Brodie threw away his whole career just like that

Wow

All these incidents is a sign of Lebron loosing his spotlight on what an NBA player should look like… this power shift has kids lost.

Hanging out with Ja?

Call it for what it is: 'Dumb'.

Where his parents?

These lil niggas trynna be down so bad🤦🏼‍♂️ for what gang. You a pro prospect like cmon now.

He trying to be the next shooter

Tf. Bro tryna be ja.

Though world gots to protect yourself

there vids about it on my twitter

HaHaHa.

March 27, 2023 altercation at a home in Jamul that Mr. Williams maintained as a residence This altercation was initiated by several uninvited individuals entering the home and causing a disturbance. During the aftermath of this disturbance, there were reports of shots being fired

Are we surprised though? It’s Memphis.

Ja really be inspiring these kids🤦🏽‍♂️

Shocker going to Memphis lol

Where's the father? Oh wait...

I will wonder was he set up 🆙? Lord let the truth come out

Straight Thug.

🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ ruining his career

And we all should feel sorry for him... haha

LISTEN BLACK ATHLETES. LEAVE THE FUCKING GUNS ALONE. I KNOW THEY'RE GLORIFIED IN THE RAP SOUNDS. BUT, IT'S NOT COOL AND IT'LL JUST EVENTUALLY GET YOU THROWN INTO PRISON. STOP IT!!!!

Yet another kid throwing away his potential career and life.

Even as a player he is arrogant and disrespectful. I don’t know him but I’ve never seen him show any kind of sportsmanship. Throughout interviews and clips on the internet he remind me of niggas who got it all but wanna be from the gutter. That type of mentality kills.

WOW

He’s gooffyyy😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Memphis talking to Williams about his scholarship:

Clout player. He’ll never be good in college

Didn't they know he was recruited as a shooter?

His tattoos will look good in jail.

uncuff him and let him cook

Wow

Hood rat

Damn mikey, what you thinking man 🤦🏽‍♂️

That’s what happens when you make these kids feel invincible on social media.

Lol loser

Nigga wants to b ja wick jr

Bama Bound. AlabamaMBB perfect fit!

Fits right in with Memphis.

smh

'He had nearly 4 million Instagram followers at the time of his commitment to Memphis and has more than 2 million TikTok followers.'

Better start raising these kids on country music or something....not surprised though....that age group is doomed

Idiot

🤣

So is he transferring to Alabama

Well this youngboy might not make it to the nba. 🤣

See officer what a been happening was

Guess he’ll just go to Alabama now

Ja effect

🚽🤫

Yea well cause that’s how ”they” deal with issues. Like my dad used to say as long as they killin each other.

😓 Damn Mikey had high hopes for you, hope Memphis stays committed

Will this hinder him from making the deans list? 😂🤣

Let's throw are whole future away and be a tuff guy smh

Thissssss doesn’t surprise me. Overhyped hs star into a felon.

idiot

What a shock. Lol

Replace Star with …

Clarence

Been seeing this one coming..he been a fake bully for a while now

He got fame and was carried away with it. Social Media is toxic to the youth cus of the fact that they think theyre dope just because of this and that. They tend to lose focus on the real deal which is the big league NBA

Oops. Not my fault.

Smart

Here comes the saints in the comments talking about what he should do, hang with, and questions about his parents. Meanwhile your dad wasnt around, you did the same things if not worse and a kid and you work a dead end job..

Shooters gonna shoot.

Bro is already rich, set up to be a lottery pick and they out here doing dumbass stuff. Just focus on ball bro, it's that easy.

These cats aren't real bright. There goes whatever career he thought he'd have.👎

Lmao dude had it all and just threw it away 💀

Smh. These kids bout to finesse themselves out of a one in a life time opportunity.

Lock him up. Take away his scholarship. Should never play for a team again at least not stateside

Seems like a well-adjusted young man.

You spend years working. Every single year the field gets narrowed down. Now you are a D1 commit and getting closer to achieving your dream…. Then in one moment you throw all that away…… very sad

A black aflete did this? No way! I thought only white people did this kind of stuff.

how can you shoot at people and not be charged with attempted murder?

Proves he is right where he should be at Memphis

He was just keeping it real 🤷🏿‍♂️

Hmmm shocked

shooters shoot

Going to Memphis…checks out

Niggas are fr slow 😭you know how many people wanna be in his so bad dawg and bro out here acting the fool

Jesus!!! Way to blow it kid! All you had to do was play basketball.

Memphis again

Are you shocked? I’m not!

As a young athlete, it's tough to face challenges and make mistakes in the public eye. Hoping this athlete does as well as possible and learns from any missteps. Also hoping he received some good Puma sponsorship money to help him through it.

Not a star. Just another thug. Say goodbye pal. So sad

What is wrong with these kids

When keeping it real Goes wrong

Bum

Damn

Lil niggas got no guidence now a days just raisesd on trap music

Knew it

Weird.

Wrong place wrong time

GOT WHAT HE DESERVED 😂🤡😂🤡

Ahhh…..The ‘Culture’ 🤦🏾

GOOOOFYYYYYY🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Shocking.

Shocker

Lies. Y’all hating on the young king

Stay humble Kid! Hahahaha

Typical

Penny recruits another low class criminal

Well Alabama has already set the standard. So this kid will get a pass and keep his scholarship I’m sure.

Mikey after he gets out

What’s fucking criminal. Go to prison for your criminal behavior. Don’t get rewarded.

Damn what's going on🤦🏾‍♂️

A blax committing crime? No way?

Was his weapon a basketball?

Lol

Come on man.

Lock him up.

GratefulKeg Nice Mikey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Washed...

Lol…. Shocking

Is that Ja?

Savages can’t help themselves

B L M

Gg

Karma a bitch

🤣🤣🤣

Wrong place at the wrong time. Roll Tide!

Not all young athletes are going to be able to handle this NIL world we live in. Case in point this young knucklehead. Over a million dollars and hasn’t even stepped foot in a college classroom yet!!! That money is going straight to the ego and this is the shit that happens.

I’m sure you will Blame Trump

Fumbled the bag before he even got it

First round pick. Folsom prison

Aw naw cuz Wut penny n memfizz gonna do bout dat dough cracka plea

Liberal DA’s will let him off in the name of equity or some other made up white guilt bs.

Sad sad story

free mikey ike he a shooter CIxmps

Lolol

It’s the Gun’s fault ask any left winger you know!

Bro gone fit right in with ja and Dillion brooks

Isn't that the kid this video was going around that he dunk on this Caucasian kid and stepped on his arm and hand

Surely not gun issue in USA

PrestonWats that’s ur boy

He was trying to rob a Mickey D’s on Beal Street wearing his McDonald’s All-American jersey barstoolsports TheBabylonBee

Bronny really framed this kid 😆

Memphis has found their guy!

Ungratefull people fart in heaven 😂😂

Anybody surprised?

Another thug.

Is anyone shocked? Maybe Bobby RGIII can answer how he is a victim?

Mfers need to stay outta Memphis. We don’t have none fun to do bruh. Everybody come here wanna start gun play

Smh

throw away you life when its just starting

All that work for the past 8 years of high school down the drain gone be hard to come back if he did this

ESPN everyday to find someone black to exploit

Wow I’m so surprised

His career over

Hell yea!

He’ll fit right in at Memphis

What the hell is matter with these KIDS....smh

Nice, I’m sure he’s a “good kid”.

Yea true, but the silver spoon prior to now has made him feel invinsible and now he’s in jail..screwed.

Ja Morant really is a great role model

Not a star recruit, future thug!

Future Memphis Grizzlie.

Not unexpected.. you go 😎

spongebob tries selling chocolate in memphis

Anotha one

I feel for this kid. Obviously he has no direction. There have been excuses made for his off and on effort and his body language is awful on the court. Now this!

Make an example outta him give him 10 years

Why be a star basketball player when you could be a gangsta with a gun.

Dumba$$

I hope that assault charge, was worth more than the millions he just gave up! 😅

I guess a basketball isn't the only thing he can shoot.🤣🤣🤪🤪

That's what happens weekend you surround yourself worth NBA Youngboy

Mikey Williams is a thvg

It’s the black community it’s becoming typical . They get once in a lifetime opportunities and they think it’s a smart decision to brandish a gun and hurt people and shit . Where are the parents bro

Wrong place at the wrong time - Alabama

Keeping it real

Wow

people saw this asshole dunk on a someone, then step on his hand purposefully, and were praising him. Its this kind of arrogance and pride that gets young black men locked up and institutionalized. Case in point

🤡

Tennessee gun laws are a fuckin joke. But you would think his parents, friends, siblings, educators would drill into this clowns head, ( You have to much to loose, remember those clowns in Alabama D. MILES and M.DAVIS). Their lives and futures are over

Free homie

Ja Morant taught him well. So inspirational

Players who can play again thinking they can do anything because they think there will not be repercussions.

I knew this kid was a clown after I saw him step on that dude’s arm after dunking on him. No sympathy

Brink of the NBA and he screws the pooch...

Damn

Good job ruined your career to act tough 🤦🏻‍♂️

🗑

Ja Morant his favorite player and role model 🤣😂

Shocking

Well.....off to Alabama

Whelp we got that out of the way early

Fucking black boy this is what happens when you lose control, Control your nigga ness. Frizzy hair , nigga voice ,, tur meeee up ayeeeeee......

God gonna give this man all the talent in the world ...... shit is crazy

“Issa a parade in my city yeah”

Niggas need to stay in the lane trynna be like youngboy gonna fuck ya career up

Nice Work ruined his life at 18 lol can’t help it being a tough guy is to awesome :(

Lock this thug up. Ruin his career

Goodbye NBA, hello McDonald's!

Ja Morant walked so Mike Williams could run.

Charges will be dropped 😂 he will get a slap on the wrist

Si pintaba que era una fichita

He is now in the Portal..... The 'Inmate Portal' at the local jail.

Let’s go

They just never disappoint you. NEVER

What?!?!

He will end up at olemissbball where they find assault perfectly fine as a pre-requisite for their basketball team

Memphis' AD is having a tough spring...

Haters and trolls STOP! Kid is young and hopefully he can learn from this and move forward & get his sh!t straight. Thankfully no one was hurt. Not saying what he did was right, but we always 2 quick 2 jump in a negative way our youth. Life will take care of humbling us.

Mikey Mikey Mikey

Damn

Ja Morant style!

Bro got blessed with this ability and wastes it to look cool. Kinda sad

Ja Morant likes this ***

If you not aware of mikey Williams

People who can be 50% hood and 50% basketball player. It's one or the other period. Facts. Regardless he career is over.

“star recruit”

Bwahahaha he will be playing. Who cares what he did anymore. nfl nba ncaa mlb will always let elite athletes off the hook…such is the American way.

He's ja morant 2.0

Bwahahahaha

Always knew he was a thug. Wanted to be yb so bad

I dont feel sorry for this kid at all. He chose guns over going to college and playing a game he loves and is good at. Play stupid games you win stupid prizes and look at what prize he is about to get.

Makes me sad

Good for him!!!

Mikey might have got this call soon after

Damn hope bro can still go to Memphis 🔥🙏🏿💯

Memphis' defense just got stronger! Not the legal one, but definitely a physical one!

These rich kids always thinking they gangster about as dangerous and scary as the island boys or 69

He will fit in perfect there

Gangs are influencing athletes to commit crimes.

Good. Kids a n____

Blame white people

Going to Alabama now

Lol. Sub culture rides again.

These youngsters mistakes are being more scrutinized …

Hell Penny won’t care.

That Ja Morant influence is crazy

So he would be fine if he had committed to Alabama

Send him to Notre Dame… And counseling. Let’s not write him off yet. What were the details?

Gun culture at it again

This kids attitude has sucked for awhile... This is not at all surprising

Why do these rich LA kids think they’re gangsta. Just go get your money dude

Awesome culture 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

You don’t say

Kid just blew his career 🤦🏼‍♂️

Memphis knows how to pick ‘em

LMAOOO

Memphis do love their wannabe gangstas that always had it easy , always had food on the table and momma and dad are happily married. The struggle for these young men. That’s why they turn to the gangsta side bc of how hard their life’s journey has been 🤣

He easily will start on that prison county team …

It blows my mind. That young talented athletes make such poor decisions. Also not having the thought processes of what there actions could possibly cost them. Sometimes you have to distance yourself from friends/people that are not going where you are going.

He will fit in just right in Memphis. Does he drive a Charger?

Keep promoting incidents like Ja Morant and this is all young ppl have to look up to. It’s sad. 🤦

Now he will transfer to Alabama

Fine upstanding young men.

Smh 🤦‍♂️ gun mentality

Anyone with that many tattoos commits agg assault on a weekly basis

Took shooter’s shoot to heart

Darn ….he could have been a true leader in the NBA someday like Lebron!! Oh well…..

😒🙄🤦🏽‍♀️

I blame white supremacy

He should transfer to Alabama

Act like basketball players and football players aren’t thugs… This is nothing new.

Or instead of mocking this young man we could pray for him, and that he be a walking testimony of turning his life around and realizing what greatness is ahead of him. This life lesson could be his saving grace. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Of course

Sheesh. Dudes got millys upon millys waitin for him.

Memphis, I'm shocked. That program would never.

It’s the ja morant phase

Got that street cred though

Why do hoopers think they have to be gangster?

Lol stay hood

I don’t believe it. FAKE NEWS

Maybe Ja can set him straight.

Where is Uncle Phil?! 🤷🏾‍♂️

Nothing like b ball and a gun🤔 career over

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Is it that dangerous in the USA that kids have to walk around with guns or is this like a culture thing for young African-Americans? Im so confused why he would put himself in that situation.

😂

how to throw your life away 101

So who exactly posted his 50k bond. He’s in high school.

mfs wanna be like YB a little tooooo much

He'll be perfect for Memphis

Thug!

Nate Oats licking his lips thinking about Williams in a Bama uniform

Since it’s Memphis I expect him to receive some local NIL deals after this.

If this is true, I don’t feel bad for him at all! He’s not a gangsta, he doesn’t live in the hood, he has money cause of the new rules. There’s NO REASON for him to carry a gun, other than to ACT! 14 months away from possibly being a lottery pick, but he rather act like Ja Morant

Nate Oates right now

A kid with good moral character,….

Can’t make this 💩up?

If it wasn't for the Second Amendment and there were no guns available this never happens... right?

Yostayloud

Cold world

Lebron out there pulling a Tanya Harding. This is a setup.

*Alabama transfer Mikey Williams

Why y'all want to mess up your life, with such a bright future?🪴😎✌🏾

🚨Check out my recent post🚨

jrichardgoodman You were asking about him a few weeks ago! 😳😳😳

Oh no…. He’s gotta be smarter than that. Cmon Mikey

Last we'll be hearing this name.

Let the excuses come.......

Another Penny recruit heading to the clink

Memphis knows how to recruit some high character players!

Should've went to Bama. Wouldn't have have consequences

Can’t say I didn’t see this coming…

Hi. I need to find a quick way to destroy my career.

😂😂😂

mitchellmoore24

why is alabama being brought up

Man come on bro anyone would trade their life to live in yours based off of money and now your going to throw it away for doing dumb shit.

Sad that they throw away their whole lives for the streets

perfect for the region

You get the bag and fumble it.

Lord_Chewie I don’t understand how a kid could be so willing to throw everything away over a gun. He could have generational wealth in 5 years or less and instead he chooses the low road.

Lmao 🤣 🤣 content of their character. Hmmm be a millionair in the NBA or drrrr guns and violence.

When you have opportunity in one hand and a gun in the other hand you lose out on a chance for a better life. Our youth have got to make better decisions.

THUG

He should fit in well there

Never underestimate their violence.

These nggas b cosplaying as gangstas smh jst hoop lil bro

Surprise, surprise.

Mikey William & Ja Morant

Ain’t he like 30 years old and still in high school?

Memphis when they see a Criminal enter the draft:

Damn

He should play for ALabama instead. Hell he could kill somebody and Oats McGee would give him a full ride and a 5 mil NIL deal

So he's going to play for Alabama?

Thug

Damn Mikey Morant

AlabamaMBB has entered the chat… 🤣

NIL:

Shocking, he looks like such a nice guy. 🐵

Wrong place wrong time

Should fit right in…

Yep this is what happens when you don't punish your young children. They don't know what repercussions are. Great job parents

Fake tough.

And there goes his career

Perfect cultural fit for Memphis

Dam white people oppressing this gifted young man who had everything going for him and causing him to shoot at people BLM

No problem. If he’s good he plays.

Deadly baller

Say it ain’t so…

Bro thought he was ja morant lol, just threw he career out the window.

These young men need to decide - the streets or the NBA or NFL!!

Can’t get out of trouble

Mikey morant

Issa parade inside my city yeeeeee

Anyone surprised? theydontlearn

Clown!

Ja morant walked so Mikey could run

Hope he has NIL with Law firm ...

Another dude trying to be hard. Gotta check your egos at the door, people.

Pass me the ball, I mean soap.

Thug

Smdh

Smfh!!!!

Ahahahahaah!!!!!!!!!

Mikey Williams has really been working on his long-range shooting

Must know ja morant

Assault charge huh? Sounds like he's fully committed to being a Memphis Tiger.

something in that memphis water

Nate oats calling in

He’s just misunderstood. His ancestors paid the price for him to act like this.

BREAKING: the Las Vegas Raiders just became an NBA team and now have their sights set on Mikey Williams

Transfer to Alabama! Not only can you have guns there, your gun can be used in a murder, and you’ll get to play in the NCAA tourney with no repercussions!!!

I’m sure jay williams gives him a pass

ppl out here strugglin and these mfs with a golden ticket playin gansta.

Mikey watching Ja

Is it time to have a conversation about young black men growing up in wealthy areas and then trying to act hood for “tha culture”? Not yet?

ITS A PARADE INSIDE MY CITY

It’s fine. Alabama will take him.

What happened to using your fists to take care of any problems?

Career over!! Better learn Chinese

mans from the burbs lol

He will fit right in in the city of Memphis. I’d rather have my kids go to Kandahar then step foot in that cess pool.

He might go higher now!!

He just ruined his basketball career

Thug

These young men need to do one thing when they get these contracts and big money. Higher a caretaker who is beside them 24 hours a day to keep them out of trouble and to live the life of an athlete that todays youth look up to.

MyGuySteve

Future grizzly

Holding Ja’s gear 🤷🏼🤷🏼🙈🙈

get ready to learn chinese buddy

Sucks to hear man, hopefully he grows from this mistake

Fr throwing away his life

Thug

Should get life.

Not Daygo Mikey 😔

He probably a good kid tho

Like why

Do his NIL deals have any moral clauses in them?

get ready to learn Chinese buddy

And people wonder why there is a stereotype.

Prison ball is where it’s at. Spent 5 years there!

BLM wya 😂

He ain’t even in Memphis yet for college and Ja already got him on call

How mikey be like at bro free time:

When u live the culture the NBA players for your city glorified

Gen Z kids are the worst man

😂 thuggery

Back in the days the streets used to take care of these young cats.

LOSER

You could tell by his day in the life videos that he was a degenerate. He’s going to Memphis because he can’t even spell his own name

Zero surprise

Memphganistan

Gotta keep it on you , it’s crazy outside

These people with immense potential and talent will just never learn what to cherish lmfao it’s always about clout and gang culture

SURPRISE!

Hey NRA legal huh?

5 bastards came to rob him …. And he got charged. Puma not pulling endorsement

Ouch.

Can you imagine a team of him, ja, emoni bates and miles bridges 🤧

Look what JaMorant has done to the young hoopers. 619PRESIDENTIAL

mfs try to be gangster so bad this kid has been silver spoon fed opportunities since he was 11, do a better job at parenting or don’t be a parent.

No dad and black. No surprise

Why is this news? An Alabama player was an accomplice to murder and no one seemed to care and allowed him to continue to play.

Sad to see, but at least we know his comp

ballknowerwill

This is a KID who doesn’t know any better, what he needs is people in his life to guide him

Maybe Ja is the role model

Oh well, let's move on to the next one. You all want to keep hyping up hood crap? Well don't cry when hood crap comes back to bite you. No more tears shed on this trash.

He thinks he’s ja morant

no. way. this guy?

Grizzlies: i know who we drafting in 2 years

Should have went bama

Tbh why are these Kids, With the World in front of them always fucking in this Situations ! Like where is the Guidance or structure, to check them to make sure we are not messing this opportunity up !!!

Dumba$$

Brillant___ choqué

Only like the 5th recruit to do it this year its not common or repetitive at all.

Yikes

Lock it in Mikey is gonna be United with ja they will be a lethal duo off and on the court

Thug life once again. Didn’t Ja teach you anything?

We’ll decide punishment upon finding out how good he is first

career ruined

Least surprising news of the day.

Damn kid

Ja Morant already rubbing off in the new generation

This guy needs some guidance

His real name is Clarence
