Ja Morant is hardly the most disciplined guy in the NBA. His recent suspensions suggest that much. But the Memphis Grizzlies point guard is being lauded for his admirable “eye discipline” following footage of a recent interview with a smoking hot reporter.
Photos from an on-court chat with Kelcey Wright Johnson have gone viral on X, with one fan pointing out how Ja managed to stay focused while speaking to Johnson, who would certainly understand it if any man were to stare.
Brutha was having a “not today Satan” moment…

Good going, Ja.
Having his daughter there certainly didn’t hurt.
The interview is from after the Grizzlies’ victory over the San Antonio Spurs last Tuesday. Morant scored 26 points on the night, adding 5 rebounds, 10 assists, and one steal. You can check it out in full right below:
