this is the 2nd time in 3 months -- that he was CAUGHT. Chances are he does stuff more off camera or not live.

    Suspend Ja for the whole NBA season. Let him learn with a harsh punishment so he understands. Right now Ja thinks he can get away with anything since he's got the superstar status.
