Ja Morant Shares Heartfelt Message
During Ja Morant's tryouts during his AAU team, he shared a very deep and heartfelt moment where he opened up about his trials and errors. It was a moment that really showed the reflection of his career.
"I wasn't taking care of myself outside of basketball mentally, so I had to put that upon myself," Morant said to candidates. "Obviously if I'm healthy — you know, mentally emotionally, spiritually — then I'd be good on the court, so I just trust that and continue to pray."
It's no secret what Ja Morant went through this past year. Every single moment has been open to the public and open to complete scrutiny from people who don't even know him. That level of transparency is what helped him really learn through it at all.
"Basically my message right now is everything I went through in my life, stuff I had to learn, obstacles I had to get over," Morant said. "I'm pretty sure everybody in the room know what this last year been for me. ... It's been rough, but having y'all actually be here, this is what makes me smile. This is my life right now. This is what's keeping me going."
It seemed like this season was going to be a redemption tour for Ja Morant. Unfortunately, everything was unexpectedly cut short due to a labral tear. Hopefully, next season can finally be the one where Morant proves his critics wrong.
