Wtf does where you rested your head have to do with anything? lol You don't know where or who he was around. You know how many guys ik that ended up moving to nicer areas that still came back to the hood and would end up in jail/prison?😂Where you rest your head doesn't govern who you are
He plays very aggressively and sporadic. Easy to get injured that way, i.e. Lemelo Ball, D. Rose. Very fast pace, aggressively drives to the basket no matter who is in the way.
Also DWade, there was a reason he was knicknamed Flash. This type of size and play style are bound to be injuried. You would want to transform your body before that one big injury. Even Tim Duncan was jumping, dunking and flying, he got injuried and changed his signature boring style, which extended his career and got more rings
@@haoye2413 DeMar DeRozan was a big high flyer as well but now he plays with pace and grace. Still will punch it on you but he changed his game as well like you said
I never understand why in these situations there is no one in the coaching stuff who steps in: His game needs to take this next step of maturity: Even Jordan came into the league with his crazy athleticism and recklessness and got hurt. But eventually he bulked up, and played much more under control - but there needs to be someone there in the coaching staff to help Ja get there.
We have no idea what’s going on behind the scenes. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone has told Ja that but Ja does what he wants and isn’t gonna be told what got him to the league is bad for him
@@Thatmane55if he’s talking about the role Ant is playing, he’s right.. the next great American superstar, especially two niggas from the hood. Ant filled that role perfectly in ja’s absence
I’m not worried about any off the court stuff happening, It seems he’s matured a lot over the last year. I’m just worried he will turn out like D Rose. I really hope he has a full season without injuries.
Their roster isn't the same, they don't have Steven Adams or Dillon Brooks, who were starters when they were good. Also we have no reason Ja will make any sort of leap, he is a blake griffin type archetype that peaks early because he's a guard that is an inefficient shooter whose game relies on his vertical which peaks early. They will be a ply in team at best. I'll come back to this comment a year from now.
you cooking also if ja gets a really major injury that hinders his athleticism which i hope he doesn’t it will also be devastating since he can’t shoot and relies on driving to the rim
I dont feel he has been forgotten at all. He basically missed the entire season last year. A lot of videos like these saying/asking "forgotten" or left behind. But most people still having Grizzleys making the playoff (not by play-in either)
He was literally injured wth, that's just like m saying that to zion who's basically been hurt all the time, what are they supposed to do they gonna end up like kwai if they don't rest
Derrick Rose never threw himself at the rim lol. He like Tony Parker were 2 of the greatest PGs at finishing around contact smh. And when he did dunk 40% of the time if was on a defender it was a legit poster. Ja plays like Lebron James he just tries to finish over you or through you lol but he's not 6'9 260. Seriously Rose would use floaters, eurosteps, hop steps, spin layups and jackknifing his way to the rim. It's why his knees took so much punishment he was putting so much pressure on them from his herky jerky playstyle. Ja isn't nearly as good with body control as Rose or even a John Wall who was able spin dunk/layup could finish with either hand as well. Man I'm sorry to say this but these guys aren't that skilled they can shoot the 3 better but overall basketball skill and IQ is a skill noway in heck
The Grizzlies also overhauled their coaching staff with offensive coaches and drafted Zach Edey who completely changes everything for the team. Edey is a taller and better Steven Adams
@1kingzeus man.. so many teams would've given a good haul to get that man during his younger days (edit: pretty much any of his days. Smart, powerful big man). I think you don't know what you had. I can feel comfortable saying he played a great role for the team, but jeez was he better than a lot of other centers/enforcers during his time.(final edit: don't feel bad when Edey isn't as impactful as Adams at the end of the day. And yes I'll be watching.)
I think you forgot that before Marcus Smart, they already had Steven Adams as a veteran who tried to keep the team as grounded as possible but unfortunately even having the nicest player in the NBA on the team couldn't keep them from turning into one of the most hated teams.
Appreciate the higher quality content man. Ive been a sub for several years, but dipped due to poor production quality and lack of effort. I can see things are a bit more intentional now, per se, and wish you the best! It may take some time to regain the respect of the community, but you are on the right path! Keep it up!
How’s the grizzlies the same team they were 2 years ago when we never saw Ja, Bane, Smart, and Jackson all take the court together for a significant amount of time? I also left out Brandon Clarke and The rise of GG Jackson If there is any issues with this season, they are in more than enough. Good position to adjust in the off-season.
Well, when a star player has off-the-court stuff that gets them suspended and suffers a season-ending injury, plus his team as a whole suffers injuries while other teams around them are progressing, it's easy to get left behind. I doubt that many people outside of the Grizzlies fanbase was gonna wait for them to get healthy. Now that they are, we'll see if they can get back on track, albeit with a much different than what they had just 2 seasons ago.
Having Atlethic Guard as your Teams 1, rarely ever works to Win a Championship. So after those few good seasons I'm already done with the Ja hype train.
Memphis is coming back with a 2000s team but it looks like it will work. Edey went up against Walker Kessler in the summer league and won that matchup. The size is very hard to stop and partnered with Ja in the pick and roll is a problem for teams with smaller bigs to stop. However this team needs to prove it can stay healthy.
It doesn’t matter how big or dominant you are in the paint when three points is always more than two points. Do you think no teams tried to fight the 3 point tide by playing big? It doesn’t work. The a ha moment was when Houston’s Clint Capela, at the time an elite rim runner and shot blocker got played off the floor in the playoffs by GS. He got salary dumped a month or so later. With the current rules, EVERY pick and roll is a switch, and Edey is going to get cooked on the perimeter.
U forgot about JJ Jackson and the other wing and the Santi Aldama shooting progress, they will be better in all 4 positions except the center we have to wait and see the adaptation of Edey in the NBA
Good luck with Marcus smart, I'm just happy that that trash is no longer on my fav team. He f up more than useful. My team is smooth sailing after he gone
The nba didn’t leave him behind it’s just the injury and the off the court stuff that made the nba take a step back from promoting him which I understand and agree it needed to happen. I’m from Memphis and a grizzlies die heart fan but Ja plays in the smallest market and city in the nba and his star is so massive that the grizzlies have gotten more national attention in the short time he’s been here compared to the 19 years of the team being in Memphis before he was drafted. Ja will take the league by storm next year because he’s a winning player
How are we not seeing that his injuries were exaggerated so they could be bad and get a higher draft pick lol dude played 9 games last year and played GREAT in those 9. He’s a stud, certified and the Grizzlies are contenders. Chill out yall.
@sportinglogically have u ever gotten into the sports card market as a hobby? The way you are able to lay out what a player’s trajectory could look like is very interesting. You definitely pay attention to the things the majority don’t tend to think about. Think it could be something for you
According to the new players the MJ era players they call them as plumbers for having a second job as plumbers... Is it safe to say today that these era is a gangster era for having a player waving his gun...
And that is fine, so stop the hate! Everyone is different...some players make better media careers than bball. Arenas for instance struggled with low IQ, and kept bringing guns in the lockerroom. Career didn't work out but look at him now killing it on YT. Ja will be a great youtuber too someday!
Ja and Tyreek can share a cell. It's the only place those two can safely reach the age of 40. Left to do/go as they please it will not end well for either.
That's what happens when you get yourself suspended, miss half a year, then get injured almost as soon as you get back. Ja has no one else to blame but himself for any problems he's facing. However, he's still a young player, with a lot of runway to land on. He just needs to stop trying to act tough and focus on what he's famous for.
Is being bad a good thing for them? The got a top pick as an already good team and nobody is beating the Celtics for two more years so they lose nothing. I think this had helped them
Grizz fan -- There is a good chance the grizz are a 50+ win team. back in the talk, back in the limelight. but i get there is a chance that... this team isnt the same team we had 2 years ago. Ja appears to be super focused heading into this year. I could see him jumping back int hat 8-10 best player in the league range. Saying we are the same team as 2 years ago... isnt fair. Coaching staff completely reworked outside of jenkins Vince/GG(gg's injury is tough break) have become everything ZW+ whoever could dream of being. JJJ became an offensive force last year. Edey, if he works is a huge move and IS the long term answer, i dont get this angle from you. The biggest hurdles this year. Yes end of game offense outside of ja making something happen. Health and coaching. Jenkins is semi on the hotseat. Their one real chance in the playoffs, against GSW.... ja was injured... but was unstoppable in that series. they are a better team now. They SHOULD be competing... and i think will. people forget how good this team is and how well its built.
Ja was not suspended long enough bc it was NOT his first time. I have no idea why ANYONE thinks he’s matured. The off court “stuff” INCLUDES HIS OWN FAMILY. The only holdover from the GnG Grizzlies is JJ. Build around him, not Ja. And he’s not a complete player. JJ may not be, but only bc Memphis has tried and failed to build a team around JM.
Am I the only one who thinks he’s going to be perfectly fine? As long as he doesn’t let the offcourt stuff effect him then he’s still young enough to change his game to fix any issues that come from this injury
Clickbait title. Generic commentary. Let's see if/how Ja finishes the year. The Grizzlies have found 5 key backups from drafting and two way contracts that have been converted to long term deals. The team improved a lot despite the injury problems.
Grow up, that was over a year ago. He already came back and averaged 25+ for 9 games. He & the Grizz will destroy the league this year. "Remember me?" tour.
Want to know why Memphis can't win close games? Or haven't had much success in the playoffs? Well, just look at the advanced stats on their best player?

Can’t wait to see him put Wemby on a poster
I hate to say it but if Morant doesn't adjust his game a little bit, he's going to be Derek Rose 2.0 as far as injuries are concerned.
The NBA pushes cocky run and dunk players like Ja and Ant, but Ant is more versatile because of his size.
With load management, isn’t it kind of normal not play 70 games?
I think a guy like Isaiah Joe would be beneficial to the Grizzlies tbh
Edey will allow more space for Morant, he's got to save himself for playoffs.
The US saltiness because of the domination of foreign players is getting old.
That intro was unnecessarily cool lol
Am I the only one who thinks he’s going to be perfectly fine? As long as he doesn’t let the offcourt stuff effect him then he’s still young enough to change his game to fix any issues that come from this injury
Yes, you are the only one
I think the grizzlies are gonna scary next season
Clickbait title. Generic commentary. Let's see if/how Ja finishes the year. The Grizzlies have found 5 key backups from drafting and two way contracts that have been converted to long term deals. The team improved a lot despite the injury problems.
I would have taken Ant or Luka over Ja for best guard in the next 5 years...
12 gone be back
Sounds like Ja didn’t want to sign that “contract”
Anthony edwards took his spot
Ja dog walked CANTman in 6 🥱🚬
Grow up, that was over a year ago. He already came back and averaged 25+ for 9 games. He & the Grizz will destroy the league this year. "Remember me?" tour.
Ja Morant is still a top 5 point guard in the league stop it
Temetrious will be fine.
ohh he’s gonna let his game show yall that yall forgot about him
Ya tweaking acting like folks not tough he making the all star game this year
The rest of the league won't have any tape on how to deal with them.
Want to know why Memphis can't win close games? Or haven't had much success in the playoffs? Well, just look at the advanced stats on their best player?
They arr my favorite in the west
