Ja Morant is in a whole lot of trouble at the moment, the fact that he was seen with a gun on social media once again bodes poorly for him. Many have tried to give him advice in the aftermath, but there are just as many trolling Morant. 

Ja Morant has made himself an easy target for ridicule with his antics, and fans haven’t been holding back with the things they’ve been saying. One of the more wholesome meme trends has been references to Samuel L. Jackson’s legendary ‘Coach Carter’ with fans joking about how only he can save Ja.

Despite being called out for his past transgressions, Ja Morant doesn’t seem to have learned anything. And an iconic line from the movie, ‘What is your deepest fear?’ was used by a fan to illustrate this. 

“What is your deepest fear young man?”

Samuel L. Jackson’s character in the movie is known for being a taskmaster that makes players do strenuous exercises if they get something wrong. And one fan tabulated how many push-ups his recent behavior would cost Ja.

Throughout this whole saga, people have questioned what Ja’s father, Tee, is doing about the entire situation. And one fan bluntly called him out in response to this meme.

And while many are starting to lose faith in Morant thanks to the way he has been behaving, one fan thinks Ja will be alright and that these are just the symptoms of his age showing.

The movie, Coach Carter, is based on the true story of Ken Carter, who suspended his undefeated high school basketball team because of poor academic results. Coach Carter highlights the fact that being good at sports isn’t enough and that players need to learn to be good, contributing members of society too. It’s not surprising that this movie is coming up in this context, and Morant could do with watching it if he hasn’t already seen it. 


Ja Morant Has Been Resoundingly Called Out By NBA Media Members And Various Other People

Some people were defending Ja after his first gun-related incident, but the response this time has been overwhelmingly against him. Stephen A. Smith warned Morant that continuing like this could cost him his life. He wasn’t the only one to go off, with Kwame Brown calling Ja the dumbest player in the NBA. 

Stephen Jackson called Morant’s parents out, and many others questioned his behavior as well as his intelligence for getting into this situation again. Ja Morant can expect a big punishment from the NBA, but hopefully, this time he will learn from the whole situation.
