​@anjerkanjer you're really going to blame citizens expecting repercussions for police brutality and gang-oriented activities as the reason why? Please, statistics show we are safer as a country than any other time in history. We are constantly trending upward for life expectancy and crime rates are going down. Don't spew rhetoric like that. The police decided if wrongful arrests can get a cop arrested, then they just won't do their job....accountability is too much for cops. Edit: For Baltimore, murder has gone up since the death of Freddie Gray. But that also is related to the extremely hostile relationship between the black community and the BPD.

He spent his late teens and entire adult life in prison having to attend funerals of his mother and sister in chains accompanied by armed guards. He died mere months after receiving compassionate release. College professors and notable people lauded him at his funeral for being highly intelligent but we all asked why he couldn't accomplish that on the outside.

Kenny (Kot4q) from the Through the Wire podcast had a fantastic point about Ja. There are a lot of kids in the US, especially Black kids, who are stuck in that position, and for millionaire Ja Morant to put himself in situations like this when he doesn't have to is disrespectful if not insulting to them. And I could not agree more. These kids live in neighborhoods with horrifically underfunded schools, with zero good jobs, with terrible utilities, with overwhelmed health care systems, with unsafe and overpriced housing, and with little access to fresh, affordable food. One or both of their parents likely work 50, 60+ hours a week, and they're still too poor to go to the doctor if they get sick. And in a society where your net worth and your worth as a person are seen as one and the same, these kids are stuck in an environment where the only people with any meaningful money are gang members. They get told that the only way for them to reliably put food on their table is to join an organization where willingness to commit violent crime is a prerequisite for entry. Despite the fact historically, crime rates plummet when living conditons rise, their local governments are much more focused on throwing maximum sentences at criminals than on addressing the root causes of crime, which leads to more single parent households, which leads to more poverty, which leads to higher crime rates. It is a vicious cycle, and there are millions of people, hundreds of thousands of kids, stuck in it. Utterly abandoned by the system. Ja Morant is a millionaire. Ja Morant could comfortably retire right now on the money he'll make this year alone, and he's set to make even more annually over the next 4 years. His decision to put himself adjacent to gang life is a slap in the face to every kid living in a low income, crime ridden neighborhood with no clear way out. There are thousands of kids in Memphis and the surrounding area whose lives would be changed forever by 1% of what Ja Morant makes in a year, and they have to sit there and watch him pretend to live the life that or someone they love are stuck in.

Bro he ain't you and you ain't him. Don't make this bout you by comparison yourself to him because most likely ain't no comparison.

@@benjaminwebber196 thanks for proving my point.

Normally I don’t agree with Charles opinions however Bro I totally agree with this one

[@tyreegomez6060]

Same I dont either but I'm with him on this

[@cccro6228]

Charles Barkley you did it in response to the Ja Morant incidents. Great response Charles.

[@gloriagrimes479]

Thank Charles,for your great advice to this young man 👏

[@BoxOfOranges84]

As always, Chuck goes where everyone else in sports media is too cowardly to go. This is not just about Ja Morrant making a bad; Ja is a wealthy/celebrity example of the millions of black men who throw their lives away to embrace a violent and destructive culture. I wish Chuck had also mentioned how Ja and the Grizz are using this extended "mental health recovery" scam narrative to avoid a mandatory 50-game (minimum) suspension from the NBA

[@brockjensen2473]

I some how love serious chuck just as much as chuck chuck

[@jeffguybersen]

Charles; "if you gonna have a gun- you have to be really really responsible with it!" That says it all!

[@shadowna3308]

He should be thrown out for a full season. People without his status would be prosecuted for the same

[@joeshmoe8134]

What was his crime? Don’t worry. I’ll wait.

[@zeekflash6924]

Your rich , hire a body guard or have your team .. provide one for u .. don’t put yourself in , bad Situations .. but young people , think they are invincible. Hopefully ja , learns and be better

[@adamrogers9169]

Love the accountability from the old dogs. He will be ok in the end but I think Chuck nailed it, surround yourself with better people. This young man has a bright future!

[@kevinarguello123]

Damm charles improving his career fg % with all the facts he’s shooting .

[@kappadiamond111]

I'm glad that Ja took ownership of his own faults. The lifestyle was in a fast lane, and he just needed to reset himself and reevaluate his environment. He didn't grow up in a bad situation, so he will get back on the right track. I'm sure all the hard work his father put in with him to get him this far will not fail. Everyone will see a new, improved version of himself when he returns.

[@JaySee8866]

If you believe Ja wrote that statement, you are as gullible as my 3yo. 😂

[@geza1014]

Jahahah Ja didnt write that. Dude been a bitch since day one in the league and made the culture of that team a bitch.

[@kappadiamond111]

@C.J. It doesn't matter who wrote it, but it is what it is, and if he learns his lesson, then it's history... we are all human, and nobody is perfect .

[@sith06]

That's just pr, if he took responsibility he would have done so after the team meeting. That's the fake stuff people do after they get into trouble.

[@seltonk5136]

The fake gangsters are the best. He grew up worrying about his next Fro- yo. He's a breadstick in a tank top, guess that's why he needs a gun

[@ripdajacker23]

Healing process?? How sensitive have we become that we can’t say suspension wtf😂

[@KQzActAsSuch]

Well said Chuck... especially the part about b on b crime.

This reminds me of the “dont be a menace” message!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@williamriley5118]

Anyone who is 23 is not a kid. But if people keep calling Ja a kid like Charles Barkley was doing then Ja will continue to act like one.

[@twonumber22]

You must be 23. lol

[@joeshmoe8134]

Lmao….23 is a kid. Your brain literally doesn’t stop forming until your 25-26 and in todays society most kids are still living with their parents until they’re 30.

[@kambuibomani231]

They did lol. He’s going to miss more games than Kyrie and go through similar guidelines in-house that Kai had to clear before he returned to the court. 50 game suspension was never on the table for Ja. This is the closest thing to being held accountable as hell get
