- 1:01Speaker 4: Moran waving around what looked like a gun.
- 1:04Speaker 5: Just hours later, the Grizzlies issued a statement banning the
- 1:07Speaker 5: all star from all league activities. This is pretty much
- 1:12Speaker 5: an exact repeat of what happened just two months ago,
- 1:14Speaker 5: but this time Moran's one hundred and ninety four million
- 1:18Speaker 5: dollar contract could be in jeopardy.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Lord, have mercy.
- 1:23Speaker 3: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting
- 1:26Speaker 3: different results. Right now, let's keep in mind that John
- 1:28Speaker 3: Murran left the Grizzlies to seek counseling for what he
- 1:30Speaker 3: said was to learn how to handle stress better. Not
- 1:32Speaker 3: only did y'all say he was going to learn how
- 1:34Speaker 3: to handle stress better, he said he was going to
- 1:35Speaker 3: be more responsible.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Don't need for me to tell you what he said.
- 1:38Speaker 1: You can hear for yourself.
- 1:39Speaker 6: Listen, you are holding a gun and we both know
- 1:43Speaker 6: how dangerous that can be.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Who's gun were you holding?
- 1:47Speaker 6: Well, their gun wasn't my.
- 1:48Speaker 1: It's not who I am.
- 1:49Speaker 6: I don't condone and any type of violence, but I'll
- 1:53Speaker 6: take full responsibility from my actions. And now you know,
- 1:57Speaker 6: finally me having that time so you know, realize everything.
- 2:01Speaker 6: Have that time alone, I realize you know what I
- 2:04Speaker 6: have to lose.
- 2:05Speaker 3: Firsther while dropping a clue box of jener Rose. That
- 2:07Speaker 3: conversation you had with Job a couple of months ago. Listen,
- 2:10Speaker 3: I'm seeing people blaming Job's friends in particular, Brother, Davonte Pack.
- 2:14Speaker 3: I'm seeing people blame his father, Tim Morant, but the
- 2:17Speaker 3: reality is the main person to blame for all of
- 2:19Speaker 3: this is John Moran.
- 2:20Speaker 1: There's nobody more.
- 2:21Speaker 3: Responsible for the choices John Moran makes than John Moran,
- 2:24Speaker 3: because Joe, when everyone talks about.
- 2:26Speaker 1: What you have to lose, the key word in that
- 2:28Speaker 1: statement is you.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Okay, when this story is told in the future and
- 2:31Speaker 3: we talk about one of the biggest fumbles we've ever
- 2:33Speaker 3: seen in the history of life, we're not gonna say
- 2:35Speaker 3: Davante Pack fumbled the bad We're not gonna say t
- 2:38Speaker 3: Morant fumbled the opportunity. No, all the credit for that
- 2:41Speaker 3: is gonna go to you, John Moran. And I hear
- 2:43Speaker 3: y'all out there saying, why can't he own a gun
- 2:45Speaker 3: in America? What's wrong with that? Let me be the
- 2:48Speaker 3: first to tell y'all shut the f up forever. Of course,
- 2:50Speaker 3: you can own a gun in America. We two a
- 2:52Speaker 3: all day. But that's not what this is about. This
- 2:54Speaker 3: is about you needing to stop speaking from speaking about
- 2:58Speaker 3: this from your perspective, okay, because what you're not understanding
- 3:01Speaker 3: is Ja is not just an individual. He's a business
- 3:04Speaker 3: and in business there's morality clauses, and anything a company
- 3:07Speaker 3: feels is damaging to the brand is in violation of
- 3:09Speaker 3: that morality clause.
- 3:10Speaker 1: And Jaw is also the face.
- 3:12Speaker 3: Of the NBA in the NBA violation of the morality clauses,
- 3:15Speaker 3: anything that is harmful the relationships with fans, sponsors, and
- 3:19Speaker 3: broadcast partnerships. All of y'all out there saying there's nothing
- 3:22Speaker 3: wrong with job waving a gun. None of y'all are
- 3:24Speaker 3: the potential face of the NBA. Nobody is paid y'all
- 3:27Speaker 3: a five year, one hundred and ninety four million dollar deal.
- 3:29Speaker 3: None of y'all have multimillion dollar endorsement deals with Nike.
- 3:32Speaker 3: None of y'all have multimillion dollar endorsement deals.
- 3:34Speaker 1: With Power Aid.
- 3:35Speaker 3: This is about John Morant being a pitch man for
- 3:38Speaker 3: corporate entities. Okay, this is about Job Morant displaying a
- 3:41Speaker 3: pattern of behavior that is making all those multimillion dollar
- 3:44Speaker 3: corporations second guests their relationship with him right now. Okay,
- 3:48Speaker 3: the brother already lost about forty million dollars because he
- 3:50Speaker 3: didn't make the All NBA teams this season.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Because of that, he's not eligible for the Supermax contract.
- 3:55Speaker 3: If you don't think that he didn't get voted on
- 3:57Speaker 3: those teams because of his off the court behavior.
- 3:59Speaker 1: You're nuts, okay, and that's what we should be talking
- 4:01Speaker 1: about it.
- 4:02Speaker 3: I don't understand, all right, we are always in such
- 4:05Speaker 3: a rush to make excuses for poor behavior. I don't
- 4:07Speaker 3: want Job Moran to lose everything, but I'm not gonna
- 4:09Speaker 3: sit around and co sign self destructive behavior either, Okay,
- 4:12Speaker 3: because the sad part about what Joe is doing, it's
- 4:15Speaker 3: not new. I never understand why you digital dheads like
- 4:18Speaker 3: flashing weapons on social media. Okay, before social media, it
- 4:21Speaker 3: was on DVDs and then music videos. We have to
- 4:24Speaker 3: stop co signing self destructive behavior because clearly generations of
- 4:28Speaker 3: us are still.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Not learning a right.
- 4:30Speaker 3: I don't want them to lose everything, but I'm not
- 4:31Speaker 3: gonna make excuses for him. Is because one thing this
- 4:34Speaker 3: error hates is accountability, and John Morant needs to be
- 4:36Speaker 3: held accountable. Okay, if this one, if this was one incident, sure,
- 4:40Speaker 3: all right, we can make all the excuses we want.
- 4:42Speaker 3: But Job's been displaying a pattern of d head behavior
- 4:45Speaker 3: that he even acknowledges, all right. He even said he
- 4:48Speaker 3: needs to do better, and that is what boggles my
- 4:50Speaker 3: brain about this whole situation. I don't understand the why. Okay,
- 4:55Speaker 3: when you know better but choose not to do better.
- 4:57Speaker 3: What is going on in Joab Moran's head that he
- 5:00Speaker 3: he can't help himself. We've seen people fumble bags before
- 5:03Speaker 3: that there's been reasoning behind it, right, We've seen people
- 5:06Speaker 3: be emotional over losing a woman. We've seen people make
- 5:08Speaker 3: dumb decisions on drugs. We've seen them make dumb decisions
- 5:11Speaker 3: on alcohol. We've seen this type of behavior. Jobs is
- 5:14Speaker 3: playing from your favorite rappers. But even with that, as
- 5:17Speaker 3: stupid as it is, we understand because they selling against
- 5:20Speaker 3: the image, against the lifestyle. It's dumb as hell, but
- 5:22Speaker 3: it's on brand. Joh this isn't your brand. You're not
- 5:25Speaker 3: a gangster, you're not a rapper. In fact, all the
- 5:27Speaker 3: gangsters in the world, all the rappers in the world,
- 5:30Speaker 3: would trade places with you in our heartbeat. All right,
- 5:33Speaker 3: this is what I don't understand. You're trying to be
- 5:34Speaker 3: them when they would love to be you. All right,
- 5:38Speaker 3: you're making one hundreds of millions of legal dollars. Do
- 5:40Speaker 3: you think these street rappers and street n words and
- 5:43Speaker 3: gangsters are doing that? This is why I don't understand
- 5:46Speaker 3: why you're choosing to be like everybody else. Okay, anybody
- 5:48Speaker 3: can get on ig Live, throw on some NBA young
- 5:52Speaker 3: boy and flash a gun, but not everybody can do
- 5:54Speaker 3: what you do.
- 5:55Speaker 1: All right. You want to flex for real?
- 5:57Speaker 3: Go buy five hundred Ada because of land in South Carolina.
- 6:00Speaker 3: Go build affordable housing and mephis put that on Instagram Live. Okay,
- 6:03Speaker 3: when you different, you should flex different. But you out
- 6:06Speaker 3: here acting like everybody else. You out here being typical,
- 6:10Speaker 3: an average, in mediocre and stuck in the bigotry of
- 6:12Speaker 3: low expectations.
- 6:13Speaker 1: And none of us can figure out why.
- 6:15Speaker 3: If it came out today that job Iran had a
- 6:17Speaker 3: drug problem an alcohol problem, that would make all of
- 6:20Speaker 3: us feel better because now we got a reason to
- 6:22Speaker 3: the why that we can go get him some help. Okay,
- 6:25Speaker 3: he's choosing to make these poor decisions, and none of
- 6:27Speaker 3: us can understand the reasoning.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Right.
- 6:29Speaker 3: I refuse to believe that this is just who this
- 6:32Speaker 3: young man is. Okay, and Job being young is not
- 6:34Speaker 3: an excuse, you know why, because he in his field
- 6:38Speaker 3: has enough examples of people who've done it right Lebron James,
- 6:44Speaker 3: Steph Curry. All right, there's a certain level of discipline
- 6:47Speaker 3: that has that has to come with people in his position,
- 6:50Speaker 3: all right, and there's enough examples of people who've done
- 6:52Speaker 3: it right for him to learn from. And once again,
- 6:54Speaker 3: I don't want to hear about his friends. I don't
- 6:56Speaker 3: want to hear about his father. Right, there's nobody who
- 6:58Speaker 3: is ultimately responsible for Job's choices, but Job, all right,
- 7:03Speaker 3: you are John Morant, not Josh Saint Patrick Okay, not
- 7:06Speaker 3: Joah Gotti, you not even Joe Ruh Okay. Life is
- 7:09Speaker 3: a matter of choices, and every choice you make makes
- 7:12Speaker 3: you and you're about to make yourself one of the
- 7:14Speaker 3: most tragic stories in NBA history. If you don't figure
- 7:18Speaker 3: it out, please let me, mam give John Morant the
- 7:21Speaker 3: biggest he all.
- 7:22Speaker 7: He ha, he ha. You stupid motherfuck?
- 7:26Speaker 1: Are you dumb? I don't understand. Maybe the people can
- 7:28Speaker 1: help me understand.
- 7:29Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 7:30Speaker 1: I don't get it, all right, I don't get it.
