The Memphis Grizzlies are in an excellent position given their 19-11 record for the season so far. The Grizzlies are currently second in the Western Conference, despite losing their last two matchups. So, for Ja Morant to be confident in himself and his team is hardly surprising. Yet fans on social media felt otherwise, calling out Morant on his recent bold claims. 

The Grizzlies have developed an excellent young core in the past few years. And it isn’t just Ja Morant or Jaren Jackson Jr. Players like Desmond Bane and Dillon Brooks have arguably elevated their game this season. Furthermore, Morant has been putting up record-breaking performances. 

Ja Morant is very confident about his team’s chances

So, in an interview with Malika Andrews, Grizzlies star Ja Morant may have said something that did not sit well with the rest of the NBA fanbase. Andrews asked Morant if there was any team they had to look out for.

And Morant immediately mentioned the Boston Celtics. When Andrews asked Morant if there was any team in the Western Conference he ought to look out for, Morant answered, “Nah. I’m fine in the West.”

“This Man Is Ridiculous”: NBA World Goes Gaga as Ja Morant Turns Into Stephen Curry vs Zion Williamson’s Pelicans

One fan tweeted, “Should worried about getting past the warriors. Before he thinks about the Celtics. JA should be humbled. He has beaten no one. And proven nothing.” 

Here are some more reactions from NBA Twitter:

Many fans trolled Morant and the Grizzlies for getting eliminated in the second round of the NBA playoffs and losing their last matchup against the Denver Nuggets.

Morant counting out Stephen Curry and the Warriors

Ja Morant’s claim goes to show the confidence he has in himself and his team this season. They have certainly been on a roll as of late, but for Morant to count out some of the best teams in the West, specifically the reigning NBA champions, may have been going too far for some fans. Notably, though, the Golden State Warriors are currently languishing in the bottom half of the Western Conference table.

But to count out Stephen Curry and the Warriors, who defied all odds to win the NBA championship last season, is arguably a risky thing to do. Even though Curry is out with an injury right now, the Warriors will likely be in playoff contention at the end of the season.
