Well, that's correct Ja is a good player, he is the future face of the NBA. However, at this early stage of his career he thinks highly of himself comparing himself to AI or Kobe. That's not mamba mentality right there, that's just pure arrogance. A player that good could've been a bit humble, calm, and composed at all times to achieve the best version of yourself.
Not the type of person who always find excuses because you lost.
Honestly, Memphis has already proved they could do better even without him.
Warriors is a more experienced team, and that's no excuse.

I can say that he is a little arrogant about claiming himself to Kobe and AI which is not good but I think he really has the skills in shooting and ball handling as well as ball handling. He is still young and still thinks high of himself I am not sure if this could change or not but I remember DRose being the youngest MVP and yet he is very humble up until now.

I can't say its arrogant approach but rather a good inspiration that he's trying to build, also NBA push him to be like that because their old superstar like Lebron,Curry and other more is getting age right now so they are seeking on replacement so that they can still hype up the league. The only problem of JA now is he need to win a championship and also MVP award so that he can justify his word and fans will not give any doubts on what he is saying.

This would be a first I’m hearing of Ja comparing himself to AI and Kobe, lol he’s insane for doing that. Even Michael Jordan doesn’t gloat like that even to this day. I think the kid has an insane amount of talent, obviously, but I think he needs to pump the breaks on the comparisons. Right now he’s more so like Derrick Rose in his prime rather than Kobe or AI.

It wasn't a complete off night for Warriors like I said but the game became closer than what it should have been because of their early poor shooting. Imagine if Ja was there capitalizing on every miss by GSW. We'll never really know but the series could have been 2-2 by now.

Let the guy say what he thinks he is like. It's not really a big issue and I'm pretty sure you've called yourself or some friends "MJ" or "Kobe" while playing in your neighborhood. That's not arrogance when you think you can play like them.

I don't think NBA forced or pushed him to be that kind of guy.

Al Horford had himself a game. 30 points for the old guy against an MVP in Giannis. On top of the Gianni’s had a bad shooting night but put up huge numbers himself. I didn’t expect the Celtics to win another game against the Bucks but they’re showing that they can compete. Horford and Taytum carried them tonight.

And it seems that the savvy veteran is bringing back his old self. There was one instance wherein he had a good dunk against Giannis. Back to back games for Al now that he had a good game against the Bucks.

No real surprise with the Warriors game. The Grizzlies put up a good fight without Ja Morant though. I didn’t expect that they’d keep the game so close.

No surprised but there are anxious moments that we might think that the Grizzlies can pull an upset because they lead most of the game. However, the Warriors didn't give up and make a great comeback and won and now they are up 3-1.

And speaking about DRose, Ja' should take care of himself and avoid the same fate as DRose, I mean the injury that the man suffers and

Being left by the team, he serves everything. Ja' should be more quiet and not drag anyone's name. Look how his team played and

learned how to use everyone and not to try lifting the entire team alone. If he can maximize all the talents behind him, they can be

a future NBA champ.

Ja Morant is good in inside and outside but Warriors are more experienced players with Green that is good in defensive and with Jordan Poole joining their offensive I think I wouldn't surprise anymore but I think this is a good experience for Ja Morant, we can't really deny that he is a good player.

I didn't expect the Grizzlies can keep the lead until almost the end of the game. They are good even without their leader and the skills of Adams and Jackson Jr. was highlighted today. Now a question clouds my mind. Why didn't they use Adams at the start of the series? Because as I watched it, it didn't seem like Adams is a weakness at all in the pace of the game. He actually became one of their strength in protecting the paint because Jordan Poole is hesitating to attack it unlike the previous games.
