Barkley called the celebration "immature." Morant did get support from Shaquille O'Neal who told the Grizzlies star to "pull that pin." O'Neal then whistled and mimicked the sound of an explosion to simulate a grenade That history may have played a role in Morant's fine In the league's statement announcing the punishment it said Morant's finger-gun taunt "could be interpreted in a negative light." The grenade celebration could also fit into that category, but that's not going to stop Morant. Prior to Thursday's game, Morant said he was going to keep doing it "That's my celebration now until somebody else has a problem with it and I'll find another one," Morant said after Thursday's shootaround Despite Morant's attempts to provoke the NBA it's unclear whether the league will take action against him for the new celebration it sounds like Morant is prepared to keep pushing the envelope until he's left alone or the league starts threatening harsher punishments (KLKN) — An inert grenade was found Monday morning in a south Lincoln neighborhood Lincoln Fire & Rescue was called to the area of 35th and Lake streets after a caller stumbled across the inert explosive The agency’s hazardous device team was also called in to assist at the scene The news quickly spread through the neighborhood Longtime Lincolnite Courtney Kochaer said she had to see what happened “It came over my watch since I have my watch connected to my phone “So I told the lady that I live with that I’m going to kind of stay back and see what the heck is going on.” Neighbors said though it was an inert grenade “I got chills about and scared for the people that have to live in that area even the one that found it,” Kochaer said A neighbor said she’s been living in this area for the 25 years and she’s only seen something like that one other time Tim Stohlmann noted that LFR receives about half a dozen calls about the discovery of grenades each year Stohlmann said it’s best to leave it alone and call 911 The Lincoln Police Department said the grenade was stolen from an unlocked vehicle Sunday night another grenade was found near 20th and Lake streets LPD said the two grenades had no connection with each other SEE ALSO: Second inert grenade found in Lincoln; officials say the two aren’t related Leave it to former NBA player Gilbert Arenas to insert himself into the current situation with Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant During his podcast, Arenas said Morant should mimic throwing a grenade during his on-court celebrations.
