Ja is getting real.

Following the Golden State Warriors win over the Celtics in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, Klay Thompson called out Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. for his “strength in numbers” tweet he posted during the Western Conference semifinals series against Golden State. Shortly after, Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant responded to Klay’s comments with a tweet claiming that Memphis lives in the heads of the Warriors, specifically Thompson, rent free.

Draymond had a pretty epic response on Saturday night.

Ja has been keeping busy on Twitter, and is even answering fan’s inquiries about him. One fan asked him why he remains Thuggin on Twitter, because he’s rich.

Not sure what point Ja is trying to get across here, but he’s an NBA player, one that gets paid very well to put a ball through a basket.

He’d be much better off staying as far away from Social Media as possible, but it seems like he likes the image he’s perpetuating.

Ja gonna be Ja.
