Kyrie Irving Defends Ja Morant After Gun Video Suspension

Kyrie Irving believes Ja Morant was judged too harshly

If there's one player who is open to multiple perspectives, it's Kyrie Irving. While many analysts were ready to immediately attack Ja Morant after his recent incidents, Kyrie Irving did not want to judge him too harshly.

After the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Dallas Mavericks, Kyrie Irving was asked by the media what his thoughts were about Ja Morant's suspension and recent gun incidents.

"When you're dealing with particular hardships in the public eye, especially with the media being attracted to just keeping up with what we're doing, or what's the next kind of grab or story," Irving said.

One thing Irving really wanted to note was that he felt Ja Morant had an overload of judgment, and was being too scrutinized for his actions.

"I don't want to assume anything by every media member, but that's just the way it seems for me and my perspective, which is there was an overload of judgment on Ja," Irving said. "There was an overload of judgment on what I had going on, and there's usually an overload of judgment from the public court of opinion."

With the way things stand, both the Memphis Grizzlies and NBA are in the process of welcoming back Ja Morant. However, if there's another incident after this one, that'll truly change the way his image is viewed across the world. Hopefully, that doesn't happen again.
