WEBVTT - Another Ja Morant Story Comes To Light

0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I wish I could say things are getting better in

0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Jahn Morant's life, but that would be a lie. Things

0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>have developed in a negative way since the last update

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:23.880
<v Speaker 1>that we've had. You see, the problem that people don't

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 1>realize when you put a spotlight on yourself is that

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:36.479
<v Speaker 1>when the light of day reveals your misdeats. In this case,

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>now you have another incident in which Jaw wanted to

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:43.879
<v Speaker 1>fight a minor. I actually thought it was just the

0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 1>same story because it was so similar to the last

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 1>story where Jaw wanted to fight a minor. Yeah, nobody

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>seems more ready to scrap with minors than jaum Rant.

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 1>It's like he's like Oprah, He's like, you get these hands,

0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>you get these hands. And I don't know if they

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>know these people, these celebrities that once you get into

0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>the crosshairs of TMZ, they are going to dig and

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>find everything. They are going to find any little bit

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>of drama that they can pull out so that they

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:18.759
<v Speaker 1>can capitalize on your troubles and struggles for money. That's it.

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:22.120
<v Speaker 1>That's the issue that we have. TMZ just reported that

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Jaw was investigated by police in September of twenty twenty

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>two for a confrontation that took place at Jaw's sister's

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:38.759
<v Speaker 1>high school volleyball game. Okay, Jaw's sister apparently gets into

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>a shouting match with another students. Does anybody else feel

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.679
<v Speaker 1>like the morants kind of have like got an aggressive

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>problem anyway, So the sister gets into it with another student,

0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 1>calls her brother for backup, kind of like his mom

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>called him allegedly for backup at the mall. And then

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Jaw told this some unknown teenager, I will beat your

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 1>ass under eighteen. Presumably when told that, the guy was like, hey, uh,

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>he's a kid. His kid's in high school with your

0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.120
<v Speaker 1>little sister right now, you're gonna beat his ass. The

0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>disheartening thing was a witness told police that Jaw looked

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 1>like he was ready to pull a gun out on

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 1>high school kid over being called a bitch. Did I

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 1>mention the Jaw makes two hundred and ten million dollars,

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah in this story and did by the time this

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>thing happened. Yeah, that's what happens when the spotlight comes

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>out on you. All the dumb shit that you've done

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 1>now comes to the day of light. These tabloids. Fine,

0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:51.919
<v Speaker 1>everything turns out Memphis has been trying to cajole Jaw

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 1>into growing the fuck up four months now. Steven Adams

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 1>the night that Jaw went to the Strip club, well,

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.920
<v Speaker 1>the second that Jaw went to the strip club, we

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 1>now know he actually touched down from Houston went immediately

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 1>to what was it Shotgun Willies. Anyway, so he goes

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:15.520
<v Speaker 1>to Shotgun Willies when he arrives into town, literally gets

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 1>off the plane, heads over to the strip club. Steven

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Adams before the night of the game against the Nuggets

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.800
<v Speaker 1>said hey, we've got to stay locked in on the road.

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>We can't be doing crazy things. And then that very

0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 1>same day Jaw Gun Strip Club ig Live. That little

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 1>pep talk from Steven Adams turns out worked terribly. There

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>is more. According to Taylor Jenkins, they have had conversations

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 1>in the past trying to guide Jaw and help him

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 1>continue to evolve as a person and as a player.

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 1>That is a direct quote. This obviously came to the

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 1>head the other day. It put this process into action.

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Taylor Jenkins and the Memphis Grizzlies have been figuring out

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>a way to get Jaw onto the straight and narrow

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 1>and then to no avail. He then goes to the

0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:13.680
<v Speaker 1>strip club gun suspension imminent and now the thing that

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 1>they were trying to do, they have to do. Jenkins

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.719
<v Speaker 1>also reported the Jaw will be out at least another

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:24.840
<v Speaker 1>four games, and although no charge came from Colorado, the

0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:28.719
<v Speaker 1>league also announced any penalty that comes will be solely

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:32.480
<v Speaker 1>at the discretion of Adam Silver and would be retroactive.

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 1>So my opinion, that fifty game suspension a lot of

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:40.360
<v Speaker 1>people were thinking he might get, he will not get.

0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 1>And I think what we'll see is probably a twenty

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 1>game ban or a twenty game suspension backdated for how

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.640
<v Speaker 1>many other games that he's missed by the time the

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 1>suspension comes out. So he'll probably be back, in my estimation,

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:58.719
<v Speaker 1>by right in time for the playoffs, Which means, what

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.599
<v Speaker 1>is Jaw completely in shape for this? Is he ready

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.600
<v Speaker 1>to play basketball? Will he bring a gun on the

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.840
<v Speaker 1>road in the playoffs? Who knows one thing. I know

0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.599
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna take a long time for Jaw to really

0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>fix his reputation. The reputation right now is Jaw, strip

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:23.719
<v Speaker 1>clubs guns. Shockingly, Powerade does not want to be associated

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>with those three symbols. Powerade has polled Ja Morant's advertising

0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 1>campaign as of today, which sucks because Jaw would have

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 1>been a tremendous candidate and spokesperson for this brand. It

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:40.120
<v Speaker 1>would have elevated him on a lot of different national scales.

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they're going to drop him all together,

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 1>but they have dropped all advertising from that, especially considering

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.440
<v Speaker 1>the Jaw I forgot to mention got ratted out by

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 1>the Strip Club. I don't know if you saw the photos.

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:59.760
<v Speaker 1>There was fifty thousand dollars of money like layered onto

0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 1>the floor. It's like Scrooge McDuck in there, and he

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 1>had a lap dance and no shirt on, and it

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 1>was a lot of things happening in there. By the way,

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:17.520
<v Speaker 1>as an aside, that part Sand's gun substituting or taking

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 1>out the gun, that is what NBA players do on

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 1>the road. If you think that NBA players as a

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.599
<v Speaker 1>whole at large don't hit the Strip club and spend

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:30.080
<v Speaker 1>it on godly amount of money on women's you're incorrect anyway,

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 1>very sad narrative. Gilbert Reinez thinks it's gonna take years

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 1>before Jah gets his reputation back and attacked, before he's

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:41.360
<v Speaker 1>a Tier one player again. I tend to agree the

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>most sad thing, though, is that Jaw was one of

0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 1>the few players who could be like Alan Iverson, completely himself,

0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 1>completely close to the music, dreads a blue dread, a

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:59.200
<v Speaker 1>grill hitting the gritty. After wins and white America didn't

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:05.159
<v Speaker 1>say an Everyone loved Jaw. He was a national treasure.

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 1>When have you ever seen someone like Jaw become someone

0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.400
<v Speaker 1>that could be the face of the NBA not just

0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.680
<v Speaker 1>the face of the NBA from the culture, but the

0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:20.680
<v Speaker 1>face of the NBA from the actual powers that be

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 1>in Corporate America, Powerade, Nike, Adam Silver. They were all

0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 1>ready to crown Jaw when Steph Curry left. And you

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 1>know what, now all that shit's gone. Gilbert Reinaz thinks

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:33.800
<v Speaker 1>John needs to cut his hair in order to get

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.240
<v Speaker 1>his reputation even close to where he was before. And

0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:40.240
<v Speaker 1>you know what, he might be right. He might be right.

0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Things were getting into a place where players didn't have

0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 1>to fit into a box to be accepted and loved

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:51.760
<v Speaker 1>by Middle America. And now we started back at square

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 1>one again. So congratulations, Jaw fucked up. I hope he

0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 1>does get back to some semblance of peace and tranquility,

0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:01.680
<v Speaker 1>though I can't wait to see him back on the court.

0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:06.880
<v Speaker 1>All right, Moving on, we stick with the grizz. Oh boy,

0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 1>did we have a full on fun back and forth

0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 1>between the grizz and the Warriors. And I think it's

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:19.280
<v Speaker 1>probably true. We now have a full on rivalry on

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:27.000
<v Speaker 1>our hands between Draymond Green, Dylan Brooks, Grizzlies Warriors. Let's

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:31.200
<v Speaker 1>break it down. So it all started with this interview

0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:37.679
<v Speaker 1>that's Tim McEwan, I believe, from ESPN did on Dylan Brooks,

0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 1>the one we talked about, Dylan Brooks wants you to

0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Stay mad. Dylan the Villain gave a ton of quotes,

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:48.199
<v Speaker 1>mostly about his demeanor, play style, but he said some

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 1>things about Draymond, which we discussed. He said he didn't

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 1>like Draymond at all. He doesn't like Golden State, doesn't

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>like anything to do with them. He thought Draymond was

0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:58.760
<v Speaker 1>trash in a bunch of different ways. He said that

0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:00.680
<v Speaker 1>he talks a lot, he gets away with a lot,

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.720
<v Speaker 1>His game is okay, but if you put him anywhere else,

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:08.440
<v Speaker 1>he's basically just a guy. That's Dylan Brooks, right. We

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.000
<v Speaker 1>know that that's what he's gonna do. He's a shit

0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 1>talking extraordin there. So then I wondered to myself, is

0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Draymond going to respond to this nonsense or is he

0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 1>going to leave it alone? He did not disappoint.

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Draymond talks a lot. You talk a lot now, so

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.800
<v Speaker 2>if you have four rings, sure you talk a lot more.

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 2>For All Stars, you probably talk a bit more. Defensive

0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Player of the Year, you for damn sure would talk

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 2>more to Olympic gold medals. You definitely would be talking

0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:46.080
<v Speaker 2>because that would mean you beat Team USA, and we

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.960
<v Speaker 2>all know how to that go. So gets away with

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.320
<v Speaker 2>a lot too, What exactly do I get away with?

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:56.160
<v Speaker 2>I have fifteen texts, one less than your dumb ass. Okay, great,

0:09:56.440 --> 0:10:01.079
<v Speaker 2>his game is cool. If you ever wondered wider Memphis

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Grizzlies is not ready took a pee for a championship,

0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.199
<v Speaker 2>Look no further than this idiot right here. They're actually

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.800
<v Speaker 2>depending on this guy to help them win a championship,

0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.320
<v Speaker 2>and he says his game is cool. Quite frankly, that

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.559
<v Speaker 2>just shows how little you know about basketball.

0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it goes on and on, It went on

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.560
<v Speaker 1>and on, and so then everyone was like, oh, Dylan

0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Brooks was packed up into a suitcase, put into the

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 1>trunk of a car, in a hearse into his grave.

0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:30.439
<v Speaker 1>Dylan Brooks is dead. Dylan Brooks, Oh he died, Oh

0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 1>he did now. Uh. The problem is that the Grizzlies

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.319
<v Speaker 1>and the Warriors had some basketball to play on primetime

0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Thursday night. Let's just say it did not go well

0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 1>for our dubs. They got destroyed one thirty one, one ten.

0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Dylan Brooks Electric Factory tried to go to bait Draymond

0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:52.440
<v Speaker 1>and getting into an altercation. It did not work. Twenty

0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 1>one point win, where Xavier Tillman came on the record

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 1>and said, listen, we were doing this for Brooks. Did

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 1>not want to let him down. Draymond sixteen five and

0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.840
<v Speaker 1>seven with three steals, he was a negative one for

0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:09.840
<v Speaker 1>the game. Brooks fourteen four and six, one block, one

0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 1>steal plus twenty two four said game. If you want

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.480
<v Speaker 1>to know, did the talking stop there? What happened next?

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:17.960
<v Speaker 1>It did not stop there?

0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:19.959
<v Speaker 2>This rivalry you want to call it that or not

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.479
<v Speaker 2>if you want to call it that, but I would disagree.

0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 3>All right, Well, where you want to call it, I

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:30.320
<v Speaker 3>guess like basketball game, no worse, no worse. Obviously, Dylan,

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 3>you have some decent in your podcast. Deal, have something

0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:33.679
<v Speaker 3>to say you guys on the court tonight. Just I

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 3>guess when when two teams get that competitive like that,

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.680
<v Speaker 3>how much for you guys? Is that still that still

0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:40.080
<v Speaker 3>fire you guys up a little bit or is it

0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.000
<v Speaker 3>just kind of you're used to it at this point.

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:45.600
<v Speaker 2>No, I expect it. Team's been getting up for us

0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 2>for years and talk like they can beat you and

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 2>then not. That doesn't create a rivalry. Rivalries are created

0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 2>by you win. I win, and clearly we won four times,

0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:01.080
<v Speaker 2>and I think their organization has zero championship, So I

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:04.640
<v Speaker 2>can't consider that a rivalry. Say when you ain't talking

0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 2>about in March, you're talking about I mean, anybody can

0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:14.400
<v Speaker 2>win in March. Anybody can win at March. What that

0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 2>means I have a hard time getting out of my

0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:19.959
<v Speaker 2>bed in March.

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I have a hard time getting out of my

0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:24.120
<v Speaker 1>bed in March.

0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:25.840
<v Speaker 3>Ah.

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:30.319
<v Speaker 1>So Dylan Brooks directly after the game at this message

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:31.000
<v Speaker 1>for Draymond.

0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.800
<v Speaker 2>That was an oppressive showing tonight. Hey, thank you, appreciate it.

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate you should give them Mike to Draymond talk to

0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.800
<v Speaker 2>people in what was that make them keep talking about

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:40.600
<v Speaker 2>me so I can play better.

0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, guys, it's cute, it's fun. So is it

0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 1>a rivalry? What makes a rivalry? I think they're both right.

0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.320
<v Speaker 1>They battled into the postseason. Memphis did send their ass

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:55.640
<v Speaker 1>home in the playing tournament. Golden State obviously beat them

0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:59.120
<v Speaker 1>last year. One thing that we do know is it

0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:04.640
<v Speaker 1>this Grizzlies Warriors rivalry is going nowhere. It is going

0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:09.760
<v Speaker 1>to be hotly contested. I need a first round matchup

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.960
<v Speaker 1>between the Grizzlies and the Warriors. I need it so

0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:16.080
<v Speaker 1>damn bad. I need Jaw, maybe a second round. I

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:17.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know if they're both gonna get to the second round,

0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:22.679
<v Speaker 1>but if Jaw's fully healthy and Steph is fully healthy,

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:26.479
<v Speaker 1>Dylan Brooks and Draymond Green, it's going to be fireworks.

0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I cannot wait. I need it, I need it, I

0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:30.760
<v Speaker 1>need it.
