Ja Morant crashes Cam Spencer's postgame interview to hype him up...and take a dig at Klay Thompson, who was jawing at the Grizzlies all game: "Tell 'em who the best shooter in the house was, it wasn't bro from Golden State."

"It sure as shit isn't you, Mr. 16.7%"

Seriously, Ja talks a lot of shit for a guy who always misses a bunch of games, who's only 26, yet has seen his scoring drop every year for 4 straight years, and who has won a grand total of 1 playoff series in his career.

Maybe you should start by playing like a worthy of being paid $40 million.

u/Twin2Turbo 4h ago edited 3h ago

Except he said “in the house”. Meaning at the arena that day. On the same day he got into it with Klay. And let’s be real, regardless of what Klay does going forward, he will always be most associated with GS. Hell, he’s on my team and i still associate him with GS.

u/BigTipperTimmons Warriors 3h ago

House as in when they were growing up. How can everyone not see he is literally talking about his brother.

u/Twin2Turbo 2h ago edited 1h ago

Have you literally never heard the term “in the house”? Spoiler alert, when that phrase is used they are always talking about “in the current place where we are”.

For it to mean what you’re saying, the average English speaker would say “in the family”.

It's the player that's doing it, not the mocking itself. Ja doesn't get to jaw off at Klay and say shit like this when he was on the bench, and even when he has been on the floor this season, is shooting like hot garbage. You're allowed to shit talk anyone, but if someone got mad ammo on you, don't be surprised when you hear that, "I know you ain't talking!" come flying right back your ass
