"Ja is PG-13 Antonio Brown" - Fans worry Ja Morant is turning into notorious NFL star
Ja Morant is one of the NBA's most talented young superstars and the face of the Memphis Grizzlies franchise.
However, the two-time NBA All-Star has found himself on a path that feels familiar to some NFL fans: the one walked by Antonio Brown. Morant was recently caught with a firearm on video while at a strip club.
Fans took to Reddit to share their thoughts on the Grizzlies point guard's comparison to the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star.
Warning: NSFW Language
Yet, other fans haven't quite seen the comparison between the two:
The recent gun incident is the latest in a series of controversies looming over the superstar point guard. Morant's actions were investigated after an incident in Memphis in January of this year. The incident led to Morant's friend being barred from Grizzlies home games for a year.
Antonio Brown and Ja Morant found themselves hanging out together doing a music collaboration after the gun incident.
Like Morant, the former Pittsburgh Steelers star has found himself in the headlines for various incidents. Brown was wanted by Tampa police on a battery charge stemming from a domestic incident last December. However, the former four-time All-Pro wideout also found himself on video while in Dubai.
Antonio Brown and his NSFW video footage caught in Dubai is quite different from Ja Morant's
Antonio Brown was caught on video last May shoving his bare behind into the face of a woman last May at a Dubai hotel in an outdoor swimming pool. The former NFL star then lifted his privates out of the water and exposed them to the woman. Other patrons of the hotel watched as it all took place.
The woman initially laughed off the attention she was getting from Brown, but quickly swam away. In the video, the former NFL receiver turned rapper is seemingly nude aside from the gold chains around his neck.
Sources said the woman looked visibly angered and was later spotted inside the hotel screaming and complaining to others about the incident. Per a hotel staffer who requested anonymity, Brown was asked to leave the hotel soon afterwards.
Brown's behavior is a telltale sign for Ja Morant not to go down that path as he possesses a bright future in the NBA.
