Morant has been impressive for the Grizzlies (20-13) this season. However, he might need to use that move in their next few games as they've lost two straight games since his "I'm fine" comments.

Ja Morant is underestimating his competition in the West

There's no denying that Ja Morant is one extremely talented rising star. His talent is up to par with the best players in the NBA, which has helped the Memphis Grizzlies get back on the map. Morant's stardom is something that has been fun to watch as Memphis continues to rise to the top.

As condifent as Morant has been in the past few games, it's concerning to most people that the team's efforts to back him up have been lackluster. Prior to their Christmas Day game against the defending champions Golden State Warriors, the one-time All-Star had the opportunity to sit down with ESPN's Malika Andrews.

During the interview, Morant was asked by Andrews which teams he considers threats in their quest to win the title. The high-flying guard simply mentioned the Boston Celtics as a real threat to their season. When asked if there are any teams in the Western Conference that pose a problem, he answered, "I'm fine in the West."

Malika Andrews: "Who do you look at around the league as you're studying and say, 'We're gonna have to run through them?'"

Ja Morant: "Celtics"

Malik Andrews: "No one in the West."

Ja Morant: "Nah. I'm fine in the West."

Based on their recent performances, they were awakened to see that the West is packed with talented teams. After losing to the Warriors 123-109 on Christmas, Memphis had trouble getting back into the winning column, losing 125-108 on Wednesday in a bout against the Phoenix Suns, who were without their star, Devin Booker.

Ja Morant and the Grizzlies may be the league's most confident bunch, but haven't been able to back up their claims. For fans to take themselves seriously, Memphis has to acknowledge the other team's talents.
