Gilbert Arenas Voices Support for Ja Morant During Gun Controversy

If there's one player who has been in Ja Morant's shoes and can sympathize with him, it's Gilbert Arenas. Arenas dedicated a lengthy post on Instagram to Ja Morant, calling on media outlets to apologize to him.

Here is Arenas' post in full:

"Can all the media outlets apologize to #jamorant for the smear campaign they did by calling him a Thug ! this Family man,hero,Role model ,franchise player,future face of the league and now 📍PHILANTHROPIST 📍He is shown here Donating his money and time to A Local Historic Place called "Shotgun willies" that houses 💥Missguilded females of the community💥due to the lack of funding from the city, the building AC was not working at the time which is why Morant shirt was seen off in this picture💯 The 50k donation that MR morant provided had one of the local Community women so excited she jumped on Mr morant without his consent As u can see he was not touching the women nor enjoying what was going on,as for Mr Morant's live video, due to The large amount of currency displayed on the ground, A local #Denverite attempted To Rob this HISTORICAL place and MR Morant courageously put his life in harms way and DISARMED the Bandit🙏🏿🙌🏾🙌🏾 Mr morant showed Great HEROISM 🎗️👑❤️ the Mayor of denver "Michael B Hancock" dropped the investigation against Mr morant and now is thinking about giving him the key to the city for his bravery that night ✅ Can't wait to see Mr morant back on the Floor 💯 All hero's don't wear capes But Mr Morant does 🥇#standupcitizen"

While certain sportscasters like Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe have definitely taken Morant's situation over the line, Ja also posted the videos himself. No one framed Ja Morant into a certain image, he's literally posting videos of himself with a gun. That doesn't change the fact that both Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe should apologize to him.
