Crazy, Morant is crazy! Publicly insulting the 4-time crown marksman

Grizzlies (10th in the Western Conference) 102-96 Mavericks (13th in the Western Conference), an unremarkable battle, but the conflict ignited the topic.

Morant, who was absent from this game due to a first-degree strain of his right calf, had a conflict with Thompson after the game. He pointed at the latter's nose and yelled: "You are a waste now, a freeloader."

A person who can't play, actually scolded a freeloader who played on the field? Wouldn't it be contrary to Tiangang?

Thompson responded unceremoniously to Morant: "This guy is very interesting. He always talks a lot but rarely takes responsibility."

So far this season, the 35-year-old Thompson has appeared In 17 games, he averaged 10.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and a field goal percentage of 34.7%. The 26-year-old Morant played in 12 games, averaging 17.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 3.8 turnovers, and 1 steal per game, with a field goal percentage of 35.9%.

Throughout their NBA careers, Thompson holds 4 championship rings and has been selected to the All-Stars 5 times, etc.; Morant has not yet won any major honors, being selected for the Most Improved Player Award once, and being selected to the All-Stars 2 times, etc.

So for a veteran with great achievements, Morant, as a junior, had better have respect. Netizens have made criticisms, as follows:

There was another disharmonious scene in this campaign. Grizzlies player A Aldama suddenly grabbed Flagg, who was running forward, and pulled him down. Then he immediately tried to help him up with an innocent look on his face...

How dare you hurt Flagg, the "Son of America"? As a Spaniard, Aldama doesn't want to be in the NBA? The referee punished Aldama for his improper behavior on the spot and whistled him for a first-level flagrant foul. Thompson stepped forward to confront his little brother.

Regarding the various behaviors of the Grizzlies today, Thompson was furious and said: "I have seen the Grizzlies playing dirty in the 22nd playoffs. I really don't like to see this kind of thing happen to a rookie now. This is too unkind. Don't be so dirty."

In Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals of the 2022 playoffs, Warriors player Payton was flagrantly fouled by then-Grizzlies player Dillon when he broke through. He lost balance in the air and fell to the ground and broke his elbow, which eventually resulted in a fracture of his left elbow.

Basketball is not about fighting, but a competitive sport. Many things should not be taken too far, otherwise it will easily be backlashed.
