Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant was suspended at least two games on Saturday after he appeared to hold a gun in a video posted to social media.

As the drama unfolded during the day, clever NBA fans poked fun at the situation and resurfaced a video comparing Morant to the Papa Doc character from the movie "8 Mile." In the scene, Eminem’s character B-Rabbit reveals personal information about his opponent, showing the monotonous average life he was living while posing as a gun-toting gangster.
