Ja Morant
There is no questioning the worthiness of Ja Morant becoming a league Most Value Player in the near future. The player is one of the most athletic and energetic point guards the league has ever opened its doors to in recent history. The player his team from the rubbles of the bottom seeded teams to one of the top contenders for the title this season.
Morant has upped his game immensely this season only 19.1 points, 4 rebounds, and 7.4 assists per game last year which is more than decent for a sophomore player. After putting in his maximum effort, this season he put up a whopping 27.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game on 49.3% shooting from the field. This consequently earned the right of becoming the Most Improved Player of the Year.
Fans become excessively hateful over Ja Morant and his father after the first-round series
To be a player and witness criticism for the way you carry yourself on the court is a different situation than being a player’s parent who comes to cheer their son while he performs on the biggest stage of his life. Ja Morant’s father Tee Morant was actively taking part in interviews along with the father of a Minnesota Timberwolves player. Despite the trash talk, it was evident that it was only meant to be sarcastic or friendly.
One fan came to their father-son duo’s defense on Twitter saying, “Hating on Ja Morant for being an active Twitter user just like you and having fun on the court is so weird but hating on his dad for just vibing, watching his son play basketball, and respecting other NBA greats is even weirder. Sports fans just want something to be mad about.” The NBA All-Star replied to the tweet saying, “f* em we ball.”
Ja Morant speaks on the unfortunate Game 1 loss against the Warriors
Round two of the playoffs began two nights ago for the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors. Even while being down a player, the Dubs managed to limit the Grizzlies players from cutting through the basketball and shooting from a distance. Ja Morant had missed a last-second layup while being contested by Klay Thompson.
Stephen Curry did a great job locking up on the Memphis star holding him away from scoring like he usually would. Ja said to the media, “I missed the layup I normally make. All the time. On to the next one.” He finished the game with 34 points, 9 rebounds, and 10 assists shooting 14-31 from the field. Both teams will face each other tonight at the FedEx Forum Arena, Memphis, Tennessee.
