I feel like that’s the point a lot of people are missing lol I doubt it’d be a problem if Ja or any NBA player was just at a shooting range or taking a picture with a gun. The same way there’s no issue with NBA players casually drinking alcohol, and even now casually talking about weed. But I think there would be an issue if players were showing themselves getting blackout drunk and smoking fat blunts on IG. Because that could be an irresponsible way to use those things. Sure, adults probably know how to do all those things safely -- but plenty of the impressionable young NBA fans could want to try the same thing and not know the dangers 🤷‍♂️ so were these politicians dancing around with their guns, aiming them at people, setting a bad example of how to use guns? Or is the only thing in common that they simply had guns?

Contractual terms are subject to reasonable interpretation. How does the lawful possession of a firearm violate a morality clause? Where is the morality issue in lawfully possessing a firearm?

[@darrylperry6029]

Thank you guys. The “morality clause” is not a law, but it is there to to direct your behavior especially for those who can’t control their themselves. Morant’s actions are irresponsible because indirectly he advocates gun violence. Whether he likes it or not he has a direct influence on others.

[@ANGELOFDARKification]

Fair play to the panel for calling him out and holding him accountable. I expected Kenny to be on Ja's side but he kept it real too.

[@Booth1667]

There is no RATIONAL defense for Morant's actions

[@AIIEYESONME]

I'd think he'd like to also. Kenny will counterpoint just about everything. I think that's his role on here. But as Booth says it. There is no way to call it without just sounding argumentative for TV drama, or end up looking like an idiot who can't follow simple logic.

[@wendellotanael5201]

Everyone is expendable. Ja needs to understand that

[@denniszenanywhere]

I like what Kenny said about how his behavior can cost Grizzlies and the NBA money, not the just these organizations btw but also the people working in these organizations, from the janitor all the way up to the ticket sellers. If for instance, JA gets suspended, fewer people will come to watch the games.

Early 90's basket ball. Detroit Pistons-Bill Laimbeer, Dennis Rodman, Isaiah Thomos, Joe Dumars and others. These guys were there to win the Championship. Hard fouls, jaw jacking in your face comfort zone playing. Great physical ability on the top NBA level.

JJ Reddick s take was ridiculous... Trying to score Woke garbage point

[@sheckyfeinstein]

Not a woke garbage point. Woke folks worry about guns.

[@TonyAtmos]

Gotta love people taking a word and twisting it so much that now it means anything someone doesn't like. Instead of the original meaning.. Yall so cring repeating everything your group leaders say 🥸

[@aztro187]

@@TonyAtmos look who's talking! Hahahaha GTFOH

[@cartierjoe]

Woke in the Black & White communities must have 2 different definitions, Caucasians use it like it's an insult lol. Nubians use it to show you know your past and not his-story

[@jaybee9471]

Woke always meant to see things for how they really are. Understand the truth of realities and stay alert for peoples or institutions motivations. It got twisted by the Alt-right and then moved into mainstream“conservatism”. Sadly the people screaming against wokeness are truly the ones that need to get woke.

[@cvader7]

Young people would see this and mirror that behavior! That's the real problem. I'm with the NBA's decision, this is not the ghetto! Im glad that there are brothers who are thinking and not simply being emotional or playing the victim!

[@Code_Rapper]

Been waiting for this segment since Sunday; will edit my response after watched. Edit: Feels like something you'd watch playing MyCareer in NBA2K. Ja gonna get suspended for probably half of next season. It's awkwardly weird to watch all of the NBA Networks not even try to destroy his character or his personality but rather are worried and care about him and are disappointed. This is obviously an atmosphere and society where people can prosper and be the best versions of themselves. I think Ja might have 1 last chance with a lot to prove. This will be a make or break year for him for sure.

[@cryptojedii]

That's right Ernie - don't let these guys overtalk you. LOVE that he stuck up for himself in letting him finish his thought!!

[@servdv]

Thank you Kenny the first one to comment and and spoke the truth perfectly. The worst part about it is the first situation. I think we all were like he is a idiot but we understand young guys make mistakes but to go and do it again after know full well your cannot do these types of things and represent the NBA blows my mind. Kenny said it best its him and its too man famous people with names trying to defend this nonsense.

[@hellothankyougoodbye6812]

Damn Charles lookin slim! Props to him🙏💯

[@jessemartinez6148]

I kinda cringe when Earnie told Kenny can I finish , can I finish 😂

[@Lethal205]

Kenny always interrupting 😂

[@thebluehotel426]

Such a good conversation.Wise advice. Thanks guys. I hope Ja grows up.

[@shaq238]

Im glad Kenny & Chuck made the point about the morality clause. I was among those defending Ja, saying he broke no laws and shouldn’t be suspended, though he is an idiot for damaging his reputation. But if the NBA contract specifically prohibits things like this, there should be some action.

[@richatlarge462]

Even worse, after the first violation of that clause, he was spoken to, and he agreed to change his ways, and then it happened a second time. So yeah, the league really has no choice but to punish him, regardless of the fact that he broke no law.

[@hollissherfieldjr.5974]

Great takes from everyone on the panel.

[@Thatcoolwhiteguy]

Completely agree with Charles. He didn’t get charged with a crime, but what he did was 100% illegal. You can’t have a firearm inside a club for one. And 2 you definitely cannot brandish it inside a restricted area. 😂😂😂 it’ll be a learning lesson. Dude got potential.

[@thegreatexpansebyjonbap4266]

Kenny was really on point with this take on Ja Morant. Kudos to Kenny, and the Inside crew.

[@lighty805]

I was waiting for my boys 💪🏼

[@INoahGuy914]

Shaq always wants to pay for the fine if Charles curses lmao 😂

[@jonathanblaze1648]

Ernie interrupting Shaq's turn then gets mad at Kenny for interrupting him. Hypocrite.

[@OhNoMrKoolaidMan]

Damn bro

[@mightymulatto3000]

Last thing the league wants to be talking about during the the playoffs.

[@joseenrico4753]

Salute to Chuck on his comments

[@damienlee927]

People forget, someone already got hurt, a 17 yr old in a pick up game. If a punch was already thrown, and was ready to be thrown multiple times, he and his ‘friends’ are very very close to shooting someone next

[@chris_chitown97]

Ja said he wants to be a shooter on and off the court.

[@oldcodger4371]

Just like shooters on the court, there's always a shooter off the court more accurate than you. On the court you get to go home. Off the court you go to the morgue.

[@robertvargas1171]

“The levity” lol Kenny absolutely has no idea what that word means

[@Jassenjd]

Crazy how Ja has worked so hard to have what he has and is throwing it away to impress people that don’t care about him. Tough

[@julianbryce31]

true!! social media he should emulate bron, jordan ,charles they are not angels but they made sure they are no cameras .. im sure even bron has one but no videos..smart guy

[@leslieevans3259]

Truth.

[@Harveygregorxotwod]

Chuck lost a bit of weight? Bro grown a jawline lol

[@itsintheword230]

Kenny:" Ernie there's a lot of people in prison that can give you a good story"😂😂😂😂😂😂 This young generation is all about money and they don't think they can be held accountable by anybody. That's why you see the repeat offense...... This is what the rap culture promotes
