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?

Always love Chuck. He drops that truth you don't wanna hear but need to know, and he don't sugar-coat a damn thing.

[@thegreatexpansebyjonbap4266]

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

[@BEAR-jr8nx]

They just said everything I've been telling these dummies who trying to make excuse for Ja Morant who has a NBA contract he has to go by and I was born and live in Memphis where you will almost do anything to be in his position smdh

[@AussiePillow1]

The fact there are firearm owners trying to defend Ja shows that there are firearm owners who don't know basic firearm safety rules.

[@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.

[@TheBestMovieAlive]

Anyone know if they ever talked about the Nuggets - Lakers game? I wished they were able to cover both the western and eastern conference finals.

[@brandonmansell]

they do bro, and will. Its either already posted or will be posted

[@janicerichards8959]

We are speaking about the Dunker JA now Dear ok.😂❤❤❤❤

[@bwillwin1505]

They talked about it after the Boston-heat game. Not for long though

[@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.

[@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!!

[@jessemartinez6148]

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

[@Lethal205]

Kenny always interrupting 😂

[@trump45and2zig-zags]

Even when it's serious, chuck cracks me up! He told said to go ahead and immediately cut him off and kept talking lol

[@jonathanblaze1648]

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

[@OhNoMrKoolaidMan]

Damn bro

[@Loveveryday-f9j]

Man I appreciate these brothas! I don’t see why ppl don’t understand this…

[@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.

[@mightymulatto3000]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@lichazeakel1126]

Ja has done more than just wave a gun twice. He has had multiple incidents involving him, his friends and even his parents.

[@Mr.Davs2216]

Gun rights is about the right to defend yourself, and your family, not to run around being foolish/dangerous with a gun like Ja is doing.

[@conchobar]

Ja did not brandish a handgun. Please people, look up the legal definition of it. That said, Ja needs to surround himself with real friends. I had friends who did illegal things, but they always shielded me from it, because they cared about my reputation, even when they didn't care about their own. That's what friends do.

[@yajeel]

Absolutely…. Real friends want what best for you. Not what they can get out of the friendship themselves.

[@romulus_]

he didn't brandish but he was in possession of one. in this context that's splitting hairs -- he was already warned about this.

[@Geeandrezzi]

The NBA has its own code of conduct bro. He may not have been brandishing a gun, but he might as well have in the eyes of his employer…

[@wendellotanael5201]

Everyone is expendable. Ja needs to understand that

[@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.

[@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.

[@TheTheratfarmer]

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.

[@arlenem9697]

Carrying a gun in some states is legal, flashing it freely is another thing. Go to your regular 9 to 5 job, working 40 to 90 house a week, and flash a gun. Guess what you're fired. No 8 days off without pay, no begging your boss for your job back, and no second chance. Pay me $100 million for my 9 to 5 job. I be the first person there and the last to leave with a smile on my face. Some people don't know how blessed they are until it's all gone.

[@Thekidisalright]

Love Chuck call out JJ for his L take, it’s fucking stupid

[@Markfelton11476]

wow charles couldn’t of explained it any better

[@SuperDiggem]

Chuck was talking directly to JJ Redick. JJ sounded ridiculous today.

[@zXNateDoggXz]

Ja dont get he's an EMPLOYEE, and u gotta follow the code of conduct that they put out

[@thebluehotel426]

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