    This is a great video and thank you for posting. I think Mr. Morant (Ja's Dad) is also a great story the way he sacrificed for and helped his Son. He also did a great job of teaching Ja work ethic and humility. I will admit I had some doubt but I now admit I was 100% wrong. Not only does Ja Morant deserve everything he has he deserves everything he will get because he's worked his tail off and nobody can ever deny that. Memphis looks like they have a really nice thing going with Desmond Bane, Brandon Clarke, J. Jackson, etc. Good for that franchise and those loyal fans!

    Grizzlies are playing so well it feels like they could win the championship, they finished the season with 56 wins, a team that can win 55+ games in the regular season should be considered a contender, but even if Memphis doesn’t make it this season, if they do good moves this offseason Memphis could build a dynasty that can last years.

So growing 6 inches from 5’8 to 6’3 is a game changer. He started playing with more confidence and he could do more on the court. Imagine being 5’8 and tryin to play above the rim like he does now…or shoot over somebody being 5’8….so yeah… 6’3 over 5’8 is a big difference you goofy.
