The Orlando Magic legend Penny Hardaway believes that social media is to blame for some of Ja Morant’s recent antics, which include flashing a gun during an early-morning Instagram Live stream in Glendale, Colorado.
“I [don’t] think people understand how hard it is for young guys in the NBA with social media and so much stuff going on,” Hardaway said on Tuesday, according to the Commercial Appeal. “It’s tough. You need a great support system. He’s gonna have a great support system now, because everybody’s rallying around him. But it is tough, you know, you’re 21, 22, 23 years old making millions of dollars. You know, social media is so crazy now. It’s difficult.”
“We’re all praying for Ja. I’m here for Ja,” Hardaway said.
