Morant left everyone speechless as explosive as in the entire season: 25 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists for the young point guard who will undoubtedly be in this year’s All-Star Game.
However, toward the end of the game he had a run-in with a fan wearing the Warriors jersey. The curiosity is that … he was just a kid!
Ja Morant on the kid with the Steph jersey ?
"He was disrespectful with that jersey on. We in Memphis. It looked like he wanted to cheer but he had that jersey on. I apologized to him but in that moment, bro, take that jersey off and then dap me up." pic.twitter.com/t5NFzc2jcq

In a tremendous tray from Ja Morant in the final seconds that defined the game, the player went to celebrate with the local fans, but he stared at a boy in a Golden State T-shirt who asked him for a high-five.
"No mercy for the little kid?"
Ja Morant: "Nah. We in Memphis." ?

Although at the time it seemed like a bad attitude, the player had the chance to explain it after the game:
“It was disrespectful to have that shirt. We are in Memphis. It seemed like I wanted to encourage, but I had that shirt. I apologize, but at that moment take off the shirt and then say hello. Someone pass me your information and I will send you a shirt myself”.
The base was in the eye of the storm and knew how to come out with subtlety. Many remembered the personality of great stars such as Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, and compared it to this situation that Morant experienced.
For now, the player has shown in Memphis that he can win games on his own and playing in all aspects of basketball and the comparisons to Jordan are getting stronger since the game.
