[Morant] In post-game interview: saw “a pidgeon guarding me; hit a bucket won the game”
Oh Taylor Rooks was Courtside makes sense now Ja
he can’t even look her in the eyes, he’s just like me frfr
so was Abella Danger
in Bangbros arena
in a cave, with a bunch of scraps
I knew it. They never showed her again to confirm.
WE MEN
why pigeon though
Nba slang for someone who can’t guard you so you’re gonna drive at them
There’s a famous clip of Jae Crowder talking about it a while back
Hockey players call scrubs pigeons too, must be more common than I thought.
Same with the Premier League.
Tottenham really thought they could put a bird in a shirt and we’d all just roll over with it.
You really had me googling “are chickens birds?” And now I feel dumb and fuck Tottenham for that.
Richarlison is a pigeon!
Overdrive segment pigeon or peacock move.
I thought it was a cone.
I mean there’s def more than one name for it
A cone is a guy you can go right around and a mouse in the house is a guy too small to guard you.
We used holler baby whenever we’d get a big/little mismatch on the block. Felt more demoralizing
In Germany we used to yell “Winziger kleiner Junge schleicht sich in das Haus des großen Mannes” - which roughly translates to “tiny little boy sneaking inside the big man’s house”. Really crushed the spirit of the defender.
That’s so long the double team is probably there before the sentence is over
Cone is a term for a bad defender,
I don’t want no pidgeoooon
Them be the girls that get no love from me
So many nephews in here must be so confused.
No Scrubs (and No Pigeons) was released in 1999, so yeah those songs are older than them
Too young to know, too confident to Google
Flapping out of the passenger side of his best friend’s ride trying to coo at me
Noooo… pigeons…
*Pigeon
Pidgeot*
Does anyone else sing “Pink Ponyta” when Chappell’s song is on
My toddler does!
Peugeot*
Cuz that pidgeon ain’t get no smidgen from meeee.
Hockey slang bc all they do is chirp.
Wait do pigeons even chirp
They famously coo
I know right
Hockey posters aren’t that bright.
It’s an apology to that Simpsons episode where Bart is trying to shoot at a bucket but actually shoots a pigeon.
Mortal enemy of the wick’s.
Skeet shooting?
skeet skeet
when you can cross someone up so bad they are referred to as getting the pigeon toe going as referenced in Jermaine Dupri’s 2007 hit Live Like Me
Not even a pidgeotto

Homie was thinking about duck hunt
Dusty pigeon bruh
Not gunna lie , I had to look up wtf that meant
I don’t get it either, fill me in
From what I gathered it’s basically calling someone useless like a pigeon or lesser than .. like how pigeons are perceived among birds I guess like they just sit off to the side and chirp on a phone line or building
Jae Crowder explains to the media that the terms “duck” and “pigeon” are NBA terms used to describe a weak defender you want to attack. He also mentions that the break in the 3 point line is called the “titty”
I gotta hear Kevin Harlan say he pulls up from the titty
…AND HE PULLS UP FROM THE TITTY…GOOD!
Aren’t you tired of saying titty?
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I would love to hear Breen say, “He’s behind the titty… BANG!”
Morgan Freeman saying “titty sprinkles”
Jim Pete, color commentator for the Wolves, said it once. Can’t find a clip but it definitely happened.
LMAO!
I guess luguentz dort is a chicken cobra in this scenario?
Thanks for the explanation. I thought I heard that too but thought there’s no way he’s calling this guy a pigeon 😂😂
I’m not sure if that’s healthy trash talk or quite disrespectful, but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt this time lol
It’s fucked up that the other birds don’t have any respect for the pigeons
Have you met a pigeon? Theyre fat bullies that live off garbage.
so are bald eagles and they’re America’s national bird. Pigeons deserve just as much respect
Bro relax Nico already traded him to the Lakers
They’re just like me fr fr
Y’all don’t know bout the Aussie bin chicken and it shows
Did you think pigeons were useful before
No lmao I just hadn’t ever heard that used as trash talk
They taste pretty good.
Never heard of a carrier pigeon?
I thought ware played solid D there. He almost had it. Ja just had a great step/leap back.
He did , I honestly thought they may get ja for a foul or travel lmao
[deleted]
7’0” Kel’el Ware is 2 smol confirmed
Pretty worrying a lot of people can’t figure this out for themselves lol
A pigeon is a girl that thinks she’s fine..
I thought Ja was talking about how Ware looks like a pigeon lol
That would be more offensive imo
Ja sees Taylor Rooks and suddenly his quotes become way more braggadocious lol she also inspired “fine in the west”
Wasn’t that malika
You’re right. Taylor cast a spell over me as well it’s not my fault
Lmaooo
The best save. It checks out
Taylor is the one who inspired the “5 rings before 28”
Lol this sounds like something a homeless man would say to you.
yeah that super dirty dude at the park you don’t wanna get too close to
He can talk all the shit he wants after being the most hated guy in the league for 48 hours
Which is crazy. There are literal woman beaters playing and people give more attention and hate to finger guns than that.
This dude built basketball courts all over Memphis on his own dime and gives tons of money to local charities, brings his family to every single game he plays in and yet he’s more hated than dudes that beat the shit out of their baby mama lol.
Kyrie has done similar shit, doesn’t make him less of a fucking ignorant dumbass
Yeaaaa but folks be way too invested in hating on nba players lmao
But he’s also an irresponsible dipshit when it comes to firearms. I don’t care about fingerguns in general, but I do want to know that Ja Morant, specifically, is being mindful about guns and legitimately turning over a new leaf.
People don’t like him bc he’s wasting his opportunity by wanting to be some street tough. He grew up with money and opportunity too right? Like Drake rapping street shit with an in ground pool growing up in Canada. It’s just weird. Be your own man, Ja. You’re not hood and there’s nothing wrong with that.
classic whataboutism here. ja has a history of glorifying gun use which is not really a great publicity play
Literally lmao. The said wifebeaters always gets hated on when they get brought up. Check every miles bridges comment section. Just because we don’t bring his name every other moment doesn’t mean we don’t talk about it.
history of glorifying gun use
So like 70 percent of America?
precisely why this is a problem
ja has a history of glorifying gun use which is not really a great publicity play
Unless it’s a conservative politician and their family posing with firearms on a Christmas card. Their kids are holding weapons in these images too and they don’t get called ghetto or thugs. Crazy how that works.
Classic reading comprehension here.
I never said he doesn’t deserve hate, I said it’s crazy he gets more hate than the active players who beat their wives and girlfriends.
I mean, did news of anyone beating their wives come out in the last 48 hours? Or is it possible that Ja doing the finger guns just happened to be a “viral” moment that a lot of people commented on?
Personally, I don’t hate Ja, but I do think it’s unwise to make a finger gun gesture when you’ve previously gotten into trouble for gun-related things in the past. And I think it’s especially unwise to make that same gesture in back to back games.
Honestly, I haven’t looked at what most people were saying about it. Do they really hate him, or do they just think he’s stupid?
People love to moral grandstand on here, they wanted a reason to hate so they found one
Why would people want a reason to hate him? Does he have some sort of history that would lead to that?
Wife beaters, rapists, child predators… the list goes on.
It’s crazy what gets vilified and what gets swept under the rug.
He’s not even hated though? He’s just rightfully being called an idiot
Like I’m fine with it. Go full heel young man. We need more aggression
It’s like the 2k quicktime events where you have the good option and the evil option
Talk your shit.
Press up for “It was a good game and the other team defended hard.”
Press down for “Had a pigeon guarding me.”
Anything said to Taylor Rooks is completely excused.
He felt so toxic towards the Heat? Lol. I was wondering why he felt like this.
Might be because the the KLove IG post
A pidgeon No, but a carry and travel also a pushoff is YES.
Right!? How you gonna pushoff then talk shit? Lmfao
I’m contemplating editing that final possession with slow motion and posting it. My pettiness is high with this clip haha
You’d say anything in front of Rooks
brother called an nba player a pigeon LMAO
You NBA redditors come off so toxic and like a bunch of losers.
Broke: Ja soundbite
Woke: Taylor sighting 😍
Nah the Ja posts are actually going to be insane for the next few days lmao. Like even more weird an irrational than they already have been
Good. Some of y’all wanted him suspended because he did the finger guns
They dont wanna admit he makes the league more fun, for better or for worse.
Even if u hate him it makes people more engaged and the games more fun lol
He just thinking about clay pigeons so he can shoot em.
I know I know, I’m a Heat fan so I’m biased, but go back and watch that shot and tell me it isn’t a pushoff. Full arm extension and everything. Plus what looks like a travel
He’s pretty unlikeable.
would the nba be entertaining if there weren’t any villains
mfs want everybody to be nice & shit… that’s why the game boring now
there is nothing more electric than a close NBA game against a team you and your fanbase despises.
Yeah but we’re cool with each other so that’s why it’s like ??? Huh
oh yeah i like Miami and the fans. i think this was more of a combo of Grizz sliding down the standings with their back against the wall and the media being on Ja’s ass the past couple days.
so let me go ahead and insult a rookie on national television because my team sucks
Tbf, I think Ja consider most of the big guys in the league “pigeons.” It’s just a term for someone you attack and I think 97% of the bigs in this league are considered pigeons when they’re on an island with Ja.
hot take: i like basketball and not drama
I like him, villains are typically my favorite characters
There are villains and then there are jabronies
That’s a bar
Ware gonna see this and turn into A superstar next season, thanks Ja
People call him Temu Wemby, but he’s nice
Nah that’s Bol Bol
ja on a generational run this game with the gun fingers, game winner, and then calling his defender a pigeon
bar of shit
He’s trying to get his own Shai aura edit lmfao
Ja was a star before SGA was lol. Won MIP and went All-NBA while SGA was winning 24 games with Darius Bazley and co
Not related to my comment
Dude was just making a Shai aura edit joke, relax.
BBQ pigeon
I didn’t expect that to be his voice tbh
LETS GO JA
Man this guy is the biggest douchebag in the league
Ja is definitely the closest thing to a heel the NBA has right now.
Push off could’ve moved a stalled-out station wagon, let alone a human defender.
kinda hard ngl
If you’re 12
He is 12
So is the average NBA soapopera fan
Ikr
What a stupid fuck.
He wipes his face with the towel right after he calls the defender a pigeon and says the crowd is going home upset. I wonder why?
Goat
He really talking to y’all 😂
I laughed so hard at this. He so dumb but he’s ours. Lol.
Pigeon Merchant
this guys an idiot. its Stephon Marbury 2.0.
this dude just gets less likeable every time I hear him talk and watch him, which is a shame, because he’s a heck of a player
Damn dropped that ether on them ja lmao
I feel its another insult to injury that hes calling Ware pigeon when he needed to use full body push off to create space to score on him in first place. That should not be legal move , but it seems its fine and never called for small guards .
If Ware did it , it would be a foul 100 %
Was ware a pigeon earlier in the game when he swatted the shit out of a ja shot? Bro is so soft he lost his shit because the opposing fans had the audacity to boo him .
Sporty thieves-
https://youtu.be/pP33_uFlzTM?si=BHoI-bLSsOx_vnck
Heat culture letting this slide??
I said in my head why tf dude guarding him he to slow and mfs literally shoot high to get above defenders
Ja need to keep lockin in. I really fuck with his on-court energy.
Can we all agree it is spelled “pigeon”??
ja “we’re ok in the west” morant ✌️😅
He’s clearly trying soooo hard to seem cool, just be yourself Temetrius!
Ja is one of the most authentic guys out there. he is unapologetically himself regardless of what media says about him. now if you want to argue that he’s a corny person or an idiot that’s a different story, but he’s absolutely always himself.
My point was him talking in his deep voice trying to sound like a badass. Maybe you’re right, a more accurate point is he’s corny.
First round exit incoming
I bet this man literally can’t read
I think ja might have a fan 😭😭😭
Busta Morant with the Tatum fend off
I don’t watch many Ja post-game interviews, but is he always a jerk like this?
This dude is the Chappell Roan of the NBA
Tool.
Ja hates that he has to play the corporation game. This is a chance to flav it up a little
