2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

That is what I am saying.

That isn’t a harsh enough consequence for someone displaying the IDGAF attitude.

He will get hit with a real consequence at some point if he keeps on his current track.

Just might be the law instead of the league.

They got to check him.

Yup.

Its obvious he was just paying us lip service.

Not sure what else the NBA can do.

But, Memphis can .

Unfortunately, talent trumps all.

As much as a idiot as Brooks is, he isn’t brandishing weapons in public.

Yet, a day after elimination, word got out that he’s dunzo in Memphis.

At this point, I would seriously consider trading his ass for Trae Young and parts.

JA might be on a collision course with incarceration or worse.

Shame on him, his clout chasing father and his silent ass mother.

At least this time it wasn't posted by him lol. STEPS TO SUCCESS

But to be serious, I am totally fine with him having a gun on him but need to have better friends about who are smart enough not to post those things

For me, it isn’t about having the gun.

It’s the irresponsible nature that he behaves when it’s in his fucking hands.

This little fucker is headed towards being Jayson Williams 2.0, New Jersey Nets version.

A gun is not a fucking toy.

And the law and the league will end up being the least of his worries if he stays in that environment. Just a matter of time.

Ja waving his gat around again.
What a damn fool

Exactly.

His owning guns isn't the issue. In this country, it is his constitutional right to own as many as he wants.

But posting video of him acting like it's a toy is not the kind of thing the league or his team needs out there.

Especially given some of the allegations out there about him making threats with his guns.

Just have to be smarter.

 

[Shanemansj13]

 

[trojanfan12]

It's probably time for the league to get involved too.

 

[bksballer89]

It's probably time for the league to get involved too.

Yep

 

[Shanemansj13]

It's probably time for the league to get involved too.

Maybe a reality check. 15 game suspension without pay

 

[dtgold88]

Is this going to be every day, in every thread?

Like, he earned this multi-page troll.

But, the rest of us didn’t.

I will just scroll passed…..carry on.

And to be fair just like when they went to the Finals in 2020 not even sure the Heat's own fans saw this coming.

 

[trojanfan12]

It’s not the league’s job to police the character of a grown man. JA will reap what he sows. He’ll figure it out or he will fail.

The character? No

The behavior? That is absolutely their job.

What he does or does not learn from that is on him

 

[Wamu]

Maybe Ja should change his last name to moron.

It's obvious he hasn't learned anything.

What a fool.

We live in a copycat, clout chasing, social media era.

I was just reading a article about all these children dying from doing the Benadryl challenge.

13 year old took 11 Benadryls and immediately started seizing and died.

They see people on the net doing dumb shit and think…..hold my beer!!

Kids idolize this moron and they don’t need any more motivation to shoot up more venues.

Just HORRIBLE optics.

ps. People don’t let social media raise your fucking kids.

If you do, you won’t have them long.

The NBA isn’t going to save this kid. Neither are the Grizzlies. It’s up to him. People talk penalties and that’s fine. But let’s not pretend that that will be the piece that “fixes” him or “saves” him.

What the what!?!?

Holy shit. Did that happen recently?

He makes $540 k per game.

He has endorsements with Nike, BodyArmor, Hulu, Beats by Dre, Uber Eats, Panini America, and PSD.

His net worth is already 80 mil.

He won’t lose any sleep.

Fix or save? No, not likely.

But at the least, it could hopefully teach him that he can't be doing this crap while he's in the league.

Last Month.
