BRISTOL, CT—Launching into a lengthy rant about the suspended Memphis Grizzlies point guard during an episode ofThursday evening, ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith blasted Ja Morant for poor gun-handling fundamentals. “This was the sloppiest pistol work I’ve ever seen, plain and simple,” said Smith, zooming in on a still taken from an Instagram Live video of Morant holding a firearm, circling several incorrectly placed fingers, and disparaging his elbow and wrist form.
It’s clear when you watch this that Ja doesn’t have full control over the piece, and he’s not wielding it as emphatically as he ought to, given the fun-seeming situation. Young kids are going to see him holding a gun in a video like this and think that’s how they’re supposed to hold their gun. You’d never see an NBA player in the ’90s hold a gun like that. Those guys had perfect gun-handling technique.
