Not defending the guy…I think he’s dumb and pretending to be something he’s not…but if the gun is his and is on private property he isn’t doing anything illegal.


Yea, it's not illegal per se. But legality isn't the issue here. It's image and judgement. Ja's image is already in the trash, and he is showing to have absolutely zero critical thinking skills. Ja already has shown that he wants to be a gangster, he wants to show people how hard he is. He has threatened to shoot someone before. His entourage pointed a gun at someone. Yet after all of that, he is still waving around his gun. It's idiotic.

It's not the gun that's the issue necessarily, but the context of it all. let's say for example that if his teammate Desmond Bane(using another black guy so to avoid the race angle) is an avid hunter. In the offseason, he spends his time hunting and shooting. If he took a video showing off his new firearm he just purchased, nobody would bat an eye. Context matters.

It’s always someone else fault when they get in trouble for doing something dumb. The people in here defending JM shows the reason why. They have no accountability and their culture is shite.

The obtuse “everyone is critical of black people” angle you always play is worn out. Give it a rest.

Nobody is trying to take his rights away. We're laughing at him for being an idiot. I would call anyone an idiot who is flashing their piece around in public. That isn't responsible firearm ownership. Especially when the person being discussed has already had a public firearms incident not long ago.

Has there been a change? I think everyone has known the guy is a dumbass for a while. It's only been reinforced that he's a dumbass with this incident.

The NBA and his employer said not to do it. He did it.

Pretty common sense answer to your insincere question.

He has absolutely zero right whatsoever to play in the NBA, or to disregard the parameters set by his employer.

If he's not careful he is going to do a Plexico Burress to himself or to one of his entourage. Who the frick even puts the muzzle of a gun next to his head?

This is crazy. The only place that can reform him is LA and he should be traded to the Lakers so that can happen
