Melo and Ja Morant

[atlanticuse]

I hope they suspend him for a year.

But then again, the NBA wouldn't do that.

In other news he was nominated for the Henry Ruggs Award. Or was that, the Plaxico Award?

 

[kcsu]

What gun did he have?

 

[Cusefan0307]

carmelo is our best player ever. (well a better pro than derrick or pearl)
seems like he chased the money rather than the rings. it will impact his legacy.

And Durant would have zero rings if he didn’t join Curry yet he’s still criticized too.

 

[Eric15]

Why would the WSJ cover this? Does he work for Goldman?

Apparently yes.

Memphis Grizzlies Suspend Ja Morant After a Second Gun Video Surfaces

Ja Morant was suspended after a March video showed him dancing with a gun in a strip club. Two months later, the NBA star finds himself in nearly the same circumstance.

Let's play a game called "name any major news outlet on Earth" and it will probably have a story about Ja Morant. I mean Al Jazeera reported it.

NBA’s Morant suspended for at least two games after gun video

Grizzlies’ player Morant was seen displaying a gun at a nightclub on his Instagram live account.

Who was the idiot that shot himself in the junk at some club a few years back? Maybe Ja should have a chat with him.

 

[orangehipfan]

he already went through one suspension.

Guns are an issue. NBA shouldn’t be passive with this.

i completely agree but the NBA cares about one thing and one thing only.

I'll take "CuseTroop" and "sobriety" for $1000, Alex.

How about “CuseTroop Shuns Sobriety”?

Reminds me of a guy I was in the Marine Corps with. We were out on deployment one time and he, for some unknown reason, decided to bring his own personal pistol with him. It's not as if we didn't have enough to play with- M-16's, at the time .45 cal pistols, M-60, M-50, MK-119's to name a few. Anyhow one evening he was in his tent showing off to a few other guys and shot himself in the foot. Needless to say that didn't end well for him.

Gun Owner Spends Another Disappointing Night Without Home Invasion

CHARLOTTE, NC—Letting out a deep sigh and saying he guessed he’d just have to wait a little bit longer before he got to shoot someone, local gun owner Chris Quaid told reporters Monday morning that he’d spent another disappointing night without a home invasion. “Aw, man, I can’t believe nobody...

Wasn’t that an nfl player? A giants WR?

Plaxico Burress

Apparently yes.

He’s lucky he didn’t get blasted in the club.

 

[kcsu]

Yes , looked it up it was Burress. Shot himself in the leg

 

[atlanticuse]

Plaxico Burress

See above. Nailed it. Or shot it?

 

[atlanticuse]

Yes , looked it up it was Burress. Shot himself in the leg

That wasn’t his leg.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Interesting with all of the shootings, and all of the protests and government officials saying no guns and stop this nonsense, there is NO pushback on this.

Society is in trouble.

Maybe because Ja morant playing “dumb ass dude with a gun” isn’t going around shooting up schools? I can’t stand this dude and I was one of the first to call him out on he and his families stupid behavior but this is a big nothing .

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

He’s 23 and a multi millionaire, “kid” is not a word that should be used to describe him

I am at the point that anyone under 40 is a kid

Sounds like an article from The Onion. I’d never click it.

Will Cain went to law school and doesn't understand that the 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with one's relationship with the NBA?

Well Will, if you were intoxicated in public, you might get suspended. You have the right to be drunk, the employer has a right to think it’s a bad image

We don't know if the firearm was legally registered, and - as I understand it with a concealed permit (going on 20 years) and the rules of owning a firearm - waving it around is not considered "responsible behavior".
Especially if it discharges.
We also don't know if he was close to a school, hospital, or another protected location.
Finally, while law enforcement decided to not press charges LAST time, there is now a case open, which could be re-opened in light of new information.

And it's bad for the NBA, bad for the team, and we don't know what was discussed between Mr. Morant and Donald Silver.

Pretty sure public intoxication isn’t legal

These things happen to the Giants. They also had the DE who blew off fingers with firecrackers.
