WHY WE HATE HIM
The young star speedrunning his villain arc. Multiple gun incidents on Instagram Live, suspended twice for reckless behavior. His 'my own worst enemy' approach is making him one of the league's most controversial stars.
VILLAIN RESUME
2x All-Star at just 25 years old, but his off-court issues threaten everything. Two Instagram Live gun incidents earned 50+ game suspensions in one year. Elite talent (23.5 PPG, 7.4 APG) with terrible judgment. Memphis' franchise player who couldn't stay out of trouble, until the Grizzlies traded him to Portland in June 2026. Could've been the next face of the league.
GREATEST VILLAIN MOMENT
"Being suspended for 25 games after his second Instagram Live gun incident in 2023 - despite already being suspended earlier that season - showed a pattern that threatens his career."
THE DEFENSE
Young player making mistakes but learning from them. His on-court talent is generational. Memphis fans stood by him for years. He's working on maturity and making better decisions. Still has time to turn it around.
