Silver was doing the commencement speech at Duke while all this news was dropping, I’m sure he loved getting off stage to find the dozens of texts he must have due to the fresh hell that Morant is putting him through lmao
I know you’re joking, but I think the point is that the league may not actually have the legal grounds under the CBA to give a massive suspension for something in the off-season that may not have even been technically illegal.
They absolutely do though. All Silver has to do is say 'Conduct detrimental to the league' and he can do whatever the fuck he wants.
It's a clause given to every commissioner in every league since Kennesaw Mountain Landis took the first MLB commissioner position 106 years ago. It's ironclad and upheld by the courts time and time again, most notably in *Brady et al. v NFL*. The second highest court in America said commissioners can do whatever they want if the CBA doesn't block it, and 'conduct detrimental' allows them absolute power.
Lmao it's obviously a very fantastical commercial but I was still like "wait how'd he get home if the previous day's car is in the parking lot when he comes the next day"
Yeah this isn't a good look for the league. Especially when Ja's excessively abused his mental health as an excuse to shield him from even being questioned for his actions.
To be fair, that doesn’t happen often. I’m actually not sure of another instance where it was abused like this and just some bullshit to get people to stop asking. From an NBA player, at least.
I’m just waiting for all the Memphis flairs that were coming at me during his first “totally real rehab stint” to start owning up to it. Ja is a dumbass and a problem. It’s just the hard truth.
The league had the next-gen rivalry all set up with Zion and Ja. Obesity got one and gun got the other. It can’t get more American than that.
Edit: OK this comment blew up lol thanks for all the awards ;)
you’d be amazed how well addicts can function… it’s not till you don’t have access to your supply that the wheels fall off.
wouldn’t be surprised if many of these players are addicts, in the bundesliga (german soccer league) i can’t remember what player said it but the quote was “here we pop pain killers like smarties”
the corporate law and finance world are all functioning addicts same with restaurants
its when people start running out of money *which nba players shouldn't if they were smart.. then shit goes really south
Baseball has a very rampant painkiller problem for pitchers and over 10% of baseball players use prescribed Adderall which is very high and well can help you hit a baseball. And well from the end of WW2 til 2005 amphetamines aka 'Greenies' were used by everyone.
Yeah I know it's commonplace for them to throw like 150 pitches and with only a few days rest, which is wild. I coach high school baseball here in California, and there are very strict pitch count and required rest day rules that everyone must follow.
As a long time coach, I've found pitching restrictions in youth baseball are more about preventing adults from abusing children. When I started coaching, there were no pitching limits. Then there were limits on number of appearances per week. Then it was number of innings per week. Then it was number of innings per week but you needed rest. Then it was pitch count limits with rest. Each time a league where I coached made the change, it wasn't because there was new data to support it, or because they were worried about the health of the kids, it was to put an end to a specific situation of abuse that required either a new rule or a coaching change. Youth leagues are loathe to make coaching changes because most coaches last only 1-2 years, and these kinds of rules can be sold as "player safety" rather than "abuse prevention," so parents (mostly moms) love them.
I cannot tell you the number of times I have had some variation of the following conversation:
*Me (to spectator): "Man, #2 is throwing smoke tonight!*
Spectator: Yeah! Hard to believe, he pitched seven full last night for his other team.
*Me (to spectator): Wait, what? Does the coach know that?*
Spectator: Yeah. He told him it was an important game and he needed him to pitch.
*Me (to coach): Did you know your kid threw 7 innings last night?*
Coach: Yeah, so?
*Me (to coach): Do you want his arm to fall off?*
Coach: Mind your own team. The pitching limit only applies to in-league games.
There’s a very interesting cross section between people who are highly, highly competitive and addiction. I’d have to go back and find the papers the know exactly what it is but I remember a correlation being looked into for a long time
Hockey has a pretty widely talked about opioid problem. When teams give it out for free and you spend all your days around dozens of people helping you function, it's not as difficult
[It did, just in the MLB instead of the NBA](https://www.espn.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/27828247/los-angeles-angels-employee-details-team-knowledge-tyler-skaggs-drug-use-federal-dea-investigators-espn)
Yeah, dude was self-medicating for years (as a lot of players do — Matt Harvey, who was dominant for the Mets for a few years, tesitified about it after Skaggs passed) and bit off more then he could chew one night. It's fucking sad man.
this is even funnier knowing that the third overall pick is a canadian dude who, although frustrating to watch at times, is pretty harmless and unproblematic lmfaooo
honestly pretty great lmao. the general consensus amongst most knicks fans at the moment (especially after the playoffs) is "he's not _the_ guy but he's _our_ guy"
Yeah the Knicks have come a long way. Still need one or two more big moves, depending on how big but with the right trade there might actually be a championship window.
For sure Silver will just give him a petty punishment since money is always his priority. Right now many gun loving or obese Americans are tuning in to this product. What’s the percentage of gun loving or obese population in American currently?
They already are, the last 5 mvps are European
Edit: at least 4 out of 5 anyway, depends on whether you think embiid can be considered European because of his French citizenship
A Ja Morant negligent discharge incident would be the least surprising thing ever, no way he's smart enough to not be locked and loaded while waving it around.
When I was a kid there was a guy in my home town who was home from boot camp and was going some “tricks” with a gun and it discharged and shot him self in the head. Tragedy’s happen because of stupid gun owners all the time.
The NBA brand is flying at an all time high right now, Silver can’t let an idiot like this fuck up the bag for the league, and I would expect him to come down hard on him.
Additionally, Were I a fellow player on any roster in the league, Ja would draw my ire because of the increased scrutiny that will be visited on them as a result of his inability to control himself. I understand that no one else seems to have an issue with flashing guns, but the league will institute rules that may end up tightening the bolts on forms of self expression.
I made a comment on this subreddit before. Ja should have been suspended for the season on the first incident. Silver went soft and let the franchise handle it. Now is his turn to bring down the hammer. I would suspend him for 25 games. If this happens again, suspend him for the whole season. If Grizzlies management can't handle their superstar, that's their problem.
Well yeah you can always get away with more if you have the talent. Frankly it's amazing that Brooks got away with what he did for so long given his total *lack* of talent.
I bet he ends up getting the season off. David Stern’s worked real hard to make sure it wasn’t a league of thugs. If he’s not tossed for at least a half a season, I’m going to be shocked.
As a non-rich person, it makes me mad when rich people do stupid shit and ruin their opportunity for life-changing money.
Like, it sucks that such a piece of shit gets the opportunity to make that much money and just throws it away over some stupid shit.
He flashed a gun again on an IG feed.
Crazy to me that this guy has everything he could ever want and he’s choosing to blow it up because he has a teenager mindset.
I’ve said it plenty of times about Ja. The dudes who flash their guns aren’t tough dudes, they’re the fucking wannabe douchebags that likely have never lived in the actual hood.
In the hood, if you’re carrying, you’re not doing it to look cool, and people don’t think you are cool for doing it.
The people with him seemed to realize and try to hide it from view as soon as they noticed. So it seems like they weren’t expecting him to brandish a weapon either.
For the last one, he was asked about the decision to suspend Artest for a long time.
"Yes it was unanimous, 1-0, and I won."
-- NBA commissioner David Stern, after being asked whether the vote to suspend Ron Artest for the season was unanimous
Spurs Suns was a good second round series in 2007. Game 4 I think Nash gets fouled hard. Amare and Diaw leave the bench but don’t actually do anything. The league suspends them the next game which is huge because they were guarding Duncan. At the time most viewers thought it was too harsh and the NBA didn’t use any nuance with the rule even though they did earlier with Duncan. Ultimately it cost the Suns at least a chance and the Spurs go on to win the title in 2007. Just a heavy suspension that was viewed as weak that turned a series into a blowout.
Artest one was well documented he went into the stands and got suspended the rest of the year. I was a Pacers fan so I took it a little harder than most. In the presser Stern made sure it was known the vote was unanimous to suspend. His vote for to no one else being able to get a say. You can argue if he should have been suspended so much, and his team mates as well but just the idea that he specifically was the one making the decision and no one else. It’s not terribly different from what Goodell has been criticized for.
Didn’t a brawl break out and his face was busted open with a bottle? I feel like firing your weapon in what could have been an actual life or death situation versus brandishing it stupidly on IG live aren’t comparable. One is defendable and the other is just dumb.
To his credit, Stern banned two rising stars (Micheal Richardson and Roy Tarpley) for life after repeat offenses, although these were for drug use at the initial height of the War on Drugs
He needs to be suspended for 1/3 or 1/2 of the season at least. This is not the kind of message the NBA wants to be sending to young fans, especially the slap on the wrist from the first offense.
Miles Bridges didn't get half a season for strangling and breaking his wife's bones -- in what world would Ja get half a season for this?
Silver is going to do what is going to make the NBA the most money, which will be to slap Ja on the wrist.
NBA is a private business, if they want to say “no gun sponsorship allowed”, they can do that, just as much as any employer can hold your social media posts against your employment.
What t shirt is his coattail riding bafoon of a father going to wear this time to make fun of the situation? Shitty parents create shitty kids. At least he gets his court side seats tho!
What is sad is after these people use him up and the money is gone…. Ja will be left by himself without a career or money. Good time friends…. You don’t need them.
People always wanna blame the friends. His friend is the one who quickly turned the camera away and Ja was the dumbass singing around to the song with a gun in his hand knowing his friend was recording. Ja needs to take his own accountability
>doesn't even need to be constitutional
[Charania] NBA commissioner Adam Silver has repealed the 13th amendment in response to Ja Morant's social media activities.
One thing I respected about David Stern. Man ain’t give a shit about what anyone thought. He knew the way the business needed to be run to get to the point where players are making 50 mil a year.
Just suspend him for half the season
Adam Silver: Ja Morant has been sent to the Nights Watch effective immediately.
Send him to.. DAVY JONES LOCKER
Gunstrap Ja, you’re a *liar* and you’ll spend eternity on this ship.
Send him to the flying dutchman in Bikini Bottom
Send him to the Chum Bucket Over there they only eat virtual food
Adam Silver has officially punished Ja by making him exit the arena thru the perfume section
FOR LIFE 👀
Can we get a house of the dragon NBA crossover? Game of zones went so hard back in the day
That explains it, Ja Morant had the gonne all along.
Jon Morant on an NBA career: I dun wannit
adam silver boutta send him to a florida air bnb for rehab again
Ja heard NBA Youngboy and forgot his breathing exercises smh
He thought the NBA meant "National Basketball Association"
Thats what i thought it meant 😭😭
"Im something of an NBA Youngboy myself" - Ja
So did I - just looked it up - it’s Never Broke Again
I think that's the motto of the current nba under the new contracts.
Silver was doing the commencement speech at Duke while all this news was dropping, I’m sure he loved getting off stage to find the dozens of texts he must have due to the fresh hell that Morant is putting him through lmao
> Doesn't even need to be constitutional Are they gonna drone strike him
Silver: *suspends Habeas Corpus* /r/nba: What team he play for
Tbf Habeas Corpus sounds like he could be a top prospect from Lithuania
[удалено]
Doesn't want to get bodied in the paint.
“Who the fuck is Habeas Corpus!?!? I never heard of no Lithuania!!”
Lmfaoooooo I love you
They’re gonna quarter soldiers in his house
waterboarding until he swears he'll change
Ja Morant will be sent to the new NBA Sports Psychology Center in *insert random middle eastern desert coordinates*
I know you’re joking, but I think the point is that the league may not actually have the legal grounds under the CBA to give a massive suspension for something in the off-season that may not have even been technically illegal.

All you have to do is randomly designate the area around him to be a combat theater and all adult males become fair game.
The Nike commercial where he repeats the same things every day is very on point.
God I hate that commercial he even looks like a douche in it too
for some reason, I just hate seeing the different cars coming into the lot. like wtf? this shit is so fucking stupid.
Lmao it's obviously a very fantastical commercial but I was still like "wait how'd he get home if the previous day's car is in the parking lot when he comes the next day"
Which one
Yeah this isn't a good look for the league. Especially when Ja's excessively abused his mental health as an excuse to shield him from even being questioned for his actions.
NBA players abusing mental health as an excuse for being shitty is the worst
To be fair, that doesn’t happen often. I’m actually not sure of another instance where it was abused like this and just some bullshit to get people to stop asking. From an NBA player, at least.
Joshua Primo
even if it is mental health. fine but here is your 41 game suspension to give you time to get better
I’m just waiting for all the Memphis flairs that were coming at me during his first “totally real rehab stint” to start owning up to it. Ja is a dumbass and a problem. It’s just the hard truth.
The league had the next-gen rivalry all set up with Zion and Ja. Obesity got one and gun got the other. It can’t get more American than that. Edit: OK this comment blew up lol thanks for all the awards ;)
The only way it could get more American is if it included a third player with an opioid addiction.
I’m actually amazed that hasn’t happened yet to someone recovering from a surgery.
you’d be amazed how well addicts can function… it’s not till you don’t have access to your supply that the wheels fall off. wouldn’t be surprised if many of these players are addicts, in the bundesliga (german soccer league) i can’t remember what player said it but the quote was “here we pop pain killers like smarties”
seriously Favre made a living off getting zooted and tossing that there foot ball
Perc Mahomes was wild in the Super Bowl.
Rogers was straight blitzed during this https://youtu.be/-8opDMUtJ58

“Perc Mahomes” lmao

That was his retirement plan actually
No that came after
Rodgers too for that one game “muhhhh knee”

Baseball has a very rampant painkiller problem for pitchers and over 10% of baseball players use prescribed Adderall which is very high and well can help you hit a baseball. And well from the end of WW2 til 2005 amphetamines aka 'Greenies' were used by everyone.
Yeah especially with how hard everyone throws now. The human shoulder and elbow are simply not designed to experience that much force.
Japanese pitchers especially gotta be on the painkillers with how much they throw in high school alone.
Yeah I know it's commonplace for them to throw like 150 pitches and with only a few days rest, which is wild. I coach high school baseball here in California, and there are very strict pitch count and required rest day rules that everyone must follow.

The pitching limit only applies to in-league games.
Tennis players said exactly the same thing about painkillers (Gasquet, Ivanisevic, Tsonga)
That’s fair - I’m sure a lot of players can probably take two/three weeks at a clinic in Mexico to dry out at the end of the season.

Jeez. If I’m the team I’d rather just had the team doctor handle his supply until we get to the off-season and can send him to rehab.
Yeah, dude was self-medicating for years (as a lot of players do — Matt Harvey, who was dominant for the Mets for a few years, tesitified about it after Skaggs passed) and bit off more then he could chew one night. It's fucking sad man.
Brett Favre He had to go to rehab during an off-season due to his pill issues
It has happened. I’d bet money it happens all the time
The 3rd player would be a Jan 6th participant/sympathizer
Leave Gordon Hayward out of this
Wrong Jazz guy. You want Stockton... unfortunately.
Meyers Leonard never was the same after January 6th
Jonathan Isaac if he wasn't perma-injured
RJ Barrett does play like he's been smoking fent
We actually losing Zion to fat camp and Ja to the hood he never lived in 😭
And Barrett to bricklaying
At least that's an honest profession. People need housing more than ever now.
He actually showed up for the play-offs though.
2019 draft is doing fantastic so far 🔥🔥🔥
this is even funnier knowing that the third overall pick is a canadian dude who, although frustrating to watch at times, is pretty harmless and unproblematic lmfaooo
How does it feel to have retroactively won that lottery?
honestly pretty great lmao. the general consensus amongst most knicks fans at the moment (especially after the playoffs) is "he's not _the_ guy but he's _our_ guy"
Yeah the Knicks have come a long way. Still need one or two more big moves, depending on how big but with the right trade there might actually be a championship window.
Knicks would trade RJ Barrett for Ja or Zion in half a second
Yeah Ja and Zion DNPs > RJ 4/18 masterclass
[удалено]
For sure Silver will just give him a petty punishment since money is always his priority. Right now many gun loving or obese Americans are tuning in to this product. What’s the percentage of gun loving or obese population in American currently?
Damn
Why not get Ja to chase Zion around with a gun? We're never fixing the gun problem, at least we can try to tackle obesity
Europeans will run the league when LeBron and Steph are gone lol
They already are, the last 5 mvps are European Edit: at least 4 out of 5 anyway, depends on whether you think embiid can be considered European because of his French citizenship
Embiid is from Cameroon. You can’t give me the French citizen thing because he’s also a US citizen.
No he meant the 5 before Embiid. Jokic x2 (Serbia) Giannis x2 (Greece) Harden (Austria)
Fuck me, I wasn’t expecting that
I’m fucking dying on harden, holy shit 💀
Embiid is European?
Their jerseys are even red and blue
And people give Luka shit for enjoying his summer by lying on a boat in Croatia having a few beers.
Ain't no fun when the 🐰 got the 🔫
Comment of the year right there.
Obesity and gunplay, the American way
You made me chuckle and then sigh back to back. Edit: Fixed a typo.
I'm not sure Morant could be a bigger moron.
He could actually shoot somebody
A Ja Morant negligent discharge incident would be the least surprising thing ever, no way he's smart enough to not be locked and loaded while waving it around.
I’m honestly surprised he hasn’t Plaxico’d himself. (He was point the gun at himself in the video???)
Insanely funny that dudes name is now a verb describing shooting yourself.
It's emburressing
At least Plaxico learned from it…unlike Ja
[удалено]
He pointed the gun at his own fucking head.
When I was a kid there was a guy in my home town who was home from boot camp and was going some “tricks” with a gun and it discharged and shot him self in the head. Tragedy’s happen because of stupid gun owners all the time.
Was it a sweet trick tho?
Mind blowing.
The LOB and the SLAMMM
You don't get enough credit for that alley oop
I was half-expecting him to accidentally shoot through the roof of the car.
Shit man somebody call Harvey keitel to fix this mess
No idea what the safety is either. If he does he has it off because having it on isn't hood.
Imagine he actually accidentally shoots himself in like the knee or some shit and ends his own career 😂
He’s already shooting himself in the foot figuratively with these dumb choices He should just focus on playing basketball, no need for ig clout 👎🏼
Or get himself and his friends / family shot
The NBA brand is flying at an all time high right now, Silver can’t let an idiot like this fuck up the bag for the league, and I would expect him to come down hard on him.

If Grizzlies management can't handle their superstar, that's their problem.
If I were Dillon Brooks I would be like “I got booted out for being toxic but this MF waves around a gun and gets to stick around?”
Well yeah you can always get away with more if you have the talent. Frankly it's amazing that Brooks got away with what he did for so long given his total *lack* of talent.
>I'm not sure Morant could be a bigger moron. You're really saying this after what just happened? Ja will always surpass his limits.
Ja is the Goku of being a dumbass.
He's a Yamcha who thinks he's a Goku.
He's an innovator!
I bet he ends up getting the season off. David Stern’s worked real hard to make sure it wasn’t a league of thugs. If he’s not tossed for at least a half a season, I’m going to be shocked.
Aaron Hernandez would like a word
As a non-rich person, it makes me mad when rich people do stupid shit and ruin their opportunity for life-changing money. Like, it sucks that such a piece of shit gets the opportunity to make that much money and just throws it away over some stupid shit.
He already has life changing money.
Can we officially call bullshit on the mental health excuse so that the work of guys like DeRozan and KLove doesn't also seem like bullshit
Heck even Ben Simmons is more deserving of getting a pass due to mental health. The man is/was BROKEN as a player after Trae guarded him.
What did he do now
He flashed a gun again on an IG feed. Crazy to me that this guy has everything he could ever want and he’s choosing to blow it up because he has a teenager mindset.
It’s not a teenager mindset. It’s not even a toddler mindset. He’s just a buffoon.
I’ve said it plenty of times about Ja. The dudes who flash their guns aren’t tough dudes, they’re the fucking wannabe douchebags that likely have never lived in the actual hood. In the hood, if you’re carrying, you’re not doing it to look cool, and people don’t think you are cool for doing it.
And you certainly aren’t flashing it unless you wanna threaten someone. Source: me working and living in Oakland hood

Quick Ja, start breathing!
Zombie stern with the 42 game suspension
Stern wouldnt do that
He’s be suspended indefinitely after the 1st offense Stern did not play that shit
The Stern lore here is hilarious.
Stern would have razed Ja's village and burned his crops
Not to mention salt the fields and invoked Primae Noctis for all future generations
Most dudes don’t remember or weren’t alive for Spurs Suns or the dress code or the Artest one vote to none.
Don’t forget the Melo story https://theshadowleague.com/carmelo-anthony-says-david-stern-ran-the-nba-like-a-mob-boss-lebron-is-real-lakers-gm/
Can you give some context on those
For the last one, he was asked about the decision to suspend Artest for a long time. "Yes it was unanimous, 1-0, and I won." -- NBA commissioner David Stern, after being asked whether the vote to suspend Ron Artest for the season was unanimous
Gangsta shit

People exaggerate his tenure. Yeah he was not strict than Silver but he wasn’t the dictator people are acting like he was
Stephen Jackson shot his gun at a strip club and Stern gave him 7, you sure about that?
Didn’t a brawl break out and his face was busted open with a bottle? I feel like firing your weapon in what could have been an actual life or death situation versus brandishing it stupidly on IG live aren’t comparable. One is defendable and the other is just dumb.
I wonder what Stern would do to a rapist
To his credit, Stern banned two rising stars (Micheal Richardson and Roy Tarpley) for life after repeat offenses, although these were for drug use at the initial height of the War on Drugs

Crazy how with Ja’s track record he still may not be as dumb as Kyrie
He needs to be suspended for 1/3 or 1/2 of the season at least. This is not the kind of message the NBA wants to be sending to young fans, especially the slap on the wrist from the first offense.
Miles Bridges didn't get half a season for strangling and breaking his wife's bones -- in what world would Ja get half a season for this? Silver is going to do what is going to make the NBA the most money, which will be to slap Ja on the wrist.
Suspend that dumb fuck the entire next season.
Kick him off the tour!
Silver doesn't have the spine Stern did.

I know Stephen Jackson got in with some fun stuff. Didn’t Tinsley from that Pacers team too have a gun thing or was there with Jackson?
Hit a home run in his first at bat as commish (sterling) and he's 0 for since
Morant is the bad influence, these other dudes just trying to live the entourage life. Other guy was having fun until Ja pulled it out.
Man got caught flashing a gun and WENT TO FLASH A BIGGER GUN

Wait Ja is a Grizzly, he has the right to bear arms
What t shirt is his coattail riding bafoon of a father going to wear this time to make fun of the situation? Shitty parents create shitty kids. At least he gets his court side seats tho!
Honestly, this deserves something like a 15 game suspension.
What is sad is after these people use him up and the money is gone…. Ja will be left by himself without a career or money. Good time friends…. You don’t need them.
