The NBA is not out to get Ja Morant, no matter how much he tries to make himself the victim of his own reputation.
We can’t even begin with his game-winner in Miami on Thursday night because he’s seemingly hell-bent on making every step of his comeback hell.
The same day he was warned by the NBA league office about his gun celebration, along with Golden State’s Buddy Hield, Morant unleashed the same celebration on national TV and was subsequently fined $75,000.
Think about that. The league office — Morant’s boss — conveyed to him that the celebration was unacceptable — and then he repeated it, hours later.
