Ja Morant became the English teacher of Yuki Kawamura.

Kawamura is the best guard in Asia, but he has yet to establish himself in the NBA. He left Japan for the U.S. in his first season. He is slowly showing his presence.

Morant, the ace of the Memphis Grizzlies, is providing special assistance to the player who is continuing his great challenges. Having expressed his affection for Kawamura for a long time, he has now become an English teacher who sometimes teaches curses.

Kawamura told an interesting episode in an interview with CNN's Hanako Montgomery. "Morant is like an older brother. He teaches me not only basketball skills but also English. He sometimes teaches me bad curses," she said with a smile.

He added, "I don't know if I can say this, but something like 'sxxx'."

Morant's price for teaching Kawamura English is the "Japanese snack." He is known to enjoy Poipul Jellybean.

Kawamura said, "Morant really likes Poifool Jellybean. It seems like he only eats it all the time. (Scarty) Pippen Jr. really likes Kinokonoyama chocolate, so he always takes it from my locker room."

Kawamura's relationship with Morant runs deeper than this. In particular, Morant's daughter Kari is also a great fan of Kawamura.

Kari also recently cheered for Kawamura's G-League game. He watched the game with a cheering tool with Kawamura's photo on it. Kawamura also gave Kari a warm hug after the game.

Kawamura said of Kari, "I love it. He always gives me energy not only in the G-League but also in the NBA. I wanted to win for him, but I feel so bad that I lost. I'm disappointed in the result," adding, "Kari is my 'GOAT.'"

Meanwhile, Kawamura is a "small giant" that not only Japan but also Asia boast of. Despite his small height of 172 centimeters, Kawamura has the title of Asia's best guard and eventually got attention from the NBA and headed to the U.S. 메이저놀이터

Kawamura signed an Exhibit 10 deal with Memphis in September last year and played in five preseason games. And in October, he was definitely recognized by signing a two-way deal.

He has played in 20 games and posted an average of 1.2 points and 0.7 assists in the NBA this season. In the G-League, he has played in 18 games with an average of 12.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 8.6 assists and 1.3 steals.

Kawamura said, "I met my precious teammates and friends in the United States. Life with them is really the best."
