Would Ja be like this if he wasn’t the hottest nikka in the hood across America

[North]

He plays blockbuster showy that illicits attention from barbershop casuals, he plays in Memphis which is a big violent rambunctious city that has a rap scene, all the nostalgic hood nikkas that were Z Bo fans probably gassed him too,


Also the fact he went from barely making it on a irrelevant college team to a all star with 2 years in the nba

He’s basically has had the perfect storm for all this to happen in hindsight

He's just an idiot with money and too much time on his hands. That's all it comes down to.

Someone like D Rose was actually from the hood in Chicago and you've never seen him on some dumb shyt like Ja.

Dame Lillard really from Brookfield and had same trajectory to the league..Dame really from the hood..Ja not..people really from it don’t want to be there

He hasn’t fully experienced the downsides of hoodnikkaness. That’s all.

Him in a cell facing serious numbers or having his closest homie plottin to blow his top off will bring out the church boy in him real quick.

He’d in a gang, they’d be extorting him lowkey, and he’d think he really has respect.

Then one day he’ll overstep, they jump him or some jealous dude will kill him.

Him getting drafted to Memphis was the WOAT destination, a city that thrives on ignorance and cartoonish caricatures of Black men.

Does ignorance exist in other NBA cities? Sure, but there's usually a counter to it ie

beautiful women and/or
climate/infrastructure(Miami/LA/Houston/Atlanta/Orlando)

world class amenities and deep intellectual rooted Black greatness(D.C/New York/Philly/Chicago)

Liberal hippie cac infested cities that you can ride a vibe in(Portland/Utah)


Memphis has none of this. And ugly ass city filled with ignorant ass nikkas and females no one ever would check for. Putting Ja in Morant was like putting a 14 year old virgin who jacks off to porn in a whorehouse and giving him unlimited credit.

Yup. Him and his fukking daddy play directly into the stereotype to which is sad.


Muthafukkas really were having dice games courtside.

People talking about ZBo, like he isn't from the actual gutta and wasn't as or more grimey in PORTLAND.

Y'all really blaming this on Memphis, TN?

 

[7th Letter Specialist]

I see what u tryna get at OP but nah. Like everyone else said, it's cats from the HOOD hood who ain't even doin this shyt. Plus, nah man he grown.

Hell, it's actually a few players who if I'm not mistaken are from places that have actual ACTIVE conflicts going on.

No excuse. Ja is an adult making millions and millions of dollars. He doesn't have to involve himself with this shyt AT ALL.

Like another poster, said, you don’t see D rose on social media trying to let everybody know he’s moves dancing and shiit. And D rose is actually really from that life.


Ja is a suburban kid who wants everyone to look at him and low-key. That’s the wrong type of energy to have in Memphis especially. The walls are always hungry and he looks like a motherfukking Mark.
