On Thursday, Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant downed tequila shots with a newlywed couple at Icebox Diamonds & Watches in Atlanta. The third-year player was seen chilling by expensive necklaces at the jewelry store. He walked in with the new Louis Vuitton messenger bag.
Zahir, one of the store workers, had already prepared tequila shots. βThis is the tequila you requested?β asked Zahir. βCasamigos!β responded Morant.
βYou know, people come in and theyβre like, βOh, I want to take shots like Ja!β I say, βWe sell the bottle to Ja for $10,000.’β
βTell βem! Every time!β responded the NBA All-Star.
After purchasing his own earrings, he called Kaari, his daughter, to ask her if she wanted new earrings. βYou want some earrings?β asked Morant over the phone. βYou need bigger earrings?β
Then Kaari picked out her own pair after Morant sent her pictures to choose from.
Minutes later, Morantβs mom asked him to buy her a Cuban choker necklace. He ended up buying her the necklace for $8,000.

Following the necklace sale, a newlywed couple spotted Morant. Rich folks enjoy shopping at Icebox.

βWho they waving at?β asked Ja Morant. βAre they waving at me? I got some tequila shots if yaβll want some! The lady replied, βOh wow! Yeahβs letβs do it!β Then, the man said, βLetβs go! Letβs go! Thank you.β
Furthermore, the man then showed off his diamond ring to the Grizzlies star. βUh-huh, I see you!β uttered Morant. βLilβ diamonds! Lilβ diamonds!β
After clinking glasses, the woman said, βCheers! Thank you!β Of course, then Morant commented, βOne day, I hope I can get married!β
