How To Destroy An NBA Legacy: The Downfall Of Ja Morant
Ja Morant was supposed to be the next face of the NBA.
The 2nd overall pick in the 2019 Draft, who quite literally ascended to NBA stardom with the Memphis Grizzlies, through his insane athletic talents, plus his innate clutch ability, Morant’s 2021 – 22 playoff run, giving the 2022 NBA Champion, Golden State Warriors a real challenge, was supposed to be the start of an epic journey.
However, from there, everything went downhill, and in today’s video, we explore why.

He wants to be a YN so fucking bad it's ruining him
I never knew Clay is so professional. He got insulted by Ja and responded as a business owner, just dismissing the insults and expressing how disappointing it is to see such talent be wasted by weak emotional control. I’m genuinely impressed because we forget that while we expect the Pros to set good examples for our kids, the pros are often just a few years removed from being kids themselves.
He is dumb. He will never be smart enough to stay out of his own way. In basketball and life.
A $75,000 fine for gun gestures after being warned about it. How stupid can you be. That’s more than a lot of people make in an entire year.
Dang, it’s no wonder his dad lives his life through Ja..! He’s always acting a fool
The effect of getting too much too young, and having nothing but yes-men in your corner.
Ja is good man. No doubt about that. It is just they get paid too much that they lost their way.
Hubris and lifestyle choices.
Wanna be gangster? And we all know how they end up.
An incredible talent wasted by hood thugery. It's just stupid.
The next a.i. the answer? Man stop it don’t disrespect them like that iverson and ja got 2 different totally styles of play. They both in they own lane ja is ja nun like iverson and a.i a legend.
Everyone focuses on the mentality stuff but low key he does not look quite the same as he did a few years ago physically, he's lost some of his bounce
Should make one about Jalen McDaniels
Kyrie had to do more shit for telling the truth about jews than Ja has pointing a gun at people and fighting an underage kid…fuck Adam Silver
He can't get out of his own way. What a dummy.
Ja the NBA's Papa Doc
I always said Ja Morant was supposed to be on that 2024 USA Olympic team not Anthony Edwards .
Just get this clown out of the league so he could finally live out his dream of being a fake gangster and actually be "in the hood"
Hes a dumb..
Your talent can take you there but can your Character keep you there?
Ja is the result of an athlete idolizing NBA Youngboy and pretending to be someone he’s not. Gang culture is killing his career.
Elvis out here catching strays from beyond the grave lol
It’s Antony Edwards era now 💪🏿🐜🐺
The league died in 2004. Who cares?
Morant is an 8 year old mentality trapped in a 27 years old man's body.
Bro let NBA youngboy music influence him too much. Living in fantasy land being a wangsta
Most deserved downfall of any star. He did this to himself.
Ja still has one of the most popular selling shoes and jerseys in the NBA
Come on how far can you fall when you’re not short?
"I'm fine in the west." LMAOOO
Downfall? When was he ever at the top? He was part of a good Grizzlies team for a year or two.
Forgot to mention Ja pointing a gun with laser point at Pacers staffers after a game in Indy
Memphis dropping Dillon Brooks because he was "problematic" did wonders for Brooks' career and absolutely hurt Ja Morant's
Biggest crash out of the NBA 😂 but he's rich so whatever 😂
Ja still heem
“I’m going to show who Ja really is.” He says before pretending to be a thug. This guy is a clown
We need to stop calling shit like this tragic. A fatal car accident due to mechanical failure is tragic. This shit is just some overpaid spoiled brats ego getting out of hand
Throwing the word legacy around kinda freely, aren't you?
You couldn’t pay em to not act like jungle dwellers
