WEBVTT - Ja Morant Facing “Significant Suspension” For Gun Video

0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 1>So does Job Morant like have a gun on him,

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.560
<v Speaker 1>like every time he walks out of the door, because

0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:17.360
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of how it feels, isn't it. Like it's

0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:21.320
<v Speaker 1>a It's like that that Snoop Dogg song where he's

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:24.200
<v Speaker 1>like put oil of a lay on my skin because

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>my skin gets pale, and like I put my doggy

0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>underwear on and then I put my jawgun on inside

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 1>of my sick Like, where what is happening with John Morant?

0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Like the reason I asked this is because every time

0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:39.320
<v Speaker 1>you hear about Jahn Morant, every time he's doing something

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>outside of a basketball court, there's a gun every time.

0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>The latest is Saturday on Instagram, I don't know, cute

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Little Mother's Day, eve a stroll around the block listening

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:53.199
<v Speaker 1>to NBA Young Boy and one of Jo's friends was

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I on ig Live with like one hundred and thirty

0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 1>five people on it.

0:00:56.400 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Why who knows? Dumb? And so he's like doing something

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:01.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 1>He pans over to jaw and jaw just just I

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:08.679
<v Speaker 1>don't know, like does something twisty with the gun. The

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>friend's like, oh shit, uh fuck jaw ig Live gun

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Bad drops the phone and somebody that was watching one

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 1>of those one hundred and thirty five people screenshot. In

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:23.959
<v Speaker 1>that one half of a second, literally a half of

0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:25.679
<v Speaker 1>a second, they showed Jaw with the gun in his

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.119
<v Speaker 1>hand near his head doing whatever he was doing. And

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 1>now you're dead. You're done. It's a wrap for you.

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>He was on IG Live with the gun for less

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 1>than a half a second. Screenshots internets spread like wildfire,

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:43.320
<v Speaker 1>and now we got it on every single ESPN, Fox Sports,

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 1>TMZ everywhere.

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 2>So where are we at now?

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 1>According to woj, Jaw's expected to face a lengthy suspension,

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 1>not because if there's been some legal breach like it

0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.240
<v Speaker 1>was in Shotgun Willie's, but because it was kind duck

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>detrimental to the league, meaning, hey, Joe, you're fucking.

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 2>With our money.

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>And I think one of the most astounding things about

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 1>this offseason that we're still talking about Jaw around guns.

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Like remember he admitted to making some terrible mistake. Remember

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>he said he went to counseling for two weeks to

0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>get better and like learn better coping methods, and he

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.640
<v Speaker 1>promised us he would never be in this situation again.

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 1>And Adam Silver believed him like a schmunck and gave

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:33.119
<v Speaker 1>him this soft penalty two game suspension plus the six

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>he had imposed on himself with that time in therapy,

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>and Jaw said this in his interview with Jalen Rose.

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:46.080
<v Speaker 3>Been there, you are holding a gun, and we both

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 3>know how dangerous that can be. Who's gun were you holding? Well,

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 3>the gun wasn't my. It's not who I am. I

0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 3>don't condone and any type of violence, but I take,

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, full of responsibility. You know from my actions,

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:09.360
<v Speaker 3>made a bad mistake, and I can see the image

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.080
<v Speaker 3>you know that I painted, you know, over myself, you know,

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 3>with my recent mistakes. But you know, in the future,

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna show everybody who John really is. You know

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 3>what I'm about, and you know, change this narrative.

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:28.280
<v Speaker 1>And narrator says he did not change the narrative at all.

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I know how dangerous that can be. I don't condone violence.

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>That that gun wasn't mine, like and that was a lie.

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Either Jaw has a gun on him at all times

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 1>and plays with it like it's a toy, or he

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.080
<v Speaker 1>has friends that just allow him to play with their guns,

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>whether they're loaded or not loaded, and play with their

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>guns like toys. Either way, uh, dumb, very very dumb,

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 1>extremely dumb. Can we be honest about this for a second.

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.960
<v Speaker 1>The dumb thing about this is that there's a lot

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 1>of smoke already around Jaw. At this very moment, at

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>this very moment that we sit, he is being sued

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.560
<v Speaker 1>by someone, a kid, a miner, that he beat up

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 1>because the kid threw a basketball at him. That's happening

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 1>right now, right now. The NBA is investigating Jaw, and

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 1>they have been investigating Jaw for over a year for

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:27.640
<v Speaker 1>multiple incidents surrounding a gun. Multiple incidents surrounding a gun.

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.240
<v Speaker 1>His lawyers know this, his advisors know this.

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Jahn Morant knows this.

0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, he got a light suspension just two months ago

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.960
<v Speaker 1>the NBA, the All NBA list came out, I don't

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 1>know what was it. Three days ago, Jahn Morant was

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 1>left off the list because of this incident with a

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.360
<v Speaker 1>gun at Shotgun Willie's and he ends up losing out

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:47.600
<v Speaker 1>on forty million dollars.

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:53.080
<v Speaker 2>And okay, so there's heat on you, Jaw. Three days later,

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:53.680
<v Speaker 2>what do you do.

0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.720
<v Speaker 1>You're hanging out flashing guns with dudes who call themselves

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.719
<v Speaker 1>double tap two double tip aka two shots to the

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 1>head double tap the guy's name on Instagram who filmed

0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 1>that D tap two double tap two. If you can't

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:11.359
<v Speaker 1>tell that the D is for tap double, it's because

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.280
<v Speaker 1>he also put the two after it as well, D

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:13.920
<v Speaker 1>tap two.

0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 2>So now you know.

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 1>So you got Jaw with his friends who are all

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 1>cause playing gangbangers crips, I think.

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 2>And this is like the.

0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Kind of dude who's used your name on call of

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 1>duty is like gangster for life forever and like uses

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>skull and crossbones emoji like okay, dude, yeah we get it.

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:34.359
<v Speaker 2>You're like you kill people. Oh, very funny ha.

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>And in doing all of this, he makes Adam Silver

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.839
<v Speaker 1>look like an idiot. You got the commissioner who gave

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 1>you a light suspension took you aside and said, okay, Jaw,

0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:47.600
<v Speaker 1>like I'm gonna give you a slap on the wrist

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 1>because we want to see you in the playoffs, but like,

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:51.480
<v Speaker 1>you have to promise me you're not gonna do any

0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.719
<v Speaker 1>of this dumb shit again. He's like, Okay, I won't

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 1>do any of this dumb shit again. And he does

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 1>all the same dumb shit all the way again, and

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 1>you know it's bad because you real deal six O

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Crips going on TV and being like, yes, we don't

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:06.360
<v Speaker 1>claim him.

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.000
<v Speaker 2>He's not a gangbanger. He doesn't do any of this.

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 2>He's an idiot.

0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.159
<v Speaker 1>When you got six O Crips being like, yeah, uh,

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 1>this guy's dumb. We're we're gangbangers and we think he's

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:21.120
<v Speaker 1>also dumb, like you're dumb. And now instead of us

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 1>being like, okay, is this the year that Jaw finally

0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 1>wins an MVP? Is this the year the Memphis breaks

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 1>over the breakthrough, we have to say, oh, is this

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 1>the year the drum rant misses an entire fucking year

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 1>of basketball because he's so dumb that he can't stop

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.320
<v Speaker 1>playing with guns on ig Live like a fifteen year

0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 1>old girl on Snapchat.

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.359
<v Speaker 2>That's that's where we're at in the conversation with Jaw.

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 1>He's probably gonna lose a half a season at least,

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.240
<v Speaker 1>that's where we're at with Jaw. He is going to

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:48.839
<v Speaker 1>miss a half a season in the prime of his

0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:51.920
<v Speaker 1>career just because he can't stop cosplaying a six to

0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.360
<v Speaker 1>oh crip For whatever reason, he thinks that makes him

0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:57.520
<v Speaker 1>cool and tough and like closer to the NBA. Young boy,

0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 1>So so very dumb, this is to be the biggest

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 1>story not only of the offseason but this year's regular

0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.719
<v Speaker 1>season two and there's only one person to blame, and

0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.280
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't have an IG account named d tap two.

0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Alert Alert.

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:15.240
<v Speaker 1>The Phoenix Suns have fired former Coach of the Year

0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Monty Williams less than a year after inking him to

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 1>a lucrative extension. Matt Ishbia has literally wrote written Monty

0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Williams a twenty million dollar check for him to go

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Bye bye, Dame Wave, see you later. So some people

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:36.040
<v Speaker 1>are shocked, but I guess when you lose two closeout

0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:40.600
<v Speaker 1>games by thirty in consecutive years, the rioting's probably on

0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 1>the wall.

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.240
<v Speaker 2>So my thoughts on this are as falls.

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I think part of the reason that Monty Williams got

0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 1>fired is the same reason that he won Coach of

0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.720
<v Speaker 1>the Year, which is he can take a team from

0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 1>eighteen wins to the finals.

0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 2>Can he take him to win a championship? The answer

0:07:58.320 --> 0:07:59.560
<v Speaker 2>very clearly is no.

0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.280
<v Speaker 1>He's reached a point where his ceiling was met when

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 1>the rosters were good enough to win a championship. We

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.679
<v Speaker 1>don't know what that ceiling is for Wes Unsell Junior,

0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 1>because he'll never have a roster that good. But we

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.720
<v Speaker 1>now know that Monty Williams is not good enough as

0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 1>a coach to reach a championship. We have seen Monty

0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Williams's problems in terms of in game adjustments. We see

0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 1>that he shortens his rotations in the playoffs to the

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 1>point where it is detrimental to the team. And now

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:26.520
<v Speaker 1>it is coming out that he is rubbing players the

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.600
<v Speaker 1>wrong way. And if you believe that Aighton is a

0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 1>super talent and you think he can become a cornerstone

0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:35.120
<v Speaker 1>of your team moving forward, and Ayton is at a

0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 1>crossroads and an in pass with Monty Williams, one of

0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.720
<v Speaker 1>those two guys has to go. One guy is making

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 1>max money for the next five years and one guy

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 1>is not. So the guy that's not making max money

0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.319
<v Speaker 1>and your new owner Ishbia, you gots to go.

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Uh second.

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.520
<v Speaker 1>And then you add in matt Ishbiah, who's like, I

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.600
<v Speaker 1>guess they said it on Twitter, and I think this

0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:00.160
<v Speaker 1>is right. I think matt Isshbia probably has main Carer

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:04.200
<v Speaker 1>syndrome where he believes he is the protagonist in every

0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>part of the life that he's living.

0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 2>He is the center of the universe. That's like I

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 2>don't know.

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.600
<v Speaker 1>It's like shocking that a billionaire would be like an egomaniac,

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 1>but it is. It's possible, So Joe Sie vibes I'm

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:20.480
<v Speaker 1>getting from matt Ishbia. Wants to make splashy trades, wants

0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 1>to get in to the kind of like Rob Plink

0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:24.680
<v Speaker 1>a little bit.

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Like, wants to own the narrative.

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Wants to make a splash, not afraid to spend money

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 1>because he wants the narrative to be on him. He

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:37.319
<v Speaker 1>wants Now he's running the ship. Apparently he has taken

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.640
<v Speaker 1>control over all basketball operations, which, like, that's never been

0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.840
<v Speaker 1>bad before when an owner has like taken over and

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.520
<v Speaker 1>not delegated to people who are smarter or more invested

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:48.640
<v Speaker 1>in basketball than him.

0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 2>Like, but whatever, it's his team. He owns it now.

0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 1>So there's a lot of chatter about where Moni is

0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna go next, and we'll talk about that in a second.

0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:58.160
<v Speaker 1>But what I think is really interesting is who matt

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Ishbia is going to hire next. The main character syndrome, well,

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Mattieshpia from Detroit. There are a couple of names that

0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 1>are circulating I think would be awful.

0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:09.400
<v Speaker 2>One is tom Izzo.

0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Do you think tom Izzo and DeAndre Aiden are gonna

0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:17.080
<v Speaker 1>get along, like if Monnie Williams didn't get along with

0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.840
<v Speaker 1>DeAndre Aiden. I promise you a college coach who has

0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:25.599
<v Speaker 1>been leading in his own like control freak kind of

0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.839
<v Speaker 1>way is not gonna vibe with DeAndre Ayden. And then

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 1>the second is maybe even worse. Isaiah Thomas, Isaiah Thomas,

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.160
<v Speaker 1>the guy who ran the Knicks into the ground as

0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:44.960
<v Speaker 1>a GM and head coach combo. This could get ugly fast.

0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 1>This could get real ugly, real fast. In terms of MANI,

0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I think that MANI should go to a place that

0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.280
<v Speaker 1>is like what Phoenix was when he took over, and

0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:58.280
<v Speaker 1>an eighteen win team like the Detroit Pistons, a team

0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:00.719
<v Speaker 1>that has a bunch of young talent that needs to

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 1>get a culture set. As for the son's next coach,

0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:08.959
<v Speaker 1>like I said, they're interviewing Nick Nurse, They're interviewing Mike Budenholzer.

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.280
<v Speaker 2>They are a rumored to also be interested in Tyleru.

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I like all those names personally much more than I

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.680
<v Speaker 1>like Isaiah Thomas or tom Izzo. I would personally like

0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.440
<v Speaker 1>someone like Jordi Fernandez from the Kings, or maybe a

0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Becky Hammond from the Las Vegas Aces, but I very

0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:27.360
<v Speaker 1>very doubt that Ishbio will hire an unknown. The bottom

0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.679
<v Speaker 1>line is this, you now have three coaches of the

0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Year in the past five years who are now unemployed,

0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:36.040
<v Speaker 1>four if you count Dwaine Casey, two of whom have

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 1>won NBA Championships. All I could say it's a cool

0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.199
<v Speaker 1>world out there. It's a cool, cold world. Whether it

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 1>turns out to be the right decision or not all

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:52.360
<v Speaker 1>depends on what comes next.
