Stars are often spotted sitting Courtside, enjoying their favorite game with their loved ones. Especially in the NBA Playoffs, we see a number of celebrities cheering for their favorite teams. We saw some great people at the Courtside following Game 5 between the Memphis Grizzlies and Minnesota Timberwolves, including the father of Ja Morant, Tee.
On Tuesday, FedExForum was packed with fans as they brought another star to the arena Music superstar Usher was also present. The two of them were sitting together and everyone noticed that they looked quite similar to each other.

Both of them wore black T-shirts which added to the confusion. We have seen Ja’s father at the Courtside before, and at times, there was confusion that he looked like the R&B singer in multiple post games.
To illustrate how similar the two were, they showed a side-by-side comparison of them. After this, Twitter went wild as fans couldn’t stop commenting and tweeting about it. As we see from their reactions on social media, the fans are clearly expressing themselves.
Does Ja Morant’s father, Tee, look exactly like a famous singer?
As the “Look-Alike” cam on the jumbotron showed, both appeared together during the time-out break. Afterward, the fans on the Courtside went wild with cheers and applause. To this end, Usher also commented on this in his tweet, stating: “Had to See What The Hype Was About”.
