What’s crazy is that he’s been in the league for years now and he’s only now starting to publicly act out like this. Don’t think he had a negative reputation around the league until this season.

Pretty sure he’s been doing it for a while and the reports were killed by the Grizzlies and the NBA.
Him doing it on social media meant they couldn’t hide the stories any longer.
Well is it really surprising if you see how his dad behaves or the way he acts, he looks more like a groupie member or clout chaser.
Everybody runs from that life but here comes Ja going towards thugwannabe, seems his crew aint helping him either but then again, you have to be real friend to call someone that has a provider role on his bullshit, easier to stroke his ego and be a yes man.

Bla bla, this doesn't change what happened this season. Talk is cheap
I was thinking about something the Memphis have a pretty good record without Morant, so is it fair to other teams to suspend him?
I'm sure going to an NBA game is an experience, but everything seems so manufactured. Music, announcer leading chants, everybody clap your hands (extremely cringe), etc. Don't Americans know how to do fandom? I can't imagine MLS games are like this.
Enjoying this is on at 8.30pm our time. I’ve been watching highlights of the playoffs every morning.
For me, his parents bear a lot of responsibility in this: from his mum calling him to help with a dispute at a mall to his dad wearing ‘redemption’ shirts after Ja came back, it’s been dysfunctional parenting 101.
We don't know what his situation is. Could just as well be that he's heavily struggling with the stress of being in the spotlight or dealing with mental health issues.
Doing this so soon after the first incident makes me think it's more about those things than it is about being a moron. I actually feel quite sorry for him as it looks like he needs some serious help for an extended period of time. Bad entourage, no counseling or guidance likely, and a quick rise to fame and superstardom in 3 years or so - recipe for disaster if you're not a mentally stable person.
Tatum putting Boston on his back right now, 10 point lead.
Tatum is insane
From the end of the 3rd quarter in game 6 till now, Tatum has been unreal.
wtf Tatum
18-point lead now, game looks close to being over. Damn it, looked like it had the making of a great ending at HT.
fecks sake, really wanted Philly to win this. Harden and Embiid have been awful.
Tatum shooting lights out but that's what for the Sixers now, 8 total points in the quarter? Embarrassing stuff.
No doubt the two finals are gonna be rigged as feck. Jokic and Butler gonna have to play insane to pull off either series, both fully capable of it though 
They went like 6 something minutes without a single point. They’re bricking everything.
Nothing new for Harden to blow up in a potential career defining game 7 against a massive favourite to be fair.
Come on, Embiid and Maxey have similar numbers except Harden has 6 assists. He keeps finding wide open players who keep bricking shots just as badly as he is.
Embiid is a fraud.
Tatum with a historic game 7.
Embiid getting destroyed already. Next few days are not going to be good for him
I am confused, got told that Embiid is monster on both sides of the court, he looks like Jokic out there on a defense with Campazo and Austin R. from last season. He is having Jokic night on a PnR, which gonna make fun interaction vs 76ers fans on twitter. Not to mention 5/18 FG, 1 assist on 4 TO, rough overall.
Any guess who is going under the bus by Embiid after the game?

Another famous 3-11 game for Harden
Let's hope Jimmy pulls off another miracle in the East.
Both conference finals are rematches of the bubble playoffs three years ago as well now.
National media blew their load so hard on Mazzulla’s supposed inexperience after games 4 and 5. You better respect that man
He plays like a coward. Had good open looks all game just to pass it up, he's afraid. So many turnovers as well.
Embiid has been awful as well.
Sure Embiid's been shit too. No need to tell me that. But you know, like I said, Harden's not know to elevate himself for a game 7 is he? It's not all on him of course, since Paul and Embiid have blown up in Game 7's next to him... but if he kind of helped Durant's all time classic performance just a bit more that the sub .300 he shot, he'd have a ring right now.
I like the guy, but this series has summed up where he is now, capable of dropping bangers... but then seemingly coasting along the next game. Dudes nuts.
People will focus on him but the MVP is out here shooting 27% FG and 0% from 3 and getting cooked on defence on damn near every possession.
Really bad time to stop flopping.
Embiid's the one trending to be fair.
Well its because all the drivel other guy got without 60mil on a court last season, looking right now, screenshots flying around on twitter. Also Harden at least was a tip of the spear for at least one win.
"He’s the only MVP in history to never advance past the 2nd round"
Hang tight, this.... can't be true? But I guess it absolutely is now that I think about it

Harden is clearly beyond his prime but got his team two wins in this series. At some point he’s gonna need his MVP to actually come through clutch. Not saying Harden wasn’t awful also.

Westbrook and Dirk.
