Somehow, Ja Morant still has something to prove
Memphis Grizzlies rookie Ja Morant has been the main breakout player this season; but somehow, he still seems to have something to prove.
January 14th, 2020. The Memphis Grizzlies are facing the Houston Rockets in their second regular season matchup. About halfway through the first quarter, rookie sensation Ja Morant brings the ball up towards the top of the key. He’s maybe 30 feet out from the hoop, and his defender–James Harden— is giving him about seven or so feet of space. Morant sees that, shoots a 3-pointer, and sinks it. That’s when those immortal words were uttered.
“Tell that (expletive) about me.”
