  1. Suspended without pay 😂 you love to see it! Gotta be gAnGsTa and now look at you 😅

  2. He needs to just focus on basketball and stop worrying about being a kid that's the problem guns are not toys stop playing with them and focus on what you need to do now you lost Millions for being stupid

  3. He ain’t nun nuntin rong da Nba b discrimitive and sheeiii!! Havn gunz be part of mah personality and sheeiii!!!

  4. Ridiculous. This is the most gun crazy society in world history. 4 year old's bring pistols in their backpacks to preschool. But what's really ridiculous is reading these white trash, racist posts knowing if you tried taking the guns away from these chromosome missing idiots, you'd "have to pry the gun out of my cold, dead hands". If Morant were white, he would be on the cover of The NRA Digest, and be the hero of every Clint Eastwood wannabe in 'Murica. But because he isn't, he's a gangsta thug.

  5. Black jesus needs jesus right about now.

  6. This is great!! He deserves more, such a risk for the ones around him.

  7. He went to council for one day and he healed back to the NBA on Monday

  8. Wow! Concealed carry permit? The way gang mrmbers have been murdering celebrities…i dint blame him. However, probably best to dtsy out of nightclubs and work on your game.

  9. Random but…I think the dun-dun-dun intro 🎶 for their breaking news segments should occasionally have a chipmonk version.

  10. Why would he need a gun at a night club? That night club is that dangerous? If it is that dangerous why is he there?

  11. Ja doesnt deserve a second chance. he should get kicked out of NBA and daughter taken away from being this gangster wanabe 🤦🏻‍♂🤦🏻‍♂

  12. Very surprising…

  13. Cliche black basketball player turned gang gang

  14. What I don’t understand is …… our politicians can have gun commercials ….. nothing happens to them at all ?

  15. Nba players told us to defund police in 2020

  16. Wow a WHOLE "8" games… Not sending a message… 🤔

  17. A black guy holding a gun…..big surprise.
