Ja Morant sat down for 25 games

Brandon King

When the Memphis Grizzlies tip off the 2023-24 NBA season they will do so without Ja Morant as the NBA announced Friday morning it handed down a 25 game suspension to the star guard due to his penchant for fliahing guns on social media. Ealier in the season, Morant received an unplanned 8-game vacation when brandished a weapon on an Instagram live video. That seemingly did not get Morant’s attention as barely two months later, Morant was captured in another social media video displayiing a weapon. However Morant will not…

Ja Morant is trying to burn his life to the ground

Brandon King

There is no lipstick on this proverbial pig-Ja Morant is a dumbass and is a living example of those who do not learn from history and are doomed to repeat it. Barely 60 days after his last screw-up in which he brandished a firearm on an Ished firearm on an Instagram live video, a recent video has surfaced of this ignoramus once again flashing a weapon. The video was not shot in a serupticious manner to catch Morant engaging in nefarious or questionable activity, quite the contrary, Morant willingly starred…

The Memphis Grizzlies: A case study of needing to STFU

Brandon King

There are times where you have to be careful of what you ask for, this was a sobering lesson for the Memphis Grizzlies, most notably for Dillion Brooks and Ja Morant. Prior to the start of the playoffs, Dillion Brooks, in the latest instance of a Grizzlies player recklessly shooting his mouth off, said that he wouldn’t mind facing the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round. If that were not enough bulletin board material, he added more fuel to the proverbial fire when he said that LeBron was old…

Ja Morant to be away from Grizzlies indefinitely

Brandon King

Ja Morant has been the talk of the NBA world and unfortunately, it has nothing to do with his high level of play or his jaw-dropping forays to the basket but rather his questionable and concerning activities off the hardwood. Amidst reports surfacing of him laying the smackdown on a high school basketballer and a scuffle with security personnel at a shopping mall, in a move that can only be described as daft, the Grizzlies star guard brandished a pistol on a recent Instagram live. Saturday the Memphis Grzzlies announced…

Someone needs to talk to Ja Morant

Brandon King

Ja Morant is a supremely talented basketball whose on-court exploits have helped transform the Memphis Grizzlies into potential contenders in the Western Conference.  Yet with the same determination he shows in getting to the rim for one of his spectacular dunks, he is showing an unfortunate penchant for wanting to throw it all away.  Earlier this season, following a contentious confrontation with members of the Indiana Pacers traveling party, a slow-moving SUV that contained Morant trained a red laser on the party.  This was chased by reports of the Grizzlies…

Shannon Sharpe has all the smoke for the Grizzlies but not Skip Bayless

Brandon King

Friday night professional LeBron James apologist Shannon Sharpe got into a miniature dust-up with several Memphis Grizzlies players as well as Tee Morant, the father of star guard Ja Morant.  The incident took place in the second quarter of Friday night’s game between the Grizzlies and it the Lakers. Sharpe yelled to guard Dillon Brooks that he was too small to guard his man-crush Lebron. The two exchanged expletives after which Sharpe allegedly said to Brooks “ You don’t want these problems” More roofing ensued and security had to step…

Making a Difference: Ja Morant gives jersey and sneakers to fan

Brandon King

Although he occasionally shoots his mouth off, Ja Morant is certainly a man of the people. When a young Grizzlies fan had an autographed basketball stolen from her by some rapscallion, the star guard stepped in to fill that void and gave her his game-worn jersey and sneakers. Much respect to Ja Morant for this.
