NBA Twitter flabbergasted with Ja Morant’s response on NBA Finals
Ja Morant has shown NBA works what is capable doing in this 2021/2022 season
Recently crowned MIP, Morant has put the small market Grizzlies franchise on the global map. The recent ASG at Cleveland saw Morant start in his very first appearance.
Big 12 beat the likes of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, and Joel Embiid, leading the league in points in the paint. Morant averaged 16.6 PITP, becoming the first guard to do so since the NBA started tracking PITP data in 1996.
The Grizzlies guard showed us glimpses of a young Derrick Rose and Allen Iverson. Unfortunately, Morant and co failed to replicate their regular-season success in the playoffs, having some misfortunes, with Morant’s knee injury and Dillon Brooks’ suspension.
In what many believe had Morant not been injured and Dillon not suspended, we would’ve had a different result in the western conference semi-finals. Unfortunately, that is the nature of playoffs, where availability is the best ability.
Nonetheless, Morant’s response to the 2022 NBA champion had Twitter flooded with interesting reactions.

Being confident is good. It helps you and your craft. Now, being cocky while dismissing the talents of others is a whole different thing. I still like you JA.

I thought he suffered a knee injury not a head injury

The NBA is THE destination for every basketball player. Growing up, every ball player used to dream of making it to the league. There are some, who from the very beginning, show that they are destined for the big league. Players like LeBron James, Zion Williamson, etc. On the other hand, we have our late bloomers, who show potential, but not enough to make it to the big stages.
Ja Morant was one of these players. In high school, Morant was just 5’7 in his freshman season. His dad, Tee Morant, got worried and got a big tractor tire and put it in his backyard. He made Ja jump on it 25 times after each drill. This helped Ja develop his bounce, which is now known throughout the NBA. In 2014, Ja averaged 33-35ppg in an AAU tournament, with future #1 pick Zion Williamson as his teammate.
