Ja Morant

[vthobby]

I almost saw a guy buy a Ja today in a card shop. When the owner dusted it off and showed it to the guy, he passed. Almost had a sale Ja!

And how many weeks after the fact? This guy is even stupider than I thought!

Will the Grizzlies be able to void the contract extension that Ja signed, if all these debacles are still going on?

Doubt it and highly doubt they would even consider that as long as nothing more comes up. Too much talent there and this hot topic won't last long IF he stays quite. Still a big IF but if this is the last negative we were from Ja all will be forgotten and the next big story will be all the rage.

Everyone knows that's 100% bull$hit.
What adult has a toy gun? And if they do, does it actually look like a gun or is it a Nerf?

Maybe it says REPLICA down the side instead of Desert Eagle .50

These days toy guns have to have a bright red snouts so that law enforcement doesn't shoot a child/youth playing with one on the street.

I remember seeing stories with multiple cop cars encircling x kids playing with replicas before the toy manufacturers changed the guns.

Gun not associated with any specific player, game, or event.

Yeah and the toy guns look so much like the real ones now that the kids will paint the tip black to match the gun so they can act like it's real.

I also recall low level criminals using the replicas for hold ups of 7-11's for 100 or less float in the cash register.

Nobody but the family of the loser criminal cared if he ate lead because the first cops on the scene thought he was packing a real gun but with children and youth dying because police thought they were packing the law changed for these guns.

You guys are all crazy. Obviously it’s a toy if he’s playing with it and not firing it.

was it Bill Simmons that was saying how the best talent is coming from overseas because the foreign players are more disciplined and grateful for the opportunity

Almost like the sport of Baseball. Shocking! Imagine if people played football overseas. Overseas could have the best baseball, basketball, soccer, hockey and football players.

Nope. That was Colin Cowherd. And he’s not wrong.

Globalization of the game

Thank the Dream Team for that!

Before that you had a few guys that just never played in the league during their prime if at all. See Oscar Schmidt and Arvydas Sabonis.

Wrong about the best talent or about being more disciplined and grateful for the opportunity?

The top 3 in MVP voting this year were Embiid, Jokic, and Giannis.
And the last FIVE MVP's were foreign.
Then you also gotta through in Luka who is likely to be a future MVP.

The US is not properly developing talent. The AAU system is a plague.

Thank God the Finals are over so we can get to the biggest NBA story.
