Is Ja Morant a Crip? Skip Bayless has opened up on some wild rumours about the NBA star.
Ja Morant is one of the best young players in the NBA. The star guard who plays for the Memphis Grizzlies has made a reputation for himself to be one of the brightest young stars in the league, and is known for his incredible dunking ability that sets him apart from his peers. His ability and influence has helped him secure endorsement deals with big brands.
However, despite his promise on the court and his ever-growing reputation as one of the young faces of the NBA, Morant’s career has been dealt with a major blow after a few allegations about him recently saw the light of day. The Grizzlies star was seen waving a handgun on his Instagram while in a nightclub recently, which led to him being punished by his franchise.
The Grizzlies have suspended Morant for at least two games as the NBA investigates the video shared on the point guard’s Instagram live, where he flashed what appeared to be a gun at a nightclub. All of this has resulted in many unverified reports going around about Morant, one of them includes him being a “Crip” – which NBA analyst Skip Bayless addressed recently.
The NBA analyst opened up on rumours regarding Morant being a “Crip.”
Speaking on the Undisputed show with Shannon Sharpe, Bayless delved deep into Morant’s behaviour which has got plenty of criticism. While people have speculated about Morant possibly even being a gang member, Bayless said that he has seen Morant throw up the gang signs of the “Crip” hang before.
For those who don’t know, the “Crips” are a gang in the United States of America who are well known for their long standing rivalry with another gang known as the “Bloods.” Bayless asked: “What does that mean? Does that mean he wants to associate with the Crips? Or he has a dream of being a Crip? I don’t know.”
