"When Steph Curry Celebrates Like This, People Don’t Have An Issue, But As Soon As It’s Ja Then He’s 'Cocky' And 'Goofy'.": NBA Fan Points Out The Hypocrisy Of Ja Morant Haters

Ja Morant is having a historic series against the Golden State Warriors in the second round of the playoffs. He single-handedly led the Grizzlies to a win in Game 2 with a sensational fourth-quarter performance. The thing that Ja does that is different from others is that he treats every win like a big win.

Morant has a tendency to hop on Twitter post-game and start tweeting out messages to all the people who have been hating on him. This is something the Grizzlies have embraced this year, but as they keep winning, people have started taking an issue with it.

With every win, the hate toward Ja increases, so a fan decided to step in and share his thoughts on the fans being hypocritical towards Ja because if Steph Curry was the one to celebrate like that, people would have no problem with it.

More fans have stepped in to defend Ja after this tweet went viral. However, there is an argument to be made that Curry has earned his position in the league to trash talk others as he is already a 3-time champion and a 2-time MVP (only unanimous MVP in league history).

When Steph Curry celebrates like this people don’t have an issue, but as soon as it’s Ja then he’s “cocky” and “goofy” 🤔

steph a proven goat of the game, win or lose. ja talkin like hes jordan, dancin like shakira, and aint never won or did nothin. plus curry aint walkin around yellin too small and mcgriddling logos stop it.

It’s almost like one is a 3 time champion, best shooter of all time and the other still has to prove himself

Steph is certified while Ja hasn’t done anything

Ja is in year 3, has been to the playoffs twice and is currently in the second round. He can be as cocky as he wants to be, people need to just appreciate the swag and move on.

He’s got rings, broken records, what has ja done? ROTY??? MIP???

While it is fair to use Curry's accolades as an example for Ja to 'earn' the same stature, it is unfair to dismiss Morant and his reason to celebrate completely. His Grizzlies team has overperformed all three seasons he has played in the league. They narrowly missed the Playoffs in 2020 when they were expected to be one of the worst teams in the league, made the playoffs in 2021 when expected to miss it, and have been one of the best teams in the league this season.

If celebrations can trigger such arguments, fans need to refocus on the game, because that is what makes players like Morant and Curry incredibly special.

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...

Chris Paul blows fifth 2-0 series lead of career, an NBA record, and the legacy birds are going to be singing

The Phoenix Suns were gutted by Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks in Game 7 on Sunday, trailing by as many as 46 points in a 123-90 beating that somehow wasn't even as close as a 33-point margin would indicate. Chris Paul didn't make his first basket until the Suns were down by 40 at the 7:26 mark of the third quarter. He had one point at halftime. Finished with a completely useless 10 and a minus-39 for the game, the worst single-game point differential of his career. I don't want to make this about Paul's legacy. The Suns didn't lose because of Paul, though he surely didn't do anything to help them win. He was one of the five best point guards to ever play before this game tipped, and no, one game didn't change that. Paul's late-career surge has been a masterful chapter in a Hall of Fame career, and many of the playoff collapses to which he's been connected have been, at least to a degree, a product of some of the cruelest injury luck imagina...
