He won’t just wake up one morning and decide to not be foolish anymore, anymore than he’ll wake up and not be an alcoholic.

I just don’t agree that Ja’s actions warranted the level of suspension he got. Miles Bridges got 30 for beating the mother of his children. Ja got 5 less for… flashing guns on instagram. Ok.
Chuck hitting us with the certified intellectual classic: both sides are bad
This is if you accept the only correct framing of sides as Democrat and Republican or Conservative and Liberal.
I think Barkley would argue the real "sides" are People and Power, and he's pretty unequivocal where he comes out there.
Will AI take away Ja Morant’s job?
I always forget AI played in Memphis for one year....
ChatGPT dunk this from the free throw line.
ChatGPT has only been updated to 2021. It still think Ja is just ok.
Ps: ask “what happened in Ukraine?” And you realize that it is missing a good chunk of information. Did not help that 2022 and 2023 were two insane year where the world went from normal mode to nightmare mode.
As a large language model i can only cross you up at the 3 point line as my parameters restrict me to doing anything inside the paint.
AI was probably 10x wilder than Morant was or could ever hope to be. AI just came up before social media was a thing and everyone having cameras in their pocket.
If AI takes the gun brandishing job we’re basically at Terminators
It's really nice to have old Chuck now. He is extremely intelligent, humble, and empathetic. What a genuinely good human being.
I love chuck, but he's not that smart, and he would be the first to tell you that.
So it erases the violent piece of shit he was when he played huh?
No. But we also need to give credit to people who own their mistakes, grow as people, and become better human beings. And once they have, beating them over the head for mistakes they have outgrown seems pretty counterproductive. If we keep doing that, what incentive does anyone have to change?
People can change and learn how to grow
Ja can do it too.
It was like 30 years ago Jesus Christ
When I was a kid I wanted to be like Mike. But now as an adult, I wanna be like chuck.
It’s literally like 5 months later. Barkley gets his rocks off talking shit about players today like he wasn’t throwing accountants through windows when he played. Fucking hypocrite. But he shucks and jives now so everyone just eats it up
He's an all time great player and his career wasn't cut short by bad off the court behavior
Basketball isn't a children's game, it's a SPORT like it was made for all ages and people from all walks of life. That take fucking sucks
There are those who get infinite chances and those who get punished for every little thing. Think house m.d. or sherlock holmes, guy had so much talent people excused his addiction and assholery.
Mate the point you're trying to make is lost when you cite x2 fictional characters as evidence
Same with iron man, guys kind of a douche but hes so good at saving the world he gets a pass
Chuck dud get caught with a gun in his Philly days.
And then he never did it again. That’s what he has issues with. Ja is allowed to make mistakes, what he shouldn’t do is repeat them, over and over again.
Ja Maront is just young and dumb. I’m not sure it’s malicious. But got out of hand.
Flashing a gun on IG live multiple times isn’t just youthful ignorance cmon now lol and besides the dude is 24 not like 15
Dude is 24 and has threatened people on multiple occasions. Part of the reason why he doesn't mature is because y'all just give him every excuse in the book.
I want Barkley to run for President
But Chuck, do you even know how hard it is to not flex guns online? Homie went to rehab for that. It's some serious shit.
What does 'caught with a gun' even mean? I don't believe he was charged with anything. This is just nonsense. Also police isn't a real job either, basketball players contribute far more to society but that's a whole different discussion.
I’ll bite. How are police not a real job?
i have to ask, if being an nba player isn’t a real job how is a police officer one ?
one requires a lot more qualifications and competency than the other
They both are real jobs
I know Chuck is a reddit darling and that shit he pulled on Adam Silver was cool as fuck. And also fuck Ja's stupid shit. But a lot of this reads like boomer shit.
When Ja Mornuts dad put on the Redemption shirt, Ja was healed and absolved
Chuck is the realest
I liked what Austin Reaves said about basketball players, paraphrasing here: “we essentially play a kid’s game and get paid a lot of money”
Chuck is so good for the fans of this sport. Legend
But Ja's people said it was a toy gun
God damn, why is Charles the realest mother fucker in the world?
Y’all eat up anything chuck says
I'm not seeing why everyone is up in arms about Ja Morant.
We just want him to dribble and shoot.
Can't we all just put away our guns.
Mr. "I am not a role model" being a role model.
As a teacher, I feel seen. Thanks, Chuck
The Ja takes got out of control for a little while, but this one's right.
He's not some sort of monster. He's just a dumbass, and he needs to stop being such a dumbass.
Weird that the NRA hasn't waged a PR campaign in support of Ja's 2A rights. I wonder why not.
Why do none of the sources have video?
