Hey atleast i could respect him facing the heat after all that talking 😂
Can’t say the same about Brooks😅
Yup
Brooks though? 😂
It's required to take podium or he get fined
The Lakers were lucky their key players got hurt.
Ja and the Grizzlies have a lot of growing up to do. Hopefully after this season he takes huge steps in that direction. With big talent comes big expectations.
Where "was" the talent?
@@ShutDFckOffso ure saying Ja is not talented
What about the 69 lgtb hair color 😂 now you know why he bends over while dancing.
Oh yeah, especially Brooks ! They are going to be a contender for years. With more experience, they can get a championship.
They should practice more and learn when to talk and stop talking and just play the ball.
“I said it, I’ll deal with it” - real man approach. Take notes Brooks!
Only notes to take is look at this “man” ‘s past year and do the opposite.
No. Stop supporting/excusing stupidity. It used to be what softies said “one side said” was horrible-but, “hush and play ball”
Brooks went into hiding 😂😂
Ja Morant is an arrogant idiot! He is def not taking accountability. If he didnt have a shoe brand, he would have not shown up. Nike was like we aint having it, get yo azz out there, show some sportsmanship and face those reporters cuz we Own you 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Brooks a punk for hiding, I said it. Ja is younger and took responsibility and brooks few yrs off 30 and went straight home...PUNK
Man I didn’t expect him to say what he said. Hope he sticks to it, as a fan of the sport I hope we can see his full potential
I hope but knowing this generation he will not
lolwat??? Allready) Kangaroo jump and ...thats all.... useless ghett4 kid without dribbl, shot. forget about this clown. Next season mb he be in a Jail
He’s a 🥜 case 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bounced in the first round 🤦♂️
They are nowhere near a dynasty
When he learns humility
@@Karl671 you old on CZcams seem like yo generation fucked up first
Meanwhile Dillon Brooks has gone into hiding 😂
He might be missing next season.. no contract extension for him.
@@troardlevant824 they can upgrade at his position
why does he do that seriously... it's wack
@@jjones2509 oh he coming back
Dillon Brooks was correct. Game 6 was a Breakout game! For D-Lo Russell!
glad to see him taking accountability for his off-court actions. Practice in the summer and come back better next season.
I guess he wasn't serious about making better decisions while off the court. Another vid of him and his "bro" Dtap just surfaced with Ja flashing a gun. SMDH!
He said the same shit last year. He's too stupid to talk smack every time
He was injured he played good
@@goahead4310not good enough🤣🤣
He still a buster🤣🤡
Morant 😁👍 metoo super hum ble ❤
"I said it; I'll deal with it." Taking responsibility is what leadership is all about. Respect.
talk is talk
started with the excuses though
Ja Morant is an arrogant blithering idiot! He is def not taking accountability. If he didnt have a shoe brand, he would have not shown up. Nike was like we aint having it, get yo azz out there, show some sportsmanship and face those reporters cuz we Own you 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@garv8438 execuses maybe but also facts
You really think just saying what he said is 'taking responsibility'? This country is in trouble. Words are just that, stop praising these youths for being D students and brushing their teeth. The bar is set soooooo f-ing low. But then again, it is Memphis on a whole.
Dillon the Gremlin ask for 40, later James goes 20/20 on rebounds and points for the first time in his career , and now tonight his team loses by 40. 😂 is safe to say his wish was granted, good work Brooks !!
Well shoot if you do the math he got double for his trouble: 80!
Bros defeated. Even tho players lost from the playoffs, they still get to go home to their big mansions, spend time wit they family and literally have the whole summer to go on trips and do whatever 😭. Man NBA players have the life fr
You have the exact same thing just onna much smaller scale 🤷🏾
A lot of them spend a lot of time in rehab and some have uncertain futures. Not everyone is a superstar like Ja. They also can't do whatever. They still have to stay in shape.
While true that's only the case for some, some spend time healing injuries, some may not even have a job the next season
Love yours my brother. Love yours.
Love Yourz
Brooks is already 100 miles and runnin rn 😂
He is flying to Canada already lol.
He left a cloud of smoke on some road runner shit 😂😂😂😂
He was right about Bron being old though. DLo and AD were the best players for the Lakers.
@@upfulsoul826 no he was just being disrespectful saying shit about someone age. Didn't have to insult
100 miles of running and still got 1 more to go whatever Ice Cube said. Lol
Happy for Ja, sometimes you need to be humbled down to motivate you to get better. He is a great player definitely with a bright future ahead of him. He just needs to control his mouth and his actions. Everything will just be fine.
Agree they got the talent... But they talk much and disrespect much... Wasted talent if they use trashtalk as their motivation
😂😂😂Him and the grizzlies are a bunch of clowns. Glad he’s going home
@@Rjhane24 they’re children of course they’re going to talk too much lmao
@russelljohnson437 Children? Naw these are men, their actions make them appear as children or teenagers
Humble and Ja does not sit well in same line.
Humility is the first lesson to learn. Every team is dealing with injuries and health issues. Just gotta stay humble and not chirp until the deal is sealed.
Lol you right Ja. Cause Adams & Clarke make up the 40 pt difference between Lakers & Grizz tonight. Ja acts like they had Bill Russell & Scottie Pippen out. Cmon now
That’s 20 rebounds In between those two mans alone and paint defense, which means more bodies to throw at AD definitely would’ve made a difference
@@tyresecrockett7651 ad aint the scorer tonight tho
its d'lo
@@tyresecrockett7651 the lakers won tonight because of d'lo being hot that game
And ad has deciphered Ja. He not even blocking ja. Ad grabbing the ball from ja.
@@akito07 Yeah ad's 5 blocks and 14 boards didnt really do that much it was all dlo frfr
Everyone applauding Ja and it’s cool what he’s doing by owning up to all the talking they’ve done all season however, if they just kept that confidence but kept their mouths closed- more ppl would be rooting for them instead of throwing their previous statements back at them. Just play ball and let the skills and Wins talk for you
Every one don't have to be a model citizen to hoop all this shutup and dribble shit is for the birds. He ain't no quiet player jus like in history players talked shit but now yall want ppl to be a weirdo foh. If u don't like to hear them talk watch the games on mute..
literally 😭
What season was this for ja? 4th? 5th? Calm down he'll get there...
Respect For making Stand and Be the Man and Learn From It and be aware of Discipline that is a must in order to be Successful.
Hell of a Player.
Keeping up the good work
I would luv to hear from Dillon the villain 😂
villains make everything interesting, dillon is a clown, he makes it funny, dont ever call dillon a villain, its a disrespect to the other real villains 🤣🤣🤣
Dillon the Clown more like 😂
@@saz19s8 YESSSS!!!!!!
He's already half way to China at the moment.
Literally a 0% chance that MEM resigns D.Brooks
Just call him dillon bricks lol
good lesson for youngers
hv to learn to respect others
everyone has their values
This is so satisfying to see Ja humbled. I'll give him credit for actually showing up instead of avoiding the media like before, but he still looks like a damn fool for all the trash he talked.
Agreed. But he could’ve given Lakers credit. He basically just said they didn’t play well and that’s why they lost.
@@Teedee777 he’s not wrong tho like Fr they were missing 2 defensive anchors and their main rebounder so Anthony Davis was grabbing every board which is what gave them the lead in 2 of the games
@@izzy2971A lost is a lost, that's how people treat Lebron, in 2015 Finals Lebron played without Irving and Love and the starting center and when Lebron was 23 and took a very bad team to the finals and played against a dynasty team, well people don't say Lebron has 4 lost in the finals people always say 6 lost in the finals.
@@Hi-cq2hm you done being on your knees
@@Hi-cq2hm *loss
He’s getting there. Reflection, acknowledgment and maturity. It’s a process.
He'll be OK. I was way looser at his age and I'm OK now
Bro it’s not even ja why people don’t like this team 🤣I love watching ja play but that Nigga brooks is hot dog ass, on da set niggas wanna talk shit to the goat when they ain’t do shit. Asked for 40 and you got it Brooks 🤣
he acting like that because he is embarrassed, but wait next year when he starts talking about the west again 😂😂😂😂
Mad respect to ya Ja !!!! You're young Bron will be retiring soon. Don't feel bad the whole east went through this until he left 😂😂😂
Bron isn't leaving Anytime soon he will be playing Another 10 years..
Mad respect for what? For using excuses?? Haha this guy is a clown!
@@Grandmatabbyloooool😂
😂😂😂😂
He‘ll never be good in west there is to much talent there young talent. The lakers are only gonna build experience and grow with into all stars, these young players along with the kings and okc. He’ll prolly be kicked out the league this offseason thinkin he can wave pistols around
Ja morant "im fine in the beach now"
Love Ja and what theGriz bring it’s refreshing and brings back some 90s vibes coming from a Suns fan looking forward to those games next year
Ja is a significant talent, younger than most who are given the keys to a team and obviously trying to figure it out. Rarely are players like Lebron who can lead a young couple without drama. Hopefully, he gets more chances in his career to prove himself right as a leader.
Do yall read yall comments or at least think about wat u saying before u say or maybe you just yoing
@@upt3wardsoulja Clown spelling asking questions. Makes sense
There are a lot of young players out there who have been given the keys early and haven’t acted like he has man. Luka, Tatum, Joker, SGA etc. They’re not acting out like this.
PG13 was out there making Lebron look human 10 years ago and just getting on with it at his age. Ja is immature and cocky.
@@R7SOUL he’s the biggest hypocrite I’ve seen all year😂😭
Hopefully this is the last time he needs to be given "chances" !!!! Forget all that
Excuses Excuses Excuses 😂 hate when mf use Health as Excuse every playoff somebody is injured or not playing 100%
I agree. It's the go to answer.
*I'm 50/50 on this one.*
He didn’t really use any excuse lol he point where they got dominated and said even with the guys we have we gotta do better
its a valid excuse any team missing key players are at a disadvantage
There is no STAR in Memphis besides Ja Morant so when he is down. It's over. It'snot excuse if you had brain.
I like the way he acknowledged his mistakes and how hes working on getting better .. Goodluck youngster
Great post game interview.
Still a beast! Next year Ja! Go Lakers
As a Laker fan, the Grizzlies needed to experience this disappointment. They will be fine and can use this off-season to really evaluate their approach to the game moving forward
it feels so weird seeing them read their answers of some thng but i love. Ja ,my fav player
He’s growing. You love to see it.
When Morant started with bringing up health, my first thought was he didn't learn and was making excuses. But then he said he'll own his comments about fine in the west, and admitted to needing to improve off-court stuff. So signs of humility and learning for Memphis
Humility takes hard work. People gotta give these cats time to mature. It won't be night and day
"I was out there battling" 10 pts in elimination game LMAOOOOOOOO
With an injured wrist
No big’s to create space in the paint his main weapon and AD was blocking him most of the time. Watch the game not the highlights
@@kertwally Fox for the Kings have a broken finger. Honestly, Ja was really out of control in this series. He can get to the hoop but isnt really in control when he gets there.
@@tonyOn1ce a broken finger is not the same
I think this team has some maturing to do. Humble is the way. It starts with him which he already admitted that he has to be better off court as well as on and make better decisions.Great player though.
A healthy Grizzlies team probably does push this series to 7 games, and heck, they may have even won. But this is why you don't say "we fine in the west". In order to get to the Finals, so much has to go right, some of it beyond your control and there is always some luck involved. Control what you can control, play as well as you can and let the pieces fall where they may all while keeping your mouth shut. Running your mouth like they do, not only tempts fate, but also adds extra motivation to the opposing teams when facing you. That team has A LOT of maturing to do.
As a lakers fan I agree. Wish Adams would have played and everyone was healthy so there wouldn’t be no excuses.
I still see them loosing with Adams on rotation
@@styvoll2004 It's quite possible
@@styvoll2004idk who wins but having Adams/Clarke makes it a different series. Those 2 combined for 18ppg & 17rpg. They're the reason for them being #1 in rebs & a top 2nd chance points team. AD might have still went off but he didn't have to face the strongest man in the NBA on the boards for a full series so who knows. That would have been a much bigger team. Tillman would be the 4th guy instead of a primary big. That depth would allow JJJ to be more aggressive on defense. Basically a stronger interior would have put less strain on their perimeter defense.
makes a lot of excuses and then says not using them as excuses 😅
Exactly...he needs to grow up
How
@@maxos-4135 you just hatin atp
He is being asked about what hurt them the most he just gotta give a answer and explain it, then mention even didn't have their big bodies out there got be better without them, stop
Bruh 😂😂 I get what you mean but he not really using those as excuses you just hatin at this point 💀
Good luck next season, you guys did an amazing job, yes tonight u guys might have been a little exhausted but over all great series
Don't blame it on exhaustion they just played crappy ball😳
all series laid bricks
They lost by 40. That job was not good. 😂😂😂😂
Damn ja another gun!?! He must have meant wild Wild West…
2:25 If you wanna hear about the “I’m fine in the west”
this young man is in DENIAL
Not just a river in Egypt
next he'll by walking by DE PYRAMIDS
This is what carrying the L looks like....Mad respect for not hiding
At least he spoke after a lost and with injury...salute
It's OK to mention injuries that is a part of the game. But it was most important for him to acknowledge he was part of the problem and vow to work on himself and get better. Ja is one of the most exciting players in the league....but no doubt his off court antics hurt the team this year and they really was not the same after he came back with the 2 bigs hurt. They need to reflect on stop talking and just focus on winning basketball.
Brother... what a player!
Can we get a “You Know” counter!!?
I stopped counting at 73 😂
He's the best at saying "you know".
He is, you know.
this is similar to Rui's post-game game 1 interview 😆 You know. But it's understandable since English isn't his main language
Greatness comes with maturity.
This is exactly why I wanted to hear from him and Brooks because they were the ones doing all the talkin JA and Banes showed up the rest of them played scared.. oh yea and JJJ
No Brooks?
❤ 1st man Ja mentioned Steve 😍 no excuses COME BACK STRONGER work EVERY DAY every single day DOG ! JA MANNING UP 💪🏽taking responsibility and OWNING that WORK WORK and WORK get it done NEXT SEASON just around the corner 🤙
That thumbnail tho 😂😂😂
Glad
The Lakers humbled them ! Especially Dillion Brooks!
The crazy thing is, I think most of us would cheer on the Grizzlies if they just humbled themselves. Ja has that talent we love to watch but they just need to be humble. Other than that, it’s fun rooting against them. I think we all can agree we love what the Kings are doing right now. Kings are like the humble Grizzlies team
couldve been a special team outside of memphis due to talent, but unfortunately they offer more to the world as douchebags so everyone dislikes them. i dont feel bed for people getting what they deserve. the memphis douchebag dynasty.
Bro they are an young excited team. Let them live and just laugh it off. Atleast they aren’t stomping on peoples chest. They’ll get there eventually. Y’all can deal with shit talking
@@maddiexxx878 these arent children. they are grown ass professional entertainers. i LOVE seeing idiots eat crow!!!
Right on the money fam
on god
thats the only reason every body is praing for thier downfall
This man needs to watch tony parker footage on how to properly use his speed to drive to the basket and finish. Wild and reckless forays to the rim leads to nothing but greater chance for injury
Soon as he sat down I started rolling!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Grizzlies are still a young team that needs growth, I think whenever these star players become so good early on, the expectations exceed reality sometimes. If they don’t accelerate their timeline too much and allow for development, they can win a title in a few years.
Experiencw vs young guy.
Kings are young as well and you don’t see them sayin and doing stupid stuff.
@@AnimeComicBlerd I care more about how they play than what they say, regardless they need to mature on and off the court
@@dedinabbas1167 I agree
They got 40’d that’s a damn shame smh 😂
That's some Poetic justice right there. You couldn't write a better script 😅
Got beat by a group of men on a fkn MISSION......I am glad to see Ja back .......I have been sober since April 28 of 2018.....🙏🏼🙏🏻🙏🏽
Get well Ja Morant see you next season for get the press get well 💯💯💯💯💯
Future 2K Box cover right there, the way he goes straight at guys no matter how big they are is plain awesome. Onward and upward
Overrated. 10 points in a closeout and got locked by a white boy named “Austin”.
Its cool to see , but it worries me too, man. I feel like he needs to learn to pick n choose when to do it. Sometimes it feels unnecessary and he has a risk of getting injured from going airborne. He's young though I'm sure he'll learn
😂 that’s why kid only had 10 points. Just kept driving straight into a full lane and tossing the ball up
@@JToddBrooks-os6ws you know what's weird, has no one on the team or trainers talked to him about this? You would think someone would've mentioned it by now. Like I said he's young so hopefully he learns from his mistakes. When his hand bended backward when he tried to dunk on AD I thought he straight up snapped his fingers..I'm glad he didn't, And hope he can stay healthier throughout his career. He reminds me a little of how d rose use to dunk, but even d rose wasn't that careless you know?
Taking accountability, good to hear Ja. On to the next season.
He really was just happy he made it to the big leagues. Now he gotta be focused . Fuck the fame and just hoop. . He gone be more serious next yr watch
Well done!
After a Playoff Loss , a person's mind is racing all over, so Ja answered questions in a general manner,; I'm sure he he realizes the Lakers won, so it is , what it is!
I can't blame the injuries, but it was the injuries. - Ja
Still better than your favorite player- ME
Someone should ask if he still fine in the west and how the dynasty thing works.😂
Children are easily influenced and many of them do not have an older positive person who can take the place of a role model in their lives, and so personally, l have been beyond upset at Morant as kids look up to him. I hope from this loss and the things that led up to this loss; Ja genuinely matures from this. He seems to have regrets about how his behavior seems to have had a negative impact on the finish to their season. On a different note-
mental health is very a real thing that should be spoken about, and we should take it into consideration when we are dealing with certain ppl... No the less, l like the real accountability that he seems to show here. Praying for you brethren!!! OneLove
While I don't like all the talkin he did I do like that he stood on it and he understood what the backlash was going to be
Say what you want besides tonight jah was unreal this series lets go lakers
No he wasn't. He had one good game and it was hero ball. LOL. He's overrated.
GONE FISHIN' GRIZZLIES
dude had 1 good game. and had 10 points in a elem game.
Got smoked last year got smoked this year
Damn never seen so many hating ass niggas😂
So basically Ja: “yeah we ain’t have Adams, so next time we have him we will be better and win”
What did you want him to say? "We ain't have Adams, but next time we'll be worse and Adams will make no difference, so we'll lose". You're literally a prime example of social media herd-mentality lmao. People who have 0 confidence get pressed over confidence from others.
God blessed my brother 💪🏾💯🔥🔥🔥💨
Could someone explain to me why they even stopped trying at alll by the end of the second quarter. By third Bane and Morant were sitting?! Is he injured?
You'd never hear lebron ,kobe and any of the great dissing their opponents and disrespecting them live. They were crazy competitors who had a lot of respect for whoever they're facing. Hope this team learned something about humility and growth.
Great point. The disrespect towards opponents indicates lack of maturity. NBA players have every right to be confident but going up against other NBA players helps maintain a healthy humility you saw in Kobe and see in LeBron. It's a team game ultimately so individual eliteness doesn't give anyone room to disrespect the opponent. The surrounding cast many times make competitors pay for underestimating the superstar player.
All three of them did...what are you talking about?
@@hoopaswagg everybody loves getting on their knees that all
You’re crazy if u said they didn’t I’m Kobe biggest fan and he always did it. On and off the court lebron did it a lot too. Kobe even talked about his teammates
search Jay Fly Red - Will You Remember in the bar up there, will you remember tho>???>
Ja starts and ends all his sentences with “you know” 😂
😂
At least he showed up for the interview
Good luck ever having a team in the playoffs with no injuries, you need to find a way to win regardless
how many times did this guy said "you know" and "pretty much" 😂
Pretty much sums up the interview, you know?
@@dallastexas5653 you know you are pretty much right dude
“It’s a parade in his city yeah” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly 🤣🤣
Atleast hes MAN ENOUGH to own up to his comments & actions 👏🏽
Everyone is a little banged up at this part of the season. It all comes down to who wants it the most.
I respect the accountability
At least he showed up and did an interview. Where Dillon Brooks at now?! He got the 40 he was looking for 😂
Respect young one . Respect to you Mr Morant.
Absolutely no respect! Ja Morant is an arrogant blithering idiot! He is def not taking accountability. If he didnt have a shoe brand, he would have not shown up like Brooks.. Nike was like we aint having it, get yo azz out there, show some sportsmanship and face those reporters cuz we Own you 🤣🤣🤣🤣
A spoonful of humility for a team that must improve its behavior. Steven Adams had already warned them!
It’s a parade in my city!
more like block 🖐party 😂
@@tonypires7448 🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
You can tell he feels defeated. Luckily he's still young, he got time and definitely won't be his last playoff run. Just need to learn from past mistakes.
Poor baby
Ima bigfan
He does have a back up gig as singer of Outkast. 😂
I’m still skeptical on Jah man..he needs a lot more polishing although there’s no doubt he has spectacular athleticism and ability. He’s maturing a little bit after the gun incident but theoretically speaking of course, if was starting a franchise I might take a closer look at other options and eventually go in a different direction.
Ya me too just feels off after the gun incident
Any team would fall over themselves to sign him this dude is 100% Box Office.
@@Chris-wq3pecurrently a box office loser who got rejected by the hood 🤣🤣🤣
Lol who are you though ?? 😂😂😂😂 exactly be quiet thanks though
No you tweaking. Ja got flaws but he one of a kind bro can't let him go. get him better help
Better play than talking!
@4:07 that's the lady Malika Andrews n the other lady got fired from ESPN the jump.
"you know you know you know" its the you know you have to handle, you know to get to the you know. Do you know?
Hey shit happens. Much respect to bro for handling all this straight up!
He did the same thing last year. Only this time, he went to a strip club packing heat
Overrated. 10 points in a closeout and got locked by a white boy named “Austin”.
Give Ja credit he carried it like a man
Sounds like he is using injuries as an excuse. He won't give Lakers full credit. So he still has some growing up to do.

@@biozio186 you said this comment twice
@@moneygamez8034 funny. I only sent it once
@@biozio186 yeah but what’s he supposed to say? “We got exposed, lakers are our daddies and we need to make some personnel changes around here starting with Dillon Bricks”? He coulda made it sound like an excuse but instead talked about how valuable his teammates were and what they bring to the table. At least he didn’t duck the reporters in the locker room after wearing his shades indoors and slandering literal LeBron James
I'm glad he understands where he has to improve.
The reporter kinda fumbled on the question tho. He shoilda just asked ja straight up about the “im fine in the west”
Backfired
It's hard to hate a guy when he takes accountability like that💯
At least he's man enough to take questions
Respect earned even more boy played wit a broken hand
Ja didnt give the Lakers any credit here. We were injured, etc. He still needs to grow.
He didn't have to. He spoke on his himself, his team and their performance. Congrats and f*** you to the Lakers.
Salty grizz fan 😂^
giving reconition & thanks to your opponent is the highest praise reflected of you. It shows that you know and respect the opportunity you've been given on this level to experience what only few have, plus honoring your opponent for key in that experience & opportunity to grow. this is THE law of reciprocity.
@@Terrell101ify grizz is all talk warriors booted them last year and now the lakers 0 rings all talk
@LV41Anothr The Lakers are a very biased organization, and not once have they acknowledged Memphis when they were outplayed in the two games that Memphis defeated them. Their social media team didn't even post the final scores when they lost. Respect should go both ways. Yes, Memphis wrote a check that they couldn't cash in the end, but you can't force the opposing team to uphold standards and allow your favorite team to embark on a power trip just because.
