LeBron James mocking Ja Morant goes viral in Lakers-Grizzlies

If there are two teams in the NBA that just don’t like each other, it’s the Los Angeles Lakers and the Memphis Grizzlies. For the past two seasons, every time these two teams meet, there is always some level of trash talk – tonight was no different.

During the second quarter of tonight’s game between the Grizzlies and the Lakers, LeBron James hit a shot over Ja Morant and immediately made sure to let him know he was too small. The moment has over 70,000 views and 2,000 likes in about 20 minutes.

Last season, when the two teams faced off in the regular season tournament, they also had a heated moment.

All the bad blood between the Lakers and Grizzlies stems from the 2022-23 NBA season. Several times throughout the season, both sides taunted each other and trash-talked each other after games, most of which were catalyzed by Dillon Brooks. it all catalyzed in the first-round playoff series, where the Grizzlies ultimately lost in six games after suffering a few key injuries.

If anything, it’s rivalries like these that make sports great. Two teams don’t have to like each other, and it only fires them up more when they don’t. The Memphis Grizzlies needed to enter this season with a chip on their shoulder, and hopefully moments like these will only fuel the fire.
