 Yes, he is a Thug. Hes a child and a punk. Perfect fit for Memphis.

Yeah this isn't good:

NBA spokesman Mike Bass: “We are aware of a social media post involving Ja Morant and are investigating.”

And btw, there's also this video which I think people should check out from the sideline recently:

This guy is a thug. He acts like one and the fact that he carries around and flashes his gun in a lot of places is telling. The fact that the NBA is getting really involved now tells you everything. Every time there's a bit of conflict, Morant feels the need to get involved, sometimes with a weapon too. Yikes

How long does this behavior have to go on before he catches repercussions?  He acts like a total punk-ass and he might have even less self-awareness than Kyrie. 

He’s already jumped a 17-year-old with his buddies over a pickup game.  Surely this doesn’t need to escalate any further than it already has before somebody checks his behavior.

You're an AAU kid no one's buying you a G. You never had time to be running the streets doing dirt. You were traveling and playing ball nearly nonstop since you were 6. Leeches are just using you because you're an easy mark. Real G's see you a mark.

I hope the NBA takes a very hard stance against what Ja is doing. We don't need kids idolizing some guy who's playing pretend like 69.
ok fine

Doubt NBA will lengthily suspend one of its stars that help them generate revenue. Prob a 2-game suspension and a fine and some community service work and he back on his track.

The team just suspended him. I assume they are getting in front of this prior to any league discipline.

Why is it against the rules to show a gun on social media?

I do not understand what he did wrong.

Well, I think between this, the Washington Post report, and the entourage nonsense, enough became enough with Memphis.  Not exactly the actions you want from the face of your franchise.

I don't think it's just that, but all the other things he's involved with and the police cases/reports

Yeah, until he and his circle get involved with something else soon after. I don't think we're done with this to be honest. It's a shame, Morant is an awesome player and good for the league and Memphis. He's ruining it though with these shenanigans

Yeah.  When the media is reporting on three thuggish incidents, don’t pull a gun out in a club, and then post it for the world to see.  It hurts the NBA’s brand, at the very least.

But, suspensions aren’t the worst thing that can happen to a kid that wants to live life like a gun-toting gangster.  I hope he’s got a few responsible voices around him.

I'm sure that the Grizzlies corporate sponsors are thrilled over it.
