His father is a alkie so what he gonna say. Drugs and alcohol he has issues
Please send me your email address I highlight Ja's problem from an African perspective.
That's a Dam. Gd. Point. True. Fact's
Ja's parents seem like loose cannons themselves... his actions are starting to make sense.
Facts especially the mom
Hes a grown man bruh old enough to earn himself millions that aint on his people
@@GQ-jv9uw what did the mom do?
@@RelK29 Call her son too two different incidents to hurt somebody
His Dad is too busy being his friend... The mom made suspect moves too..
Mobley's perspective on this is priceless; literally lived the life that Ja wants so desperately, is also a father to someone who looks up to Ja, there is genuine fear and discouragement in his voice discussing this. He has a responsibility to his daughter to be the best possible man he can be, and he continuously chooses the foolish decision. I believed he could turn it around after the last incident. For his daughters sake I'll pray for his growth out of this behavior
He had a kid as a kid. That is not going to change his life immaturity. He should not have a child but that's a different issue.
What’s mobleys name?
@@farymaldonado3749 Cuttino Mobley
@ShemShakur He keep playing fake gangster and just a matter of time before real bullets come flying his way.
@ShemShakur I don't care if he's real or not. Both get killed. My point is, stay out the streets.
I’ve never felt less badly for someone in my life. Play a stupid game, win a stupid prize.
A better question is why are you so invested in another man's life?
@@monochrome493 no. It’s not a better question. It’s a deflection.
@@kendrickburris1543 Literally. Some people just have to look for RUclips comment fights lmfao.
@@monochrome493 I made a 2 sentence comment. You seem more invested than Ja.
@@monochrome493 frat house cult you belong to fried your brains
Cuttino Mobley speaking Facts!!!
Wise old man
facts and u can tell he was trying hard to not be disrespectful in anyway at all
Cuttino Mobley's personal story and Joy Taylor's cultural analysis are very powerful.
No. 13% of the population is responsible for 60% of gun homicides. Guns are not the issue.
Joy was trying to make some what aboutism point
Just scrolling through the comments, i see Ja has a lot of enablers who are still making excuses for him.
thats exactly why we are in the same situation again smh
We have to remember these dudes are good at basketball and not necessarily good people
He’s not a bad person. He’s just young, dumb, and doesn’t know who he is so he morphs into who he thinks people he wants to impress want him to be 🤷🏾♂️
@@jonathanhoward8608 He's not young anymore, he's 23.
What are you talking about? He is immature. You're over in left field.
@@akakaze1364 that's college graduate age.
Keep that same energy for trash like Trump & other politicians 😮
That’s why I respect the European players that come to the league. They keep their head down and just focus on their job. Giannis entered the league at 19 or thereabout without his parents and the only controversy he had was that, he didn’t know you could dunk an Oreo into milk 😅😅
Luka. Giannis. Jokic. None of the Euro dudes get into trouble.
@@marcelmarshall4240 Because the big difference is this. When you’re playing basketball at 18 or 19 years old in the U.S., you're playing against boys. In Europe, at 18 or 19, you're playing against adult men. That's part of the big difference between both basketball cultures.
@@cityhawk Very good point, Sir. Maturity is engendered in them so much earlier, in Europe.
1 year ban, no playoffs, no pay. Take away anyone's money and they will learn real quick. Also 👏👏👏👏👏 to the first man with what he said.
A ban for what? Did he go on a crime spree?
If I ever see you holding a gun, I am making sure you get suspended also
@@HardCold-Alquan You can suspend him for a repeat code of conduct violation. Maybe not a year, but likely enough time and means for Ja to get the message.
@@HardCold-Alquan He beat up a 17 year old in his backyard and flashed a gun. His friends rolled up on the Pacers team bus pointing a laser gun at them, he’s threatened an employee with his security to shoot him, he now flashed guns multiple times.
Flashing a gun on social media gets you arrested in NYC. He’s doing it because he’s in Memphis with an open carry rule. Doesn’t mean it makes sense.
@@ptahhoteptmu264 NYC cannot make a law about flashing a gun, since guns are legal. Last I checked, Morant never went to court and is walking freely, so what crimes did he commit?
Cuttino's point about parenting is on point. So many parents don't hold their kids accountable for any of their actions. A friend of mine who is a teacher has told me about how parents come in and get hostile with her because their kids failed a test or didn't get a grade. Like it's her fault their kid didn't study and apply themselves. Everything is someone else's fault. I imagine that is the type of bad parenting that Morant grew up with.
Chad Chadwick: as a teacher,I have seen parents act the fool because a principal is holding their children accountable for their actions. The point Cat made about youth sports is why I stopped coaching. The Grizzlies have to put their foot and tell Ja Morant that it's either our way of the highway.
Dude it's bad when it comes to the parenting I love and is from the hood but was recently shocked when I was at the grocery store and seen a father with his two teenage boys and was completely comfortable because he was a gangster himself with his son's shaking up a gang handshake 😂 and I got a cousin and not only him but his two boys was all on house arrest together because he taught them his criminal ways so yeah it's bad
His mother is obviously toxic and his father might possibly be an alcoholic
There's no accountability!!! It's not his friends, family, etc. It's his fault. He's an adult!!!
💯💯💯
But what did he do wrong?
@@HardCold-Alquan stop trollin…
@@HardCold-Alquan He broke the rules set by his employer and sponsors and violated the boundaries of the $231 million contract he signed. That’s what he did wrong.
Boooooooom
Ja Morant is ignorant on purpose. This is self-inflicted and he knows exactly what he’s doing.
Too bad that’s common in certain districts of the city. It’s his fault. Gilbert Arenas got kicked out of the league for same thing. He made the league tons of money but he was the 1st high level player to go down this path.
Doesn't know thinks he could get away with it he not just immature but also my call,bipolar asking in a sublime way he could be gone forever if he don't get real help and complies he gonna Manzeil his way to play in China ever NBA again
Ignorant means you simply don't know. Stupidity means you know and you won't change your actions accordingly
Exactly
🎯
Correct
What of ignorant n stupid 😅
And to your point Tiger, Ja got caught being stupid in a "No Stupid" zone...
Ric Bucher is SPITTIN' on this one! Hard-headed people have to be SHOWN that the authority is serious. Otherwise, they will not adjust their behaviors.
Facts
@ShemShakur no one said he did tardo
@ShemShakur He violated the work code of the NBA. You must be 10 years old. Do your parents know that you have a RUclips account? When you become an adult, you will soon realize that if you have a real job, there are certain behaviors you cannot exhibit in public.
Ja Morant is one of the public faces of a multi-billion dollar franchise. He cannot ignore the codes of conduct that they have instituted for every player. This is true for employees of large companies, teachers at schools, medical staff at hospitals, and anywhere where you represent a face to the public.
All of those places have workplace codes of conduct--ESPECIALLY the NBA--and Ja Morant was warned with that slap on the wrist from earlier in the season. Apparently, that wasn't enough to jolt him into not potentially throwing away a multi-hundred million dollar career.
@@princellasmith7562 Workplace codes of conduct apply in the actual workplace. Ja wasn't at work. Next, you mention work code, please enlighten all of us and provide the specific work code that Ja violated. That may be difficult because Adam Silver still hasn't done it.
Suspended him for the whole season without pay since it didn’t register the first time around. You’re making millions of dollars and can’t stay outta trouble? You got a lady at home with a kid. What are you doing!?
I totally agree!👍🏾
Really it's not illegal, and I bet you're that same dude who fights against gun laws...smh
David Stern would have done that in a Heartbeat.
@@monochrome493 it's 100% illegal to brandish a weapon in your vehicle, or in public. Brush up on your laws dude, because you're just flat out wrong. A simple Google search would tell you that. People like you are part of the problem.
@@monochrome493 The NBA has set a standard of their players not flashing guns or having guns on their premises. The advertisers and sponsors have as well. This isn’t about the 2nd Amendment. These are private companies. They can do whatever they want.
Being young, you’ll make mistakes. Refusing to learn or change is no longer a mistake, it’s desired behavior. Some people refuse to learn, and risk losing it all.
Facts
He's not a kid but a man. A young man but still a man. As a man he will feel consequences for his actions, some positive and some will be negative. He's already missed out on almost $39 million for not making the All-NBA teams. That's just a start. These companies can and will pull their endorsement contracts or not renew them if he becomes too much of a headache PR wise. Chris Broussard on his show talked about another negative consequence. Ja being tested by actual gangsters to see how tough he really is definitely is a possibility if he continues down this path. This is why you don't play with fire because it might just burn you or worse.
That was spot on
@@MrJpaynebb that’s why I never said kid I said young. I did dumb stuff in my 20’s, but I was smart enough (maybe blessed enough) to not have made any ice altering mistakes. He continues to play the tough guy roll somebody is going to pull his card. The man could literally become one of the faces of the nba. I tell my 8 year old your decisions equal your consequences, good or bad.
Very true, he'll learn one way or another just like most people have but hopefully sooner than later but with him making all that money, it might be very challenging on him to listening to ANYBODY. I'm pulling for him to get right. Consequences can be something he can't pay for. A entitled superstar hanging with the wrong people can be insane
Previous Ja Morant incidents -- beat up a 17 year old and pulled a gun on him; showed up at the mall to intimidate; he and his friends pointed red dots (from guns) on Pacers team as they were headed to the team bus. It is beyond him twirling guns on IG live, he has used his guns in other settings that could have injured someone seriously.
Ja Morant values are low. The guy is a bully.
I’m really starting to like Joy a lot. She always keeps it real 💯
She's also very Racist against white people
yes. Joy hit the nail on the head. Love that she didn't hold back. STOP CODDLING GROWN MEN. Jesus God...
Nah she did a complete 360 on this. Not keeping it real at all.
Charles Barkley said it best in the 90's athletes aren't role models parents are smh
He also said what he’s doing is stupid so that’s that
@@dustinray9011 What's your point
Should kids be banned from watching espn? They’re gonna find out their favorite player can’t stop flashing guns
Eff Charles 🦝 Barkley
Why is his Mom calling him about her situations-seems likes the family needs some counseling.
It’s that “I’m entitled” mentality. Sad
It says a lot she does not call Tee Morant
@@BabySpit But what kind of involvements does this family get in to that they have to call in different family members to come out to put in work. My mother is 75, and not once has she ever had to call me or my dad to "take care" of a situation. This ain't the mob.
The problem isn’t that he has a gun, the problem is that he works for the NBA and his sponsors who have told him he can’t do this YET he continues to just keep doing it
He was also brandishing it in his vehicle, which is illegal in most states. Blows my mind so many people don't understand this
@@TDR-0484 so then where was he? Tennessee isn’t one of those states where that’s illegal.
@@paulmayer8654 He works for the NBA, not the state of Tennessee, hence why he isn't being charged.
@@paulmayer8654 why does that matter? The NBA disapproves. That's all that matters buddy. Hope you're just young and not actually that stupid
@@F110mech to my knowledge he didn’t violate the NBA policy on guns though either.
You guys did an amazing segment regarding Ja. It’s not a race issue, it’s about what is right and wrong. An employer dictates what you can do, like it or not. I just wish Ja would reach out to a Lebron and let him be a mentor. I may not be a fan of Lebron’s politics, but he is a good dude all around. And I can’t help but think Lebron would be willing to be a big brother, lebron seems like an amazing person.
This country is built on slavery and the decedents of slaves are still suffering..so everything has to do with race because at the end of the day it’s still racist politicians in congress who don’t ever want guns laws that need to be in place because the gun has always been their tool of control over those they have conquered..
What about his politics lol
He uses his platform to protect china, for financial gain. He is such a great guy though!
@@whoimia5208 please shut up
You give someone another chance, they will find another way around it to keep doing what they’re doing.
Thank you Joy Taylor, you are very aware of sensitive issues and very well spoken about them
Thanks for bringing Mr. Mobley on the show. Respect
Out of all the commentary made today on the various channels, shows, podcasts, etc THIS is the best! Cutino hit the ball out of the park.
Ja is crazy he doesn't know how to be a roll model to his lil girl
Ken Marshall, Athlete's shouldn't be role models, especially in today's society
@Stanley Robinson true to his kid yes he oh that to her
Roll model 😂
@@stanleyrobinson8712 who should be a role model?
@@stanleyrobinson8712 bruh as a parent that's essentially you're whole job
It's baffling that organization still hasn't released him yet. I guess winning is more important than his actions. Plenty of other players willing to step up and even get that championship
I still don't get why a multi millionaire basketball player wanna be a gangster😂 bro I'd bag my money, retire, drink and smoke like I'm a king in my house, eat nachos and watch TV 😂
Yeah I know that’s pretty stupid. Unless his gangster ways got him rich but it’s obviously not the case 😂
No home training. His dad is his number one fan instead of a protector and mentor.
It's a suburban complex who hanged out with some kids that has hood connection and tries to act like one of them. I've met plenty of these kinds of people my whole life. Actually have one of my cousin's other side cousin act like he hood but grew up in the suburbans. I find it funny that dude be acting hard around me because I've dresses down since growing up, when I actually hanged out with the type of people he tries to imitate. I actually hanged out with the kids of some gang founders. I never tried to be like them and kept to who I am and they respected that. I was never a gang member but I had many of people I hang out with were. Then there's people like Ja. Who clearly never group around that environment, tries to prove themselves and get used because they are trying to act like something they're not.
I never saw where Ja said he wanted to be a gang member. Did he do any drive-bys like Hernandez? Did he do crime?
@@HardCold-Alquan not literally
Why y’all blaming his friends? He is the one with the gun in every video. I don’t see any of his friends with a gun.
Wow what a good point by acho. The fact intent and context is EVERYTHING
Joy always hits the nail on the head 🎯🎯🎯
Back in the day, if a kid did something wrong in the streets, the neighbor had permission to "discipline" that child. Then when Moms got home they'd get the belt.
Today, if you just tell a child he or she is wrong, they wanna fight you because you hurt their feelings
Facts. Bad parenting is rampant and destroying society.
The craziest part about this whole thing is the mom stories and why the high school isn’t calling the police on an adult breaking into the school to assault a teenage girl student….
💯 Joy speaks facts! Dude has no one to blame but himself. Fake hustling backwards.
The only thing I disagree with Joy on is that most people in the country are ok with gun violence. We have done polls and even 51% of Republicans want some form of gun control. But the reason nothing changes is because we live in a fake democracy and the rich lobbyists who donate to politicians are the ones who get to decide the laws. Not us the people who a large majority of us wants some form of gun control.
Ja needs to cut people off and grow up. Hes about to throw away his NBA career if he doesnt get his act together. Like Maya Angelou says if someone shows you who they are believe them.
Does that only apply to bad things or does that mean the good things too? Cause everybody runs that quote out there all the time these days?
Maybe it’s not his friends only but himself he is the problem. Ja is an adult it’s his own doing
I love what Cat AND Joy both said. Nobody talks about the fact that Ja is a father himself AND he knows the consequences of the decisions that he is making but he is still making them. We need to stop using the term "mental health" for everything. Sometimes you just do bad or stupid stuff and that's what Ja continues to do
GREAT TALKING POINTS FROM THE ENTIRE PANEL .. 👍🏾💯
Right Joy right, let him be he is Grown
Mobley said everything I had in mind In addition, the sincerity of his speech reflects a real experience and the choices that have led to such a long career.
Ja's mother also not a good example for him. She is literally setting up fights for Ja and he would bring his crew to fight without even analyzing the situation. Ja may have a good IQ for basketball, but his IQ for life is really subpar. I hope he can turn his life around as quickly as possible. Otherwise, this movie might have a terrible ending.
That bald spray fade is cracking me up 🤣
As a Tennessee native I can say it's pretty hard to stay out of trouble in Memphis. Ja just gonna have to learn its a lot funner pretending to be hard with money then without. He sure ain't gonna make that working no streets around here. Sad part is a lot of the people in the projects could stay in their lane for that kind of money. He just wanting to throw it away.
BIG FACTS !! This generation you punished them for two seconds, and then you can let them back out. They will never learn so if I was the NBA I would suspend Ja for the whole season to send a HUGE MESSAGE!!!
Fantastic segment to get multiple different point of views on this situation. Ja is playing a dangerous game, and I hope he learns something from whatever the repercussion are.
David Stern would off made an example out of him the 1st time around that he would of really thought about doing it again.
He's digging his own grave. He wants to be a gangster and doesn't think the law applies to him.
Holding a gun makes you a gangsta?
@@HardCold-Alquan it's the mentality my opinion. You don't have to agree, and don't care if you do or don't.
Do all 80 million gun owners also think their gangsta? Or just because Ja is black. And which law does Ja think doesnt apply? Owning a gun is a crime? Do you actually know the law?
@@anthonyslazas6413 You cared enough to respond.
@@akadroopy1 don't play the race card, the actions with the gun put him in the "gangsta" category.. Ja work for the NBA! He broke their rules, regardless of color.
He gotta catch a year for this. Silver needs to set the tone ASAP. Give dudes like Mikey Williams a heads up like HEY!!! this where you will be, playing with guns on camera
Mikey won’t even get drafted. The trouble he is in BEFORE the league….is too much. He is cooked. No one is drafting him. He is not Lebron-level where they would deal with that. He is borderline, at best. Not worth it.
Just release Ja and find someone else
Ric nailed it 👏 nba and grizzlies need to get him out asap! Smh 🤦♂️
Stop it. Make it utterly painful for him. Suspend him for a year with no pay.
I may not agree with everything these people say like their politics or their sports opinions but I think they said a lot of great things in this episode and they were keeping it real hope ja can learn this time
I think the most interesting part about this whole Ja saga including all the incidents is…it’s not like this was his rookie year. He will be entering his 5th season in the league next year. He was the golden boy of the NBA…who didn’t enjoy watching play and that literally flipped like night and day. Obviously his dad has gotten away from parenting him. And his mom calling him like he’s the enforcer when he has everything to lose. That entire family needs a wake up call and not just Ja.
One of the more intelligent conversations I've observed in a while. Make Ja the example that no one is impervious to true consequences before it's too late.
"You say you a gangsta but you never pop nothin'. You say you a wanksta and you need to stop frontin" - 50 Cent
When you look at JA doing the griddy you know the problem, he’s confused about what he is!
Like he should be playing football?
Really glad shady wasn’t part of this serious panel and there’s actual conversation
100% Although honestly, I'm kinda curious what kinda nonsense he would have thrown out there.
@@UNIDiver We found out today when they talked about it and it was a bad as i thought it would be
@@joshchavez8614 Ha, I clicked on that clip so fast just to see. Bucher's exasperation is always so evident, when Shady is talking. Joy's take was equally as bad today too.
His mother called him to two of these incidents… His dad wore that sweater saying “Be you… they’ll adjust” so that tells me all I need to know. And he lost 40 million dollars already.
(FACTS OVER FEELINGS) The Joy Taylor Show 🤔
It starts with your father ! So true !
Acho thinks he Michael Erick Dyson and the MF just be saying a lot of nothing.
Love Joy but for her to say most people are “ok” with gun violence. That’s why we continue to have it, is a pretty ignorant statement. Most people are not committing gun violence and most people are against gun violence, including legal gun carrying citizens.
Some of us just want to carry so our families won’t be the next victim of gun violence. Some of us want to protect with our guns.
Crazy how Dillion Brooks got dumped so quickly for playing bad & his antics but Ja has had numerous incidents and will most likely stay in the NBA
Thank you Joy & Mobley simple and plain !
Thank you Joy 🙏🏿
I kept posting on Twitter:
“Tee Morant is the worst dad and his mom probably is terrible too.”
I mean… Look at their boy and look how they respond. They’re terrible parents.
Period.
Bomani's analysis on the situation is the best I've listened to so far cause it makes the most sense!
Ja's FIRST responsibility is to himself and he's not meeting it. For a guy that has so much and he's acting thud like and trying to be cool when in fact he's acting the complete opposite. I pray Ja can get it together and one day preach on his experience and help anyone else struggling. Praying for Ja.
Don’t most people out there life into sports so they DONT have to be a gangster?
They are failing to see that his behavior is Supported by his parents. Case in point.... his mom called HIM to start some stuff at the shoe store
Tee Morant is more worried on being his homeboy than his Dad.
Ja wanna be bout that life so let him go be bout that life. If that's the image he wants to portray, as us southerners would say, bless his heart.
Joy spitting 🔥🔥
Acho thought he said something deep at the end 😭😭😭
Even if Ja doesn't want to be role model, the position he is in as doest necessarily give him a choice. It becomes heightened when u are a superstar in ur franchise. He needs to do better, im not sure if he can or even wants to.
Not a fan of this iteration of the show but glad they got Cat on here to give his perspective. He was spot on. Ja’s going to need to grow up or he’s going to learn some hard lessons in life
Wow, what a conversation. Sports and life indeed - much to reflect on
man i remember playing houston rockets on nba live with mobley and steve francis like wooooooo mayn
Cuttino keepin it so real GD what an OG what great advice and perspective
There is no excuse. We all were young once but come on man twice. No excuse.
Joy is the truth 👊🏿💯
She's an idiot.
Great discussion, somewhat longer form so able to go in deeper
That’s why you need vets on every team.
Joy is preaching Facts!!!!!
Mobley spray bothering me 😂
Theres a distinct difference about this era and generation than the others and that is the fact that the ones who are born and blessed with more, seek more attention, and act like they can never lose it.....
Alot of people would love to be in that position its a blessing and you want to ruin it over not thinking smh
there is nothing wrong with guns. if he had a gun holstered on his waist and he didnt wave it around like the worlds biggest idiot no one would have a problem. you are rich enough to go get john wick gun training. go get it and post videos if you want to be a killer. show that you are a responsible gun owner and no one would have a problem with it. waving a gun around on IG in clubs etc is where you get in trouble. you can be a cool and badass gun owner without looking like a fool
Right?? Who waves a gun around for fun?? What happens if it goes out gf by accident?? Now ya career is over and facing jail time smh.
So who actually watched the video bc if you did u would see his fried tried to get camera off him when he noticed Ja stop blaming them Ja his own man wtf
That is why you don't surround yourself with fools
Whne was the video recorded?
Awesome takes!
He needs to lose everything to learn
He needs to hit rock bottom to actually learn anything
His chances are up. The NBA needs to make an example of him now or this will get worse.
He is who is right now, until something hits him real hard but it's going to keep doing it.
I think he's a alcoholic
Social Media is the new most important media
Respect he need to show respect to everyone
I like Joy's perspective on this. I think this is the first time I was on her side. I'm a Packer fan so that might have something to do with it lol.
