Earlier this season Ja Morant made a bold claim by saying that he is ‘fine’ in the Western Conference, i.e. he is not worried about other teams and is confident in the Grizzlies.
Since then the West got stronger as Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant were traded to the Mavericks and Suns respectively.
Despite two superstars landing in the Western Conference, Morant remains keeps his confidence.
Via Khari Thompson of Boston.com:
“I don’t care. Honestly. I said what I said, and I mean that,” Morant said. “The confidence I had when I said that, is the confidence that got us to the point we’re at now, being a top team in this league.”
