John Salley wants those criticizing Ja Morant to calm down. Speaking to TMZ Sports, he is confident that the NBA superstar didn’t have ill intentions when he appeared to mimic a gun celebration on Tuesday night.
According to Salley, Morant’s gestures, which followed a powerful alley-oop dunk in the Grizzlies’ overtime victory against the Pelicans, are just a reflection of “a part of hip-hop culture” and should not be interpreted differently.
“I don’t think he’s trying to mock anybody,” Salley said. “I don’t think he’s trying to be mean about it. Leave Ja Morant alone … Leave him alone.”
