New details of Morant video

New shocking details of Morant's escapades at the gentleman's club have emerged. The New York Post released more photos of the NBA star.

According to employees at Shotgun Willie's in Glendale, Colorado, the guard spent at least $50,000 in his two appearances at the establishment. In one leaked photo, the floor in one room was covered in cash as a dancer was entertaining Morant.

According to the Post, the two-time All-Star paid for four dancers and bottle service.

After the Grizzlies' 113-97 defeat to the Nuggets, Morant started an Instagram Live video and flaunted his gun, rapping along to Bring ‘Em Out by rapper, YoungBoy Never Broke Again.

According to Shotgun Willie's majority owner, Deborah Dunafon, the basketballer carried himself well.

"This kid, real young, was exceptionally respectful, and sweet and he did not drink [on his second visit]. We’ve had [Denver] Nuggets and Broncos… come in and pitch quarters at the girls, be disrespectful and nasty. He’s marvelous."

However, she claimed the gun had 'absolutely terrified' some of the dancers.

Shaq's message to Morant

Sports Brief earlier reported on Los Angeles Lakers legend, Shaquille O'Neal weighing in on Morant's situation.

The NBA icon said the star needed to stop making bad decisions that could see him lose everything he's worked hard to achieve.

O'Neal told Morant to carry himself like an NBA player, not a rapper, reminding the Grizzlies star of his profession.
