You can take the kid out the hood but not the hood out the kid especially when his entourage is by his side. His mom and dad seem to be no strangers to confrontation either. MEM needs to reel him in before he does something that may end his career and put him behind bars.

He grew up in a middle class family from the suburbs, not exactly the hood. He does seem to really be pursuing that street image though.

Did not know that but explains why Shannon Sharpe called him out about pretending.

Yeah, he's been getting roasted about his thug life act online for awhile.

He’s not from “the hood” he grew up very good by all accounts and is a private school kid.
Police have already investigated the claims and the NBA. No action will be taken by the NBA and the police will not be charging him with any crime. The police concluded it was an act of self-defense. I am sure this turns into a civil lawsuit anyway.

"The incident with the teenage boy, was purely self-defense. Again, after this was fully investigated by law enforcement, they came to the decision not to charge Ja with any crime.”

Hmmm. No charges pressed---then there is more to that story. Of course, the kid may have chosen riches over court justice. Can't blame the kid for taking the money instead if that's what happened.Police have already investigated the claims and the NBA.

I am not aware of a lawsuit yet. Just speculating it wouldn't suprise me. However, since nobody can coberate that Morant did anything wrong? This might already be over.

No lawsuit. Just a payoff behind the scenes to drop the charges. That is what I would guess happened. If the kid refuses to press charges or testify, there is no case.

Morant admits he started the punching, punched the a over a dozen times, no report of the kid being able to fight back... then Morant goes and grabs his gun.
"Self defense"
Right.

I don't think Morant even disputed it, he claimed he started punching because he felt threatened.
Yeah, he is claiming selfdefense.
