Ja Morant raps NBA Youngboy on first day back with Grizzlies
Ja Morant is one of the most gifted athletes in all of sports. For a man of his stature, being able to dunk like that is amazing. Drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies, Ja Morant is giving the franchise something they’ve never had before. Morant comes to Memphis giving this franchise their first explosive franchise player. Unlike the other Grizzlies legends, Ja is the first with true superstar appeal. However, the lifestyle he is trying to portray is hurting him. Last night was his first night back with the team.

Ja Morant came and redefined the Memphis Grizzlies from day one. In the 2010s, the Grizzlies built a solid team around Zach Randolph. During their first playoff run, they upset the number one seeded San Antonio Spurs in the first round. After that, the Grizzlies formed rivalries with the Clippers and Thunder. However, their run peaked in 2013, when the Grizzlies made their only Western Conference Finals appearance. The Grizzlies were swept by the Spurs in the 2013 Western Conference Finals. From there, the team slowly declined, until management broke the team up.
Ja Morant was drafted after the Memphis Grizzlies tanked. While he didn’t immediately turn the Grizzlies back into contenders, Ja immediately put them back in the headlines. His explosive dunks and energetic play helped breathe new life into the team. By 2022, the Grizzlies won their first division title, and sparked a rivalry with the Golden State Warriors. Here is where Ja’s behavior first made major headlines. It spiraled into the club incident. With his suspension over, Morant is back with the team. However, him reciting NBA Youngboy has sparked controversy.
