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.

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.
