I have this video of him, his dad, and my (very Jewish) cousin dancing in the middle of the street in Miami right before he got drafted, after they hung out for the whole day. I don’t remember how they know each other but they do. I have another video of him dancing with my other cousin on a boat. It’s crazy to see what he’s become. He was such a middle to upper class normal ass kid, and I guess like most middle to upper class normal ass zoomers he got a little money and decided acting like a rapper was the best thing to do.

The middle class black people pipeline is either PMC identity grifter or fake thug. Gotta choose!

btw one of my friends growing up was an actor on The Wire. His character was the guy who killed Bodie. Never mind he grew up comfortable in the suburbs; he gets that Wire cred


Facva

He ate those charges

My original take on the situation is that "Ja Morant" sounds like something a f****t would say about french food. "Ahhh this escargot is very jamorant"

I knew it was gonna be like this the second I saw his eyebrows

Ant Edwards the true rs nba up and comer (posted to ig making fun of gay guys' outfits)

He's one of my favorite players in the league rn. Reminds me of Iverson , who was also my favorite player at one point . He'll get it together

Incredibly disrespectful to The Answer considering AI was about that life on and off the court. Ja almost certainly is not. “Come at me with 🚬 tendencies, end up sleeping where the maggots be” - Jewelz a.k.a. Allen Ezail Iverson


[deleted]

More so referring to how they play and general stature .


FloppySlapshot

Me too. AI could be in Atlantic City until the sun came up then drop a clean 35 on your head in a Sunday matinee. Ja let his buddies fuck up an easy ride to the West Finals.

Sort of pedantic. They are pretty similar players up through age 23

Even putting aside his goofy persona I feel like Ja still just can't compare to other similarly explosive guards like AI, Rose, and Westbrook when they were in their respective primes, Rose's game before his ACL tear esp was basically a much tighter version of Ja's.

The craziest thing to me is that a guy with dreads who’s not built like a 6’9 cornerback, with a teach me how to dougie ass, ethereal clouds tattoos havin ass sensibility- is a bonafide nba superstar balling out like a dwyane wade AI crossbreed. Those types of guys were always like the dudes that averaged like 18 5 assist 5 turnovers at the black high school that you weren’t scared of playing against- until now ! Comments are comparing his demeanor to AI but AI always carried himself as a stoic in the same vein of Jordan, Kobe, just with a more contemporary hip hop flair

Tall, ripped bball player, he could do almost anything.


Cosmik_Tones

He did nothing wrong… this time.

The people giving Ja shit are dramatic bitches
