[Ja Morant] after sharing words with a heckling Wizards fan: “They be on my dick more than my bitch”
Maybe I’m becoming an oldhead but referring to your partner as your bitch will always be lame and a reflection of bad character
Ja Morant? A bad character?
No way
This changes everything
Bro is a bad hombre
I think all rational people would agree with you
The only b word I’ll call my bitch is beautiful.
I just said this to my bitch and she laughed.
Yes, sometimes my lyrics are sexist. But you lovely bitches and hoes should know I’m trying to correct this.
Did Steve tell you that, perchance?
I can’t believe this song is now 20 years old.
Lookin’ round the room, I can tell that you, are the most beautiful girl in the…
Room.
It’s gross as hell and I can’t believe anyone gets away with it in 2025 tbh
That phrasing is common in some circles. Still wrong. And the year is irrelevant to people committed to being ignorant
What circles? Be specific
I phrased it that way purposefully to avoid controversy. I grew up in NYC in the 90s and 2000s and let’s just say many of my peers spoke that way
And massive amounts of people still do wtf lol. The people on this subreddit must all be private school west coast kids
Or just not trash lol
Pretty sure Ja is a suburb private school kid
Nobody is surprised that lots of people are assholes. There’s just always people that think because it’s common means they’re not assholes.
You know… wealthy athletes
Hoodlums
If you regularly hear people talk like that you’re probably in the wrong circles.
🗣️🗣️YOUR NETWORK IS YOUR NETWORTH 🔥🔥🗣️
I worked for years in criminal law. Had to hear it constantly
Man, I hate people talking like that. Have some dignity and respect for others.
“Gets away”? Straight to jail, huh?
Meanwhile, Klay Thompson will call you out and say he is disappointed in you if you called his lady that or any other disparaging remarks
Klay is just classy like that
50% classy last I checked
Classy Klay avoided sharing germs and opted not to shake any hands of Cavs players after they lost in 2016
Cmon man street talk
Ja wanna be from the hood
This guy’s a gangster? His real name is Clarence.
And Clarence lives at home with both parents And Clarence’ parents have a real good marriage
Didn’t he go to a white flight prep school
Well if you have any ball skills you eventually go to a white prep school even if you grew up in the worst neighbourhood in the country.
Ja didn’t even go to a prep school. People just don’t understand 8 mile references and now unironically think he went to private school
His actual school was incredibly poor
he went to crestwood in sumter like 20 min away from where I live. it’s a public school in dazell.. (if it’s listed as private I promise it’s not the private school you’re thinking of) it’s not a wealthy place at all. the whole narrative he grew up rich or like dirt broke is weird. dude was like low low middle class i’d guess.
I don’t know but he grew up with his dad. No way he grew up in the streets.
I’m black and he seems more like a pretender imo. He’s the black version of Malibu’s Most Wanted.
He acts like a lot of the dumbest kids in suburbia. They gravitate towards being hoodlums because it’s like the “punk” rebellion against getting good grades and being a good person. White or black, dumb suburban kids all act like hoodlums
Thought the same thing. Imagine being someone’s partner and this is how they mention you when you’re not there.
In front of 18000 strangers as well
This is more of a younger person take tbh. I’m actually an old head (44) and us women have seen and experienced things in our life that thankfully a lot of younger men don’t do/say anymore.
Which is why it’s even worse coming from Ja.
I’m actually an old head (44)
When did the definition of old head become just a few years older than what I am? Fuck.
40s has always been old head tho
No it’s always been [my age] + [a number big enough for me not to have to worry about being an old head]
I don’t even think it has anything to do with being an old head. I know a lot of dudes in relationships across various age groups from 19 to 80 and none of them refer to their partner as “bitch”.
Lol do you see who the President is?
Most of these dudes don’t see the woman they are with as their partner.
Ja and many others just see them as an accessory. That’s the issue.
Another reason why dudes like Lebron standout.
Family man since he entered the league, all the way through, never faltered.
It’s wild that it’s a rarity. But it is.
Nah not an oldhead thing, Ja is certified cringe. Definition of fake tough.
Some female friends and of mine would get these boyfriends who would use that word….
I always would look at them like “come on… 🙄”
Oh hey they turned out to be assholes every time, how could we possibly have known?!?!!!!
Like not even in a joking way. Just straight up referring to her as his bitch is crazy lmao
this is such a reddit comment like no shit
This sub is hilarious at times, we got people talking about “thug culture” here too lmfaooo
This entire comment thread shows how suburban/yt Reddit is lol
It’s pretty common to hear this used in inner cities, but yall wouldn’t know about that
Remember when people thought he was gonna be one of the faces of the league lmao
Yes 😭 I remember the Powerade deal
powder gauge
Gunpowder keg.
PowerThirst had a Gun flavor.
Maybe there’s a great sponsor deal there
When God gives you lemons you FIND A NEW GOD!!!!
Strawberry? How about RAW BERRY
I mean Ant would say some shit like this and is incredibly popular. Ja just isn’t the player he was first and foremost.
Flirting vs Harassment.
6’5 vs 6’2
Good at basketball vs Amazing at basketball
Top 50 in the world is still pretty fucking amazing lol
If they watched Ja they’d know the dudes still insane but watching basketball is not what we do here
He’s still good but he clearly lost a step and is less improtant in the offense
Uhhh…HR?!
Nah, context is important. Can’t go around acting violent and unhinged, then talk shit and be called a good sport.
Ant is generally respectful, and his trash talk is provocative and crosses some lines… but, it’s funny.
Didn’t Ant pressure one of his multiple girlfriends into getting an abortion? That doesn’t sound like respect to me
Ant may force his girl to get an abortion but did you consider he respects the game of basketball?
Ahh yeah the dichotomy of not respecting women but respecting basketball
kobe style
Well, not on the basketball court.
That you know of …
I just had a mental image of him getting his pregnant gf out on the court and being like “alright, lets play 1s. If you win we getting married, but if I win…”
send da video
Also publicly made fun of gay people
Nephews here be having short term memory issues
Unfortunately most basketball fans don’t give a shit about off-court antics, unless a player outright commits murder
Yeah let’s not act like Ant is a saint here
Respectful unless you are gay
thats like 90% of the league
I think it’s worth noting that Ant apologized multiple times with a lot more substantive words than you get from most any other player or celebrity. By no means does anyone owe him forgiveness but I think Ant does have an air sincerity that you don’t see from Ja.
LMAO RESPECTFUL?!?! Yeah tell that to one of his girls lmao
Ah yeah its crazy to try and be the face of the league while being openly homophobic and a terrible sport in game. Its crazy that Ja would do stuff like that….oh wait.
Ant wins games. Ja doesn’t anymore. Pretty much all it comes down to at this point
That’s the true answer.
He posted a video of him referring to gay men as “queers” to his instagram story
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/dPVY3pIKnr
Fr I’ll never fuck w Ant after that. He seems like the type of guy that loves to punch down
Exactly, you like ant so if he says it its funny, you don’t like ja so when he says it its disrespectful. Its about who says it not what was said.
Ant has incredible PR cause he’s an absolute piece of shit human being
Send da video
Ant has charisma, Ja doesn’t and he also sucks right now.
*EDIT* I don’t know what people think they’re downvoting. Ant’s questionable behavior gets overlooked by fans because he’s an amazing player plus he’s charismatic. Exactly what part of that statement is debatable?
If Ja & the Grizzlies kept on their trajectory of 3 years ago, people would be excusing the guns and other stupid stuff too.
This is so true. I don’t know about Ant personally, but a lot of fans would be surprised to know how their favorite star actually is. They think Ja is some kind of exception…
The league really wanted an American as the face of the league. Zion was always injured and Tatum didn’t have enough aura, so they tried to push Morant.
I think Cooper Flagg will be the face of the league soon.
Tatum didn’t have enough aura
Crazy how Tatum gets treated for being a good guy with a regular personality
I respect him for being a team player and humble, but every face of the league has to be kind of a diva or have at least a bit of attitude. Jordan, Kobe, Shaq, Iverson, Lebron, KD, and Curry all had either flashy playstyles, or big personalities.
Tim Duncan may have been better than most of the players I listed, but he was not marketable because he played a boring style of game.
Not face of the league but it’s also like the Blake Griffen/ LMA comparisons
blake griffin like the actor?
Thought he was a comedian
Really you just need to have something interesting about you. Tatum’s a great player but there’s nothing about the way he plays that’s especially flashy, and off-the-court he’s just a vanilla normal guy. Duncan largely the same thing
Honestly, the Duncan comp makes sense. He really was under appreciated by the masses. People didn’t want to watch him. Even when Manu was doing crazy shit on the court people would call the Spurs boring because of Duncan.
People come up with dumb terms like “street cred” or “aura”, but it boils down to people finding players compelling.
It can’t be regular to be that corny lol
Do you not remember the moments and days following Boston winning the chip? He was like a wind up doll of other people’s quotes and poses. I had second hand embarrassment just watching.
Anything is possibleeeeeeee
He’s too boring, and he’s mostly known personality wise for imitating other greats.
That’s just not going to work as far as off the cour goes at the elite level. You can be as great as anyone as far as actual basketball but nah. The personality test is different
Jaylen Brown antics are more fun lol
Tatum gets treated that way because he’s corny and I guess that’s more important than the quality of his character for marketability.
I mean how many shoe deals did Mother Teresa get?
He’s been media trained since a child so he doesnt have any edge that people can latch onto. From a front office perspective hes like the perfect player but fans dont just want good play oddly enough. They want a narrative and a personality.
Tatum is far more popular than this sub gives him credit for.
He’s been a mainstay Top 5 jersey seller for years, sponsors as many national brands as anyone these days, has his own shoe, and keeps getting voted in as an all Star starter.
He’s been one of the faces of the league for years now. There is no such thing as “a face”.
The league could not care less if the face of the league is American or not.
They do care because American fans like following narratives of homegrown stars as they navigate through HS, college, and enter the NBA. This is the reason why Zion received so much hype and had people like Obama going to Duke games in 2019.
Or, just maybe, Zion’s hype was because he was really fucking good back then?
😂😂, def wasn’t cus he averaged 23 ppg on 70 TS as a freshman man!!
Bizarrely overblown narrative considering Lamelos had extremely high jersey sales for years, has an uniquely accessible play-style, all on top of having a huge, but still way cleaner personality than Ja, yet isn’t getting some huge push from the league
Several people have responded with the same thing because they haven’t followed the league long enough to know young Kyrie had significantly more presence than Jokic even after his first 2 MVPs
If he were literate enough to do ad reads they’d push him more
god damn
From the top rope, wow
Kinda hard to push a 0 time all nba player that plays for the hornets. 1 time all star and also an idiot. Zero defense and quite inefficient. He’s not on the level of Tatum or even Ja when they were trying to push him. Pretty terrible argument to dispute the overblown narrative.
It’s not crazy to think this when they were pushing guys like Tatum and Ja despite Giannis, Embiid, Jokic, and Doncic being the best players in league. Why would they push inferior players? What do Ja and Tatum have in common and what do those other 4 have in common?
The evidence strongly suggests this narrative is true.
Exactly. That’s why when the best players in the league were Giannis, Jokic, Embiid, and Doncic, they were still clinging to Curry and then trying to push Tatum and Ja. They definitely don’t have a problem with a non American being the face of the league. It’s just a coincidence they ignore all the best players in the league and they happen to not be American.
Wemby is a top 5 player, Plays both sides of the ball, Talks shit, Has Aura, Is on a good team and is Family Friendly. No idea what the obsession with an American is there are enough candidates right there in top 5.
The league has had lebron, kd, Steph… and now Ant, Hali, and even Booker for minute when they were competitive. There are plenty. And the league wants to be international, so it doesn’t even matter
He kinda of still is he has the hottest selling sneaker currently by a wide margin and all publicity is good publicity And he has the youth.
I had to google his sneaker. They do look nice and comfy.
I still fucking love Ja Morant. Like him even more than people on this subreddit hate him. He’s a great character in an increasingly sterile league.
ja morant bravely goes public about his dead bedroom
NBA star laments the cost of living on the road away from beloved wife.
NBA star
Whoa whoa it’s 2025 let’s not make things up now
That’s just the normal label for any famous NBA player for the general public
the wizards bed however been jumpin 2 games in a row
This guy is so easy to root against
Man he got hurt against us a few years back and I was bummed because at the time he was fun to watch. Then, everything started to drop and I was like damn cant believe i was bothered.
God this guy is so unlikable
Ja is doing a shitty cosplay of a gangster.
Not even a gangster. He is cosplaying that dude who grew up in the hood but was too goofy to really bang.
I find it weird how many people on here are hung up on how he’s a wannabe gangster (as if him lacking the cred to back it up is what’s important) rather than him just being a fucking moron.
Like it matters 0% if his behavior is based on real or fake toughness. People like this, real or fake, don’t come out ahead in the end
He’s just absolutely desperate to be seen as hard, or whatever word we use to mean that nowadays. Dude could have been one of the faces of this generation’s NBA, but ruined it by trying to be something he’s not.
this guy loves promoting thug culture even tho he grew up the opposite way, absolute horrendous person
I heard his real name was Clarence.
I heard he went to Cranbrook.
And Clarence’s parents have a real nice marriage
Thug culture lmfao
You know exactly what he means and he’s clearly correct.
This sub promotes Reddit culture
Bro I hate reddit culture dawg, it be on my dick more than my bitch
They’re too stupid to recognize their prejudice that’s the saddest part
I am perplexed why people are hung up on this. Would his behavior be less moronic or off putting if he had a different upbringing?
Temetrius needs to calm down.
Temetrius needs advice from his parents since had a real good marriage.
DK Metcalf considers this a hate crime
Not as funny as that fan calling Draymond “Angel Reese” because he had lots of rebounds without attempting a field goal.
Imagine getting mad about getting heckled by Wizards fans
Frankly, I would’ve just been waving a broom at him since the Wizards swept the season series.
The fanbase is extremely demoralized right now and even with the \(16/\)65 ticket promo the attendance isnt great.
I really wonder how “his bitch” is doing if a Wizard fan is managing to give him more attention.
Hoping Tre and Sarr pan out well for yall, DC deserves a good team
I feel like our two fanbases know the struggle. I’m still mad we didn’t draft Derik Queen. I hope you enjoy watching him.
I would really really love the NBA to play 3-4 games with european crowds and chants so they stop crying about a Karen white guy saying you can’t handle the fans or a fan calling them Westbrick
Westbrick is such a good taunt, I still say it whenever I see him.
It makes it 1000x funnier that he actually hates that shit to the point of throwing people who actually paid for a seat out, 10⁄10 insecurity it hits deep
Cause getting bananas thrown at them would be so much better
Yeah I imagine being called slurs would help put things into perspective for them
God I fucking hate elitist euro sports fans
Literally European crowds where they make monkey noises at black players and throw banana peels at them ?
I’m of two minds for it where yeah they are too sensitive to most dumb comments crowds make but also European crowds can be racist as fucking hell and shouldn’t be a standard. If it was just sick chants and insults sure but there is, so, much, racism and the elitism for their crowds loves to conveniently ignore that.
Main sub comments completely outjerking r/nbacirclejerk holy cracker party
Some dude is talking about “thug culture” lmfao
If you’re antagonizing Wizards fans it’s probably something you did wrong
Babe wake up new Ja Morant hate post just dropped
Same OP from the other post on the frontpage: https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1pyuokg/ja_morants_dad_has_words_with_a_wizards_fan_who/
I do not like this man
Ja is a fucking shithead but some of these borderline racist ass takes are horrible too.
It’s never overt neither. Always some down low shit. “Thug” “gonna end up in prison”. Then you got the most unfunny people alive with the “clarence” shit
Just an excuse to let the true feelings out
Ja is a dick but this thread is borderline racist lmfao. all he said was “get off my dick” essentially and everyone in this thread is acting like he threatened a kid with cancer.
Man I thought it was just funny as hell. Looking at all these people got me so confused lmao
ITT: corny man children getting mad at a corny man child for being “corny”
Embarrassing display of who populates this subreddit lmfao
whitest thread ive seen in a while lmao
“This guy’s a gangster? His real name is Temetrius” 🤓
100% white and 35+ years old.
I don’t even like Ja for all the obvious reasons but it’s hilarious that any thread revolving around him this sub just goes full mask off lol
Calling him a thug for saying my bitch has gotta be a top 10 racist highlight for this sub honestly
Funny how this sub is, stands against racism, homophobia, feminism , genocides and generally inhumane stuff (which is good obviously) etc. but when it comes to certain players in this league everybody turns racist and gets real nasty.
All yall are for mental health and against nasty social media comments but now yall other side comes out.
Classic Reddit comment section 😂😂😂
It’s always so predictable
dude is so corny. Giving Clarence from 8 Mile lmfaooo
ITT: the most annoying nerds known to man
The Ja derangement syndrome in r/nba is truly something to behold.
What happened to players having fun against taunters and using them as motivation
Dwyane Wade vs Purple Shirt guy (court side hornets fan) is an all time moment for me
Imagine if Wade was like these guys today and had security toss him
We’d all be robbed of that amazing moment
D Wade vs. the Hornets fan was cinema
I love hating idiots like him and his father
One of those “class clown gangster” losers schools that constantly make jokes at everyone else’s expanse but can’t handle one tiny bit if he becomes the subject of a joke haha.
What did his dad do
So corny. Such a fake tough guy line
I don’t like Morant, but do you really think everything said is friendly by the court. If fans can heckle and curse you, then players have the best right to say anything they want back
Not calling my girl bitch but it’s a common phrase
Dude talks like an actual child
Like calling a woman his bitch makes him feel hard and special 🤡🤣
Damn this comment section has a bit too much of them southern good manners if you know what I mean
I think Ja is just quoting Aristotle here, I don’t see the big deal
What a class act.
This feels like it could be an insult to the fan or Ja just airing out his struggles.
People deadass lame in this sub all he did was talk like any avg person fron the hood and you all in shambles lmaoo. Im not saying he from the hood or grew up that way idk, but to really be upset over this is mad weird. I keep forgetting bunch of old people on here too tho yah have to relax 😂
