"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.

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...

From Deep: At long last, Nikola Jokic's Nuggets can envision getting to the top of the mountain

Jamal Murray tore his ACL on April 12, 2021. Leading up to that night, he'd been playing at an All-NBA level for two months: In a 25-game stretch, Murray averaged 24.1 points on .509/.459/.935 shooting splits, 4.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists. He was even more efficient than he was in the bubble playoffs, and his defense had improved, too. Murray only got to play with Aaron Gordon, the Denver Nuggets' big trade-deadline addition, for five games. They won them all except the one in which Murray got injured. In 110 minutes, their new starting five scored slightly more efficiently than any iteration of the Kevin Durant-era death lineup in Golden State and defended like a top-five team. Two Nikola Jokic MVP awards later, Murray is back. So is Michael Porter Jr., who signed a five-year extension about a year ago and needed back surgery nine games into the 2020-21 season. The Nuggets remember how easily everything slid into place with Gordon in the mix. Newcomer Kentavious Caldwell-Pop...

Michael Jordan On LeBron James: "He's An Unbelievable Player, He's One Of The Best Players In The World... I'm A Fan Of His, I Love Watching Him Play..."

Even before he made it to the NBA, LeBron James was already compared to the greatest player of all time, Michael Jordan. His Airness made a huge impact on the league, winning six championships in eight years, dominating rivals every night, and becoming one of the best two-way players in NBA history. During his career, and even during his retirement, many players were compared to Jordan, but nobody could live up to the expectations. LeBron James was deemed 'The Chosen One' when he was a teenager, and comparisons between him and MJ never stopped coming. They have mutual respect, and the biggest proof of that came during the 2022 All-Star Game, where MJ and Bron embraced each other in Cleveland. James would post a big pic of his first and most recent encounter with Jordan, paying respect to the man that inspired him. Just like the Los Angeles Lakers superstar has always shown his admiration for James, Jordan has done the same before. Back in 2020, during a press co...
