Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant had an amusing response to The Rock taking a jab at him on last night\'s Friday Night SmackDown. He saw The People\'s Champ\'s little remark about him like everyone else.
Ja Morant replied to The Rock\'s dig at his gun situation by simply giving an animated gif in response. This paticular gif showed 50 Cent asking what TF did he do.
The Rock\'s Jab at Ja Morant
\'The Great One\' has embraced his heel side, and he has been dropping bombshells on the mic week after week. He also took over the blue brand with a musical segment for the Memphis crowd.
During the musical affair on this week\'s SmackDown, The Rock took a jibe at Morant and dropped a reference to his controversy involving a gun. \"The Rock\" sang the following:
\"You\'re simply an embarrassment, son. Just like Ja Morant when he\'s waving a gun. I love you, Ja!\

Context
NBA suspended the Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant for as many as 25 games without pay due to the gun controversy. This marked his second major suspension in a couple of months after his appearance on social media, waving a gun.
It\'s worth noting that after he departed a social event in Memphis on May 13, Morant went on to take a selfie in a car and posed with his gun on a live stream. A statement from the NBA stated that he had already served an eight-game, non-paying suspension for having a gun on March 4 during a livestream at a club in the Denver area while also being intoxicated.
Ja Morant responds
Despite being in hot waters, Morant took the jab sportingly and responded to The Rock on social media. He posted the popular 50 Cent meme which was the \"What I Do\" meme from a previous dispute that 50 Cent had about boxing legend Floyd Mayweather.

Currently, Morant is recuperating from shoulder surgery and has been on the sidelines. Following his suspension, in January he sustained a separated shoulder which put him on the shelf for the rest of the season.
Meanwhile, The Rock is set to team up with Roman Reigns and take on the team of Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins on Night One of WrestleMania 40. If the heels win the big Mania match, then it will be Bloodline Rules for Cody vs Roman on night 2.
