A user named @WHOISS2 wondered what video Shields was talking about as most of them have been removed from social media.

Moreover, a user named Darrly Spence Jr suggested that people need to have guns to live in Memphis and wanted traders to leave them alone. Lastly, a fan named @BillyBurnett claimed that poor people were always real. Moreover, he added that as people get richer they get more fake which might have been the case with Morant’s actions.

The fans were divided over Morant’s recent controversy. While some think that he was within his right to bear arms, others felt that he should be held to a higher standard being a notable basketball player. However, Shields was shocked at the video and expressed her disappointment. Notably, the NBA’s collective bargaining states that players cannot carry arms in team facilities and when traveling on league business. Moreover, with Morant recently being involved with other altercations over the last year this could potentially affect his professional career in the long run.
