Lessons get repeated until they are learned. Adam Silver, however, showed a huge bias in Ja’s favor and he suffered no stiff penalties or negative consequences. All Ja learned is he can do what he wants without painful repercussions . At this point he has essentially forced the league’s hand; and, if they don’t come down hard on him they will lose whatever credibility they have left, and that isn’t much.

I think this is a step in the right direction. Maybe if it was a 25-30 game suspension in the first place we wouldn't be here now. These guaranteed NBA contracts gives these guys a sense of entitlement and invincibility that they feel untouchable. Owners will start to put more clauses in to protect themselves moving forward.

[@crosswiz6]

Exactly! A 25-30 game suspension would've sent the proper message that this isn't a issue to be taken lightly. But instead Adam 'charmin baby soft' Silver gives him a slap on the wrist. Since Ja did it TWICE, if I was Adam silver I'd double that 30 game suspension to 60, and add an extra 22 games for the disrespect, making it a whole season 😂

[@arcadion448]

This has always been the case, Jordan had to quit basketball for 1.5 years cause of gambling.

actually the contract is void if the player fails to meet the NBA guidelines. Possession of a firearm is one of those clauses in the contract they sign. His pay should be void or replaced by a fraction.
