ESPN Host Apologizes For Fake Quote Disrespecting Michael Jordan Wrongly Attributed To Ja Morant

July 12, 2022

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant is well-known for talking that big talk on and off the court, but that doesn’t mean new outlets get to misquote the NBA star and make it sound like he’s disrespecting arguably the greatest basketball player of all time.

That’s why David Jacoby, host of ESPN’s This Just In, has apologized for reading on the show Monday a fake quote attributed to Morant, who was accused of saying  Michael Jordan would be considered “just another superstar” if he were playing today. The thing Morant never said was supposedly said during an hour-long interview with sports journalist Taylor Rooks.

Not only did Morant not say Jordan would have been “just another superstar,” but he mostly said the opposite thing.
