NBA All-Star Weekend officially begins on Friday night, which means everyone is either traveling or already in Cleveland. Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant meanwhile hopped on a private jet with friends and family then went live on Instagram, hilariously taking shots in the video. By no surprise, a ton of fans tuned in, with one daring him to take another swig of tequila. Ja had the perfect response to her:

Ja Morant won't take the floor until Sunday night when he starts for Team Durant, which means he does have some time to recover. Considering how the Grizzlies point guard was chugging that bottle, he may be feeling a bit hungover on Saturday.
All jokes aside though, he deserves this moment. Ja has been showing out this season for Memphis, who currently sit at 41-19 on the season. The third-year player out of Murray State is averaging 26.8 points, 6.9 assists, and 5.9 rebounds while shooting almost 50% from the field. While the Grizzlies do possess a very complete roster, Morant is the number one reason they're in third place in the West.
It was only a matter of time until Ja Morant was an All-Star and he's finally being rewarded. The 22-year-old is must-see TV every time he steps on the court and will surely be ready to light it up on the big stage. Ja already voiced he's gunning for MVP. A tall order, but anything is possible when you have his confidence.
