Ja Morant is in form of his life. The Memphis Grizzlies’ Point Guard put on a show against Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference semi-final and took Game 2, 106-101 to level the series. Morant dropped a playoff career-high 47 points in Game 2 in a thrilling game.
Meanwhile, Warriors star Stephen Curry had an average game as the “Three-pointer King”, hitting just three of the 11 three-point shots he attempted. Curry scored 27 points along with nine rebounds and eight assists.
Apart from the game, which went down to the wire, it was Ja Morant’s reaction after the final buzzer that is making the headlines. The Memphis star, who is always chirpy, was at it again, this time at Curry.
At the end of Game 2, as Morant and Curry walked toward each other after the game, Morant could be seen saying to Curry: “We’re gonna have some fun”.

However, many fans on Twitter called Morant’s behaviour “childish” and suggested the youngster to be humble.
“He needs to humble himself. 0 rings to 3 rings. he better watch out”, one Twitter user wrote.
“Glad I have someone new to hate. He is a great player but no class”, wrote the other user.
Check out some of the reactions:
I don't know why Ja feels he should talk smack to Steph. Has Steph ever insulted him? I think not. Steph must humble him; otherwise, the insults will continue.

Looking for one of the reasons Stephen Curry is one of the best basketball players in the world? His humbleness. Dude is a superstar, but we never see sim being arrogant like that.
