BREAKING:Ja Morant’s Triple-Double Fuels $500M Dual-Stadium Legacy In his Honor: Extension Talks Ignite, Memphis Roars!…See More…
Memphis, TN – Ja Morant’s electrifying 26-point, 10-rebound, 10-assist triple-double against Milwaukee on November 7, 2024, lit up FedExForum and ignited a bold vision: the $500 million Ja Morant Legacy Complex, named to cement the All-NBA star’s legacy.
After his 22-point comeback win, Morant tweeted, “Memphis forever!” prompting Beale Street legend Bud Chittom to propose a dual-stadium complex near FedExForum. The 80-acre site would boast a 20,000-seat basketball arena for the Grizzlies and a 40,000-seat football stadium for Memphis Tigers, linked by a Grind City Plaza with a Morant statue soaring over Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, nodding to the 2025 Thunder playoff sweep.Grizzlies GM Zach Kleiman, University of Memphis officials, and Mayor Paul Young are “actively reviewing” the Ja-named project, with a $500M budget pitched through FanDuel’s Grizzlies partnership and local donors. Fans are being polled on X (#JaMorantComplex) to shape the dream.
Morant, with three years left on his $197M contract (through 2027-28), is in talks for a three-year, $150M extension, potentially reaching $200M with All-NBA bonuses, signaling his Memphis devotion. Morant also pledged a $1M youth basketball fund for local kids, earning roars from fans.Despite a 2025 playoff loss and Morant’s hip injury, the dual-stadium vision fuels Grit-and-Grind pride. “Ja’s our soul,” said fan LaToya Harris.
