Grizzlies' Ja Morant highlights with gun puns featured on NBA on TNT image

Ja Morant's finger guns gestures on the court have prompted discipline from the NBA.

That's after he was suspended by the league in 2023 for gun-related incidents.

But when Morant stole the show late Thursday and hit a buzzer beater for the Grizzlies against the Heat, the NBA on TNT crew didn't hold back.

They brought every gun pun you could think of to their highlight package.

The full list:

  • Bang
  • On target
  • Assassin
  • Pew pew pew
  • Locked and loaded
  • Straight shooter
  • Bullseye
  • Shoot your shot
  • Steady aim fire
  • Long range
  • Sniper
  • Closer range
  • Killshot

NBA commissioner Adam Silver probably didn't love this.

Morant, though, made sure he remained in the headlines with the game winner, and the TNT folks decided to lean right in.
