Ja Morant, Michael Jordan
Ja Morant, one of the NBA’s most exciting young players, has been very productive during his first three seasons in the league. This season, he even helped his team, Memphis Grizzlies finish as the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. His trash-talking also becomes better as he gets more comfortable challenging people on and off the floor. NBA fans have been ecstatic about the Grizzlies’ second-round pick in 2019 since day one. Ja was the Most Improved Player in 2022 and has been dishing up dimes and “Ja breakers” last season.
If you’re an NBA player, having confidence is essential, and Ja Morant certainly displays it. Regardless of his age, Morant is a very outspoken guy who doesn’t hold back when criticising opponents in-game or publicly. The star player for the Memphis Grizzlies thinks he could defeat any NBA player, past or present. In an interview with Taylor Rooks of Bleacher Report, Morant expressed his desire to play in Michael Jordan‘s era and offered Jordan his flowers, but added that if they had, he would have “cooked” Jordan.

The Grizzlies were automatically qualified for the playoffs under Ja Morant‘s leadership, and they perhaps provided the Warriors with their biggest challenge on the way to the championship. The Grizzlies have completed what is undoubtedly their best season in team history under Morant’s leadership. They tied the 2012-13 club for the most victories in franchise history with 56, and Morant’s growth as a person was a major factor in that. He won the NBA’s Most Improved Player award with an average of 27.4 points and 6.7 assists per game, and if he continues to develop at the same level, it won’t be long until he’s competing for MVP awards.
Michael Jordan is one of the all-time great basketball players. With a unique blend of technical prowess, ease, speed, power, artistry, improvisation skill, and an unending competitive hunger, Jordan reinvented the NBA superstardom as a tremendous athlete. The following list of his greatest accomplishments may be summed up: Rookie of the Year, five-time NBA MVP, six-time NBA champion and NBA Finals MVP, 11 All NBA selections, 9 NBA All-Defensive selections, defensive player of the year, 14-time NBA All-Star, three-time NBA All-Star MVP, selection to the 50th and 75th Anniversary All-Time Team, ten scoring titles, retiring with the average of 30 ppg and Hall of Fame induction.
Ja was questioned about Michael Jordan’s impact in an interview with Taylor Rooks. Ja acknowledged that the GOAT had encouraged many people to play basketball while also stating that he would face MJ in a one-on-one matchup. The Grizzlies guard claimed that when he enters the floor, he has the mentality that no one can defeat him. He stated: “I wish I played in his generation, I would have liked to play against him.” He continued:“I would have cooked him, I would have cooked him, too, Nobody got more confidence than 12, I’ll say nobody gon’ beat me one-on-one or anything.” Here’s how the fans around twitter reacted to this statement:
He then asked as to who the greatest soccer player was, and requested that he and Messi participate in a duel. The perhaps best player in history, Messi, would be up against Ja, according to Ja, and Morant backed up his assertion by adding he’s “confident.” The Memphis Grizzlies, who were likely the toughest playoff opponent the Golden State Warriors, the 2022 NBA champions, had to deal with, will have a difficult season next year. Ja and company might contend to win the Western Conference with playoff experience and a more developed squad, but the task will be challenging given how tough the West will be.
