As the 6’6 shooting guard was on Instagram Live living it up, fans did not want to take any chances. Many fans in the comments section notified Green not to flash a gun while on social media.

This left Green in fits. Green, while he was on IG live with thousands of his fans, said, “Everybody’s commenting, don’t pull no pistol out. They rolling my n***a man, I don’t got no gun.”

That surely would’ve been a moment where the fans breathed a sigh of relief when Green assured them, he did not have a firearm on him.

Ja Morant teaches an expensive lesson to other players

After Ja Morant’s actions and the repercussions, he had to deal with due to it, Green and other NBA players would be much better off not flashing firearms even if they had any in their possession. 

Morant was apologetic the first time around, leaving everyone under the assumption that he had learned his lesson. However, after getting eliminated by the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round, Morant could be seen doing the same thing he was suspended for.
