Over the last few days, it's very clear that Washington Wizards star point guard John Wall and Dallas Mavericks point guard J.J. Barea both do not seem to like each other very much. On Wednesday afternoon, Wizards forward Markieff Morris came to Wall's defense
It all started on Monday when Wall and Barea had a brief argument on the court during the fourth quarter of their game. Afterwards, Wall tried the downplay the whole situation while also taking a shot about Barea's height.
“It was cool to me, it was funny,” Wall said of Barea. “Just a little midget trying to get mad. So, I paid him no mind.”
Once Barea got word of these comments, he lashed back at Wall and said that he wouldn't be surprised if his Wizards teammates didn't even like him.
“Now I have somebody in the NBA that I don’t like. That’s my first. I don’t like him at all now. But I don’t think his teammates like him, either. So it’s nothing new for him.”
Morris, who is now in his third season with the Wizards, was not going to put up with Barea talking trash about Wall for one second and went off on a profanity-laced rant.
Via a tweet on Wednesday from Candace Buckner of The Washington Post:
“He don’t even know us. Like how do you know if we like him or not? What is he talking about,” Morris said on Wednesday. “F— J.J. I heard he was a good dude but you know, you come at my teammate – f— him. Straight like that.”
If you mess with Morris' teammates like Barea did, he will certainly call you out for talking trash.
