Ja Morant’s 2024-25 NBA season with the Memphis Grizzlies was marked by injuries and team struggles. Despite having an impressive season overall, Morant was limited to 50 games due to various ailments, averaging 23.2 points, 7.3 assists, and 4.1 rebounds per game.
However, he still managed to lead the Grizzlies to the eight seed, although the team’s championship hopes were dashed in the first round, as they lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder in four games, with Morant suffering a hip injury in Game 3.
Following the disappointing season, speculation about Morant’s future with the Grizzlies intensified, with fans and some analysts wondering if he could be moved.
In the midst of these uncertainties, Morant captured attention with a lighthearted moment involving Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James. A clip shared by Bleacher Report has been gaining traction on social media. The video showed Morant being offered a shot of James’ tequila brand, Lobos 1707.
In response, Morant humorously mispronounced James’ name as “LeeBron” before mimicking some of LeBron’s iconic quotes, including “It’s our ball. It ain’t our ball… Akron, this is for you!”
