Ja Morant was suspended for a long period due to allegedly being involved in inappropriate activities. His suspension has been over and he is now back to compete with others on the court. He was banned for a total of 25 games that ended just last week, and fans are eager to see his journey from now on.
Lil Wayne on Ja Morant
Recently in a conversation with Taylor Rooks, Hip Hop legend praised Ja Morant. The topic was about who is going to be the face of the NBA after LeBron James retires and to that Lil Wayne named Ja.
“To me, the obvious answer is Ja, because the NBA is entertainment. What I mean by that, there was Michael Jordan, which was just like, God. You were always going to watch these Atlanta Hawk games just what Dominique, just to see if he’s going to get one of ‘em off. Ja’s teams are competitive when he’s there, when’s he’s doing his thing.” Lil Wayne said

LeBron James is almost 39, and it is quite obvious that he is going to retire soon. Looking at the impact, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant are the ones who seem to be deserving to become the face of the NBA after LeBron James.
Do you agree?

Fans reaction over Lil Wayne’s statement
The majority of the fans on Twitter disagree with this statement of Lil Wayne. Few did acknowledge that Ja Morant is an entertaining personality in the league. Most of the fans believe that Stephen Curry or Kevin Durant might take that spot as they have been quite influential and are undoubtedly one of the top players of the league.
Ja Morant’s return
On 19th December, Ja played his first match after completing the suspension. He scored 34 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists leading his team to the win. Ja is looking in good form and his return match against the Pelicans has once again created hope among the fans. It would be interesting to see how he advances in the league further as every eye is on him now.
