Ja Morant Suspended 25 Games For "Reckless Conduct"

[Wolverine]

I don't understand why he continues to make a dumb decision to wave a gun around thinking he's so cool. Maybe his second suspension will get his mind right for once and be a positive role model for himself, his fans and the people around him.

is that gun bro?

He is indeed.

The last thing you want to do is possess a gun, waving it around carelessly like a thug, putting those around you in danger if it accidentally goes off. He deserves to be suspended.

I dunno what this is exactly about, but sports organizations and sports teams need to be way harsher. This is his second suspension within 3 months for very similar stunts he pulled (Especially gun-related ones, while there are 2-3 shootings per day in the US)? Fuckin' ban him for a whole season or even for good.

I know that people can change and all that and I'm not saying everyone should get thrown out for minor/first offenses (it's all dependent on what happened) but man... the higher you play as a professional athlete, the more and the harsher you have to be held accountable for the actions you perform, within the competition, as well as outside of it.

Yeah they should of given him 40 Games in my opinion the way he's been acting the past few Months. I know this 2nd time he said it was a Toy Gun he was waving but whether it was real or a fake it's how you are presenting yourself is why you are being suspended this time around again.

I definitely thought he was gonna get more considering this was his second offense. And then he had the nerve to double down and lie saying it was a toy. Figured Silver would make an example out of him.

25 games is light work. He’ll be playing by Christmas/New Years.

Ja needs to surround himself with a better and more mature support system. Dude has all the talent in the world but it’s obvious that he’s still very immature.

 

[O-Blaze]

Yeah, 25 is a pretty small percentage when it comes to 82 games. Agree with HoHo on 40, that’s just a little bit under half the season missed, which I feel is pretty good given this is his second offense in just a few months.

25 games is nothing

 

[Deezy]

25 games is just load management.

Also, gtfoh with suspending someone for brandishing a gun.....you live in a country that fetishize guns and are legal to carry and pose with.

This is overreacting and overreach from the NBA.
