Grizzlies star Ja Morant fired back at Kuminga, telling the rookie that he has to “earn some stripes” first before he can start with talks like that.

Kuminga then responded back to Morant’s tweet, saying that he wouldn’t say too much.

Kuminga poked fun at the Grizzlies by referring to the song “Whoop That Trick” by rapper Al Kapone, which has become an iconic chant for Grizzlies fans and has gained the attention of media and fans around the globe. It became a huge talking point during Game 5 at Memphis, when Steph Curry responded to ESPN’s Kendra Andrews’ question before the game by saying that the Warriors’ plan was to “Whoop That Trick.”

Curry’s comments ended up backfiring as the Grizzlies blew the Warriors apart by winning 134-95. The Grizzlies led by 55 at one point during the game. The thrashtalk followed by the blow out win lead to plenty of Internet memes. The FedExForum crowd erupted chanting the song throughout the fourth quarter of the blowout. Draymond Green, Jordan Poole and Stephen Curry could be seen enjoying the moment, laughing when the game was completely in the hands of Grizzlies.

Ultimately, Kuminga and Morant were just having light-hearted fun on Twitter after a hard-fought series between the two teams. Morant could not play in the final three games of the series due to an injury in his knee during Game 3. Kuminga stepped up in his role after GPII’s elbow fracture and started Games 3, 4 and 5, but didn’t play at all in Game 6.
