Ja Meets Ja
A Grizzly met a giraffe last week when Ja Morant met Ja Raffe, the Memphis Zoo’s new baby giraffe named for Morant. The two met Friday and made some MEMernet gold.

In his own Twitter video of the meet-up, Morant said, “If I ever did a dunk contest, I’m taking my son [Ja Raffe] with me. I’m going to jump over him.”
Morant’s zoo visit also included visits to other animals. He fed Rhatu, the Sumatran tiger, by flinging a Flintstones-sized drumstick into the enclosure. He had to clear the moat, though. He did. He shot. He scored.
