“I was starstruck,” Ja Morant makes candid confession on true feelings when he first faced Kyrie Irving

The Memphis Grizzlies star player Ja Morant talked about him facing off against Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving when he was in his rookie year. Ja Morant was speaking on ‘The Pivot’ podcast and recalled this face-off. He even said it was an unforgettable experience for him, and he was watching ‘Uncle Drew’ just before the start of the match against the Brooklyn Nets.

Ja Morant quoted, “Game hasn’t even started yet and I’m like, ‘This my matchup today!” He added, “I can say my first starstruck moment was the Kyrie matchup. Before the tip man, normally I would just grab the ball, dribble it once and pass it back. He grabbed the ball and just started doing a hella crossover and I’m just like, ‘Goddamn!”

Morant didn’t back out, and his calm approach helped him tie the game, and it went into overtime. He said, “I pretty much could have gotten the ball, called a timeout, have some time off the clock, pretty much end the game. But I blocked the shot, and once I blocked it, I didn’t even look for the ball no more. I just went down the court talking sh**.” He further added, “That was my first 30-point game, my third game of the season. I blocked a shot and sent it to overtime.”

The Golden State Warriors ripped through Ja Morant’s Memphis Grizzlies during the Western Conference semi-finals in May. Ja Morant suffered an injury at the end of Game 3 of the semi-finals that caused him to miss the remainder of that series. He said his injury was the turning point in the contest to acquire a spot in the Western Conference Finals. The Memphis even had the home court advantage, but fate had different plans. The Warriors pocketed the series and made it to the Western Conference Finals, and later registered another title under their name by getting rid of the Celtics in six games during the finals.
