Patrick Beverley Gives Unexpected Reason for Ja Morant’s Gun Incident
Many different players and analysts have had their takes on Ja Morant's recent behavior and gun incident. Patrick Beverley's most recent one probably takes the cake for the most unexpected.
Beverley was asked on an episode of Barstool Rundown what he thought was the reason for Morant's behavior, and his response - bad parenting and music.
“Lost his mind …. Parenting, parenting,” Beverley said. “I think music has a lot to do with this now. You know, especially with this culture. Everyone holding a gun in the video is okay. You know, bling on your teeth is okay. Pants half down your ass, that’s okay. So, that’s like okay now. Back in the day there was a motherf*cker on the beach in a silk shirt talking about some ‘Yeah, baby, let’s party like we’re in the 80s.’ Everybody had on sick shirts and everybody was dressed the same. It’s just a product of what we listen to. The culture now is ‘shoot them up, bang, bang, shoot them up, bend you over, I got this amount of money, I’m on private jets, that that that.’ That’s what the younger generation is. Sadly to say it shouldn’t be based on our music, but it is mostly based on what we listen to and that’s how it is."
It's not exactly an interesting take by Patrick Beverley. Even though there definitely is some degree of truth to it, the culture now has been "shoot them up, bang, bang, shoot them up, bend you over" for years. That's never changed over the past two decades, and Ja's case shouldn't be summed up by something that simple.
