One of the most popular players in the NBA right now is Ja Morant. The 2019 draft pick is expected to go on to become one of the league’s best players, if not the greatest basketball player ever. Given the lofty expectations that were placed on him and the supporting statistics and performances, it’s understandable why he was passed up for a rookie max agreement for $231 million last year.

The money they make when they get pro is like a blessing for a lot of young players. Some choose the safe approach, putting some money aside and diversifying their portfolio with wise investments. Some people lose their minds.

Ja Morant, the star of the Memphis Grizzlies, was one such player who went a little crazy with his newfound money. With his rookie contract, the young guy has spent his money on jewelry, many automobiles, and even a $1.3 million house. He became even more insane once he signed his deal, as one would expect.

The $3 million purchase of the adjacent home by the All-Star point guard, who gave his previous one to his parents, was a major financial commitment. And how did he use it? ensured that he could live independently of his parents.

Ja Morant certainly has an excessive spending habit. However, there have also been moments when he has made everyone around him happier. Just ask the Dallas-based waitress who didn’t even recognize him, despite receiving a $500 tip. The woman was overjoyed to learn this. And Ja made sure she was converted to a Memphis Grizzlies fan when she did.
It only goes to show that these guys never forget their roots, even with all of their money. They thus constantly seek out opportunities to give back to the community.
