BREAKING NEWS: NBA Official Awards Best Baseball Player to… Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies?
In a stunning and thoroughly confusing turn of events, the NBA has officially awarded Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant the title of “Best Baseball Player” — despite him never having played a single professional baseball game.
The announcement came during what was supposed to be a routine press conference about end-of-season awards. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver appeared visibly puzzled when he read off the teleprompter:
“And now, for the award of Best Baseball Player in the NBA… Ja Morant.”
Reporters immediately erupted in laughter and confusion, with one asking, “Wait, what sport are we even talking about?”
Sources later revealed that a clerical error caused the award to be miscategorized — originally intended to honor Ja Morant for “Best Fast Break Finisher,” it somehow got filed under MLB-style awards. By the time the mistake was caught, memes had already gone viral, featuring Ja Morant in a Yankees cap, swinging a bat made of basketball netting.
Ja Morant responded to the news on social media with a simple post:
“Guess I’m two-sport now.”
The MLB has yet to comment, but the Memphis Redbirds (the city’s Triple-A baseball team) have already offered Ja a tryout “just in case.”
