I'm a nobody and I still have to conduct myself in a respectful manner at all times. It's amplified for Ja because he is a commonly known name at this point. He is someone who will always be representing his company regardless of if the season is ongoing or not. You're free to do whatever you want to do but understand that those choices can and will result in loss of employment. That's just how it goes. It's not about him pulling the gun and waving it.

@@Koudey You didn't understand Shprite point, its not a knock on Lebron, is actually a compliment to Lebron, dude had a much harder upbring, and never behave like a fool, you can say what you want about his basketball and choosing teams, but Lebron is a great representant of the NBA and that is the kind of example Ja should follow, if he wants to become better. I don't like knocking people, but is not his first time doing this stuff, and Kenny point was tremendous, if you put a target on your back, maybe next time someone's coming to aim.

I think the main point from Kenny is when you do things like that on camera, you are inviting elements into your life that you may not be prepared for. This is CRITICAL! There are people that look for confrontation, and will love to make a name off of your demise. When someone like Ja has so much to lose, his number 1 priority should be to keep those people away from him... That should be his friend's and family's number 1 priority as well.

They all get it. Act like decent people and good things come your way. Doesn't need acknowledgement even though it was probably nice for Chuck to hear.

[@SheridaValentine]

Chuck need to shut up too. He was a bad boy himself who finally got it together and it was not too late for him. So he needs to tread lightly when talking about others. And why is Shaq giving him kudos when Barkley was not always on the straight and narrow. Remember when LeBron shut Chuck down and reminded him of his wild days.

Ahhhh Shaq. I'm from San Antonio and we don't have a ton of celebrities from around here but growing up I definitely knew who David Robinson was. I can't help but think that one way or another I tried to model my behavior after his. He was a strong and very gentle person and while there is no way I can be as strong as him, I try to be as gentle. Shaq made an awesome and very obvious point at the end, children look up to these men whether they want to believe that or not. I'm glad to hear Shaq looked up to David Robinson. Ja should face a harsh consequences but that doesn't mean he is beyond redemption. People want him back out there and they want to see him get back on the right path. I hope he gets it together and in a couple years we are talking about the comeback story that is Ja Morant's.
