Memphis Grizzlies Guard Ja Morant Responds To Miami Heat Guard Kendrick Nunn's Claim For Rookie Of The Year Via Twitter

Miami Heat rookie guard Kendrick Nunn stated in an interview yesterday his case for why he thinks that he deserves to be the NBA Rookie Of The Year. Nunn referenced that his team has a better record than the Grizzlies and because of this, he should be named over Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant.  Morant would later take to Twitter to basically dismiss this notion.

The Memphis Grizzlies official Twitter account tweeted out a video clip of the Morant saying that 'it's mine to lose." to Nunn after the Grizzlies 118-111 victory over the Heat and Morant would quote the tweet saying "It's mine to lose" as well.  Morant would later delete the tweet.

Morant is usually dismissive when asked about Nunn or the Rookie Of The Year race in general but the potential rivalry between the two young guards has all of the ingredients to be a good one.
