Or get dealt wit foo!

Ja’s messing around in two different spaces, that take their brand and lifestyle very seriously. One: corporate/Fortune 500 America (NBA, Nike, Powerade). Two: gangs. Both of those will not put up with his crap and neither like the way he’s acting (on their behalf). How stupid do you have to be? Does he have actual mental challenges?

[oldgoldy97]

Think of the storyline when he turns face!

Serious question, Fortune 500 sends John Wick and "Hall" Terry Kinney to hood, who wins?

The backdrop is corporate is sick of the hood ruining their cash cows and the only option is all out war, fueled by Powerade of course.

Within a week Ja ignored him and was seen with a gun in a night club.

Gangsta's gotta gangsta.

More like posers gotta pose.

I mentioned this before in the Baseball Tatis Thread, when he fell apart in similar fashion ( different circumstances- same end result. )

It can be easily explained by the “Gary Hart Syndrome”. Now some of you younger whipper-snappers ( I’m 57 ) may not know who Gary Hart even is, but if you Google his self destruction in Politics that led to his own psychological condition named for him, (Gary Hart Syndrome ~ not a compliment! ) ~ I think you’ll see it nicely make sense of Ja and Tatis’ actions ….

Usually I wouldn't care about an NBA players private life, but I have some outstanding Ja redemptions at Panini, so I went ahead and did a little digging. Apparently he has a history of antics off the court and many incidents haven't seen nationwide media attention for one reason or another. It'll be interesting to see how the NBA handles this as I'm sure they have been protective of one of the faces of the NBA thus far.

If the NBA goes soft on Ja now…. they’ll be gettin’ more lunatics just like him. They need to drop the discipline hammer hard, to set an example of what happens to you if ……

[cms11]

He did give us a great nickname: Ja Wick.

I agree, any person in a position where kids look up to you shouldn't be waving a weapon around.

On a side note, he will have more time to sign his cards.

Suburbanites thinking Ja's getting dp'd cuz of a Bricc Boy excerpt.


Nah. That's not how things work, gentlemen. Not when Tekashi69 and Chris Brown are suwoop'ing in the free world.


Ja ain't set tripping in the trenches. He's doing it in a Bentayga posted outside a Whole Foods.


Aquaman has no culpability nor responsibility even as a team leader in this scenario. He can voice his displeasure and attempt to mentor him til the sun don't shine, but he's not a babysitter. Ja's a whole grown ass man. If he wants to play Jody in Baby Boy, that's his prerogative.


All that said; he's a tad bit off on his throw up form. Needs to get in the lab with a real one like DDR this offseason.

[Kingofkings1281]

Adam Silver seems pretty damn upset about this. I would think Ja is looking at 25 games to half a season.

[KhalDrogo]

This idiot hasn’t learned a damn thing. Dead or in jail in 5 years.

Word of the Day:

Bentayga


“The Bentley Bentayga is a luxury SUV produced by British marque Bentley Motors. Introduced in late 2015, it is the brand's first sport utility vehicle, and is considered one of the most luxurious models in that segment”

[imbluestreak23]

The takes from reputable folk today were cringe. "He didn't break the law." "History of going after black men with guns."

Bruh, weed is basically legal, but if you're employer says don't do it or else, don't question the "else" part when you ignore the rules.

The attempt to continue justifying behavior that is equivalent to conduct detrimental to the league where the conduct shines the league in a negative light is just crazy. I mean, did these naysayers not have parents that taught them the concept of rules? Rhetorical question. We know that's a societal problem.

Just dumb. If there is a rule that says don't wear shorts or you'll be fired, wear slacks, and you wear shorts, you're a dumbass and deserve to be fired being a non rule following idiot.

Term of the Day

set tripping in the trenches


Set
“Hanging out with a group of friends getting high and drunk”

Tripping
“acting crazy / under the influence of drugs”

Trenches
“A crime ridden area or hood known for its crimes and violence.”

So…. Ja would not be found typically hanging out high with a group of high friends in a dangerous, high crime area

B-Rad put in more work than Ja will in 5 lifetimes.




Morant's performing high level cosplay in the burbs. His danger levels are lower than the Fakers in game 2.

set tripping in the trenches is poker lingo for cleaning up the table with trips FWIW

There's something funny about this whole thing considering the NBA has no problem blasting songs glorifying "opps" and "shooters" during warmups, and even during games. Why is that entire "culture" never called in to question? I say this as someone who grew up listening to Nas, DMX, Guru, Jedi Mind, Big L, Wu-Tang, etc. I know there's more to it than just the lyrics, but my point still stands. The most popular and heavily pushed music genre glorifies gang violence, greed, drug use, and misogyny and it's targeted directly at Ja's demographic. Big shock, Ja, who assumedly has listened to that music his whole life, wants to larp as a gangster. Not saying he's blameless in this situation at all but I guarantee there's a ton of NBA players who do the same kind of things they just aren't goofy enough to put it on IG. I guess I just wish there was more nuance when it comes to this discussion, there's never any "why's he acting like that and why is it that that behavior has been glorified to a large extent" instead it's just "he's an idiot for acting like that and he should be severely punished" like he's a dog who s*** in the house or something. I guess expecting anything resembling nuance in this fake, reactionary, and hyper-negative social media hellscape was my first mistake.

Also lol at people saying "Adam Silver seems really upset about this" like that vampiric mf has his own opinions, a soul, or any type of concern for the players besides how much money can be squeezed out of them before their knees give out. His only "concern" regarding this situation is due to the fact that it will result in him having to pretend to be human in front of the cameras to give a canned statement before slinking back to his gold-plated mausoleum.

Word of the Day: (very rare - 2nd day in a row that ‘Word of the Day’ was found in the same Thread)

Vampiric


“Adjective
vampiric (comparative more vampiric, superlative most vampiric)

Having the traits of a vampire.”

[Noles939913]

I remember back in the day when Master P was trying to make it in the NBA and Allen Iverson actually made a rap album that was ultimately shelved due to its homophobic and violent content a comedian who’s name I can’t remember made a keen observation. “Why does every ballplayer want to be a rapper and every rapper wants to be a ballplayer? And both are infatuated with maintaining a super gangster image like MC Gusto”.
