[Highlight] Ja wins it at the buzzer!
r/nba 9⁄11
I wanted to see the finger guns again after hitting this lmao
he picked up the phone and called game
Adam: “Who is this?”
Ja: “Turn on the TV…
pulls out finger guns
Ja: “…Pew Pew, motherfucker.”
Legit made me laugh
Just now in the TNT game recap they referred to him as “the shooter,” “the silencer,” “a sniper” and called the last play shot the “kill shot, pew pew” lmao
The Silencer is a fucking sick nickname, he should run with that
It doesn’t fit with him, he is not subtle
Feel like active shooter might be more his vibe
Ja “don’t go to school tomorrow” morant
TNT about to get suspended too
POHH LEASE PRESENCE
The shooter and a sniper are dumb as shit lol but the silencer is kinda nice
Calling ja the silencer from now on
This sub would have been in mass hysteria for the rest of the week
If there is anything I’ve learned about the sub, it’s full of a bunch of pansies
It’s Reddit. Of course there are pansies here.
They simultaneously want players to be hard and not be “soft” yet hate every single player that acts hard and calls them a poser for trying to act hard 😂
He was shooting them throughout this game.
Feel like the league just gave him a warning and he decided to go for it
The league was wrong for that. It has been a popular cele for years. But is it a problem when Ja does it (in response to someone else doing the same)? You can’t keep punishing him for something he has already been suspended for. I don’t understand the celebration police in American sports. It shouldn’t be a problem 99.99% of the time.
It’s absolutely a racist critique given cover by people pretending to care about his history. They don’t like when Bridges does it either, but can’t find an excuse to criticize it without sounding racist. With Ja, they get the perfect out.
Imagine if he acted like he shot a bazooka
Same lmao
A lot of people had their hatewatch ruined lol
The comments in some of the posts during the game were peak reddit, my god
People were acting like he brought an actual gun onto the court
“No teams would want to trade for him” fucking clowns
Like do I think he should chill out, yeah, but people flipping shit over him taking a foul and complaining when he thought he got fouled as if that doesn’t happen once a night is just hate boner shit
I feel so vindicated
Reddit loves being on its holier than thou bullshit. Nobody I know talks about any of this shit the same way in real life.
I think there’s a lot of issues where the people on reddit who care are right and the people irl who don’t care are wrong.
This definitely isn’t one of them lol
More offended than suburban mothers
As much as America celebrates their gun culture. I wonder why his appreciation of the culture is frowned on
Race, culture, demographics of reddit and their political ideology, business, and his impact on the NBA.
There are a multitude of reasons.
You know why
“American patriot” vs “🐒🐒🐒”
He’s scaring the white people!!!!
he’s black
I know why…
Would have thought Ja killed someone the way some of those dorks were talking
They getting mad at a man for having fun out there celebrating. Mikal does the same shi as Ja when he hits a 3 it’s harmless asf
I was hoping for this outcome
mfs really hate watching over finger guns lmfao
pew pew!
Big facts lol
Pew pew baby
GanG GanG!
Adam Silver just fell to his knees
He did the gun gesture after the interview. Dude is back and he gives no fucks lol
Ja Wick!
BAAAANG
#WHOOP DAT TRICK
They want him to get suspended so bad lol
This was straight out the script. Hits the finger guns n then the game winner to show he’s too big to be suspended lol
Call 12
The most predictable comment, just like Bush should have known
What a play, sick game
From gun motions to the dagger to win the game
Ja does it all
Magazine empty, had to go melee 🔪
Which is strange because I didn’t see any wave dashing
He turned off tekken
After this last patch everyone turned off Tekken
Highly entertaining, one of the games of the season.
Sure if you think carries and push offs are sick plays
Seriously that wasnt a cool play, it was kinda lame lol He shoved off so much and got a friendly bounce.
Jawhi Leonard
IS THIS THE GLOCK?
BAAANGGGG
Lmao shoot, that made me laugh!
No dont shoot. Nobody shoot
I was just saying a few days ago. Ja is quietly one of the clutchest players itl.
Yeah I remember when he hit a game winner against the Pels in New Orleans last season in his first game back from suspension.
lol if I recall correctly, Jenkins called a timeout when Ja didn’t really want to. So Ja went into the timeout like “what’s the play” and Taylor Jenkins and the rest of the grizzlies players were like “you’re getting the ball & you’re gonna score” and he’s like “well I might be able to get it to Jaren in the post” and they told him “no.”
It is a damn cheat code
This sub ain’t gonna like this
Really ruined todays agenda
Right?
This sub really had a meltdown over finger guns lmao
We know why lmao
It’s a psy-op.
Us Grizzlies fans have a tough time enjoying this sub.
People acting geniunely upset over finger guns on this subreddit is the most Reddit shit I’ve ever seen. Don’t worry no one in real life actually gives a shit.
I appreciate that. There are real problems out there and people are worried about Ja’s finger gun celebration lol
I can assure you every fan base of every somewhat relevant team hates r/nba. It’s a place for instant knee jerk reactions where opinions do a complete 180 from one day to the next.
But but the shooting motion!!!!
I just wanted one last finger guns
Everybody was watching that celebration for signs of fun
I can’t even be mad. That was a good fucking game and good fucking shot.
payback for summer league OT buzzer win
first ever victim of the swedish hammer
Yeah and it upsets the nerds on here so I can’t complain lmao.
GG heat. Y’all played well and made it fun. Grizzlies needed this win.
Honestly, losing this game doesn’t affect us much tbh. It helped us by giving y’all try to climb over GS which helps the pick we own from them. This season. We’re locked into the playin regardless.
Allow me to be mad for you then
Stiff arm deluxe
I thought it was a carry but that gets called even less than traveling
Ja (and others but I’m talking bout ja cause I obviously watch him the most), carries basically all game every game lol
Well, yes. Most players carry all the time but it becomes egregious when the dribble goes above your shoulders like it did in this play
All of the above. The bar is in the Earth’s core
That’s the patented garden step back just in the lane!
Hit the Heisman right there lmao
Jesus, not even trying to hide it. NBA is silly
Straight up shotgunned him
It seems to be the new move that’s pushing the nba rules a lot, I see more and more players abusing it
Just an ethical full arm extended push off at the end there, nothin’ to see if you’re a ref.
Great shot, but that was a terrible push off
Maybe worst push off I’ve ever seen
Still the 98 Jordan one for me
Don’t forget Wilt’s pushoff for point #62 against the Knicks, without that blatant shove he only gets 98
you ever watch any of LeBron’s 1500+ games played
FTA never gets called for this 10x a game, why should Ja
I love the FTA slander name so much man. It’s 10⁄10
Like Jokic doesn’t throw stiff arms half the time in the post
Like Reeves doesnt flop on every drive
They should both be called for it lol. I don’t care who is doing it.
And then a clear carry
Laughable miss , he put his whole body into that push
If we’re not calling THIS a push off what are we doin lol
Agreed. Seemed like a carry into a push off into a travel…. We have to start enforcing some rules right?
tODaYs pLaYerS aRe mOre SkiLLeD.
No, they get away with what used to be fouls/violations.
First time watching the national basketball league?
I’m well aware pushoffs are a problem but when a player does the full arm extension AND leans into their push the refs usually call it.
Refs were scared of getting shot if they called it
Actually comical how he not only fully extends his arm but the pushing motion was nice and long and drawn out hahaha. Looks like a cartoon animation or something
Not to mention the “dribbling” head high with hand nowhere near the top of the ball
Ja got that extendo [arm fully extended]. Lol. Wild to not call that. They will often let the forearm slide, but fully extend is crazy.
What a great game, man
r/NBA in shambles
NBA needs to showcase Ja more.
They were pushing him super hard as the New Face of the league before all the Gun stuff came out.
When Ja debuted his highlight reels literally got me back into the nba. I hadn’t been following it for a few years before. If you’d told me back the he’d be a villain in a few years I wouldn’t have believed it.
I love him tho
Ja Wick
Really thought he was gonna go SCARFACE after
Is that not a push off? Wtf?
It’s called recoil so nothing unexpected
Not in the NBA if you’re a star, honestly
Joker should have fouled out in the 4th, OT AND 2nd OT for his pushoffs etc. But they won’t call it, so you just have to out physical them and pray the ref has money on your team
📞 12
This escalated quickly.
There were multiple grizzlies doing finger guns throughout this game. It’s like they are daring the NBA to do something lol. Honestly if that is what gets them fired up let’s go. I’m tired of having no spirit.
May be all the hate we are getting is the fuel we need.
Hope our whole stadium starts doing that shit, these pearlclutching mfs can get bent
I can’t wait. It’s gonna be hilarious.
Finger gun as much as you want to my king. As long as no real pistols are involved I don’t care
He’s gonna finger bang bang you into his life.
r/nba nerds in shambles lol
This is why players flop. Ja clearly extended his arm there to push Ware off and create space
https://imgur.com/a/UyZEJWD
You’ve earned yourself a finger guns celebration young man
Enjoy each finger gun equally
Did he say “a pigeon guard me”? 🤣
Bahahahahahah. Yup.
sick shot but cmon that was such an obvious push off. fully extended his arm and everything
That and the egregious carry into the push off.
Adam silvers nba
the travel is just the cherry on top
Good shooters hit their shots
No matter how much shit y’all talk about him Call 12
Good ass game, tough to lose like that
Best game I’ve seen in a while. Herro is a monster. Mad respect.
B-but gun gestures tho
Mikal Bridges: flirting
Ja Morant: harassment
Am I trippin or was that a crazy push-off??
Taylor Rooks was doing the postgame interview so you already know Ja was going to make the shot
Plsya
When you can push off so much it’s easy
Only thing that can stop you on a push off + stepback off a drive is the refs.
Yeah that was travel tf are we even talkin about
Yeah he was able to get a bunch more space with that little shuffle back after getting stifled on the drive. NBA ain’t ever calling that tho
Carry, travel and shove off lmao
The ol’ double stepback
Stepped back on his pivot foot. 100% a travel.
Allowing anything if the play was ‘cool’ enough is so disgraceful lmao. First thing I saw was the terrible push off into an even worse travel.
A pigeon guarding me.
Okay I knew I heard him say that lmao but had to double take.
Shooters touch
Just me, or did he travel with the double step back?
Push-off, into a carry, into a travel. No call, nothing to see here…
Such a terrible shove off
Thoughts and prayers r/nba
CALL 12
this was a nice game winner but shouldn’t we consider banning him from the league? the messages a finger gun celebration could sends to the kids. idk
My five year old shot his teddy bear after seeing Ja
Temetrius Jamel Morant!
Looked like a travel actually
CALL 12!!!!!
This is so beautiful. The salt is just overflowing
The ebb and flow of Ja discourse on this sub is so wild to watch.
I for the life of me can’t understand why it’s even gotten to this point.
You would’ve thought he killed someone
Get fuck r/nba
Travel
Literally never in the NBA
What league do you think you’re watching
Guy is dumb as hell but he sure can ball
Get the fuckin gat
I thought bro was gonna murder every single person in the arena with his fingers
Let’s go fuck you losers hope you get the finger guns next you pearl clutching morons
Travel + push-off
Stay on dat side
Is TNT not to call out bad calls? So called experts saying nothing about that push off and carry on the shot.
I thought he would do a Yosemite Sam celly.
They’ll never make me hate Ja
BANG! BANG!
I was expecting him to break out a machine gun and just start blasting.
