Charles Barkley had a message for Ja Morant — and for those defending the Grizzlies star after he appeared to flash a gun in an Instagram Live video.
“This is a journey and I recognize there is more work to do,” Morant said in his statement. “My words may not mean much right now, but I take full accountability for my actions. I’m committed to continuing to work on myself.”by the video when he saw it, adding that the league was “assuming the worst” during its investigation.
And since the second video surfaced, shows and individual television hosts have voiced various opinions about Morant, including “some idiots, some fools, some jackasses on television that really just piss me off” with their points, Barkley said. @jamesburnes8/Twitter Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant brings the ball up against the Lakers in Game 5 of the Western Conference first round.“Talking about Ja should make a stance saying he didn’t break any laws, he didn’t do anything wrong, we’re in a state where you can carry your gun — those guys are just, they’re just freaking idiots …,” Barkley said.
Morant averaged 26.2 points per game in the regular season and helped the Grizzlies clinch a playoff spot before being eliminated by the Lakers in the first round.
