[Highlight] Ja Morant tells Klay Thompson, “You a bum” during post game skirmish
CORRECTION: Ja Morant told Klay Thompson, “You a bum now*”
So in some ways it was a nicer version saying he is now a bum and was not always a bum.
wild that ja think he’s in a position to be calling anybody a bum lol
“Homeless man calls another homeless man broke”
One of those homeless men has Megan making them spaghetti so he clearly wins anyway.
Not to mention is an actual legend of the game unlike ja who will just be known for wasting his talents
He won’t be known at all. His only shot at NBA legacy was tied to Zion and he didn’t turn out great either.
One is a wanna be gangster just like Clarence.
And Clarence parents have a real nice marriage
He drives a Toyota to pick her up though so clearly he’s broke
I mean if he’s able to drive a sensible car and be in a stable relationship, thats just like winning the life championship.
Klay setting a crazy-high bar for the real bums out there
Stable relationship. I see what you did there.
I think his Toyota is a Land Cruiser. And if you don’t know about them you’re either broke or like me and know about them but are too broke to get one.
There is not-knowing-what-it-is broke and knowing-what-it-is-but-knowing-you-can’t-afford-it broke. Fuck, typing them dashes are a lot of work…
He ain’t broke he’s sensible.
Fuck, Even if he’s broke he got a fine girl and ja has homie hopping nba version of lot lizards.
Klay probably invested and just doesn’t care about flash.
You can buy expensive shit with enough money but you’ll never buy class.
Didn’t he literally take a boat to games in GS?
I had the misfortune of helping my wife buy a Prada purse on Friday, and had to listen to a shopper beside us go “quickly quickly” to the SA. The SA wasn’t even slow. Both of us just looked at her, the SA in shock and me in disgust. It was a clear attempt at displaying power
Later, the same SA came to help us and I asked if she was OK. Sadly she said that’s about a 7⁄10 on the rudeness scale on Black Friday.
The purse is nice at least, but damn man. You can’t buy class
Whats wrong with a Toyota 😔
If you’re in the NBA at all, you’re not broke unless you mean compared to other NBA players.
Also, if you drive a Toyota and your famous music star girlfriend doesn’t care when you pick her up in it, are you really looking at that as being broke? Might be rich in others eyes.
Yep. Klay is definitely over the hill but Ja so far has been a waste of talent. I know which one I’d pick if I had a choice
Always would rather be a has-been than a never-was
If Klay would put up the 4 fingers again here, I’d support it
I’m not a big fan of flashing fingers for the number of rings you have, but in this case, I’ll definitely allow it.
Eh I mean Klay still goes home to 4 rings, Megan thee Stallion and a guaranteed spot in the HOF soooo🤷🏻♂️
But does he got a Jaraffe?
Yeah Klay has had a much better career and currently has a much better life than Ja, like it is not even close.
Ja’s worst enemy has always been Ja. The ceiling he had was out of this world but bro just makes it harder for himself by acting the way he does. With that being said, Klay was talkin that shit allll game. Had it coming with that awful shot at the end 😭
Goddamn. Klay’s 30.3% from the 3 right now.
Still better than Ja’s 16%
His worst enemy is himself, agreed. His father as his counsel is an abomination.
Klay is going in the Hall and not a soul will remember this Mavs stint tbh. He wasn’t quite transcendent enough to be nitpicked like that.
Ja should be a top 15-ish player rn but has fallen apart. So, yeah. I think I know which I would pick.
Yep. If I was someone who has never made it on the hill in the first place, I personally would not be shit talking someone over the hill. But Im *not an NBA star ig
Well Ja also is a bum now but was not always a bum, so he’s just being empathetic.
“You a bum now like me”
Real recognize real
Ja forgets he’s shooting 16% from three this year lol. Yes 16% !! Could be an nba record
I’m surprised Ja didn’t pull his finger guns on him.
Ja talking to a HOF’er like that.
Bench players talking like starters…
Exactly. BFFR
I mean Klay a hof’er. I don’t think u can be a bum
to be entirely fair 2025 klay might actually be a bum
so he’s technically right
At least he aint shooting 17%
But so is Ja and he’s supposed to be in his prime. Klay being a bum makes sense with his age and injury history.
Ja is in street clothes…
Klay had more individual success and also team success in a single season than Morant ever had in his entire career so far. And with this attitude, that’s never gonna change. Morant never winning anything. Bro is renowned for having the lowest IQ in the NBA but he calls someone else a bum. Funny stuff
I saw another comment saying that Klay was talking shit all game but it’s funny as hell the one barking is Ja with his ass in street clothes sitting on the bench after moping all season. Klay is over the hill but he’s on the court playing. Ja lashing out like always
Klay shows up for work though. So who’s the bum?
I’m not so sure he said “Now”.
They’re gonna be teammates in about 2 weeks.
Such an ominous post for both players and any possible team involved lmao I love it
Gonna come back to this comment and praise Nostradamus in two weeks
ya know, Quasimodo predicted all this
He was gay, Ja Morant?
on what team?!?!?!?
Shanghai Sharks
or the Guangdong Tigers
Southbay
The Sharks do not need to waste a foreigner spot on a PG who can’t space the floor.
And now welcome your SACRAMENTO KINGS
Don’t you put that evil on us
I’m sorry but it does track.
Guangdong Southern Tigers
Flashbacks to Shaq on “Who he play for?”
I hope not Dallas tf do they mean same team
Wizards
And now to have Ja and Klay light the beam!
They are going to get traded for each other and picks and cash
NOW STARTING FOR YOUR SACRAMENTO KINGS
Washed vs Washed
one’s old, the other is washed at 26
one also has 4 rings, the other has 4 cases
yeah if klay a bum then ja nothing more then toilet paper
Ja gonna leave the basketball court and film another brandishing video on social media.
Klay gonna go home and “vent” to Megan Thee Stallion about a 26yo declining “star player” from work talking shit to him in street clothes from the bench while his old ass who’s had 2 major leg surgeries is actually the one on the court and in a uniform still, lmao…but Klay is somehow the bum. 🤣
this would be one time Klay could do the 4 rings thing and it wouldn’t be cringe
They can never take that MIP award from Ja.
^(He was also rookie of the year.)
It doesn’t seem right that someone would win both of those unless there’s many years between them.
Idk how they robbed Jordan Poole like that, he actually had to prove himself vs. being a top pick that was expected to be good
One also is the greatest shooter in the league 😉
On or off the court?
One is old who has ALSO had 2 major leg injuries
And yet he’s not the one in street clothes
Klay an unc, Ja a shooter.
Klay old as fuck and two ACL injuries later and still more available than Ja always injured Morant
The man has 4 rings, played with a dynastic team close to 10+ years. Cemented his legacy with “Splash Bros”. Even with catastrophic injuries that man still hooping, got one of thee hottest woman on the planet. Captain Klay can go sink all the battleships for all I care.
Ja meanwhile is Fresh Prince of Bel-Air trying to get street cred like he’s the main character in their own spinoff of Power, Power Book VI: Ja’s Rise and Fall. He’s the try-hard yuppie who needs to act hood cause that makes him look tough, but in truth makes him a scrub.
He’s a fake ass Allen Iverson mixed with Gilbert Arenas, him and Tatum just stealing everyone else’s style and trying their best to make it their own, fuck that noise.
Klay disrespect will not be tolerated
The fact you’re a Cavs fan saying this gives a lot of credo
I genuinely think if you put Klay with someone with defensive gravity again he can be functional again.
He would be great with someone like Luka…..
The “problem” with Klay is that he always wanted to be more than a spot up shooter. It became a problem post injuries, bc he wanted to prove himself again. That was a significant issue in his last chapter with the warriors.
If he accepts that role… just roam around the perimeter off-ball, be content with stretching defenses, and wait for your time to hit a few threes when your defender sags off or leaves to help/rebound… then I think he can still be a decent piece for a little while longer
He let Kerr get into his head by telling him he’s gotta do more now as he’s older instead lol.
Just imagine how good he could be next to a playmaker who could collapse the defense and then dish it out.
Facts- on thunder, cavs, knicks….he would cash
Man, Ja has no right to call someone washed.
Ja is on track to be a bench player by 30. Klay was torching people on both ends of the court and winning rings at the same age as Ja right now.
Klay’s not used to this much losing. It’s getting to him.
He’s 35…. time to learn acceptance, buddy.
That profile pic is insane. And I hate that I know who that is.
Who is it
Edit: nvm I clicked on it and it looks like porn lol
Jamal Murrays girl
She asked for people to not repost it which once again proves- Reddit don’t love nobody
I swear I’ve seen this exact comment chain before in another post
me too haha
Instantly brings me back to pandemic era nba
Who is it?
Jamal Murray’s lady, during an…intimate moment
That he streamed to instagram live lmao
I’m willing to accept $300m in career earnings, early retirement and Megan the Stallion please 🙏🏿
sorry bro. all we can do is minaj and a bucket of rags.
Could Klay have stayed in Golden State if he wanted, or it was a mutual decision?
Org was down to sign him but the rumor is he was going to be off the bench as the sixth man and Klay wouldn’t accept that
He got really pissed off when they started Podz ahead of him. Understandable, but Klay was playing himself into a rut and making bone headed plays. Most players would get pissed when a rookie takes their starting spot.
They also tried to do the normal negotiation song and dance with him, which is normal for most players. Klay wasn’t up for that given his history there and was already feeling frustrated with the front office. Healthiest thing for both parties was to go their own ways.
Hope Klay comes back at some point, but I put his departure more on the front office than on Klay, they fucked that up.
And he wanted to play with Luca and Kyrie. So much for that….
Now’s he’s playing with neither and still coming off the bench and averaging 21mpg on a team currently paced to win 22 games…that must be hard for him. He made a huge mistake leaving and I’m sure he regrets it, idk how he could not.
I thought it was that he wanted more money than they were willing to give him?
No they offered him more than Dallas if I recall correctly.
He took less money than they were offering to go to Dallas.
Both, probably.
Warriors offered more money than Dallas. It was the chance to play with Luka on a team that just made the finals. That’s no longer the case.
warriors gave him an offer 2y/48m, he turned it down saying it was disrespectful, probably because green and curry had much bigger contracts
warriors didnt offer anything else, he offered the warriors he would be willing to sign for that price but the warriors told him they weren’t going to offer it now.
if he was patient they would’ve probably given him that contract he considered disrepectful at first but his pride was hurt.
Wait. Ja didn’t even play? Who’s he calling a bum.
“ask the coaching staff”
Nice
The dude that has so many rings he barely can fit them on one hand.
A lot of words to just say 4 rings
Maybe he’s got 2 fingers
Has been vs a never was
Ja can only dream of the success they klay had
He will never sniff a championship never mind 4
Just 1/4th of it tbh
Ja can flash another gun I guess. That’s his move
Ja would be on the bench in the Chinese league.
Klay has 4 rings, helped build one of the great NBA dynasties, is one of the greatest shooters ever and is now dating Megan Thee Stallion. He is pretty much completely immune to being a bum lol.
Yo on the real, if she called me handsome I’d giggle.
Ja is shooting 17% from 3 and can’t even get on the court. please
he can show up in court though
Context: Klay was talking shh the whole night and has been calling Jaren Jackson Jr a bum since 2022.
The Grizzlies vs Klay beef timeline could have its own post
A beef history if you will
A beef history of time
Beefstory
Him taunting Dillon Brooks as he returns to defense pretty much sums up the animosity.
Did people forget the warriors grizzlies beef. At least from a warriors fan perspective it was probably the biggest “beef” we had with a team recently besides maybe Sacramento? Dray injuring Clarke. Brookes injuring gp2. I’m pretty sure that’s why Steph made fun of T. rex arms the other night too
They’ve had beef since the last vestiges of GnG. Prime Splash Bros were the team to put the final nail in their coffin back in 2015.
A very one sided beef, sans a play in game, but very much beef nonetheless.
Wait what did steph say?
I think he’s referring to Steph’s weird celebration where he was making fun of Suggs(not Bane)
whats his beef w jjj
Jaren tweeted strength in numbers which was the Warriors slogan
Man this is some petty stuff 😂
Klay was 1⁄5 from 2 but 50% from 3… time to stop shooting mid ranges period for klay..
Klays career:
Ja:
I don’t know man I think id rather be klay and it’s not close
You forgot the zero defense by Ja 🥶
I also didn’t add 5th all time in made 3s with the 5th best 3p% in the top 50 for klay….. but I don’t even think we need to tbh
Also part of the most talented backcourt for almost a decade?
Clearly the 2nd best shooter in the world when on GSW.
Could probably be in top 100 or whatever when it lands.
Hilarious coming from Ja lol
Tbf that was a very bum esc final shot
esque*
TN education
*esquire
True but a bit of blame falls on Flagg for acting like he was gonna handoff and then dropping
Yeah, I didn’t understand what the fuck that was by Flagg. And obviously klay was on the same page as everyone else because he was like what the fuck. IMO The defender could’ve hustled and made a play. He just wasn’t expecting Cooper to just drop that shit like that. And there was no reason to be extra aggressive. Because you definitely don’t wanna give up three free throws there if they can get up a shot.
Shooter vs. Shooter
Ja morant might be one of the most electrifying talents, but one of the least likable stars.
dude is 26 and since his ‘good in the west’ has peaked at the semi finals and spent the last 3 years on the bench
now he’s talking shit, from the bench, to an old head who he never beat who is on his way down.
At first i used to compare him to iverson, electrifying but ego wouldn’t let him adjust his game. But iverson personally was always giving credit to his peers, was actually respectful in that regard and a all heart likable guy.
Ja morant and the davonte pack crew are a bunch of clowns. he’s supposed to enter your peak, this is an age where people can mature boy this dude is hard to root for.
You’re thinking way too hard about some back and forth comments. An entire think piece over the most casual shit talk you’ll ever see.
Maybe in the contest of solely this interaction sure the analysis goes too far, however in the grand scheme of things his comment is absolutely spot on.
Anything you disagree with personally?
One of them has 4 rings. The other is actually a bum.
Bruh he’s old and went through ruptured achillies and torn acl. What’s Ja’s reason for being washed at 26?
The 2nd amendment.
First. On the waterfront vibes. Second. Klay has rings. Plural. Third. Morant is a loser.
Ja Morant might just be my least favorite nba player in all my 35+ years of watching the NBA.
Draymond and Pat Beverley have joined the chat
Unbelievable to put Dray in the same category as a bunch of nobodies (and a fucking woman beater) lol
Dude who grew up in a gated community and went to private schools but likes to cosplay as a gang banger.
Starter on 4 GSW championship teams, 37 points in one quarter, #5 in all time career 3 pointers made, career 57.3% true shooting.
Morant is the actual bum.
Crazy work coming from a guy who hasn’t done a damn thing in the league
Insert Spiderman pointing meme
At least he has a long and established track record of not being a bum.
Seriously, Ja talks a lot of shit for a guy who always misses a bunch of games, who’s only 26 yet has seen his scoring drop every year for 4 straight years, and who has won a grand total of 1 playoff series in his career.
Maybe you should start by playing like a guy worthy of being paid $40 million.
Yup, I’m glad the Warriors and Lakers shut down the Grizzlies and Ja back when they were talking a lot and though they ran the west before they even won anything
Got bums getting in the face of legends like LeBron and Curry lmao
Klay is a lot of things, a bum ain’t one of them.
Ja is a loser. Basketball aside, he’s just a straight up loser. You want to include basketball in the conversation, one of them is a HOFer and the other is a flash in the pan that was so brief that flash won’t be worth a mention in a few years and he’ll be known for being a “oh yeah, I remember that guy, didn’t he do a bunch of dumb shit?”
Ja saying this in street clothes is hilarious. Hes never even made it out the west
Lol. Klay’s got rings. Ja’s got nothing but trouble.
Correction: nothing happened
Ja beefing with Klay lmao he still remembers 2022 Semis
makes sense ja would remember that series since it’s been all downhill for him since then lmao
lol Ja is shooting .167 from 3 this year dude, you’re the bum dude lol
Klay too sensitive to talk as much trash as he does.
I’d troll Klay too after seeing that dumbass shot he threw up at the end😂😂
One is one of the best shooters to ever play the game, the other is a bum.
Morants in street clothes and on the bench, Klay at this point is a shell of himself but he’s still actually playing.
Nobody and I mean nobody could get hotter than Thompson in his prime from 3. Yes Even Steph Curry couldn’t get hotter.
Klay has always had a bitchy behavior, but somehow has a nice guy reputation
Nah there’s just like 5 things he’s done in the heat of the moment people constantly bring up, ignoring how he acts 99% of the other time
This is so depressing.
Klay is a 4 time champion who goes home to Megan thee stallion. I wouldn’t call that a bum in any regards
How dare he? That bum
Calling someone a bum is reserved for keyboard warriors on r/nba
The horror
Wait let’s count rings… you go first.
Ja really is still just a high school kid.
Ja really has no self awareness lol. How about getting your act together like your coach says 🤣 what a loser
Ja has a losers mentality
Im siding with Klay on this one
He was always an obnoxious dunk merchant
