Morant has a younger sister, Teniya, who grew up playing basketball with him in their backyard and now competes for Hillcrest Middle School in Dalzell.[1][78] He has the words "beneath no one”, advice his mother gave him, tattooed on his left arm.[1] Morant's favorite artist is rapper Lil Baby. His athleticism often draws comparisons to Russell Westbrook, who Morant said is his favorite player because Westbrook is often overlooked, just like he was by college recruiters in high school.[79]
