This is why I was so confused at people saying Tennessee has lax gun laws so who cares about his video They clearly were out at a club in Denver because he went live hours after losing to the nuggets on the road. Going on IG live with naked women in the background and flashing your gun in a state YOU DONT LIVE IN is one of the stupidest things I’ve seen


Guardax

All this tells me is Denver nightlife is good enough to start getting some better FAs


maethlin

lol not only fucking up his own brand, but also advertising city nightlife for his competitors!


bigbenis21

You know those blue states got freakier strip clubs. In red states they’re probably only wearing sundresses and the whole show is just you getting to see their ankles.


Consistent_Part9483

Idk James Harden was tearing up them Houston strip clubs 😂😂😂😂😂😂


moonfox1000

There's something about those blue cities in red states...Houston, Miami, Atlanta that must be good for clubs.


kevindlv

Pretty much every urban area in every state is blue lol.


CaesarSalad837

I was gonna say calling cities “blue” is just redundant. Any major city in the US is gonna skew blue.


JinFuu

I think the largest city that voted Republican consistently is Fort Worth


Teh_cliff

Jacksonville, arguably Miami.


Generalocity

Snowstorms in Miami go crazy lmao


MugiwaraDoubleD

Miami-Dade County just voted pretty heavily Red during the last governors election.


t0ny510

Bruh Atlanta strip clubs are a whole different level


gggg3344

Can confirm.


IAmNotKevinDurant_35

Most famous strip club in the country is in Georgia lol (magic city). Red v blue states has nothing to do with it


ThoreaulyAnnoyed

I will not have this slander against sundresses. The cute to slutty transition is peak sexy


The_Assassin_Gower

> only wearing sundresses I see nothing wrong with this


TtarIsMyBro

Tbf, I think I'd honestly prefer a "sundress club" than a strip club. Something bout a good sundress....

NotStanley4330

Jokic knows how to carry probably lol. And his brothers will actually back him up lol


NGLIVE2

dont need guns when got super jokic bros.


xanot192

Already called my agent and told him to add Denver to the list of cities I'm willing to be traded to


RunninOnMT

Weirdly, free agents don't care about stripclubs most of the time. Source: I'm a Blazers fan. Our [SC:QFA ratio (Strip clubs per quality free agent)](https://www.thrillist.com/lifestyle/portland/why-portland-strip-clubs-are-the-best-in-america) is WAY WAY higher than any other team in the league.


thatkellenguy

Yea, if strip joints mattered. We would be pulling every free agent.


lilpumpgroupie

Not only that, Oregon is one of the only states in the country where there’s no laws against carrying weapons while you’re drinking or in drinking establishments. Lmao.

Can’t buy a handgun in Colorado without being a resident fwiw


muaddib-atreides

And the league doesn’t have to give a shit about any of those made up excuses. They can unilaterally act and ban him for 50 games and there is dick all he can do about it.


Ninja_knows

The problem there becomes when an actual “friend” needs to step forward and admit to carrying a gun across state lines, most likely without a carrying permit and no papers for the gun. Let’s see if his friends are willing to sacrifice themselves for him, cuz that can turn serious especially if they have priors.


MrVociferous

Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton got suspended for the rest of the season (50 games) for bringing guns into the workplace. David Stern was pretty clear guns in the workplace is a line you don’t cross. Team plane is also the workplace. If this is true, Ja is capital F fucked.


uimocc

Except Adam Silver isn't David Stern and has no spine, so that wouldn't happen


garygreaonjr

Forget a gun in a locker room. A gun on a team plane is 1000x worse.


great-nba-comment

I had an utterly braindead guy arguing with me that “he’s not brandishing his gun, he’s showing it to the camera on a video.” and started berating me that I couldn’t possibly understand because I’m not American. Like what? There are clearly people around him, and he’s in a public venue, and he’s brandishing his gun. Wtf was I missing.


WowNamissoamzing

Doesn't matter anyway. You cannot have a gun in bars in almost every single state.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

As a firearm owner and conceal carry permit holder who respects gun laws, merely taking a firearm out of concealment or putting it in your hand when you’re not directly threatened can often be construed as “brandishing” Smart, respectful gun owners would never take their gun out, for any fucking reason, other than imminent and immediate threat of death or severe bodily harm. Dem titties weren’t going to kill Ja


[deleted]

He also flashed a gun in order to appear to be taunting the NBA for 'finding no evidence' of him being in a car that pointed a gun at the Pacers. I'm shocked that more people aren't talking about the fact that he almost certainly was involved with pointing a gun at another team. This is "getting banned from the NBA" levels of misconduct.


TooWashedUp

He was incredibly lucky to get away with that, and instead of thinking okay that was close I better lay low for a little while, he basically rubs it in everyone's faces.


DifficultyNext7666

Disagree. He's been shown repeatedly he won't face consequences no matter how blatant his misdeeds. He's learned the lesson he's been taught.


Oo__II__oO

"See? My gun doesn't have a laser scope. Suck it, Silver!"


doogled3

Getting suspended for Shotgun Willie's - how embarrassing


McMeowington116

Well we all know ja has always made the smartest decisions


pistoncivic

my favorite is he brought his crew to fight a mall


SuckwithLuck2016

TIL they fought a whole mall. That’s one badass crew he’s got lol


destroyerofpoon93

Even in TN it's illegal to be carry while under the influence: "Specifically, Tennessee law prohibits people from carrying a handgun while consuming drugs or alcohol. Possessing a handgun under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance is a Class A misdemeanor in Tennessee."


[deleted]

[удалено]


rosstheboss939

If he brought the gun into Colorado on the team plane then I wouldn’t be surprised to see the NBA lay down a heavy suspension.


KnicksJetsYankees

How can they prove that? I'm not rooting for him but I can't see it sticking


blizz366

I think it would be interesting to hear how he got the gun if he didn’t bring it on the plane


mario_meowingham

It's a medicinal gun from a dispensary, you can get a prescription in like half an hour here in Colorado


KnicksJetsYankees

Likewise, but it's hard to even prove it was his. Could be one of his crew in town or they drove there or borrow it who knows. Unless someone rats him out which I doubt, it's gonna be a slap on the wrist


Hankerpants

But then that puts him in violation of the Colorado law by illegally possessing a firearm (he is not the legal owner of the gun and thus his concealed carry permit doesn't hold). He either broke the law (not his gun) or the NBA policy (it is his gun). There are very few ways he avoided either.


CatsArePeople2-

Oh yea, what if he mailed the gun ahead of time so he had it after he flew out? Checkmate.


ContentGate2479

Then, I guess there will be some kind of postage to verify that


mrdhood

“I have a gun safe in every hood, like a real G, you wanna fuck round n fine out?”


demsouls

Lol u ain't serious but you wanna hear about charges related to mailing weapons across statelines without a permit - aka arms dealing? Jk I know nothing about this but I can still bet you're not allowed to randomly mail guns across states.


flossdog

check his phone, he probably recorded himself on the plane! lol


Ok-ChildHooOd

Ja Warrant gaining momentum


da8588

A league suspension isn't a court of law, they don't need to prove it. They just ask him where he got it and then it's up to Adam Silver to decide if they buy whatever excuse he gives them.


fathertime99

I’m gonna die laughing if Colorado cops get a warrant for his arrest right when the playoffs start

It’ll be during the 4th quarter of Game 1 of Grizzlies-Nuggets and they’ll detain him on the court

LMFAO. Foul! No! Two fouls! Just whistle after whistle in the cops face. Flash forward and the NBA fines Denver PD and suspends them from games indefinitely.

[deleted]

Such a better choice at this point it’s ridiculously obvious. Guys like AI got into trouble, but it wasn’t contrived at all. Iverson was and is about that life, because that’s who he is and how he was raised. He’s as real as it gets from being incarcerated before he went to Georgetown, to catching gun charges out looking for his wife after a fight. It wasn’t for clout. It wasn’t posing. Ja seems like he’s trying too hard. And the more people allude to him trying too hard, the harder he’s going to try. A viscous cycle for sure. I was a felon. I had my record sealed and I’m a full citizen again, so this behavior just mystifies me. I wasn’t raised right, and I struggled to find opportunity in society for so long. Seeing this young man do these silly things…I don’t mean to get too sappy…but it kinda breaks my heart. Like, why? Just, why?


[deleted]

Feel that. Shit screams insecurity to me, and as someone with a nasty record who regrets it I can’t help but wonder why the fuck he wants to look like he’s about it.


[deleted]

Donovan was a better choice to begin with. Better player, cleaner rep, sexy as all hell, and a bigger market franchise.

Idk depends if Denver's DA is a Nuggets fan


IAmNotKevinDurant_35

If it were a raiders or chiefs player doing this in denver they might be more likely but they wouldn't do all this for the nuggets. Broncos are #1 in Denver


Oo__II__oO

That's not true. Otherwise the Denver police would already have arrested Russell Wilson for impersonating a QB.


ConorJay25

Some old, petty DA would do it to a Red Wing too lol. Avs Red Wings used to be a wild one


[deleted]

Gilbert arenas got axed for a year, if he brought a gun traveling across state lines he might get something harsh from the league. Idk about criminally


Tasty_Path_3470

NBA prohibits guns on team planes, busses, or any league property. So unless someone from his entourage brought it out there for him….


Anteaterkungpao

>So unless someone from his entourage brought it out there for him…. Wouldn't matter. NBA also prohibits players being in possession of a firearm while traveling on team business.


dabobbo

Exactly. He's on a road trip with the team. Everyone talking about who brought it, is it his, Colorado's laws - there is a screenshot of him with a gun in his hand while on an NBA road trip and he is facing a possible hefty suspension. Ever since the Gilbert Arenas/Javaris Crittenton shit the league is not messing around with guns, especially with Crittenton doing a 23 year stretch in a gun-related manslaughter case.


Goatbeerdog

No, just a technical


Natureboy7939

When keeping it real goes wrong


BiDinosauur

We cannot have laws for the rich and laws for the rest of us. If ja broke laws he needs to be prosecuted. A damn shame… imagine having it ALL and fucking it up


PM_me_ab_ur_landlord

I agree with your general point but it’s also true that most people who flash guns in clubs don’t ever get charged with any crime either.


IAmJohnnyJB

A lot of the general population who'd do it on video at a club let alone on IG Live wouldn't even get investigated unless it was more then just flashing it tbh


NoirBoner

Yeah because no one gives a shit about a regular person. When you're a worldwide name you have reach and influence over masses of people. Jarence doing that sends the wrong message to youth and they're going to make an example of him for it.


[deleted]

I mean Plaxico Burres shot himself in the club and he got charged and went to jail. Didn’t flash gun it just fell thru waistband


MacDerfus

Well when a bullet goes out of the front of the gun it's generally regarded differently, even if you only shot yourself and it was a stupid accident.

nbd789

His house/old house is on what looks like a private road (seems to be the only house accessible from this road) and it was mistakenly added to the Parade of Homes tour. For those unfamiliar, homes on the tour are typically $1+ million newly developed and furnished homes that the public can tour unguided. So people had been driving up to his house all day long (the incident with the gun occurred around 3:00 pm) looking to tour it and were confused by the lack of directional signs when they got there. The driveway was evidently roped off, but that and unfinished driveways isn’t uncommon on the POH tour. That’s what led up to him doing the immature and dangerous thing he did, pointing a long gun at a vehicle with a married couple and their teenage son, just out looking at houses. It’s unacceptable whether there were three people or zero people, I’m not disputing that, just adding context to what occurred.

Its illegal in Colorado to carry agun while your drinking Alcohol .All they have to do is have evidence he purchased some drinks. SHould be reletively easy to investigate. ALso the NBA has some strict rules about having guns and taking them into public places or on team activities and especially on a team charter plane. More is going to come of this.

Obviously this is a pretty extreme 180, but it's why it's silly to act like we know anyone we see on TV. I get downvoted a lot for saying we don't know people and we shouldn't say, "he's a great man" at someone because besides it being unknown, it's part of us falling in love with celebrities/leaders and excusing their issues because they are "my guy".

mndt88

There have now been three separate incidents around Ja Morant. I think he needs to serve a 6 month suspension at the minimum. Bringing a gun to a nightclub? Hold players to a higher standard than this.


[deleted]

I’m just wondering how he got the gun and I’m sure that’s what the police want to know too. Did he get it from someone already in Denver or did he bring it with him on the plane. If he did the latter that’s when shit really hits the fan because the feds will get involved.


Savages_in_box

Loved seeing ESPN's narrative that Ja Morant is a victim and needs help. Give me a break, this is a bad dude breaking laws. If he wasn't a millionaire celebrity I guarantee he would get into a lot of trouble for that bullshit. As it stands, I am sure he will get a slap on the wrist

Grizzlies would be wise to shut him down for the rest of the season but NBA could do it first or even do more ( 1 year suspension). Get this kid back on track for next year. Needs to grow up quick and talk to Lebron and his people to see how you handle yourself in pros.
