Big piece about Ja https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/04/06/ja-morant-punch-teenager-finish-line/

This is the part that hit me the hardest

quote:

After Morant left the store, Busby’s managers eventually told him he had to leave, and he slipped out of the mall fearing Morant might be waiting for him.
“I was actually scared to walk out, because I didn’t know what was going to happen,” Busby said. “I’ve never been in a situation like that ever in my life.”
Busby, who made $9.25 an hour, said that losing his pay for the rest of the day stung; he was saving for his next semester of college.
They didn’t even pay him for the rest of the day!!

quote:

It would be six weeks after the altercation until Morant would face a question on the record about Holloway’s allegations. That interview, on Sept. 8, took place in his attorneys’ Memphis office. According to a police transcript of the interview, Morant apologized to the detectives for “rescheduling on y’all.”

“Aye, you good man,” said Det. Aaron Avant. “At least you got in within a month’s time.”

Morant recounted to the detectives that after Holloway threw the ball at his face, the teenager “like, pulled up his pants,” which he took as a threatening gesture. “At that point, I felt in danger,” Morant said. “So, that’s me protecting myself.”

“I got you,” Avant responded. “Coming from where I come from, I know when you pull those pants up — aye, you mean business.”

Yeah, usually you can narrow it down to four or so real championship contenders but this year there are like 11 teams that wouldn't shock me to see in the finals (the top 5 teams in the East and the top 7 teams in the West minus Sacramento).

This is a weird cultural artifact of wearing way too loose pants. It's a contemporary version of "girding one's loins"–preparing for the possibility of a fight by making sure you don't accidentally pants yourself seconds into the action.

They sent a double team at me in a pickup game. That was the first red flag. Then one of the guys adjusted his pants, crouched down real slow, and just violently slapped the poo poo out of the court. How else am I supposed to take that?

Ok, I know I am the last guy to have a trusted opinion on fashion*, but the bucket hat is the douchiest of all hats. It's like having "don't leave your drinks unattended" printed on a T-shirt, only more efficient of a symbol.

That's just the same "don't leave your drinks unattended" vibe mixed with even more explosively violent personality issues.

Honestly, looking like a sad wet charity case almost certainly is the best way to pull it off.

Edit
You know, examination of the issue suggests this may be a bias for living in a college town. Perhaps I need to evaluate the bucket hat on older men, and on women.

I looked up the motorist from Clue, thinking he had a bucket hat, but no, it turns out he was just wearing a Fedora. So maybe "sad, wet charity case" is the proper use-case for all hats.
