“Absolute dumba**”: NBA fans go off at Ja Morant for gunshot celebration

Ja Morant recently sparked controversy with his gunshot celebration after a game-winning alley-oop against the New Orleans Pelicans.

The celebration quickly went viral on the Internet.

"Ja is an absolute dumb***", one fan said.

While his gunshot celebration sparked criticism, fans also applauded him for his performance in the game. He finished with 31 points, seven assists, five rebounds with 50% shooting accuracy and two blocks.

The Grizzlies have turned their season around dramatically. Fueled by Ja Morant's play and Jaren Jackson Jr.'s stifling defence, the Memphis Grizzlies are clawing their way back into the postseason picture. Their decisive victory over the Pelicans, powered by clutch free throws and lockdown defence, was a testament to their growing resolve.

Ja Morant's return and the Grizzlies' winning streak

Ja Morant returned to the NBA with a bang after serving a 25-game suspension. His comeback was marked by a game-winning performance against the New Orleans Pelicans, where he scored 34 points, including a game-winning floater at the buzzer.

In his first home game against the Indiana Pacers, Morant tallied 20 points and eight assists. He posted his first double-double of the season with 30 points and 11 assists against the Atlanta Hawks.

Since his return, the Grizzlies' winning streak has reached four games.
