"Don’t be like my son, always playing with guns": Fans hilariously speculate Ja Morant's dad Tee Morant's message to Bronny James

Fans reacted with humor after videos surfaced on social media showing Ja Morant’s father, Tee Morant, in conversation with LeBron James’ son, Bronny James. The Memphis Grizzlies faced the LA Lakers on Wednesday, securing a blowout 131-114 victory. Tee Morant attended the game at FedExForum to watch the high-profile matchup between the two Western Conference teams.

Tee Morant shared a warm embrace with Bronny during the pregame shootaround and again after the game. In the video, he is talking to Bronny, though the details of their conversation remain unknown.

Fans quickly reacted as the video circulated online, with many humorously speculating about what Tee Morant might have said to Bronny.

"Don’t be like my son, always playing with guns and shit," a fan commented.

"Man he got it from his daddy tho. Tee was great hooper but he was actually from the streets, his son just being yung, rich n dumb," commented another fan.

"Nice, now if bronny goes on IG live with guns at the club we know who influenced him," said another.

"Dont do IG Lives like my boy," wrote another user.

"Whispers: delete instagram," another fan wrote.

"Im gonna show you some guns.. comes to my house.. my son will show you how the hood is," another X user wrote.

Fans’ reactions referenced Ja Morant’s incident from last year, when he waved a gun on Instagram Live, resulting in a 25-game suspension from the NBA. The Memphis Grizzlies superstar was sidelined for the first 25 games of the 2023-24 season.

Bronny James played against Memphis Grizzlies

Bronny James, who has seen limited playing time in his rookie season with the Lakers, had a chance to showcase his skills against the Memphis Grizzlies. Lakers coach JJ Redick subbed Bronny in during garbage time, with the game’s outcome already decided.

In his five minutes on the court, LeBron James’ son missed both of his field goal attempts from beyond the arc but scored two points by sinking a pair of free throws.
