Ja Morant’s recent suspensions for flashing a gun on Instagram Live have raised concerns about his ability to learn from his mistakes. However, a new report suggests that the Memphis Grizzlies guard may not be grasping the appropriate lessons from his punishments.
During an appearance on the “Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective” podcast, ESPN’s Tim MacMahon shared insights he had gathered. According to MacMahon, there is a belief among Morant and some individuals close to him, including former associates, that the NBA and the media are conspiring against them.
If these claims are true, it indicates a troubling lack of accountability from Morant and those within his circle. While it is undeniable that Morant was the one brandishing the gun in a car, even after facing prior consequences, this perception of being targeted is concerning.
Although Morant did issue an apology following his 25-game suspension, previous apologies he made did not convey a sense of sincerity. Moreover, numerous reports have surfaced, detailing additional instances of concerning behavior involving Morant and his entourage, including one incident that occurred after an NBA game.
If Morant fails to acknowledge his actions and take responsibility, it raises doubts about his willingness to make meaningful changes following this latest incident. Perhaps the claim that the league and media are conspiring against him is not as far-fetched as it initially seemed.
