WATCH: Hilarious Ja Morant Video Goes Viral

In this story:
Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has everybody on the team yelling, "It's a parade inside my city, yeah!" The lyrics from NBA YoungBoy's song "Fresh Prince of Utah" have become somewhat of an anthem for Memphis, as the movement has now spread to sideline reporters.
During Luke Kennard's on-court interview after Friday night's win over the Milwaukee Bucks, Morant ran over and had the sideline reporter yell, "It's a parade inside my city, yeah!" The hilarious video has been blowing up on Twitter, as fans both in Memphis and around the league appreciate fun moments like this:

The Grizzlies are having a lot of fun right now, and secured the second seed in the Western Conference with their win over Milwaukee. Despite injuries suffered to both Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke, there is a level of confidence in Memphis that they can take this all the way.
When Morant was suspended by the NBA, there was a lot of national pessimism about where Memphis was trending. The team was able to stay afloat in his absence, and have been thriving since he returned. There is no easy matchup in the Western Conference, but the Grizzlies look well-equipped to make some noise, and they have the positive vibes right now as well.
Led by Ja Morant, the Grizzlies hope this can be a special postseason run.
