Ja Morant's sister Niya goes off against her brother's critics after Stella's...

doubted him. The young star only needed one game after that 25-game suspension to help up remember he is one of the most exciting talents the league has ever produced. A buzzer beater to win the game for the Grizzlies agianst the Pelicans on Tuesday was more than enough for them. But as perhaps most of his family still can’t see, the criticism against Ja Morant has nothing to do with his basketball skills. They can thrash critics all they want but that will never change the fact that Ja needs to mature and realize he is a role model for American children across the country. He needs to always offer his best image and lead by example

Ja Morant’s sister goes off
One of the family members who didn’t get the criticism against Ja Morant is his sister Niya, who probably did get a lot of harrassment online from trolls. She likely responded to many of those attacks by saying: “That’s why I love that y’all talk so much like I love that y’all came over and y’all would talk so much to me. I loved it so I could come here today on this day today and tell y’all that he’s him, tell y’all that he’s him. Tell y’all he’s him. It’s 12 time baby, nothing else 12 time ni***. I waited on this day for this long, I waited just so I could come over here and tell y’all, just so I could come here and tell y’all, that he’s him, he’s him. Literally, him, like y’all knew what it was.”

Now that Ja Morant is back on the court, let’s all hope he is better advised and he stays out of trouble out on the streets. Checking on his circle of friends and filtering it would also be a great idea. If he doesn’t listen to the warnings from people who actually want to see him thrive and reach his true potential, Ja Morant is doomed to make the same mistakes. We agree with every member of his family who has their head held high after last night’s performance but they completely miss the point of the criticism.
