Ja Morant's dad Tee told ESPN that one of the banned Jazz fans said to him: "I'll put a nickel in your back and watch you dance, boy."
Another made a sexually explicit remark to Ja's mom Jamie. The third told her: "Shut the f--- up, b----."
Damn this is so sad and disgusting
"I know heckling," Tee Morant said in a phone interview with ESPN on Thursday night. "We were doing that the whole game. But that's different than heckling. That's straight up disrespectful. That was too far out of line. You don't say nothing like that heckling. That's beyond heckling."
Tee Morant said one fan made a sexually explicit remark to his wife, Jamie. Tee Morant, who was sitting a couple of seats over, confronted the man before security de-escalated the situation, ejecting the Jazz fan.
According to Tee Morant, another Jazz fan told him, "I'll put a nickel in your back and watch you dance, boy." Several other Jazz fans, who had been enjoying good-spirited trash talk with the Morants and their family friends, confronted that fan and alerted security. Tee Morant said he was shocked that the Jazz fan, who was ejected, made such a comment with the man's young daughter by his side.
The third fan who was ejected yelled at Jamie Morant, "Shut the f--- up, b----," Tee Morant said.
Tee Morant said he was pleased with the response to the incidents by arena security and the Jazz organization. He said he was "able to clear my mind and get back to talking to the great fans" seated around them.
"We were bantering back and forth with a group of fans around us all game," said Tee Morant, who is known for loudly and proudly cheering for his son, often exchanging good-natured trash talk with fans on the road. "We had a good time."
At the end of the game, according to Tee Morant, one of the friendly fans said, "We hope you're back Wednesday, Tee."
Tee Morant's response: "You better know I'm going to be back when we're up 3-1 and close you out."
