Saving the season-long suspension for when he “Cheddar Bob’s” himself, huh?
25 games for a toy gun?! /s
Silver really was hyping this up only for it to be less than 1/3 of the season
Really wish r/NBA was back up for this. Seems really damn low Adam
Depends on what the conditions for his return are, but this seems soft for having made the NBA look like idiots.
25 games really sends a message!
Suspended?! Doug, kick him off the tour!
Oh come on. I thought it was going to be for like half the season
25 games wouldn’t overshadow the finals
this is nothing. if there truly is a code of conduct that the nba upholds, and he obviously violated it, then make an example out of him that it won’t be tolerated. do that, so more young players/stars will think twice about what they post.
Thats it? All that talk and build up. For this?
Ja is waving a gatling gun in his high rise apartment knowing he’s only gonna get 25 for what he did.
Silver made it sound like they were gonna have the Saudis take care of him. 25 games aint nothing
25 games might not be a strict enough punishment to deter other players from engaging in the same behavior
25 games without pay seems significant
Silver playing the long game.. 25 games out.. Ja won’t be able to help himself and will make another tikbookgram live with a firearm.. And get another 50 game suspension… And the cycle continues.
Too low
That’s it??!??! Was expecting minimum 40 games
He’s sorry he got suspended, not for the shenanigans.
25 games for being gangsta and keeping it real, worth it.
And he will show up to first game back dancing like he did this past year, another slap on wrist.
Damn what did that guy do to get a 25 game suspension? Just the gun video or something else?
Is the public execution after the 25 games?
Silver made it sound like they were sending Ja to coach the Taliban’s basketball team. 25 games ain’t shit. That dude is going to be swinging around an uzi by the end of the next season.
I was expecting 41 at least. 25 seems like a slap on the wrist.
What a weak suspension.
Almost as weak as the NBA sub. Missing out on nuggets winning and this suspension just to sabotage their own subreddit. Guess they’re getting what they want
The way Silver made it seem I thought it would be 35-40 games.
I wish I had this much leeway at my job.
Soft as fuck.
If this is true Silver has no credibility. If Ja does have a drinking/addiction problem the main thing he will gain from this is that he is very important to the league.
The NBA is showing them that they’re weak and any addict will take advantage of this.
Maybe 26 for the next incident
Should have been at least half the season and dispersed throughout the year, eg: dude can’t play on Sat, Mon, Wed, Fri or something like that.
Punishes him by not playing and at the same time forces him to stay with the team to provide him the structure he seems to desperately need.
He needs a handler. He’s a moron.
If Adam silver’s wife cheats on him… he’ll likely forgive her and take her back at least twice.
That’s still $7.5 million, proving that Ja is the king bag fumbler
Somewhere Ron Artest must be shaking his head in total disbelief.
Edit: I have no idea why this is downvoted. Artest was basically suspended an entire season (86 games counting post season) for participating in a brawl (note: not saying that was okay). Ja Morant has been pistol-waving America, beating up HS kids … 25 games?
Yes, Ron Artest must be shaking his head.
All that hype and anticipation for a letdown
Ja is going to celebrate his light suspension by posting some sweet, incoherent videos of him waving guns and maybe nunchucks to instagram.
I expected more
No Balls Association. 25 games is a fucking joke, and this clown will continue to do dumb shit.
Gilbert Arenas is trying to bring back David Stern from the grave rn
Silver is soft as hell
Who wants to guess that game 26 will be a primetime matchup against the Lakers or someone similar.
Freakin idiot
Lfffff peanuts what a joke
Lol, and everyone was convinced Silver would bring the hammer down on him.
Also, was there any mention of the whole laser pointer incident that probably wasn’t a laser pointer??
Never liked Morant or the grizzlies ngl, and ima throw out a hot take I doubt it’s gonna effect them that much I think Morant is overrated
Horribly weak…dude has no incentive to change anything.
David Stern would have done a whole season.
What’s the over/under of him hitting the clubs and flashing his gun before his suspension is even up?
