Doug Gottlieb: āWhat is the dumbest thing youāve ever seen anyone do? I think Ja Morant is in any discussion. I donāt want to be prone to hyperbole because thereās been lots of dumb things done, but when you get suspended by the NBA for flashing a gun at a club in Denver, which causes an entire national conversation, and then after going through some form of ācounselingā you return to the NBA and wanna be promoted as a āchanged manā, then to an IG video where youāre flashing a gun⦠Are you an idiot? Youāre not the āidiotā where you canāt put a sentence together, youāre not the idiot that you just donāt have the ability for cognitive thoughtā thatās not Ja. Ja appears to be a really bright guy. Heās fooled a lot of people for a long time. Either heās trying to fool people with this gangster persona or heās fooled people with the āIām a good guyā persona. Whatever heās trying to do heās fooled a lot of people, itās basically two lives. It takes a special kind of con man. Doing a dumb thing on Instagram after doing a really dumb thing on Instagram strikes me as especially dumb. I donāt even have words⦠HOW? WHY? WHAT? Whatās the win in flashing the gun? āIāM STILL STRAPPED!ā āIāM STILL DUMB!ā Congrats? I bought it [his original apology]. He had lost himself, he was feeling himself, weāve all had a āfeeling ourselvesā moment. The acting like youāre a thug, and acting like youāre a tough guy ā all of us went through some moment in our lives, and this is very much a guy thing, where you tried to be something that you werenāt⦠But usually getting suspended in the NBA, getting told youāre acting like an āidiotā, or pretending to live a life that doesnāt exactly have a long life expectancy⦠In the āDumbest Things Youāve Ever Seen Athletes Doā, thatās an all-timer⦠I can understand torpedoing yourself doing something but this is not the first time for him. He just did this, and this just happened a couple months ago.ā (Full Segment Above)
