Ja MorantMurray State star and projected NBA lottery pick Ja Morant takes a shot at some Q&A with Post columnist Steve Serby.
Q: If you could pick the brain of any player in NBA history, who would it be?
A: I would probably say Kobe [Bryant]. … Because like a dog, killer mentality he has. I would ask questions about like: What did he do? That type of stuff, and I guess what was his mindset.
Q: How would you describe your on-court mentality?
A: I have that same mentality, I just play with this chip on my shoulder coming from being under the radar in high school and stuff. That’s my mentality, just a killer mentality.
Q: So am I talking to Black Mamba II?
