Ja Morant erupted to tie a career-high 47 points against the Golden State Warriors tonight and LeBron James couldn?t help but react to the amazing performance.

Morant hoped for a better outcome tonight after losing the opening game in a tight battle. Thanks to his nasty and gritty performance today, the young gun went out there and won the game for his team.?

His performance today highlighted why many people actually believed he should have been in the MVP conversation rather than receiving Most Improved Player. LeBron James is one of them. And, after witnessing the phenomenal performance today, the King couldn’t help but tweet about it.??

James called Morant ?a flat-out star? and implied that his ascension as an All-Star since getting drafted should have prevented him from winning the MIP. He also took shots at the sportswriters and broadcasters who voted for Morant to win the MIP as he said. ?Real basketball brains know. Not the majority of dweebs who don’t even watch basketball on those voting ballots.? LeBron said in another tweet, “Ja too special to be in a MIP conversation.”

Simply put, James believed that many people undervalued or disregarded the Grizzlies’ youngster by including him on the MIP list. However, he isn’t the only one who feels this way. When Ja Morant received MIP, many supporters claimed the same thing.
