Talking on social media is one thing. To support it with your conduct is a different matter entirely.
No, we’re not referring about the disgraced point guard Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies. We are referring to his trash-talking daughter Kaari, who gained notoriety after playing up to the camera while scoring a basket on her mother.
Fans of Kaari Dixon’s mother, KK Dixon, couldn’t get enough of the humorous video that she shared on TikTok. It was reposted by multiple prominent outlets.
At the beginning of the video, the 4-year-old hooper carves out a personal time for the viewers. Kaari says, “I got this, y’all,” then insults her mother and ends the sentence with a firm thumbs down.
Dixon jokingly said, “I know she did not just say my mom is poo,” in the video’s caption. After making a controversial basket, Kaari returned to flex in front of the camera, yelling, “You see what I got!” in a Morant-esque manner.
She looks to have basketball star written all over her, what with her aggressive trash talk, basketball abilities, and acute sense of where the camera is at all times. The 4-year-old isn’t afraid of the limelight either; her Instagram account boasts over 200,000 followers, which is more than four times her mother’s following.
When will Ja Morant be eligible to return from suspension to the Grizzlies?
After repeatedly posting pictures of himself with a pistol on Instagram, Ja Morant was suspended for 25 games for “conduct detrimental to the NBA”. Memphis has struggled to find its star thus far, winning only six of its first 20 games this season (6-14). The good news for Grizzlies supporters is that Morant might be back in time for their game against the New Orleans Pelicans on December 19—that is, less than two weeks from now.
The Grizzlies should consider calling Kaari if they require any additional assistance in the interim.
