I mostly just find it remarkable Ja seeking the hood out when he didn't grow up there. This isn't Ron Artest growing up in Queensbridge. This is Ja coming from the sticks trying to be something he never was and surrounding himself with a bunch of jackasses.

I find that more stupid than any gesturing with a gun

It’s character assassination. And now I’ll keep my mouth shut on what this REALLY is.
Oh, you couldn't be any clearer. And seeing you try to lecture @tlance (a black dude) about what's really going on is kind of hilarious.

Getting back on point... Ja doesn't deserve any type of strenuous defense. He's a rich poser.

He’s a great player and he’s paid his penance. This is much ado about nothing. Let’s see if the league office takes the bait and gives JA the narrative he wants that the league is picking on him.
He did but that showed he is pretty much tone deaf.

I am not black.

And I do get what he is implying (I think).

I doubt he gets suspended for that.

But man.

He is either really dumb, or just blatantly testing the boundaries.

Either way, he got to learn. Guns and NBA don’t mix. Pick a direction Ja. If you are going to be an NBA superstar, leave the guns behind.
Yep.

Carrying a gun isn’t a big deal.

Taking it out and showing it off or training laser sights on people is an implied threat.

And that is a big deal.

If you take a gun out like that you got to be prepared to use it.

So yeah, 1 bad decision away from disaster.
He keep it up and some real gangsters will make an example of him.

A suspension will be the least of his problems.

Almost as funny as you calling the guy in Dockers and Izod a black guy.

Prove that. It’s all hearsay and there are no charges. It’s internet scuttle butt and rumors.

It’s not naive to say that it’s a huge leap to project that a guy taking part in a culture that was created long before his birth is going to become a murderer. It’s a completely irresponsible claim and comment.

Not what I said at all. I did not say he was going to become a murderer.

I said he was 1 mistep away from that potential.

Big difference.

Surrounding yourself with questionable people who like to brandish guns is a recipe for disaster.

You know this and the league knows this.

That is why he was suspended for so long.
