Thinking Ja Morant can’t be tough because he isn’t from the projects is the biggest issue I’m seeing rn

[Cat piss martini]

We used to rob and pistol whip
nikkas like him.
Not because they were soft.
We did it because they were lucky
enough to live like the cosbys but
had this morbid romanticism with
the danger we lived with daily.
nikkas from ladue would dead
ass swoop in infinitys and post
up like they were in a music video.
Dude is the dumbest nikka in captivity.
fukk the hood......build for your bloodline.

Ja Morant's teammate Steven Adams is the toughest dude in the NBA, and he's as humble as can be. One of the most sportsmanlike players you'll ever see. He's feared and respected in the league



He even called out Ja Morant in a respectful way and is holding his friend and teammate accountable

 

[King Poetic]

Dude grew up a good kid with both his parents and wasn’t getting into no trouble..

Him just like many other nikkas out here mentals are fukked up when u reach a certain aspect in life and now u want to be Tariq St Patrick and Big Meech …

It’s like these celebrities Chris brown, lil Wayne after getting successful and now u want to be a blood..

Seems like people in here are backtracking on the dominant narrative for the last couple weeks.
Shannon literally said he not tough and trying to be something he's not. A lot of people bought up how he had both parents and lived in a house with a court in the backyard, etc. The focus was definitely whether or not he was actually tough

Problem is people think toughness only fits a certain archetype, white supremacy is to blame for that but that's another conversation
All evidence up to this point suggests that Ja was more than willing to pull up with armed men ready for whatever

Getting into the NBA is tough. Becoming one of the best players among the best is even tougher. Dude already won. He has no reason to engage in any of these shenanigans and its a shame that we are so tied into gangster culture that he ft he needed to prove himself.

too many people talking bad about Ja trying to be this and that. The even bigger issue is black people assuming any black Person not from extreme violence or poverty is being a “wanna be thug “ just because he isn’t soft.

It’s not even about that.

Ja has zero documented history as some tough guy. He’s doing cosplay at this point when the focus should be on the game that he’s paid to play. No one in their right mind see Ja and is like “OMG this man means business. Look at those guns and intent”.

Nah. People see him for the bytch he is.

Op, shut up

That’s not tough tho. He’s moving like a crash dummy. I’m from sc as well…. One of the most crime riddled counties. Cats like him seem to be them overcompensating type… I’ve known a few. He’s not Carlton, no but he’s not a hitter either

That's what I figured too. I was stationed at Shaw so Dalzell isn't that far. It is rough down there in some parts. But like you said alot of people do try to overcompensate how tough they are especially if they come from a smaller city or town.

Op, shut up

You heard him @BrothaZay

 

[boriquaking]

I’m sure plenty of NBA players still deal with dirt, but no one here is wise to that shyt.

Don’t be an aaron hernandez.

 

[OperationNumbNutts]

Folks really need to drop this hard or being though crap. There are plenty of people either in prison or dead cause they played a role when they could have done something else.

The word you’re looking for is stupid, not tough. Doesn’t matter where you came from. Where tf you at rn

'Tough' is a derogatory term denoting a weakling who craves strength and power but is really just faking it..
"So you a real tough guy huh"..

Yes..stupid was a far better term.
