Memphis Grizzlies: Ja Morant featured on Kimmel’s NBA ‘Mean Tweets’
Whether it’s getting into hijinks with friends or posting about his offseason training, Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has been popping up all over social media this offseason.
The All-NBA player has been seen hanging out with the likes of Jack Harlow, Taylor Rooks, and Odell Beckham Jr. this young offseason in addition to hitting the gym and working on his game.
Add a cameo on Jimmy Kimmel Live! during the NBA Finals to Morant’s busy offseason, which has been award-winning in addition to being star-studded.
Memphis Grizzlies star appears on Jimmy Kimmel for Mean Tweets
Ja Morant appeared in a popular segment that features NBA players reading mean tweets about themselves and watching them react in real time.
Morant was shown reading a tweet that was making fun of the way he competes on the court.
“Ja Morant needa chill,” the Grizzlies star read. “He be going Dummy. Still a soft a** bit** made goofy tho.”
Morant paused for a beat and said, “That one really hurt my feelings.”
Joining the Grizzlies superstar in the bit were fellow NBA players Russell Westbrook, Jalen Green, Evan Mobley, Darius Garland, Saddiq Bey, Anthony Edwards, Franz Wagner, Jalen Suggs, Andre Drummond, Dejounte Murray, Jarret Allen, Scottie Barnes, Zach LaVine, Tyrese Haliburton, and NBA legend Gary Payton.
Morant plays with an incredible chip on his shoulder. It’s unlikely that he’s phased by the trash talk from haters.
With the 2022 NBA Draft about on the horizon and then free agency, we’ll soon learn who will be on the court with Morant during the 2022-23 NBA season.
One thing you can expect is Morant and the Grizzlies coming to terms on a lucrative contract extension, which will likely award him the richest contract in franchise history.
