Good for Ja he really sounds sincere!!
Just keep moving forward in a positive way. Hope to see you play on Sunday. That's why I got my tickets. We all have made mistakes. I know Ja Morant will be just fine.❤
Way to man up Ja! Much love respect and well wishes
Cmon brother. This is being a man now. Stand up, be positive and deflect all negativity. You can do it man. My two young black boys love you brother.

I think everyone is getting caught up on the word "Stress". I think Ja really is dealing with anxiety and insecurity. thats why he felt like he had to put on like he was a street cat. he may seem dismissive, but i think this is really difficult for him to admin and face up to. I hope that he continues on this path. the nba is better with Ja doing his thing.
he for sure bout to dunk on somebody 😂 that’s Guaranteed lol

I miss you ja let's go let's him cook I really really miss him they way people's were talking
rapid fire questions lmaoo
He should be fine as long as he learns from his past mistakes and stop threatening teens. His crew should also learn from this. Ja is the breadwinner and they need to know that their actions will reflect negatively on him. So no going around fighting opponent teams and pointing lasers at them. I know he swears he has no drinking problem, but we have seen his ig lives. He should slow down on the drinking. He is extremely talented and an exciting player to watch. It would be a shame if he messed his health up with all that casamigo.
PRAYING FOR YOU YOUNG MAN 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 GO GRIZZLIES 🏀
All these reporters are doing is trying to bait him to say something for clickbait.... They are inserting their own comments and then asking repetitive questions
This why I respect and love this man welcome back Ja❤❤❤
Media is ruthless
He looks so pissed
Ja’s actions will speak louder than this or any interview Ja has from this day forward.
“Action speak very louder than words “
Ready to see Ja return and a healthy Grizzlies team. Watched countless ppl bash this young man. Hope he prevail

The responsibility to our young is to teach substance abuse and gun violence are a problem be an example. Take accountability don’t just say “cases are sealed I don’t have a problem”
Nothing wrong with making mistakes in life. But we don't grow if we don't take accountability. This "get the help I need" show is just something to save face. Nobody gets help after five days in a facility, if they truly need it. I'm not even saying he needs help, but we gotta quit this narrative like he is going through a mental health/addiction/stress crisis.

I’m trying to figure out what stress makes a person show off a gun on instagram. I’m all for people getting their mental health in order. I just don’t like when people use mental health as a cop out. I would’ve respected it more if he just said I made a dumb mistake and I’ll do my best to be better going forward. And to be clear, I’m not dismissing the idea that he’s got a lot of stress in his life. I just don’t buy that it caused him to brandish a gun on IG Live.

As much as people want to put a limit on mental health you can’t! People respond in so many different ways! As humans we are so flawed so we can never assume how we respond to anything really! It’s easy to say what you think you will do until you are in that situation! Trust me I had to apologize and walk back stuff for assuming I would handle things better or differently!

Well, I will say stress can cause a person to make bad decisions… going out and partying could be a way of dealing with stress….. the gun was a part of the activity or his way of handling stress.

No jewelry, no flamboyant outfit, awful responses to kindergarten questions from the media, where he can barely articulate his words with sincereness and even asked again he used the same responses they told him to say. Just hilariously/sad to see how far these people are going to make this man be someone he’s not. This man is clearly struggling in our very eyes being Ja Morant. This man is clearly 4kt Trey Ja and they needa let this man do his thing!
