Hilarious & Heartwarming Moment As NBA’s Ja Morant Tips Ecstatic Waitress $500 in Viral Video

When you are abundant, it’s so easy to spread joy into the world.

NBA star Ja Morant provided a hilarious and heartwarming moment for the internet when his videographer “Shot By Nie”  filmed a video of the baller leaving a $500 tip for an ecstatic waitress, who kind of knew who he was.

The 22-year-old Morant was being filmed as part of a docu-series on YouTube by his videographer “Shot By Nie” at the time of the viral exchange. Morant and his friends were at lunch in a Florida restaurant when the rising NBA star tipped the waitress $500.

“Who are you?” she jokingly asked after receiving the generous tip.

“I’m Black Jesus,” he deadpans back. “Naw you some kind of professional, what do you play, football? Basketball?” she asks.

Morant responded in the affirmative for the latter, before the befuddled waitress asks him who he plays for, and that’s when she starts putting together who is sitting in front of her.

When he tells her he plays for the Memphis Grizzlies, a member of the table entourage joked “your new favorite team.” Suddenly the waitress opens her eyes wide, drops her mouth in shock as she recognizes who just made her night.

“That’s the team that boy, Ja, plays for. That’s him?” she exclaims as she points at Morant. “That’s him! You that boy!” she says in disbelief before running off in excitement to tell her co-workers.

Meanwhile, Morant’s Grizzlies’ teammate Jaren Jackson Jr. took to Twitter afterwards to relish the fact that “Black Jesus” was trending on social media.

The 22-year-old Morant, who was drafted our of Murray State as the No. 2 overall pick for Memphis in the 2019 NBA draft, has a large social media following who actually appreciates his down to earth, keep it real personality.
