Ja Morant needs to be non-metaphorically dealt with. By the NBA, by law enforcement, by himself. NOW.

And we have ESPN to thank for the whole shitfest.

The one year Morant was in college, he was the centerpiece -- if not the entire extent -- of the college basketball coverage on the Worldwide Leader.

And the story now appears to be that Morant is completely out of control, as at least FIVE different incidents in the last twenty-four months have surfaced which indicate Morant is, in no way, fit to either be a professional athlete nor a productive member of society:

• May 28, 2021:  Morant and at least three Utah Jazz fans verbally got into it during a Jazz-Grizzlies playoff game.
• July 2022:  Physical violent incident/threats against a Memphis mall guard, after a situation with his mother.  Posse involved, as was the police.  Relevant parties sued Morant and his mother in January of 2023.
• July 2022:  Morant (admits) throwing a punch at a 17-year-old boy during a streetball game.  Another lawsuit filed, and also allegations Morant returned to his home...  to get his gun.  What has happened from there is the subject of a lot of "He Said, He Said".  Morant's lawyer claims the gun situation was not only investigated by law enforcement, but also by the NBA, finding nothing.
• January 29, 2023:  The NBA is compelled to investigate a confrontation between members of the Indiana Pacers and Ja Morant's posse during a Grizzlies-Pacers game.  Several member of the posse are eventually barred from attending any more games, but nothing further -- yet! -- has come from that incident, even though there was a charge that, eventually, red lasers were involved (implying either laser pointers during the game or an implication of laser-sighted guns thereafter, when another confrontation occurred).
• March 4, 2023:  Morant posts on Instagram Live him being outside a strip club, brandishing a gun, and there is some belief he is flashing gang symbols.  Police in Glendale, Colorado are investigating that one.  That was after a 113-97 loss to the Nuggets.  NBA rules prohibit the practice.

And if you listened to some of the squawkfests today, you have to start asking the very real question as to whether, instead of glorifying getting out of the gangs and ghettos, if he wants to try to bring them in to the NBA situation.

Adam Silver, BAN HIM.  Season and playoffs.  Then put out a multi-dimensional investigation on this guy and the last four years (three in the NBA, fourth in college).

There was some speculation Morant might want to be a member of the Crips.  If that's the case, what the Hell would it send, as a message, if the NBA had a card-carrying (more like gun-carrying) member of the Crips running around!!!
