Sauce Gardner indirectly criticized Ja Morant for pretending that he’s from the hood when he has millions of dollars in his bank account.
Ja Morant is the subject of an investigation when he was present in an SUV that allegedly had someone pointing a red laser at Pacers staff after an altercation on the court. Someone on that staff assumed that the laser was attached to a gun.
The report brought widespread criticism of Ja Morant for continuing his act of acting gangsta.
New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner took to Twitter to express his view about the situation and indirectly criticize Morant.
“Pro Athletes, if you really from the trenches, you ain’t gotta prove it every time you know eyes on you. A lot of y’all ain’t even like that for real and THATS FINE! All your life, you grind to go pro, make it pro & start making millions, and then turn gangsta? That’s backwards,” Gardner tweeted.

During the game against the Indiana Pacers last month, Morant’s long-time friend Devonte Pack directed some comments toward Pacers players and he even walked on the court. That got him escorted away. Four or five men walked out of their nearby parked cars toward the Pacers bus and continued harassing the team after that situation.
Earlier this year, Morant got into another scandal when he allegedly punched a teenager during a basketball game.
Gardner may have never said his name, but it is clear who he was speaking about.
