Ja Morant got some guts. According to him in a recent interview, he would have ‘cooked’ NBA legend Michael Jordan in his era. Ja’s confidence level is really high.
According to TPS;
Speaking with Taylor Rooks of Bleacher Report, the Memphis Grizzlies superstar said he would have loved to play in Jordan’s era. The 22-year-old gave Jordan his flowers but said he would have “cooked” him if they played in the same era.
“I wish I played in his generation,” Morant said. “I heard he was, like how high he go about the game, just that mindset. I would have liked to play against him.
“I would have cooked him. I would have cooked him, too. Nobody got more confidence than 12. I’ll say nobody gon’ beat me one-on-one or anything. I don’t care what it is, what sports it is, soccer. Who’s the best player in soccer? Come on, we can play.”
Morant did not stop at the GOAT of basketball, he also went on to challenge Lionel Messi to a shootout. He then said he would like to play goalie against Messi.
“I wanna be the goalie. Somebody set it up,” Morant said.
The streets are saying he was lying about cooking the GOAT because he was trying to impress Bleacher Reports Taylor Rooks who could be expanding her horizons to the NFL.
Amazon is targeting Bleacher Report‘s Taylor Rooks for its primetime Thursday Night Football coverage this fall, according to a report from Front Office Sports.
Amazon is interested in adding Rooks after she expressed an interest in doing more NFL coverage. Rooks has been primarily covering the NBA for Bleacher Report and Turner Sports.
“Just being from Georgia, in the South, I grew up loving football,” Rooks told Barrett Sports Media.
“My dad played football. It was a football house. I love basketball—I love them both, but I just love football a little bit more. I’ve gotten kind of sucked into doing mainly NBA, which is great and has led to so many amazing experiences, but I just wish I had more of a hand in football. I would love to be able to do more of that,” she continued.
