Shaq telling it like it is “Your not a rapper your a NBA player” 😂
He should have taken his own advice with all that shitty rap music he brought out.
@@styles9956 He wasn't serious with his rap tho + he wasn't trying to be a gangsta.
@@styles9956shaq wasn't even that bad of a rapper lol
I love Shaq's response to this. He calls it a dumb decision and not a "mistake" as many has said.
So Dames aloud to hold a gun and show it off 😂😂
I love what Shaquille O'Neal stated, "he did not make a bad mistake, he made a dumb decision."
Ok but he has definitely made bad mistakes so…
That dumb decision was a bad mistake tho
FACTS...Lol
Its literally the same thang. Nvm. Listening to Shaq give his opinion i get wat u wuz sayin wit yo comment.
I absolutely love Shaq. But that’s a “dumb” statement lol a mistake is inherently dumb. A dumb decision is aka a mistake lol
“Why you in the strip club with no shirt?” - Dr. Shaquille O’Neal 2023
😂
Fr why is he in a strip club? If i was rich id never pay to be in that type of environment.
@@RT-qz5ci not my point…I was laughing at the idea that a strip club is the location where clothes are expected to STAY ON. 😂
@@RT-qz5ci Fr hoes gone come to me 😂
STRIP club???
Ja went from being a point guard to being a shooting guard 😂
Nice 😂😂😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
💀
Make this the top comment LMAO
Lol
Damn I'm mad I didn't come up with that smh
Ja would be loved if he didn't try to act like an hood dude, you can't hustle backwards. hood dudes will give up everything for what Ja has.
Some random guy lost his life to a Hood guy due a Basketball match as we speak...
Having a gun is "hood" now? That means every white boy with a gun in the U.S. is hood too right?
Facts bruh. 🙏🏼
I have 0 problems with him. Still more likeable than curry 🍛
@@440-fishermandrock8Lmao youre just a troll
Shaq is so on point here. He clicked the live button. He wanted to be talked about, that's what IG live for. Now everyone's talking about him
Exactly, literally the dude has a daughter and acting like a fool trying to act all tough.
Rich kids
Shaq went into dad mode
Big Daddy Shaq has spoken
He went Barack Obama mode
Shaq just cutting through all the bullshit. Love it.
Yeah right. He’s already blaming “they”…
@@TheABElia yeah I’m not sure what that was about
@@TheABElia Okay, I’ll address it. He’s saying don’t let they, the white men that hold his career in their hand, dictate it by making careless mistakes. He’s not blaming anyone, get that out of your Fox News brainwashed head. NOW you know.
Shaq meanwhile avoiding being served court papers for promoting Bit coin,
when Dillon Brooks (27) is the 2nd oldest player on the roster, the team is bound to have problems of immaturity. 😅
Yeah the problem is the grizzly youngsters follow brooks as an example when they should be looking for Adams.
ㅤ
The thunder are literally the youngest team in nba history and haven’t had any problems like this. SGA is such a role model
Stop making exscuses just because there young doesn't mean they still didn't grow up with hella privilege,They might be young but they were grown up spoon fed they are choosing to act gangster because they never grew up in that life....
He's the second oldest but he acts like he's the youngest.
You’re missing the point. Ja went on IG live and waved his gun, AFTER the fact, that those two stories were out about him. He threw fuel on the fire, and wanted to see how far he could push this. The problem is his immaturity, the people around him enabling this behavior. I don’t have one ounce of remorse for him, any consequences he has coming his way, he fully deserves.
Alright buddy calm down, acting like you know him and shit 😂😂
@@AcCtrL ? I literally just stated all facts. Never said I knew him.
💯
Everybody make mistakes it’s what you do after he can change don’t try to bash him after a bad decision calm down lol
@@DaGoat-jd6ms wasn’t a mistake, it was a decision. You in a strip club waving a gun around on IG live, while the heat is one you already because of other issues that were brought to light. Put your shirt on, and go home to your daughter.
Meanwhile, Kawhi at 21 was still driving an old truck that was 30 years old. He still drives it.
That has nothing to do with Ja
@@kingme1025 The point is comparing the level of maturity
@@Jashan720 again that has nothing to do with ja! Everyone is their own person stop comparing people damn that sounds weird asl lol
@@kingme1025rs no one else is losing 30 million just the idiot ja warrant
@@salvatoreregalbuto5444 exactly lol..
Everything Shaq Said. Period.
Amen
exactly what's wrong with having a gun?
Did he not have a gun permit?
@@nickgreenjr8125 Hes in a strip club waving it around trying to act gangster when hes in the NBA with a girlfriend and kid, hes hustling backwards
“You’re not a rapper, you’re an NBA play”! Shaq! You’re amazing.
Shaq is not sugar coating it . He is telling it like it is !
Ja Morant finna make it out the league 🔥🔥🔥
What a graceful guy. He’s actually making his way into the hood.
taking his talents to the next level, the hood
Nah, he is fine in the west.
@@jonyao76 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No, he won't.
Shaq is on point.. hope Ja learn from this
A big reason why this has happened in this “new” era. Is because of 3 things. Money, social media fame and babying guys. This guy is a 23 yo. He isn’t a kid. He is a man! as a man you have a lot of responsibilities. Self accountability and self awareness are a big part of maturity. My father told me great advice as a kid. Before doing something, think of the end outcome and what the consequences could be regardless of the rewards.
For me personally 23 years old ..you may look like a man but you’re not !
@@kingsalomon6459 the thing most people don’t realise, this guy is already a father. It’s unacceptable
And u still did stupid sh*t like post this comment u f'n clown!
Shhh you might hurt some of these ‘men’s’ feelings
@@13gendaryx we live in a weak ass society. What else can you do 🤷🏼♂️
This is why I love the natural self confidence of a Jimmy Butler as far as individuality is concerned. He's like "Yeah I like listening to boyband and country music, I like to eat different food, trying different clothes (dude wore cowboy boots). I like to travel around the world and experience other culture. I don't have to like what you all like and be like everybody else. I'll be me regardless of whether other black men find me corny."
And THIS is why so many of us love Shaq…an American treasure of a human being..
You're trippin.
I was once lucky enough to bring my high school BB team to a Laker game, back in the 90's. A friend of a friend had connections, and we got to visit with the team in the locker room before the game. As I entered, too fast I literally ran into Shaq. Kinda bounced off of him like a gnat. He reached out and said, "Sorry," instinctively. This mountain of a man, rich beyond the wildest dreams of Midas, saying "sorry" to me, a total nobody. even though it was my fault., Never will forget that. He always praises his mom, and rightly so clearly, she raised Shaq to be a sincerely nice person. Then there's this kid Morant. Doing the things that dumb white people assume all black men do. Shaq's anger with Ja was clearly well managed, but he has every right to be angry with this punk.
Agreed
I like that Shaq delineated between a "mistake" and a "dumb decision." You might not know what you did was wrong, or you might know that what you're doing is wrong and you do it anyway. What I think Candace missed in what she said, is that sometimes, the most jealous people are your "crew," and sometimes they have no problem sabotaging you or letting you hurt yourself. You have to figure out who to prune.
Amen.
I remember I said to my dad when I messed up “it was an accident” he would tell me “oh an accident I thought it was you just weren’t paying attention nor thinking about what you were doing” & it has definitely followed me through life
The biggest problem about a young team is age, not that a team full of young players is bad- that’s setting up the future. It’s just that when one of the oldest players on the team is Dillion brooks and you see how he acts, then there’s no way the team is doing well in the locker room. They probably could’ve just signed an old head that was pretty good in his prime to just be the big brother voice- he could play like 3 minutes a game, but if he had decent experience then he could still help lead the team. Seriously tho that’s crazy that Dillion brooks is one of the oldest in the team. He acts like an 22 year old that keeps talking shit.
Shaq always keeps it real. Him and Charles are the only talking heads worth listening to and taking their words to the bank.
Real should be Ja suspended forever.
@@ricogomez4020 no he should have to sit out the rest of this year at least though
I agree. They don’t need to run off at the mouth to be noteworthy. Their careers speak for themselves. They’ve been there and they’ve seen guys go down that path and reap what they sow.
And both are sellouts let's not forget that
@@marcaskew5573 🦝
I can count a handful of crazy party nights where it was key having a friend who says "Haha, ok we're drunk time to go home".
Shaq is right that having the right friends around you is a big deal.
Birds of a feather flock together. Maybe henot the right friend.
Hey didn't make a mistake...he made a decision!
Mistake is not deliberate and no bad intention
Exactly 💯
@@paulz4667 Right, if it was a mistake, he wouldn’t have done it on purpose.
"You think if you start carryin' ain't nobody gonna try you? Nah, somebody always gonna try you and if they know that you carryin they gonna make you come out with it and once you come out with it you gotta be ready to go all the way. Can't be no doubt"

SHAQ has more wisdom than basketball prowess. God bless you Shaq. You are affecting more lives then you could ever imagine!!!
Jamal Crawford is so well spoken. I knew he would be on TV after his NBA career was over. His star will only continue to rise.
Rest
I love how he’s saying the decisions that we make. He’s including himself in the bad decisions and lack of foresight. Ja will have to deal with what’s coming and it’s good to see everyone holding him accountable because this is very serious.
Shaq needs to get it, correct! No one is taking anything away from Ja Morant, he’s THROWING it away!
If it was a role player doing this he would’ve been dumped immediately and the media wouldn’t be trying to talk all softly and nicely about this. Ja also being the best American player plays a part in their approach too
Well he brings the NBA more money that’s why
Ja's not the best American player LMFAOO
he’s definitely not the best but he’s one of the most marketable so i hear what ur saying
He didn't grow up like that ijs and I'm a ja fan
Shaq said it perfectly fuck what u saying
How is Steven Adams not 30. I feel like he’s been in the league forever.
Google It
Lol.
He’s undoing what so many of us have worked so hard to establish.. well said Shaq. That being said I think Ja will pick it up
Shaq dropping gems over there 💎
Thank you shaq.. he said everything..
People keep saying he was “accountable”. Bruh what about the 3 prior incidents to, this that we know about publicly, that he took zero accountability for?
Shaq hit this right on the nail! 👍
I'm from the 901 area Shag thank you so much for what you said those were my thoughts. Again Shaq thank you.❤
Ja Morant “Im hard w a gun”. Shawn Kemp: “Hold my beer”

You ain't ish! Lol

Always concerning when people infantilize people in their 20s or even 30s. He's going to be 24 this summer. He's been an adult for a long time.
6 years is a long time?
@@MelloYello187 I mean yeah
@@MelloYello187 Yes, it is. Six years in a relationship? Six years at a job? In prison? Six years since someone passed? Think of it in other scales if it helps
8:29 So many young Black stars with limitless ceilings.
We all have to learn lessons in life and now it's time for Ja to learn his lessons. It's how he reacts to those lessons and learns from them that will determine his future.
My mom used to tell me "if you wanna know someone, look at the company they keep". They're not his friends, they're leeches who want to bring him down to their level. SMH
People be dry snitching on themselves these days. He said it best. Soon as he pressed that button to go live its for the world to see and knowing all the haters are waiting for a a opportunity to catch you slipping. Hope the best for ja tho.
Kyrie is saying: thanks for taking the heat off ME Ja!
Jamal's point about senior voices in a locker room is a great one, in football (soccer) and Basketball the rosters seem to be getting younger and younger, and having the seniority of a Robert Parrish or a David Robinson or someone like that contributes so much more than what they do on the court.
I'm with Shaq on this. Shaq always calls it down the middle. Thanks Shaq.
Wow! This was two months back and now we look at this discussion in hindsight and it is clear he either never saw this discussion or saw it and ignored the great advice. Even after the second time that this has happened, I wish him well and that he finds peace.
P.S. Now, unquestionably, your actions must speak louder than your words. There was a time when both were closer to each other. Not anymore
Ja’s father is the only person I’ve seen on espn when it comes to an nba stardom
Shaq hit the nail on the head!💯
im pretty sure if social media was a thing back then we would have a couple of REALLY worrying shaq-stories! :-D
glad to see jamal on the desk :-)
Really hope he embraces all the advice. People have done a lot worse in the nba but learned from it and came out on the other side. We still love you Ja.
I really hope he gets it together. He's so talented and fun to watch.
A thug will always be a thug.
@@xmuta but he ain't no thug hes a wannabe, Who should worry more about his family and career.
Shaq “I’m not gonna jump on him” continues to just quietly well spoken🤣
Thank you Shaq!!! 👏🏼
LOL. Kobe never pulled out a gun to learn a lesson. LeBron never pulled out a gun to learn a lesson nor Shaq. JA intended to show firearms live on IG to what? Yes everyone. To look tough. Cuz he tryna be gangsta in the league. what he did himself was NOT A MISTAKE. It was INTENDED it was SELF INFLICTED. No lessons to be learned, carry on.
Just stop talking
@@syndifix9743 u commented to stop me from talkin u a funny kid
@@syndifix9743 you’re a clown
@@kayn6259 There's always lessons to be learned. How do you think growth and maturity happens?
@@BlkFreakozoid Exactly
It’s not a mistake, it is a CHOICE!!!
I would like to say to all of you the platform that I applaud you for your thoughtful understanding remarks! 🙌🏽
I love this more boys need to hear this not just famous basketball players but high school kids.
Ja is a talented player I hope he change because God gave him the best life and I hope he appreciates what he had because not everyone is as extremely lucky as he is. God Bless You Ja Morant.
Shaq is so on point! F the excuses. Ja is on a position that trillions of people wish they had and he is squandering it
Not everyone is against him. He has more ppl cheering for him than against him.
Great that he’d taken responsibility for that decision and I hope he surrounds himself with responsible and right ppl. And also humbling himself, willing to listen and be responsible.
All of them made a great contributions and hope they’re taking at heart. 😊👍🏽
Ending the video with "I don't like" playing in the background was funny.
I like that Shaq acknowledge it was a decision not a mistake.
I think what they should have focused on was how and/or why Ja was able to obtain a weapon so fast in Denver unless that weapon traveled on a plane
He traveled with it, he wasn’t in Denver, the airport DIA -is in East Aurora, the strip club he went to was in Glendale Co not very big at all 4blk each way is about how big it is. He was never in Denver.
Shaq knows what he is talking about. no matter how much you try to tell these young players let's face it they just do not want to listen!!!!!!!
It’s the wait for it to connect for me 😂😂😂
Ja's about to find out whether he truly has friends or not and it might not be something he can fully recover from at 23.
Ja's dad behaves as one of his 'boys', he needs to be a father.
These youngsters need to understand just because they have it, doesn’t mean it’s theirs. Lots of unspoken attachments and expectations come with keeping it or losing it all. Companies and organizations are going to protect their brand literally at all costs.
0:32 That got me thinking about Dave Chappelle "Lets see what Ja has to say about this" LOL
Praying for you Ja...............................03/08/23
Tracy Mac called it
Cant Wait for shaqs thoughts now
Ja was being Ja ,. He's moving his self out the way for the next Man to rise up .no tears hear for Ja .
Shaq Has Morals Preach Big Fella 💪🏾🐐
thank you Shak!
Shaq know wassup he a real one great player ✅💯💯
Shaq given the best response so far, props to Shaq not beating a man when he’s down. We know he was in the wrong and he’s taken accountability for his actions. Wishing Ja all the best for the future!
We need to be knocked down sometimes to get up and become better people. God gave us a brain to use. The fact that he used mental health as a cop out is cowardly. Something needs to be done before he gets hurt or maybe worse. We to stop giving him excuses and hold him accountable and not just 8 games or whatever it was.
His dad should’ve been a father who pulled him to the side after all those other incidents instead of acting like a fan
Great advice from the entire panel. I Hope Ja is listening!
I'm a Bulls fan who remembers when Jamal Crawford would just screw around. But the guy grew up, took responsibility, and really matured on and off the court. Got a lot of respect for him
"Your not a rapper You a Nba player " Shaq being real
But he’s a thug.
@@xmuta just cause he black he a thug ? U must be white as hell

all i have to say is Shaq is the man i respect everything this man says hope to meet him
This was a blessing in disguise because it looks like my guy was out here waiting to get caught. My prayer is that he'll do the hard consistent work to change for the better and that the right people/organizations will walk with him and keep him accountable.
That is exactly what you get for being to be someone your not😐
I don't know why he would want to be that person, I don't know why anyone would.
RESPECT SHAQ!!!!
Memphis has a pretty solid coach. Normally angry children don't always get along, but he seems to have found a way.
He might be turning into the AB of the NBA😮
I’m not protecting AB but he probably has CTE , it’s hard to control who you are with that disease . Ja probably has bad friends , he needs to cut ties completely. Shaq said it well , he’s not a rapper no need to be a gangster
So please help him to be a better person.dont breaking him down. At 23 ur all fun not being schooled about the serious consequences of bad behavior while working for a billion dollar company.adam silver please have serious monthly meetings about behavior. Consequences of loosing millions of dollar.
JA violated the CBA policies section 9 about a player cannot possess a gun during the traveling in NBA league and related NBA activity. So this means he brought that gun from traveling to Denver and to the club. He said he was dealing with stress, but you're in the strip club. No excuse for your actions.
Or he purchased the gun in Denver
