Ja Morant, who was the favorite to win the Rookie of the Year before the suspension of the NBA, is constantly making highlights in his debut season. As it turns out, having fun on the court is part of his game.

Former Murray State star also revealed he does not fear anyone on the court. “They put their shoes and stuff on the same way you do,” Morant says.

Via Lang Whitaker of SLAM:

“My pops always told me to have fun whenever I am on the floor,” Ja explains. “If I’m not having fun, I’m probably not playing my game. So, each and every night I step on that court, I just try to have fun, bring some excitement to the table, and I’m just trying to help my team win.”

This season the 20-year-old point guard is averaging 17.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game for the Memphis Grizzlies.
