Ja Morant shows how a 'good guy with a gun' can never be Black

Ja Morant, the 23-year-old star point guard for the Memphis Grizzlies, was barely 1 year old.

Key Points: 
  • Ja Morant, the 23-year-old star point guard for the Memphis Grizzlies, was barely 1 year old.
  • But his bursting athletic brilliance, so evocative of Iverson, comes with a cost: the perceived menace of the Black gangster.
  • On March 4, 2023, Morant posted an Instagram Live video of him displaying a gun at a Denver strip club.
  • Even when folks who look like Morant innocuously and legally possess a gun, they find themselves too easily typecast as villains.

Disciplining ‘thugs’ and ‘children’

    • When global sports icon Michael Jordan retired from basketball in 2003, the league found itself in a period of transition.
    • How would it continue to fill arenas, satisfy advertisers and spread its vision of a global game without its brightest star?
    • Not only did the NBA need a new crop of superstars to mitigate Jordan’s exit, but it also needed a fresh attitude.
    • Players openly professed their love for rap music, with stars like Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Iverson and others recording and releasing music.
    • “This guy is so worried about being cool: ‘Look at me, man: Life is like a rap video.’”

The NBA’s gun culture

    • In 2006, Stephen Jackson was suspended just seven games for firing a gun after an altercation at an Indianapolis strip club.
    • In 2010, Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton were suspended for 50 and 38 games, respectively, after pulling guns on each other in the Washington Wizards team facilities.
    • And in 2014, Raymond Felton was suspended four games after pleading guilty to charges stemming from an incident where he threatened his estranged wife with a gun.
    • In 2018, during a trip to Israel, Golden State Warriors star forward Draymond Green posed with an assault weapon.

Was this ever about guns?

    • To me, the answer is simple: In America, armed Black folks conjures pathological criminality.
    • So if people are so sure of Morant’s villainy, I ask without a hint of snark: What does responsible Black gun ownership look like?
    • To me, this was never about guns – just as, back in the early 2000s, it was never about rap music or baggy clothing.
    • According to this warped, uniquely American fantasy, “good guys with guns” can never look like Ja Morant – and good guys can always kill bad guys.
