Ja Morant signs the largest contract in team history and then days later is coaching up dudes from the bench at Summer League in Utah. Leadership isn’t just words. It’s actions.

Ja Morant didn’t get a vote from NBA GMs for best point guard in the NBA. Not that Ja needs extra motivation, but that’s wild.

The Memphis Grizzlies are the model NBA franchise and America’s Team. Ja Morant is the light in the small market darkness. It’s a beautiful time. And some of y’all wanted to fire the coach and trade the 22-year-old unicorn two months ago lolz

People who trash Memphis, in my experience, usually fit in 1 of 3 categories.
1. Have never been and allow prejudices and fears of others dictate their opinions.
2. Are racist.
3. Had a bad experience - one that can be had in any city or metropolitan area - and can’t move on.

Murray State’s Ja Morant, a “washed” Steven Adams, a one D-1 scholarship offer Desmond Bane, a “too old, too short” Brandon Clarke, a “who the hell is that” pick Santi Aldama, a “here to be traded” Jarrett Culver, an “injured in college” Killian Tillie…
Memphis leads by 16.

Ja Morant is the most important prospect in the history of the Memphis Grizzlies franchise. The first “you can compete for a title with that dude as the head of the snake” guy they’ve had.
It’s one game of 82. Not too high. Not too low. On to the next one.

Did some research about Marcus Smart the person - a great fit for what the Memphis Grizzlies need. This dude invests in his community. He supports kids and families in need. He helped establish a family environment in the locker room in Boston.
He is EXACTLY what Memphis needs.

Saw Ja Morant give his shoes to a young fan. Memphis is so lucky - from the Core Four to this. I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again, lightning has struck twice for the Grizzlies. Organic, real love is rare in modern pro sports. Morant is well on his way. Kudos - Ja gets it.

The disdain for Dillon Brooks is sad. I remember what he had to be in his rookie year, his toughness. You can trade other pieces to improve the team besides Dillon. Can even keep Dillon and get an OG Anunoby (will cost more in picks).
I’m staying on Dillon Brooks Island.

I’ll be honest and admit that I was worried about this as well at first.
But guess what I did instead of fire off a hot take?
I did some research and saw it’s a New Orleans dance. LSU players do it. It was trash talk.

Because they’re trying to help a 23-year-old young man and sometimes rehabilitation from the behavior should be the priority over punishment. But that’s counter-intuitive in our society, unfortunately
Why haven’t Memphis Grizzlies suspended Ja Morant for gun video?

Ja is Memphis’ Steph. Jaren is Draymond. Bane is Klay. Pieces around them can move. That’s the core.
Desmond Bane is a top 5 shooter in the NBA. Unreal 3pt shot diet—ELITE off the pump-fake and rhythm dribble. Exquisite handoff synergy with Adams. Crossover pull-ups. Best top of the key spot-ups in the league. 43% pull-up. 44% spot-up. 18th percentile in openness. Flamethrower.

I love Mike Conley very much but he’s not close in his prime to what this Ja Morant is. Mike’s prime IMO was the 2017 playoff series with the Spurs when he went against Kawhi. Ja at 22 has been the best player on the floor while playing LeBron, KD, and more.
It’s a wrap. Onward.
