Times have changed in the NBA, and the new generation of players are responding virtually to shade, rather than physically. Latest in the potential Twitter Wars vault, we have Ja Morant [https://www.nba.com/players/ja/morant/1629630] and what he thinks of this season’s self-declared Rookie of the Year. JA MORANT TROLLS KENDRICK NUNN’S STATEMENT Ja Morant [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/USATSI_13803809-scaled-e1586807692352.jpg] Recently, in an interview with Ira Winderman of South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Miami Heat rookie Kendrick Nunn [https://stats.nba.com/player/1629134/] seemed to have made some bold statements. According to Winderman, the 24-year-old point guard believes he is the most eligible candidate to receive the season’s Rookie of the Year award. “I’m Rookie of the Year,” Nunn declared in the interview. When he was reminded of the superior statistics of Memphis Grizzlies rookie Ja Morant, Nunn had more to say about it. “I think people will say that he (Ja Morant) is Rookie of the Year, but I don’t believe it,” Nunn declared. “The most value should be in the wins. Our team has been holding it down. We’re a playoff team, so go ahead and give that Rookie of the Year to Kendrick Nunn.” Several fans started making memes against Nunn. Some reminded him which seed his team is, while others were GIFs of people laughing. Interestingly, Ja Morant himself reacted similarly. A very sarcastic Morant replied to NBA Central’s tweet above with a GIF of himself laughing. A very confident Nunn also said that he wasn’t watching his competition at all. Talking about Ja Morant and Zion Williamson [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/zion-williamson/], Nunn continued, “I really wasn’t watching their numbers or anything like that. I’m just watching them in the game, and see how they’re playing and just trying to scout ’em, getting ready to play ’em.” Kendrick Nunn has 15.6 points, 3.4 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game to his name this season. Morant, on the other hand, is averaging 17.6 points, 6.9 assists and 3.5 rebounds. Nunn is second to Morant in scoring and field goals made. Morant leads all rookies in assists as of now. Nunn really improved and showed his skills from when the Santa Cruz Warriors drafted him in 2018. However, Morant still surpasses him in all aspects after helping Memphis Grizzlies clinch a playoff berth in the Western Conference. 

Grizzlies' star rookie Ja Morant completely destroys Heat rookie Kendrick Nunn,
after Nunn declares that he is the Rookie of the Year.

Nike took a substantial step in its relationship with Morant at the end of last year. After rumors of Ja getting his line of signature shoes, the brand unveiled the &#8220;Day One&#8221; Nike JA 1 in December 2022. Then in April 2023, the JA 1s were released to the public. In its most recent development, the Memphis Grizzlies suspended the 23-year-old Morant when a new video showed the All-Star brandishing a gun, which left NBA commissioner Adam Silver â€œshocked.â€ Morant was subsequently suspended for a second time for the same reason â€“ a video being posted of the MVP candidate holding a weapon â€“ the second incident in two months. Following this, Morantâ€™s signature shoe was no longer listed for sale on Nikeâ€™s website or the company app. Ja Morant&#8217;s car collection Ja Morant is a huge fan of fancy cars and has spent similarly on his car collection. As soon as he made it to the NBA, the star gifted new cars to his parents. He reportedly owns a Rolls Royce Dawn, which is worth around $1 million. Morant also has an Aston Martin Vantage, a Mercedes-Benz A-Class, a Porsche Cayenne, and a Ferrari Roma. Ja Morant&#8217;s house Ja Morant bought a mansion for his parents in Eads,Â Tennessee, in 2019 worth a reported $1.3 million, after signing his rookie contract. After signing a huge extension in 2022, Morant added another property near his parent&#8217;s mansion for a reported $3 million. The mansion spans 13,836 square feet and includes seven bedrooms among other luxury amenities.
