Angel Reese And Ja Morant Link Up To Create Viral Video

by

Angel Reese is currently the biggest name in all of basketball. The LSU star is now making the media rounds after the Tigers’ National Championship victory. However, her play on the floor hasn’t been the only topic of discussion. Reese was vilified by some in the media for her in-game trash-talk directed at Caitlin Clark. Clark, who is a known trash talker herself, came to the defense of Reese’s actions. Now that the trash-talking debacle is behind everyone, Reese can finally celebrate her championship in peace.

The Women’s Final Four MVP is getting the opportunity to meet all the stars. On Wednesday, Reece tweeted a video of her and Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant. The pair were giving their best attempt at dancing for the camera. A moment that was shared in laughter by the two basketball stars. Both Reese and Morant are stars of the basketball world. Morant is currently in pursuit of his first NBA ring. While Reese is enjoying the spoils that come with being a champion.

Angel Reese Comments On Hilarious Video With Morant

Morant was one of the many stars that came to the defense of Reese over her in-game celebrations. While the likes of Keith Olbermann vehemently disagreed with her actions on the court. Olbermann has since apologized for his reaction on the topic. Stating that he wasn’t fully aware of the situation. No matter, the NCCA Women’s Tournament was a huge success for the sport. Women’s basketball took over all the talking points of the weekend. Even as the Men’s Final Four was taking place.

It was an important weekend for Angel Reese and women’s sports. This season’s tournament will be forever remembered for the celebrations. However, the play on the court shouldn’t be forgotten. LSU, South Carolina, Iowa, and Louisville should all remember what they accomplished this season. In addition, for the first time, women’s athletics are starting to be noticed by the masses. It has been a long road for the sport. Needless to say, the women should soak up the moment. They have long earned this celebration. For the latest on women’s sports, stay locked in with HNHH.

Nike Ja 1 Revealed In “Trivia” Colorway

by

Ja Morant has been nothing short of impressive as of late when it comes to his sneaker output, namely the Nike Ja 1. Overall, this is a shoe that has impressed both hoopers and sneakerheads. Although Morant has gone through quite a bit of strife as of late, he continues to push through. Subsequently, he is expected to potentially make a deep run into the Western Conference playoffs. With that on the horizon, there is no doubt that we will likely have some brand-new colorways of his debut signature.

Throughout the past few weeks, there have been some great teasers for his upcoming output. This is good news for consumers, as new offerings are almost here. That said, it is clear Nike wants the Nike Ja 1 to reflect Morant, his upbringing and his family. We have seen that in previous color schemes, and now, with the latest one, that philosophy has returned. Below, you can find official photos of the Nike Ja 1 “Trivia.”

Firstly, you will realize that this model has a whole bunch of colors to it. This is because the shoe is meant to pay homage to Ja Morant and his family’s love of trivia night. Games like trivial pursuit use lots of colors to differentiate between the different categories. Overall, this shoe reflects that. Although the shoe has a beige base, we get to see a green Nike swoosh, a blue back heel, and an orange midsole. These elements work together extremely well, and we’re sure sneakerheads agree. Hopefully, we get more colorways like this in the future.

As for the release date, it looks like these will be dropping on May 4th, which is going to be next month. The price for the sneaker is $110 USD which is standard for new signatures. This is proving to be a dope silhouette, and we cannot wait to see more. Let us know your thoughts on this new Nike Ja 1, in the comments section down below.

Angel Reese And Ja Maront Link Up In Viral TikTok

by

Angel Reese has been in the news a lot as of late. The LSU star, who had a standout season, has been getting both positive and negative attention. However, most people are currently focused on her for the ongoing beef she has with the White House. Most recently, she clapped back at the Bidens, suggesting that LSU should visit the Obamas. But beef is not the only thing on Bayou Barbie’s plate.

Someone else who has seen a lot of press coverage lately is NBA star Ja Maront. Whether it’s his eight-game suspension or his role in a Grizzlies playoff run. he might just be the most talked about NBA star. It was just a matter of time before these two charismatic and much-talked-about basketball stars met in person.

Ja Morant And Angel Reese Hit The Griddy

In a video posted to Reese’s TikTok, she and Morant are seen linking up at LSU’s athletic facilities. A #33 jersey can be seen in the background, which has been retired by both the men’s and women’s basketball teams. LSU retired the number in 2000 for Shaq and again in 2011 for Seimone Augustus. During the 2022-23 season, Reese broke Augustus’ long-standing SEC record for single-season double-doubles. Her 34 total double-doubles also broke the NCAA single-season record. Morant is not an LSU alum, nor does he play in or hail from Louisiana. But who could resist meeting the current queen of women’s collegiate basketball?

As audio of Morant quoting his favorite NBA YoungBoy plays, Morant and Reese are seen laughing before briefly hitting the griddy together. It’s a fun and wholesome moment for two stars of their respective games who have been dogged by less than positive press coverage in recent weeks. However, with Morant back on the court and Reese getting the spotlight she deserves, perhaps fortunes are changing. Reese said in a recent interview that her dream NIL deal would be a collab with Rihanna’s Fenty brand. As for future link-ups, with the Grizzlies playoff-bound, perhaps we will see Reese head up to FedExForum in the coming weeks. Fans would surely love more content from the two stars.

Grizzlies Star Ja Morant Receives Injury Update

by

Ja Morant doesn’t want to push it as the Memphis Grizzlies close out the regular season. As the Grizzlies finish up back-to-back on Wednesday, Morant will unlikely play. The Grizzlies cruised to a 119-109 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday. Now it seems the team will not take any chances with their biggest superstar. Memphis has basically wrapped up the two seed in the Western Conference. This could be the reason for Morant’s apparent absence from Wednesday’s matchup with the Pelicans.

Morant has been the leader of the basketball renaissance in Memphis. The Grizzlies are a young and hungry team looking to turn heads in the 2023 NBA Playoffs. However, many in the league believe the Grizzlies are too brash about their talents. A lot has been said about Morant’s louder teammate Dillon Brooks. Brooks has slowly become one of the most synonymous trash talkers in the league. The 2022-23 season has been no picnic for Morant either.

Ja Morant To Sit Out Of Wednesday’s Matchup With The Pelicans

Ja Morant’s season has been flooded with controversy. The Memphis guard was seen in a since-deleted Instagram post brandishing a firearm inside an adult entertainment establishment. The incident led to a suspension and time for Morant to understand that his actions do have consequences. Since the incident, Morant has realized that his impact on the basketball community is much larger than he expected. The Grizzlies superstar has since apologized for the incident.

There have been many reports on teams resting superstars recently. With some teams thinking about rest due to not being in the playoff hunt. While others seem to be searching for rest before making their quest to the NBA Finals. Resting before the playoffs seems like the case with Morant. However, rest isn’t always in the best interest of a team heading to the playoffs. Just ask the Lakers about rest. For the latest updates on the biggest NBA news, stay locked in here at HNHH.

NBA Youngboy Seemingly Responds To Lil Baby Quoting His Lyrics: “He Chose A Side”

by

NBA Youngboy’s feud with Lil Durk extends to whoever decides to work with the Chicago rapper, including Lil Baby. Over the weekend, the Atlanta rapper made waves after his appearance at the Hawks Vs. Grizzlies game in his hometown where he sat courtside with Jayda Cheaves, and later, linked up with NBA Youngboy superfan, Ja Morant. However, it seems as though YB isn’t particularly fond of Lil Durk’s The Voice Of The Heroes collaborator quoting his lyrics.

Ja Morant became synonymous with NBA Youngboy’s lyric from “Fresh Prince Of Utah,” where he declares, “It’s a parade inside my city, yeah.” Morant’s turned the bar into a triumphant chant for each Grizzlies victory, especially after his post-suspension return. YB hasn’t directly acknowledged the reference, though his label tweeted, “You know it’s gonna be a parade for real behind you @jamorant” over the weekend. Though Never Broke Again LLC has high hopes for Grizzlies this season, NBA Youngboy finally acknowledged Ja Morant, though not necessarily for the right reasons. 

NBA Youngboy Shuts Down Lil Baby

In the clip of Lil Baby’s link-up with Ja Morant, you can hear him quoting the infamous bar in the background. Though some fans felt as though it was hilarious, YB didn’t appear to be pleased about it. In a since-deleted tweet captured by No Jumper, NBA Youngboy appeared to send out a warning shot at an unnamed individual that many suspect to be Lil Baby. “That b*tch ass n****a got to run into me too better remember he chose a side,” he wrote on Twitter. “This sh*t get gangsta boy.”

It looks like we probably won’t get a verse from Lil Baby on Don’t Try This At Home. However, the two have previously worked together on the single, “One Shot” from the Fast & The Furious 9 (F9) soundtrack. Despite the critical praise, the two haven’t linked up since. Given his recent tweet, it seems like NBA Youngboy truly isn’t interested in working with anyone who also works with his enemy, Lil Durk. Baby hasn’t responded to YB’s tweet yet but we’ll keep you posted if he does. Check out what NBA Youngboy had to say about Lil Baby above.

Lil Baby Recites Ja Morant’s Favorite NBA YoungBoy Lyric

by

Lil Baby is a massive basketball fan, and as someone who spends a lot of time in Atlanta, you can imagine he goes to quite a few Hawks games. Overall, there are plenty of celebrities who pop out at Hawks matches, and for good reason. With Trae Young on the roster, the team is actually quite entertaining to watch. Moreover, the team is always hosting some of the best teams around the league. For instance, on Sunday night, the Hawks went up against Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies.

As we already reported, Lil Baby was front and center for this matchup. Overall, he was treated to a great show. Although, it was the Grizzlies who came out victorious thanks to an incredible effort from none other than Ja Morant. After the game, Morant got to link up with Baby. Additionally, Morant decided to gift the rapper his jersey. He even signed the back of it, which makes the uniform that much more valuable. However, we are pretty sure Lil Baby isn’t the type to immediately take memorabilia to eBay.

Lil Baby x Ja Morant

In the clips up above, you can see that they had a very jovial interaction. Moreover, Lil Baby even recited Morant’s favorite NBA YoungBoy lyrics. Of course, the Grizzlies star is always saying “it’s a parade inside my city, yeah” after big wins. The phrase has even been scrutinized by Skip Bayless, who is subsequently being clowned for the way he says it. Ultimately, it was a fun night for both of these men who seem to be at the top of their respective fields right now.

When it comes to Morant, he and the Memphis Grizzlies are second in the Western Conference. They want to make a deep run in the playoffs, and they are certainly in a good position to do so. Whether or not they will be able to execute their plans, completely depends on Morant and their young core. Either way, it is going to be very fun to watch. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Ja Morant Hilariously Mocks Skip Bayless: Watch

by

Ja Morant made his grand return to the NBA this past week. Overall, he has been excellent since his suspension. While some were worried that his off-court antics would prove to be a distraction, it appears the opposite. For instance, just a couple of nights ago, Morant dropped an impressive 27 points against the Hawks. Moreover, he helped his team win the game, cementing the Grizzlies as a second seed in the Western Conference. Furthermore, the team is just three games out of first place, which is truly impressive given everything that went down only three weeks ago.

If you have watched Grizzlies games, you know that whenever the team wins, Morant says the NBA YoungBoy lyric, “It’s a parade inside my city, yeah.” Morant echoed this phrase during his first game back on the Grizzlies’ sideline. This subsequently led to a segment on Undisputed in which Skip Bayless mimicked the saying, but in a goofy cadence. From there, the clip went viral and the Grizzlies have been embracing the meme. In fact, even Ja is self-aware of the whole situation.

Ja Morant Sees Everything

In the video up above, Morant enters the Grizzlies’ tunnel after a game and immediately says his signature phrase. However, he made sure to say it exactly as Skip would. It was a pretty hilarious moment that had the internet in an uproar. As for Bayless himself, he really has no choice but to tip his cap to Morant. After all, the Grizzlies superstar is playing great basketball and it feels like he cannot be stopped. Hopefully, Bayless realizes that these lyrics are not bad at all and that Ja has turned the corner on his past behavior.

As for the Grizzlies, they have an opportunity to make something happen in the postseason. They are staring down a rematch with the Minnesota Timberwolves, which could subsequently lead to a rematch with the Golden State Warriors. Although, this team is more mature than they were last year and it will be interesting to see how they respond. They have a young core, and this postseason could very well prove to be their coming-out party. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Ja Morant Receives Massive Standing Ovation

by

Ja Morant is someone who has been watched closely by fans and the league as of late. Overall, this is due to the fact that he was engaging in some significant off-court antics. The straw that broke the camel’s back was when Morant decided to flash a gun on Instagram Live. Subsequently, he was suspended eight games by the NBA, without pay. However, he is now back with the Memphis Grizzlies, and on Wednesday night, he played his first game since being suspended.

This matchup took place against the Houston Rockets, who are easily one of the worst teams in the entire NBA. It proved to be a fruitful game for the Grizzlies who managed to win by a score of 130-125. Moreover, the team had Morant coming off of the bench. Head coach Taylor Jenkins was looking to ease him back into things, and Ja did not disappoint. He had 17 points in 24 minutes and even came through with a poster dunk. As for how he was received by fans, it’s clear that Memphis still loves him.

Ja Morant Welcomed Back With Open Arms

In the video clip above, obtained by TMZ, you can see Morant receiving a standing ovation from all of the fans in Memphis. This standing ovation took place as Morant was checking into the game for the very first time. Overall, it was an amazing sight to see as every single fan got up on their feet. Despite everything that has happened, Memphis still has all of the love in the world for Morant. The fans understand he made a mistake and that he is improving every day. Furthermore, he is the key to this franchise winning its first-ever championship.

The Grizzlies currently sit in second place in the Western Conference standings. This is a great place to be, especially since their first round would be against a play-in team. Subsequently, they could very well see the Warriors again in the Western Conference Semi-Finals. Needless to say, this would be a playoff run full of familiar faces. Let us know what you thought of Ja Morant’s return to the court, in the comments down below.

Tee Morant Supports His Son With Special “Redemption” Hoodie

by

Tee Morant has been subjected to a lot of criticism as of late. Overall, this has been due to his son Ja’s actions. As we all know by now, Ja flashed a gun on Instagram Live which eventually led to his suspension from the league. Moreover, people began to point the finger at Tee, claiming that he should step up and be more of a father. These criticisms were a bit of an overreach as no one actually knows the dynamics of Tee and Ja’s relationship. However, the internet loves to talk, and that is precisely what we saw in this particular instance.

Last night, Ja Morant was able to make his grand comeback. His eight-game suspension expired on Monday, and the Grizzlies were slowly bringing him back to the lineup. Wednesday night proved to be a fruitful one for the Grizzlies as they defeated the Houston Rockets. Furthermore, Morant was able to have a solid game coming off the bench. He dropped a total of 17 points in just 24 minutes, including a beautiful poster dunk. Additionally, Tee Morant was in the building and he was definitely making a statement with his clothing.

Tee Morant Back In The Stands

In the Twitter post up above, you can see that Tee was wearing a hoodie that read “Redemption.” The shirt also depicted Ja Morant dapping up Tee courtside. Overall, it was a nice message that showcases what Ja is trying to accomplish right now. In many ways, he feels as though he has let down the franchise and the fanbase. Although, he is now being given a chance to redeem himself. This is especially true now that the playoffs are here.

As it stands, the Grizzlies are second in the Western Conference. If the playoffs were to begin today, then the team would end up playing the Minnesota Timberwolves, who they played against last year. The Grizzlies have consistently been great this season, and there will be huge expectations in the postseason. Let us know what you thought of Ja Morant’s return, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.
