The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

They could win all 5, OKC is coasting now

Are they though?

Maybe they want 70.

Sure haven’t shown any signs of coasting.

This been his 3 pt celebration all season long just like other players. It is a non story.

There are videos of him doing the celebration in several games after hitting a 3 but yeah let’s act fake mad now lmao

Either way, the league is backed into a corner now.

No they’re not. Go ahead and suspend every other player that does it first. The nba players association is probably dying for the league to look like dumb asses and suspend him.

Mikal Bridges been doing a similar celebration for years let’s quit acting fake mad over nonsense.

Tough to tell with this team. 3 pt shooting disparity can swing any game, especially with the lack of defense on the Lakers' perimeter.

I don’t care about any of that, if he was told to stop and he didn’t, and then straight up said he doesn’t care, then we know what comes next

This is what keeps the Lakers from being truly dangerous, not great defensively since the trade

I’m sure he was told not to stop the celebration as I bet he told the league he’s been doing this celebration all season long. He was likely told not to direct it at the opposing team which happened in the warriors game only after Hield did it first to him but you don’t want facts. They can go ahead and suspend other players as well. The list will be long

Ok then the Lakers could go 5-1 over that stretch sheesh

Ja is unique on this considering his personal stuff. The league will win a showdown over this, hope he’s smart about it

You could argue against the "ice water in my veins" celebrations too, since they actually look like shooting up lol. Thanks DLo...

This is where we go all "old man" and say those kids should just cut the celebrations and get back on defense. Act like you've been there before.

Doubtful, not his thing

As I said before he’s been doing this celebration all season long. Was the game against the warriors the first game they watched ? It was only Memphis 76th game of the season.

Can’t have different rules for different players. This is an EASY WIN for the players association

You mean be a professional? Oh the horror.

No it’s not, it doesn’t matter if he was singled out, being told to stop means you stop.

 

[Pastafazul]

Ja don’t care no more, he’s leaving the league no choice.

Just tell him to start his own league, it’s really that simple.

Were you in the meeting? How do you know what exactly was said. Ja is daring the league to suspend him and rightfully so because a ton of players been doing that celebration. It’s not a big deal

Neither of us were in the meeting. One guy has a history, that is what people are missing.

I gotta say, I'm a huge LeBron fan but that rolling around on the ground a little bit ago was a bit much, @Pastafazul would agree I'm sure.

Leflop cryin wolf?

Got an elbow to the gut and acted like he'd been shot. But I was told getting hit in the liver can do that so
