Ja Morants comment on the Blazers video announcing his new number:
“Beneath No 1”
That’s a personal mantra of Ja, and advice his mom would always giving him to build confidence when he was a kid. He also has the phrase tattooed on his left arm 🔥
Didn't know it at the time, but this was Ja Morant's final game as a Grizzly.
It had it all: 23 points, 12 assists, a few sensational chase down blocks, a brief squabble with Mouhamed Gueye, and a missed game-winner at the buzzer.
Entertaining to the end, that's for damn sure.
Will forever be one of the coolest memories of my career.
First game back off a 25-game suspension, down by as many as 24.
Ja put the team on his back, repeatedly cooked an elite perimeter in Herb Jones late—straight iso for the game-winning bucket at the horn.
A showman.
The Portland Trail Blazers reportedly believe that Ja Morant, Damian Lillard, Jrue Holiday, and Scoot Henderson can all coexist together, per @jwquick
“The Blazers believe the four guards can co-exist, in large part because the team believes Holiday can alleviate the redundancy by playing him off the ball as a shooting guard or small forward.”
