White ppl have gotten on my last nerve with this garbage! No one cries about the white dudes obsessed with guns and violence.

A couple of thoughts… I am cool with it. I actually prefer it more than macho flexing.
1. It is good old American culture and a little fun. Every other channel has real guns on TV.
2. Soon you won’t be able to point at a guy… let that sink in.

Heβs the type of the friend that gets you kicked out of everywhere and never listens or learns. Heβs a lost cause.

Kids look up to this clown

It’s way more than just pointing the finger at Ja. Or anyone who does it. Everyone brags after hitting a three. They don’t brag when they miss a three. G*n jesters are seen by kids too.. Just play basketball and stop showboating

I think Ja must not do these gestures in the public or while playing.

How many times is going to do this stuff before he finally gets it if he doesn’t stop he is going to cross the line it’s going to cost him the team and his family

Ja not watching. He can do it as much as he wants if heβs okay with being fined. Heβs got the money. NBA is soft as charmin. No one likes this new nba BS
