Jay Williams, after opinionating, expressed a few points regarding his claims. He started off by saying Morant fully represents the culture of the country. Further stating how he carries the uniform of the Grizzlies proudly. He added how even playing for a less popular club like the Grizzlies he was owning the city of Memphis. His words brought out his admiration for the Grizzlies superstar. Furthermore, he said he knew the contributions of the players like Curry and James in the league, but found something unique in the Grizzlies’ point guard. Thereafter, Crowder countered him by claiming LeBron James was still the face of the NBA. However, Williams stood still on his point, saying that James was no doubt one of the faces, but there was something else in Morant.

The Bulls rookie compared him with a common man. He described how Morant could do all the insane plays on the field despite being built like a common man. Williams finished off by saying, “Ja seems like the common everyday folk that skying in the air doing all. There’s a Michael Jordan-esque to him.” His words were pretty self-explanatory and described his take on the ‘face of the league’. The candid video of all the former athletes clearly showered how much they admired and appreciated the Memphis Grizzlies superstar.
