Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Reactions as The Rock cooked Ja Morant while performing ‘You’re Welcome’ for flashing guns: “Just like Ja Morant, when he’s waving a gun.”
Ja Morant still can’t catch a break months removed from completing a 25-game suspension for waving a gun back in May last year. He was ripped by fans when he was sidelined to serve the punishment. The Memphis Grizzlies guard still can’t shake off the trolling after he returned and then later gave up due to a season-ending injury.On Friday, it was Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s turn to take a shot at him. Johnson has become a much more regular presence in WWE events over the past two months. He recently joined Smackdown in Glendale Arizona before headlining the same show in Dallas, Texas.
So much of our daily reality has shifted since the NBA’s 2019 season opener. Back then, in a pre-COVID dimension, a relatively unknown, short-haired Memphis Grizzlies rookie named Ja Morant came onto the scene like a tatted up meteor. Everything in those Zoom-less days somehow felt simpler, and more attainable.
Forget about his off-court mishaps. Something about Ja as a newcomer with a basketball in his possession as he zagged his way around — and above — defenders felt fiercely expressive, if not cathartic for the soul.
Ja Morant’s first run-in with the NBA about guns was in March 2023. He sat out eight games as punishment and willingly got counseling in Florida. “G12” met with Adam Silver and told him about his regrets and vowed to walk straight.Two months later, he was back at it again. Following an investigation, Silver announced Morant’s 25-game punishment in June 2023. He was to serve the punishment at the start of the 2023-24 NBA season.
