"The modern-day “Get the ball to Michael Jordan, everybody get the f*&# out of the way” line": NBA Twitter reacts to Ja Morant talking about his game-winner against the Timberwolves

Ja Morant is feeling confident as he talks about making the game-winner against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Grizzlies are up 3-2.  

The Grizzlies and Timberwolves played one of the games of the playoffs so far as both teams traded buckets late in the fourth quarter. However, it was the Memphis franchise that got the last laugh.

Ja Morant was at his best and he was the one who drove to the basket with just 3.7 seconds remaining and managed to make the tough bucket.

As the Grizzlies head to Minnesota, they will be inspired by Ja’s confidence, which was brimming at the post-game presser.

When asked if Morant could take everyone through the last play, he responded with a simple “Go get a bucket Ja!”. Simple. Crisp. Clean.
