Memphis Grizzlies rookie point guard Ja Morant may be only 20-years-old, but he's not your normal 20-year-old.
In fact, Morant made an admission on Twitter on Saturday, saying he's pretty bad at video games, which is pretty strange considering most youngsters are experts in the field.
However, Ja has always spent his time on the court working on his craft instead of playing video games. It's why he was selected by the Grizzlies with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.
It has been three days since the NBA suspension due to the coronavirus and Morant is already ready to play ball for the Grizzlies again.
i’m so trash at video games 😂😂🤦🏽♂️

Ja Morant and the Grizzlies went 32-33 before the NBA suspended the season. If the campaign starts back up again, the team will be in eighth place in the Western Conference standings.
Morant was the front-runner for the 2020 NBA Rookie of the Year Award. He has appeared in 59 games for Memphis this 2019-20, averaging 17.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 6.9 assists while shooting 49.1 percent from the field, 36.7 percent from beyond the arc and 77.0 percent from the free-throw line.
The Grizzlies would face LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2020 playoffs if they remain in the eighth spot and the season resumes. Basketball fans are praying the coronavirus pandemic dies down so that the NBA playoffs can remain.
The Grizzlies are fortunate they were able to replace Mike Conley and Marc Gasol with Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr, respectively.
