MORE: Ja Morant faces 'significant' suspension for gun videoHere's what some of the sphere's most vocal had to say about Morant's latest issue:Ja Morant has been associated with guns more than he's been associated with winning. Think about that for a second. Because you got Nike and the signature shoe, and suddenly, Kyrie Irving ain't that big of a problem.
Because Kyrie ain't harm anybody, Kyrie ain't put himself in some kind of situation where it was considered an endangerment to other human beings. Kyrie didn't do that, OK? …The point is, it's nothing compared to what we're talking about with Ja Morant, as it pertains to the company he keeps, the kind of stuff he's got on his person, along with just an attitude that says, 'You know what? I'll say what people want to hear. I'll convince them to believe it.
But at the end of the day, what am I really, really doing?' What Ja Morant says he wants to do. The question is: Is he going to do the work that is required of himself to get out of this, and for this not to be the end? 'Cause what's going to happen now? Nike going to pull that shoe? Is Powerade going to pull that drink?I know in my house, I told Matthew, 'You can't have that shoe. I'm not buying that shoe.
You're not buying that shoe. Our money as a family is not going toward that. ' …And by the way, I am fascinated with Ja Morant.
He's so smart. We talk about intelligence — you listen to Ja Morant postgame, I mean, the engagement level and the intellect are unmistakable. But yet, this whole fake gangsta theme, which I thought we were past as a culture some years ago, I guess he's not past it, he and his.
