NBA fans are now taking shots at Tee Morant and connecting it to his son Ja Morant. As most of us should be aware, this has not been a very good year for Morant and the Grizzlies. Not only were they eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, but other off-court activities and behavior have also been cited as an important reason for their failure.
Most of those reports of off-court antics are in reference to the Grizzlies star. He has been the topic of intense criticism after the Memphis Grizzlies organization decided to suspend him. To those who do not know, the Grizzlies decided to take action after a video of Ja flashing a gun on Instagram Live went viral.
Fans don’t seem to be done with Ja just yet. They are continuing the onslaught of mockery against him and have even taken it to his father Tee. Let us find out what they are saying and if there is any basis for it.
NBA fans mock Ja Morant’s father Tee Morant for dancing at a basketball game
Although it might sound somewhat silly, that is exactly what fans are doing on mediums such as social media. As we all know, Tee Morant has been his son’s biggest supporter and has been alongside him, for the most, throughout Ja’s young career so far.
There is nothing wrong with that. Especially since Tee is a huge basketball fan himself and even used to play when he was younger. Tee had a chance to go pro but chose to decline and raise his family instead. However, that does not mean the basketball player and younger version inside him is gone.

The video that went viral involved Tee dancing in a somewhat brazen manner on a basketball court. Fans took the opportunity to point out that this speaks to his character and parenting skills by extension, “No wonder his son misbehaves” and “I won’t blame ja anymore , look at this sad excuse of a dad right here . THATS the problem” are some of the comments being made by fans.
This is the problem

While it is unfair to hold Tee’s dancing accountable for Ja’s antics, fans are still drawing attention to this video as the source and potential explanation for Morant’s behavior.
