WEBVTT - Ja Morant Keeps Digging A Deeper Hole

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>You're tuned into Heat Check, buttal quick. On this episode

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:12.800
<v Speaker 1>of the Heat Check, everyone is talking about Jaw Joe.

0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 1>This is actually the only time in NBA history we

0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:19.480
<v Speaker 1>can say that joke, which is Joe, and it actually

0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:23.439
<v Speaker 1>makes sense. You're like, think about that. We'll fill you

0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:25.280
<v Speaker 1>in on what's happening with him. But I think probably

0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>from a different perspective because the media, the media machine

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:32.040
<v Speaker 1>is in full force and they're like vultures. The columnists

0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>are like vultures circling around Jaw's cold body. I also

0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:39.920
<v Speaker 1>break down some news from around the league, including New

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 1>York Knicks bing Bong and how the perilous future is

0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:47.920
<v Speaker 1>for the new Brooklyn Nets, especially and particularly Sean Marks.

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>A lot happening, Nick, drop that generic ass beat. I

0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about basketball. I want to talk about

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 1>four of the best shot makers on planet Earth going

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 1>toe to toe on a Saturday afternoon. I want to

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:11.400
<v Speaker 1>talk about Luca and Donchetz and Devin Booker going head

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:13.679
<v Speaker 1>to head, face to face, smile to smile at the

0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 1>end of a game. But you know what I have

0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>to talk about. I have to talk about one of

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>the best superstars in the league, one of the most

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 1>electric players in the league bringing a gun and taking

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 1>off his shirt and going to a strip club after

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>getting his ass handed to him by Yo Kitchen the

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Denver Nuggets And how did he get that gun to Denver?

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to talk about this. I bet you

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.320
<v Speaker 1>don't want to hear about this. I bet you don't

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 1>bet there's twenty five think pieces written about it already

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.400
<v Speaker 1>for those who have returned from a darkness retreat and

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.680
<v Speaker 1>don't know what I'm talking about. Jah Morant is I

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 1>don't even know if it's considered suspension because they didn't

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>say the words suspended. But Ja Morant is going to

0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>be away from the Memphis Grizzlies for at least two games. Wow.

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 1>He sorts his shit out, and the Grizzly sort their

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>shit out, and certainly the NBA sorts out what they

0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>want to do with Jah Morant. Why Because in the

0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 1>same week that a Washington Post article dropped about Jaw

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 1>flashing a gun, Jaw actually one on his own Instagram live.

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:24.239
<v Speaker 1>He did himself, people, He went on his own Instagram

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 1>live and showed a gun in his own hand to

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:36.240
<v Speaker 1>his own face. Why Jaw, Why At like two in

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 1>the morning of course it was at two in the morning.

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>What do you think it was at two in the afternoon. No,

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 1>there was alcohol involved, obviously, and he is in trouble.

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.079
<v Speaker 1>This is also on the eels of the Indiana Pacers

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>thing where they accused him and his friends pointing a

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 1>a laser scope gun thing. Adam, I don't even know

0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>there were right words, because I don't have guns. That's

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 1>how you know. I don't know the terms. What is

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>what is going on? Everyone is wayed in. Gilbert Reinas

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 1>is weighed in. Gilbert Arenas is a fucking idiot, by

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:15.040
<v Speaker 1>the way, Gilberna said, who, by the way, got suspended

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 1>fifty games for bringing a gun into the locker room.

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.679
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not gonna say he's the beacon of wisdom here.

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Thought maybe thought maybe he would have learned from this.

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Gilbert Arenas's take is the ja moran. We should just

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 1>pretend we didn't see it. This is real take. That's

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>his real take. Boogie Cousins, why are all these people

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>you see how it's like it's never never, like Dame

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Lillard like weighing in on it, you know what I mean?

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 1>It's like Boogie Cousins. Gilbert Ornus uh, Paul Piers like,

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 1>people who truthfully shouldn't be weighing in on this are

0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 1>weighing in like that's I guess what makes it funny.

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Boogey Cousins says, this is why you need a strong

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>veteran presence in your locker room. Someone lobbying for a

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 1>job here. Also, Boogey Cousins, I don't know if that's you, right.

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure that that type of person matches up

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 1>with you and your reputation. Paul Pierce, of all people,

0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 1>also chimed in. God. He says, I don't care what

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.480
<v Speaker 1>y'all say about jaw. I carried a gun after I

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:38.039
<v Speaker 1>was stabbed. Okay, oh god, Uh, we all don't know

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 1>what he's going through. Everyone got something to say. Until

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.279
<v Speaker 1>you really know what's going on in someone's life, when

0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>you black and rich, you're a target period.

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So we should just enact an open carry license

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 2>for every NBA player because they're all rich and they're

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 2>ninety five black.

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 1>So I guess that's what we'll do there. For Paul

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Pierce to feel comfortable, I can say this with complete confidence.

0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't think anyone is checking for these men's opinions

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 1>on this subject. I don't think anyone's like, hey, Adam,

0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 1>when are you gonna make it a decision about what's

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.880
<v Speaker 1>going on with Jaw. Well, I need to hear all

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 1>the stakeholders' opinions. I need to hear what Paul Pierce

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 1>and Gilbert's Arenas and Boogie Cousins have to say. First,

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the guys who I can really rely on to give

0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 1>me a cogent understanding of all the facts on the

0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 1>ground here. Ah, everyone wants to lecture, Everyone wants to

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 1>point out what Jaw's doing wrong. People want to pile

0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 1>on fucking columnists. They are vultures, aren't they. They come

0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.479
<v Speaker 1>out of the woodwork. I don't even know what they do,

0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 1>what they would do without this type of stuff. Like

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure Nancy I haven't read one column because why

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:09.040
<v Speaker 1>would I. But I am certain that Nancy Armor has

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:13.440
<v Speaker 1>a column. I'm certain Christine Brennan has a column. I'm

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:17.720
<v Speaker 1>certain Sally Jenkins has a column. That Dan Wolkan, who,

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I love I know these people like personally,

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.719
<v Speaker 1>so it's no shame to them. But Dan Wolkin covers

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:29.000
<v Speaker 1>college football. Okay, what does Dan Wolkin need to say

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 1>about Jahn Morant. Not a damn thing. It's kind of gross,

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.039
<v Speaker 1>isn't it. Like when you think about it, they all

0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 1>have some POV about how Jaw is going the wrong

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 1>direction and how without proper guidance and leadership, and there's

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 1>always some socioeconomic thing that these yts have to say

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:59.240
<v Speaker 1>about it. Right, it's wild. It's when you think about

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 1>it from that, it's absolutely Bonker's land what we're living in.

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.480
<v Speaker 1>They just sit around and they wait in a corner

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 1>somewhere until somebody, some athlete does something bad and then

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 1>they have a think piece ready to go. They have

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.400
<v Speaker 1>no connection to Ja Morant, They have no connection to

0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 1>these streets. They have no connection to being someone who's

0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:25.040
<v Speaker 1>that young with that much money that quick. And I

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>already said I think Jaw's being an idiot, so that's obvious.

0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 1>But these think piecers they got to get the fuck

0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.480
<v Speaker 1>out of here with that. Also, the person that I

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 1>did like when he had to say the only person

0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:41.280
<v Speaker 1>that I think had anything to say good was Jalen Rose.

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's listen, I am Jahn Morant.

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 3>Like you guys have got a chance to see me

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 3>grow up. For public consumption since nineteen ninety one, and

0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 3>I've been involved in drug raids, I've survived assassination attempts.

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:04.960
<v Speaker 3>I've been that undisciplined young person that was trying to

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:09.080
<v Speaker 3>figure out how to be famous, how to be successful,

0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.640
<v Speaker 3>and how to change the dynamics of my family. The

0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.880
<v Speaker 3>one thing that young people have to understand, and in

0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:19.840
<v Speaker 3>John Moran's case, when you first get drafted, you go

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:23.240
<v Speaker 3>from being a member of the family, a member of

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:27.000
<v Speaker 3>the crew, to being the leader, to being the bread

0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:30.080
<v Speaker 3>winner and first and foremost. I hear a lot of

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:34.240
<v Speaker 3>people talking about like his family and his crew. When

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:38.439
<v Speaker 3>you're the leader, it's on you because you end up

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:43.520
<v Speaker 3>searching that lifestyle. You end up wanting to be down.

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.880
<v Speaker 3>And what I had to learn is that people come

0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:52.840
<v Speaker 3>into your life for four reasons. To add, subtract, multiply,

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:57.959
<v Speaker 3>or divide. You have to choose wisely. He has way

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 3>too much to lose. Trust me. I've been that young

0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 3>player carrying a gun and Will Bond alluded to this.

0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:09.680
<v Speaker 3>When you start waving it, that could get you killed.

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:14.520
<v Speaker 3>That that ain't that's that's all. That's an entirely different

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:18.520
<v Speaker 3>thing than we're talking about. A superstar athlete should be

0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 3>putting themselves in position. And as Stephen they mentioned, that's

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:27.200
<v Speaker 3>him on the video on his ig live. Ain't nobody

0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 3>coaxing him, Ain't nobody got a uh, Ain't nobody egging

0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.800
<v Speaker 3>him on to do that. That's a personal choice.

0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.200
<v Speaker 1>That's a personal choice. Jalen Row is the only person

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm listening to listening to on this that is straight

0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 1>up facts. Because as much as uh, everybody's like, oh,

0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:49.200
<v Speaker 1>John needs to pick better friends, Oh, he's too loyal

0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:53.600
<v Speaker 1>to people who I saw his uncle on my Instagram

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.960
<v Speaker 1>and his uncle posted that Jalen Rose video and said, facts,

0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.920
<v Speaker 1>that's his uncle. Okay, so I've I think everybody's kind

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 1>of in agreement. Jaw's being a little bit of an

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:07.120
<v Speaker 1>asshole right now. He's doing things the wrong way on

0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:11.600
<v Speaker 1>his own. It was Jaw who decided allegedly to beat

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 1>that seventeen year old kid down when the kid threw

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.640
<v Speaker 1>the basketball at him. It was Jaw flashing the gun

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 1>on his own Instagram on social media, which is just crazy,

0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Like that decision is just baffling to me, as someone

0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 1>who's made my own share of Instagram live decisions wild.

0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:35.120
<v Speaker 1>This is wild, and as I say, I say this

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.440
<v Speaker 1>that Jaw could be the problem, Like Jaw is his

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.640
<v Speaker 1>own worst enemy. That is an issue that needs to

0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:44.440
<v Speaker 1>be addressed. Who he decides to have with them is

0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 1>only augmenting what's going on. I think Jaw is the

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.840
<v Speaker 1>most exciting player in all of sports, period. End of story.

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.560
<v Speaker 1>I love Damian Lillard. I think John Moran is the

0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 1>only player I would go to the Capitol One Center

0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:01.680
<v Speaker 1>to see. It's true, Capitol One is trash. The lighting

0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:07.079
<v Speaker 1>is horrible, the vibe is awful, parking awful, Chinatown, all

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.960
<v Speaker 1>of it, all of it. But I said, you know what,

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go and see Jaw at the Capitol One.

0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Did I see John? No? I did not. That's a

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>totally different story, a different day. It's a low management discussion.

0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:20.200
<v Speaker 1>But I was like, you know what, I'm still gonna go.

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Why just so I can get a glimpse of Jaw

0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:27.400
<v Speaker 1>in street close. That's how cool and how exciting and

0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:31.400
<v Speaker 1>how electric Jaw is. You want to know what his

0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 1>vibe is at any given moment, but Jaw clearly has not.

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Is just the problem, has a problem, and he alludes

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.880
<v Speaker 1>to it on his statement the pr statement that like

0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:48.080
<v Speaker 1>his Olivia Popes put out. He said, I take full

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:53.120
<v Speaker 1>responsibility for my actions last night. I'm sorry to my family, teammates, coaches, fans, partners,

0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 1>City of Memphis, and the entire Grizzlies organization for letting

0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.040
<v Speaker 1>you down. But this is the key piece. I'm going

0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 1>to take some time away to get help and work

0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:07.200
<v Speaker 1>on learning better methods of dealing with stress and my

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 1>overall well being. Straight out of the Josh Primo pr handbook.

0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.560
<v Speaker 1>I think that's like basically what he said. I'm gonna

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:19.640
<v Speaker 1>take some time away and find some better methods to

0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 1>coping with stress. The keywords get help, learning better methods.

0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:31.360
<v Speaker 1>It is very clear that Ja Moran has had I

0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:36.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know if problems is the right statement, but definitely

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:44.559
<v Speaker 1>things surrounding alcohol, and it's clearly something that's being used

0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 1>in a way that could be construed as destructive and toxic.

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 1>It's certainly not new. I remember thinking ooh when I

0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:57.120
<v Speaker 1>watched Jaws again. Another Instagram wive, this man wants to

0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:00.319
<v Speaker 1>broadcast all of his business out on the streets for

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.319
<v Speaker 1>no reason, clearly being like Ooh, I get drunk, I'm

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 1>so cool. So he posted on a private plane on

0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:09.520
<v Speaker 1>the way to Cleveland last year to the All Star Game,

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.679
<v Speaker 1>his first All Star appearance. I'm watching him not shirtless,

0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:16.640
<v Speaker 1>but just guzzling a bottle of tequila on the plane

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:20.880
<v Speaker 1>with his friends, loud dancing. Fine, but it was like,

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:25.080
<v Speaker 1>you're already fucked up, you are already trashed, and you're

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:29.120
<v Speaker 1>taking another bottle of alcohol to the head. Not good.

0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:31.880
<v Speaker 1>And then he was like, oh, yeah it was lit

0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:35.360
<v Speaker 1>at All Star Game. Ooh it was lit. Yeah, okay, yeah.

0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:39.720
<v Speaker 1>The like a lot of this surrounds bad decisions when

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:44.959
<v Speaker 1>you are not sober and you lose control, things happen

0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.640
<v Speaker 1>in your brain. Those sensors that tell you, hey, you

0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.840
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't do this, Those sensors go away when you've had

0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.839
<v Speaker 1>too much tequila. Hence the whole blame it on, Blame

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.320
<v Speaker 1>it on Henny, Blame it on Patron, Like that's you

0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 1>can't you bring a gun to the club. You can't

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:02.480
<v Speaker 1>blame it on the alcohol. You can't. Sorry, Like it's

0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:05.559
<v Speaker 1>the truth, and you people forget Jaws only twenty three

0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 1>years old. He's a baby. Yeah what I was doing

0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:12.840
<v Speaker 1>at twenty three years old? My lord, my lord, It

0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.240
<v Speaker 1>doesn't excuse anything. But this is a guy who just

0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 1>signed five years two hundred and thirteen million dollars. Nothing

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.360
<v Speaker 1>can prepare you for five years two hundred and thirteen

0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.080
<v Speaker 1>million dollars at twenty three years old. And I love

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.800
<v Speaker 1>him because he's defiant. He's defiant, and that is what

0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:29.280
<v Speaker 1>that Instagram life was. Oh, Washington Post, you want to

0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 1>post a story about me putting a gun in my waistband,

0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.280
<v Speaker 1>let me show you this gun to the face, no

0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:39.320
<v Speaker 1>shirt on. Like, okay, I don't think you get it, sir,

0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Like you can go to jail for this. You've now

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.840
<v Speaker 1>moved a gun allegedly. I don't know how the gun

0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:46.560
<v Speaker 1>got there, but the NBA is gonna want to know

0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:50.440
<v Speaker 1>the gun got from Memphis to Denver, across state lines,

0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:54.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe on a team plane. Now you're talking about felony,

0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:59.440
<v Speaker 1>You're talking about Gilbert Arena's suspensions. All kind of things

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:04.840
<v Speaker 1>are in play, and now this just came in today.

0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Colorado police are now investigating the incidents to see if

0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:11.200
<v Speaker 1>job Brokenny laws. It is believed that jaws Ig Live

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:15.000
<v Speaker 1>was filmed in Glendale, a suburb of Denver known for

0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:19.600
<v Speaker 1>its strip clubs. He since he was only It's the

0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:23.000
<v Speaker 1>only county in Colorado that is not an open carry County.

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Very unfortunate scenario for Jahn Morant. He may be now

0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:32.120
<v Speaker 1>in play for a weapons violation. That is, in addition

0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:34.520
<v Speaker 1>to whether it can be ascertained if it was his

0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 1>playing his own gun on the team plane, which would

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:41.240
<v Speaker 1>break all kinds of NBA locker room type laws. This

0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:45.840
<v Speaker 1>shit could get ugly very fast. Sometimes it's better to

0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:47.560
<v Speaker 1>be a slept on team. The Grizzlies, I think, are

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.560
<v Speaker 1>a team that's better to be slept on them as

0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:51.960
<v Speaker 1>the team that everybody's looking for, they do not know

0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.640
<v Speaker 1>how to handle that. You have Dylan Brooks with sixteen

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.000
<v Speaker 1>technicals already at this point in the year. He's getting

0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:01.120
<v Speaker 1>suspended suspensions. You've got John Morant happy. This is probably

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:07.400
<v Speaker 1>the worst weekend for the Grizzlies in team history because

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 1>they lose Brandon Clark to an achilles injury, which is

0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.440
<v Speaker 1>not being discussed. It would have if this jaw thing

0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:16.640
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have happened. You've had Steven Adams missing a bajillion games,

0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:22.560
<v Speaker 1>knows when he's coming back, and now you've got one

0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:24.760
<v Speaker 1>of the thinnest teams as a two seed and you're

0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:27.080
<v Speaker 1>losing to the LA Clippers. When you had a fifteen

0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:31.680
<v Speaker 1>point lead in third quarter. You're just pew Downstandings, Sacramaro

0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Kings breathing down your throat, Clippers breathing down your throat,

0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:39.960
<v Speaker 1>MAVs breathing all down your throat. I want Jaw back,

0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.800
<v Speaker 1>but I only want jawback if he's changed as a player,

0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 1>if he's changed as a human being, Because if he

0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.040
<v Speaker 1>has the same baggage in the Satis decision making tree

0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:55.400
<v Speaker 1>that he had when he decided, Oh yeah, you think

0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:57.480
<v Speaker 1>this is gonna harm me, I'm gonna put the gun

0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:00.160
<v Speaker 1>in the ig life. If that shit is going, this

0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:05.280
<v Speaker 1>is gonna get bad very fast because Jaw, we don't

0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:08.720
<v Speaker 1>deserve it. But really, Jaw doesn't deserve it. Really, Jaw

0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:12.919
<v Speaker 1>needs to sort himself out. He deserves to play with

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:17.159
<v Speaker 1>new tactics to deal with being him. Outside of just

0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:21.399
<v Speaker 1>bottles of Henny and strip clubs and guns. There's gotta

0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:27.000
<v Speaker 1>be other things. Kyler Murray chooses call of duty. Maybe

0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.200
<v Speaker 1>it's call of duty. I don't know what the methods

0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:31.520
<v Speaker 1>of coping are going to be for Jaw, but this

0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:35.359
<v Speaker 1>clearly can't be the method because obviously it's leading to

0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:40.080
<v Speaker 1>being reckless and reckless decisions with a superstar with pajillions

0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:42.480
<v Speaker 1>of money on the line. We're talking about sponsorship, we're

0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:45.000
<v Speaker 1>talking about the league is not going to work. And

0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.399
<v Speaker 1>I will wait, and we should all be ready to

0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.959
<v Speaker 1>wait for as long as necessary for this new version

0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:53.080
<v Speaker 1>of Ja Moran to come back.
