ESPN Embarrassingly Ran Entire Segment On Fake Ballsack Sports Ja Morant Quote

Twitter parody account Ballsack Sports has fooled numerous people in the last couple of months. Even some NBA personalities and Fox News were under its victims.

Now, Ballsack Sports has fooled ESPN to run an entire fake segment on a fake Ja Morant quote.

While Morant indeed made the news with a Michael Jordan quote the other day, when he said that he would have cooked Michael Jordan had he played him in the same era. Ballsack Sports used this story and extended it with some fake details.

Ja Morant says Michael Jordan would be “just another superstar” in today’s game—says today’s talent is at all time high. pic.twitter.com/eAGTjfiFQS

ESPN picked it up and accidentally ran with it as a news story. While this is pretty hilarious for fans and also Ballsack Sports, it’s very embarrassing for the network. They even quoted Bleacher Report, who the actual quote from Morant is from, as source.

he absolutely did not say this in the interview. and I can’t believe it was broadcast that he did. there should be a correction issued for that. @espn https://t.co/F7x5Jt5r2Z
