“Pay That Man”: James Harden, Kevin Durant, Ja Morant and Other NBA Stars Go Bonkers as Lamar Jackson Stuns NFL World Despite 4th Quarter Choke
Follow Us
The NFL saw one of the most iconic games by Lamar Jackson. Carrying the Baltimore Ravens on his back, he alone took command of the first three quarters. However, in typical fashion, the team melted down in the fourth quarter. But Jackson’s historic night didn’t go unnoticed. The young Star left NBA stars like Kevin Durant and Ja Morant pushing for his payday.
Going into his final season on the rookie contract, Jackson has cemented himself as one of the elites. Being the second player in history to win a unanimous MVP, the Ravens wanted him back. Likewise, a $290 million extension came his way in the offseason. However, Action Jackson wanted a guaranteed sum of $200 million. Not meeting the middle ground, Baltimore might be seeing the last of Jackson.
However, the star QB has made sure to justify his demands so far. After a dominant show with 3 TDs in the first game, Jackson made history in his performance against the Miami Dolphins. While it ended in a loss, Kevin Durant, Ja Morant, and more were all fired up.

However, while Lamar Jackson was showered in praise, the Ravens sank. Making history for the worse, a fourth-quarter meltdown followed the heroics. Blowing a 21-point lead, the Dolphins took over to win 42-38. They became the first team to lose with such a margin in the last 12 years. In fact, this was by far one of the worst losses in franchise history. Jackson’s night went in vain. However, he proved once again that he is deserving of all he asks.
