Ja Morant is receiving more criticism over his latest celebration.
On Tuesday night, Morant busted out a finger gun dance celebration after notching a game-clinching alley-oop dunk vs the New Orleans Pelicans in overtime.

While fans defended Morant by saying that it was just a dance, former NBA players Chandler Parsons and Lou Williams scolded Morant over the celebration, considering he had just served a 25-game suspension for brandishing a gun on social media.
“What else has to happen for you, and your family and your friends, to learn? Make this about basketball, make this about your life, make this about your livelihood, and stop doing things like this,” said Parsons.

“The NBA is watching, don’t do anything that got anything, with any kind of arms, my brother. Stop it,” said Williams.

Parsons and Williams are surely not going to be the only ones that are going to weigh in on the Morant dance in the next few days.
