Great talent on the court, lot's of issues off. I hope he gets the help he needs and doesn't end up like so many others.
For some reason seeing the video reminded me of the tragedy of Aaron Hernandez. |

Player leaves the bad neighborhood and criminal element. In the spirit of "keeping it real" they stupidly bring it with them. Like bringing bedbugs to your dorm at Oxford on purpose.

Morant had a middle-class upbringing in Dalzell, South Carolina. Far from a "bad neighborhood"

I'm believer that everyone is an individual and people make their own choices. For every person identified as being from a bad neighborhood, every other person from that neighborhood manages to not do things that put them in situations like this.

The reality is he will be back soon and playing games in the playoffs and it will all be forgotten unless he does something stupid in the future.
Great players get extra leeway in all sports especially for their own teams fans

Median household income in Dalzell is 40,750. In my middle class neighborhood just outside Detroit (not in New York or San Fran) it's 138,000. Not sure where you found a description of 40K as middle class, but things must be mighty cheap in Dalzell to have a family living middle class for that. https://www.usnews.com/education/bes...h-school-17730

But where does the connection come from? I don't know criminal statistics for the town, but I'd be willing to bet 9 out of every 10 people from it are not doing things that this guy is. Seems like this is a personal choice more than anything else. I don't think this behavior is inevitable in any way.

One of the popular knocks against Morant for his recent shenanigans has been that he is essentially "playing at" being about that tough, street guy life while having been raised in a stable family home in a semi-rural/suburban environment.
