Video: Ja Morant Talks Trash To Steph Curry After 47-Point Performance In Game 2 Win


 


Ja Morant completely out-played Steph Curry in Game 2 of the Golden State Warriors vs. Memphis Grizzlies second-round series. The two teams have a burgeoning rivalry, with the Grizzlies eliminating the Warriors from the play-in tournament last season and stealing the #2 seed this season after the Warriors went through a winter slump.


Considering the list of strong performances Morant has against Steph, the younger point guard has to make it known to Curry that they are on a relatively level playing field, as Morant had a 47-point performance to give the Warriors a tough loss tonight. 


Ja and the Grizzlies don't run from the smoke, they run up the chimney. As a result, Morant was feeling great after their strong win and decided to talk trash to Steph Curry as Curry walked by him at the end of the game. 


Ja chirping Steph 👀



Veterans do not like to be disrespected, so Curry will probably let that moment sit with him and come back stronger in Game 3. This is still the most gifted shooter in NBA history and if he goes hot, there are very few ways teams can beat GSW. Curry has lost just two Playoff series' since 2015, with both losses coming in the NBA Finals (2016 and 2019). This is the first time Morant has made the second round.


Ja has been doing this to every opponent, no matter the status they hold within the league. What if Curry responds and actually out-plays Ja? Curry is simply the better player, and even Ja would concede that. But no player should ever concede something like that in the middle of a series, especially if it's in the playoffs.


Game 3 will have the Warriors back in their home arena and a raucous crowd to give the Grizzlies a tough welcome. With them behind him, Curry might make Morant regret talking the way he did after Game 2.

Video Of How 'Fake Klay Thompson' Got Past The Warriors Security And Gets Shots On The Court

  The Golden State Warriors ended up winning Game 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics and took a 3-2 lead in the series. It feels certain that the Dubs will win this series and win their fourth NBA Championship in the last eight years. While winning the finals will mean a lot for every player on the Dubs' roster, it will certainly mean more for Klay Thompson. Klay was sidelined due to injuries over the last two seasons and made a comeback this season. Finishing off the season with a ring will certainly be the cherry on top for him. Speaking of Klay Thompson, an incident took place around a certain lookalike of the Warriors' sharpshooter. We are sure you must remember the 'Fake Klay Thompson' who got famous a few years ago. Prior to Game 5 of the series, Fake Klay snuck into the Chase Center and got shots up before the matchup began. NBA fans found this hilarious, but it seems like the Warriors organization didn't. He was handed a lifetime ban from th...

Dennis Rodman Once Said He, Michael Jordan, And Scottie Pippen Could Lock Up LeBron James: "LeBron Is So Easy To Play. He’s So F**king Easy To Play. He Doesn’t Have Any Moves."

  If there is something that will never end it is the comparison between players from different eras. Even in that niche, most comparisons revolve around the legendary players from the Chicago Bulls. Yes, we are talking about the likes of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman. A perfect example of that was seen by fans back in a 2019 interview featuring Dennis Rodman. The Worm was asked about his thoughts on guarding none other than LeBron James. Rodman replied: (starts at 6:06) "You know who could lock up LeBron? Me, Mike, and Scottie could. F*ck yeah. I would have locked his a** up. LeBron is so easy to play. He’s so f*cking easy to play, he don’t have any moves. Only move he has is streak down the line. He ain’t got no moves. Where he going?? Where is he going that’s quick? That’ll be sh*t, you can stop that. Scottie Pippen would have shut his f*cking a** down quick before I get to him. His game is too simple, he’s just big. I’m 260 and 6’8” and 6’9”, that’s the onl...

Bill Russell Is Only The 5th NBA MVP To Pass Away After Kobe Bryant, Moses Malone, Wes Unseld, And Wilt Chamberlain

  The NBA just celebrated its 75th Anniversary last season, showing that the league is much younger than most of the major sports leagues worldwide. As a result, most of the legends of the game are still around and are allowing younger players to get first-hand advice from them.  Bill Russell was the most legendary player from the '60s and dominated the league by winning 11 championships in 13 years. He also won 5 NBA MVP awards in his era, proving that his defensive prowess is something that could catapult him to be an MVP despite never averaging more than 19 points a season.  Russell passed away yesterday and became only the 5th NBA MVP in history to pass away. The first one to do so was Wilt Chamberlain in 1999, followed by Moses Malone in 2015, Kobe Bryant and Wes Unseld in 2020, and now Russell in 2022. These are legends of the game, and it is heartbreaking to know that they aren't amongst us anymore. This observation was made by Reddit user u/WeaponFactory. Chamberl...
