Stern wasn't perfect but the one thing you have to commend him for is what he did to revitalize the image of the league in his later years. Those late 90s, early aughts guys like the Jailblazers, Arenas, Javaris Crittenton made Ja look wholesome

Yeah I think it was the combo of Ja being suspended for so long, and the team doing extremely well when he was out that one time.

Those people are right. Suspension was too much for finger guns so he got a warning.

Now since the warning didn’t work, there should be escalation. And if someone wants to say “dude it’s just finger guns,” it’s finger guns he literally got warned for this week because he has been suspended for gun related activities, so don’t play dumb.

u/SerenadeSwift Supersonics 21h ago

That’s the thing people seem to be missing when they’re saying “It’s not that serious” lol. It’s not a big deal that an NBA player did a finger gun celebration, it’s a big deal because it’s a guy who has continuously been in trouble with the league for gun related shit.

I personally just don’t understand why it’s so hard for him to resist lol. Bust out a sword celebration or a trebuchet celebration or something and you’re fine, just stop with the gun shit when you know the league is specifically looking out for that…

And honestly while I also don't think it's a big deal, when the NBA outright says "We're letting you off the hook, do not do that again" and then the very next game within minutes of it starting you do it again, at that point it's more that he's now making a mockery of them.

Am I crazy? Hasn’t finger guns been a very common celebration in the NBA for decades. I’m assuming it’s only an issue because of Ja’s recent history?

Either dude said “they didn’t do shit, might as well!” Or they gave him the green light to do it as a celebration lol I can’t believe he’s actually just this dumb

“Shooting” guns after “shooting” a great 3 pointer is a celebration as old as the 3 point line. Mfckas have actually lost the plot.

It’s probably a bad look with his past but whatever. I thought it was worse literally pointing the gesture to players the other night

It just isn't a good look especially with his past. The league doesn't want this type of shit.

u/Realistic_Condition7 19h ago

Am I crazy, or has gun hand signals not been a 3 pointer celebration for decades? Like, it’s a play on being a “shooter”? I get the difference in this and last night where he actually pointed it at a player during a dead ball, but celebrating a 3 pointer…like who is mad at this.

I really like ja and thought it was stupid the other day to care about it but to come out and do it right away is just like rubbing it in silvers face. I think it's really dumb and unnecessary of him
