Drafted back in the 2019 NBA Draft with the second overall pick by the Memphis Grizzlies, Ja Morant certainly has a lot of potential in him. It took him just two seasons to have a breakout season and earn the first NBA All-Star appearance of his career.
Thanks to his sensational performances throughout the season, Morant also earned the nod to the All-NBA second team as well. The cherry on the top is that he carried the Memphis Grizzlies to the playoffs as well.
Behind Morant’s stunning performance, the Grizzlies went to the 2022 Western Conference Semifinals as well. Unfortunately, the eventual 2022 NBA champions, the Golden State Warriors, were too much for Morant.
Anyway, it is obvious that Morant has a bright future ahead of him and he’s only getting started. So it’s not surprising that he already has a huge fan following. But at the same time, Morant is someone who is not new to antics on and off the court. For example, he recently claimed that he’d cook Michael Jordan in his era.
Now, that’s a huge claim. Obviously, this didn’t sit well with many NBA fans. It’s his comments like these that have resulted in Morant already becoming one of the most hated players in the NBA as well.
But does Ja care? Absolutely not. In a recent tweet of his, he fired back at his haters in a unique way.

“They just be talkin. on all 10 wit WHOEVER. Wit another 30 on me.”
It seems abundantly clear that Morant couldn’t care less about his haters. He is certainly not letting it get into his head.
At the end of the day, despite being one of the most hated players in the NBA, Morant’s game is elite. He can give any opposing team a run for their money, and he’s proven this in the 2021-22 NBA season. But will Morant win an NBA Championship soon? There is possibly some more time left for that to happen.
