Lakers’ LeBron James sings praise for Ja Morant and his excellent first-half in Game 2, mocks media for MIP votes

Looks like LeBron James is back home from his Maldives and Dubai trip. The Lakers superstar is back to commenting about the games in real-time, as we can see today. The King is watching the Grizzlies-Warriors matchup just like all of us currently.

After losing Game 1 at home, Ja Morant wants a different result tonight. He went off for 23 points in the first 24 minutes, as the Grizzlies went into the half with a 56-51 lead.

LeBron James saw the young star play and couldn’t hold himself from tweeting about the same.

This tweet by LeBron James, just like most other tweets, managed to get a lot of attention. While some are talking about Ja Morant, others wonder if his comments about the media mean goodbye to any future awards.

Well, I guess LeBron can’t even air his thoughts without getting mocked and trolled. He’s right about Morant being MIP though. From a ROTY to an All-Star in his 3rd season, it sure feels like there are better candidates for the award.
