@@allcinionexplainsitall5869 cause zion is showing he is better. Only way he can win is if they take the 8th spot but if not ja should win he dragged his team up.

In your opinion do you think it's possible the NBA is rigged? I'm hearing stuff about magnets being used and the ball being controlled by remote at times. I dunno. It sounds pretty far fetched. I mean anything is possible with today's technology. Look at the casinos for example..but I just don't know
That is what makes it boring... Teams throwing games to make idiots like you believe this garbage is real when in reality, it is scripted entertainment... There is zero chance this Grizzlies team won this game legit especially since last week, they were down by as many as 25..
James Worthy I think they just have different body types... even at UCLA Russ wasn’t as thin as Ja, the kid might just have that Jamal Crawford/Lou Williams type super skinny body. He’ll get stronger for sure but idk if he’ll ever look like Russ. That dudes just a physical specimen
Aw gosh stop it what are u a muscle expert? Kevin durant doesn't have a lot of muscle . Steph curry don't have a lot of muscle geesh this kid will be fine
Anthony Taylor different playstyles. Have you ever seen curry try to dunk on some body. And Durant can because he is 7 feet tall so it doesn’t matter. Ja is the lightest player in the league right now. If he gains 5-10 pounds a lot more of the posters are going down
He’s literally everything you want in a Point guard. Everything. As his game/strength develops he’s only going to get better. They need to build around him, he will be a championship caliber player.
Rondo started the previous game. 😀😀😀 Floor General during that 3rd Quarter explosion = 40-17 Won WITHOUT LEBRON for a 2nd time, including the win over the OKC Thunder. Without Lebron Without Anthony Davis Without Danny Green Playing against OKC Thunder perimeter defender Chris Paul 21 points, 12 rebounds, & 8 assists.
brah hes being guarded by a tall in mcgee and hes still scoring, and then AD comes on the court and he tries to put him on a House of highlights, Highlight dude is balling!
Ja, compared to other top PGs, isn’t that ball-dominant. I think that’s great as his teammates know that they would get their share, rather than just spacing and watching someone ‘dribble dribble dribble shoot’.
his game is already so mature... he takes that iso on the big man and just waits for him to commit, then passes it to the big man... so easy for him any time he wants to do it
I feel like ja is so good because he actually cares about his performance and because he loves the game. He does not just do it for money like some players
I’m gonna be honest here, Ja has the alpha mentality along with the skills, that is rare. Zion has the rare super body and the skills but he doesn’t have the mentality, I’m sorry.
Jordan was too concerned with his own scoring, and the ball was usually in Harper's or Pippens (pioneered the point forward) hands to start breaks and possessions. Ja reminds me of a shorter Penny. Penny would get everyone else involved for 3/4 of the game, then try to ensure/preserve a victory in the 4th. Ja's passing isn't quite what Penny's was, but pretty close, and Ja's drives are better. Ja should try and perfect Penny's back-to-the-basket blind, in-the-air bank shot. I miss that move.
Every one on first take: DID YOU SEE HOW ZION BALLED AGAINST THE LAKERS, HE SCORED THE MOST POINTS ON HIS TEA-never mind, BUT HES GOING TO WIN ROTY What’s going to happen on Monday: Ehhh Ja did good but you know Zion is comin right
The Laker excuses are amazing in the comments. I know all of you seen Ja running that offence. 14 assist that's 28 points on the low end. Plus his 27. Just like if it were LeBron he actually contributed to 55 points of the total score. Dat Dat boy he said he was a point God. This is just his first year🥺🤫😁
NEW EMPIRE NETWORK I haven’t seen any excuses in the comments yet. The Grizzlies had a good game and the Lakers had a mediocre one, I find it annoying when people only wanna comment when their team wins. Not saying you’re doing it, but it’s quite noticeable.
@@Jay-dn2pgThe excuses we're that the Lakers let the Grizzlies win. Their were a nice amount of people in the comments with that thought process. It is over 400 comments now and it was not when I put my comment up. look again, their in there. I like the Lakers, but I've been following Ja since college. Just stating facts about who lead their team to victory. Saying the Lakers weren't really playing takes away from what Ja did. Sooooo my team lost yesterday but give credit where it is due. Now! About those accusations? Wrong Much?
@@newempirenetworks4912 People that say that aren't basketball fans, most likely little kids or bandwagons. I haven't seen a legitimate excuse yet. And again the last part of my comment wasn't aimed at you.
There is a lot of potential in Ja Morant that he'll have a great NBA career when he matures to get older. It's impressive that the Grizzles won against The Lakers
I SWEAR ONE OF THESE GAMES JA'S ACTUALLY GONNA MAKE ONE OF THOSE JAMS AND ITLL BE ONE OF THE NASTIEST POSTERS OF ALL TIME
for real. if only he made that one tonight.
Soothing Sceptile even if he made it it wouldn’t have counted but it would’ve been ruined
@@ybkjayy it should've counted and dam that would have looked bad on AD
He all ready destroyed Kevin love soo its only a matter of time
And grizzlies will oust the number 1 seed lakers
Ja Morant has no respect for his elders 😂😂
0 respect 😤 boy wana catch body
He's this generation Allen Iverson. He's here to dominate at basketball. Not to make friends. Long as he's not playing dirty. It's all good.
exactly like Zion who is 0-2 against the lakers
@@antonyog37 I like how you said "zion" as if he's the only one on the pelicans
@@antonyog37 but he dropped 35 though sooo
All ima say is .. those dunks will eventually start going in. A lot of big men are going to be posters in the future
Ted Grover still plenty of time. I have a feeling he’s gonna catch *a lot* of bodies!
he almost got K Love now AD, who is the next !
@@lowbob0000 both took charges.....
@@noitsnot239 yeah the iq of davis is the real impressive tho
@@lowbob0000 Tacko Fall lol but I am sure he'll get a guy with poor defensive insight like slowmo Jokic (the tomato big that cannot block)
I like how he celebrates good passes. That’s a great sign for a PG

😂
Yoo 🤣🤣🤣
Lol
😭😵
🤣🤣🤣
*Lebron like “I gotta get this guy on the Lakers”*
Yep...that's exactly what he's thinking.
He's already been seen having one of THOSE talks with ja
@@nopracticepodcast4521
they traded jerseys
He finna trade Almost his whole bench for Ja at least they’ll have a good point guard
Y'all stupid
This young Blood is the definition of PG, he makes everyone touch the ball.

@@noitsnot239 2 years later, would you still take Chris Paul over Ja Morant? Hm? 👀👀👀
Like: Zion Williamson
Comment: Ja Morant
Goku Son L for like fishing
Both
zion is better
Kendall Long k
Morant is my pick!! Wait till he starts getting stronger
MORANT 😱😱😱😱
IS THIS KID AMAZING OR WHAT
Ja is the true ROTY, if Zion wins somehow then the NBA is sus
If the Pelicans get that 8th seed I feel like Zion should win ROTY
the whole purpose of the award is to identify and highlight the best rookie in nba at the time. even if morant wins it he aint the best rookie imo. he only wins due to zions injury. that means this year the award is irrelevent. he better not brag and boast about this award in his speech.
@@johnnyboi331
They're both good rookie
John Flanagan what are u talking about?
@@johnnyboi331 facts, people jsut saying Ja because he has played longer. It is pretty obvious zion is better than ja
And they say Zion go catch him for rookie of the yea . Yea Zion is nice but this man Ja been nice all season ROTY

Yes dude cut from a different cloth.. If he don't get injure and I hope he don't, drose would be proud father for birthing this man
LeeTravius Mckay Jordan & Kobe like !!!
that boy different
YaadManGaming GVO 🔥🔥🔥✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
In what way do you mean he's different?
Doggystyleee song we different
This guy gonna be a superstar if he keeps playing like this wish he would've made that dunk that would be crazy
Already is a superstar
I understand his game is but not everyone heard from him yet but they will soon
r j .. in due time he gonna poster up and make that shot .. watch
right now we're witnessing him practicing it to perfection
I know he will
He reached his ceiling
Ja makes it look so effortlessly.
He's like a cross between Westbrook and Iverson.
Na hes like a mix of chris paul and westbrook. Hes ability as a PG and how he plays the PR is special.
I see a lot of D rose in him too
*There will never be another Iverson.*
The best of both worlds literally........
@@Amaryahu there wont be another undersized scoring guard..... sure man. U tell yourself that
He is forreal. And, he brings everybody up with him. If he stays, Memphis is on the rise. Book it!
he gonna stay max contract coming soon
memphis his team
u was right bro
He really is dragging the double team away and hitting the open man in his rookie year. This kid is gonna be special
he already special
He reminds me a lot like prime D Rose except the amazing passing abilities he posses. Wish him the healthy career 🐐🐐🙏🙏🙏
Cant hold a candle to DROSE please
You know that Ja has been hearing all the talks about Zion taking ROTY from him.
I think so...
Lol that's not happening
rayleigh8 Zion a better player but hasn’t played enough games to get ROTY
@Joshua V exactly lol, hopefully he build on his skills like other players
Joshua V Zion is too dominant in the paint and no one can stop him
God was on AD side. Geesh! Imagine if he would have made it. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 best believe
Michael Jordan had nothing to do with that. it was a missed call.
The fact that he tried is enough for me. Lol
He wasn't no way near dunking that ball all theatrics
True2It I'm sure the guy on the sun's thought the same thing
He like a d rose when he was with bulls having a MVP year
Naw more like d rose rookie year
Exactly, same skill set
He can shoot 3s tho
Exactly he gone end up like d rose
Jason Williams better shooter n passer
I love this NBA season! upsets everywhere! young teams! veteran teams! ITS COULD BE ANYONES GAME AND I LOVE IT!

Wait until he puts on a lil muscle like Russ it’s over
Nah it's good for him for agility

Simon Sez yea he doesn’t need to be like russ. He just gotta gain 5-10 pounds from now to his prime.
Ja Morant is the best I've ever seen at almost putting someone on a poster.
Hope he'll eventually do it . And when he does it'll be terrific 💣
He’s literally everything you want in a Point guard. Everything. As his game/strength develops he’s only going to get better. They need to build around him, he will be a championship caliber player.
Rondo’s face in the thumbnail 😂
Rondo started the previous game. 😀😀😀 Floor General during that 3rd Quarter explosion = 40-17
Won WITHOUT LEBRON for a 2nd time, including the win over the OKC Thunder.
Without Lebron
Without Anthony Davis
Without Danny Green
Playing against OKC Thunder perimeter defender Chris Paul
21 points, 12 rebounds, & 8 assists.
LMFAO
Ja Working the paint and splashing floaters is beautiful. The combination of finesse and power makes me all in on this dude
3:00-3:44 Lakers get all the calls. Been that way all year.
False
ericimi no, facts
The NBA always trying to help out Lebron. Nothing new here
Long Live King Ja... kid is on fire
this young blood is the real deal!
Ja's vision and iq are elite already... This kid is gonna be something super special...
brah hes being guarded by a tall in mcgee and hes still scoring, and then AD comes on the court and he tries to put him on a House of highlights, Highlight dude is balling!
Ja is not only fearless, he's also a lot of fun to watch!
Ja is goated he would be all star next season watch out
Lets not forget this is a possible first round matchup in the playoffs
This rookie is amazing...he tried to posterize AD...lol
His head didnt even reach the rim though no way he was gonna finish that
Love this rookie and his play style. Bring back the old school vibe. Cannot believe this is his first year.
Westbrook and kyrie mixed together =Ja Morant
With a hint of drose with the hang time and layups..
I say he is a more passive version of Iverson with more athletic ability. I watched him and Zion grow up. Carolina Boi's
Isaac Mendez THATS JORDAN OR KOBE ...
He's doing great plays. Beautiful game.
imagine if he was like 5 cm taller. the dunks he would hit tho
True
5 cm makes no difference
Height was not the problem. He probably just "missed", or was not strong enough.
@@realisreal7736 yeah if he had an extra 5cm with the same hops could've made that dunk on kevin love and the one on AD
@@jeremy-pj1zx height doesn't effect it like that its wingspan
He has insane IQ combined with Insane Athleticism also a good shooter all this in his rookie year. Behold NBA
Ja, compared to other top PGs, isn’t that ball-dominant. I think that’s great as his teammates know that they would get their share, rather than just spacing and watching someone ‘dribble dribble dribble shoot’.
Underrated.
Since ESPN making the ROTY award about Rookies team performance not individuals effort even then Ja still wins😂
his game is already so mature... he takes that iso on the big man and just waits for him to commit, then passes it to the big man... so easy for him any time he wants to do it
Rondo's face on the thumbnail.😂
His journey is insane hard pays off
The kid called himself a point god before the season started, before he was drafted. And wow. He wasted no time proving it.
I feel like ja is so good because he actually cares about his performance and because he loves the game. He does not just do it for money like some players
I honestly feel bad for Ja if he doesnt win ROTY. He is so nice with it but Zion is something else...
PalliVaate 😂😂🤣😂 on god he eating eight cows a day with out even cooking them
cj the goat lmao u not even cappin
Rondo face: mmm these new guys crazy
Ad: please don’t dunk on me
King James must be pissed off of these new rookies
This kid’s handles are the TRUTH
I’m gonna be honest here, Ja has the alpha mentality along with the skills, that is rare. Zion has the rare super body and the skills but he doesn’t have the mentality, I’m sorry.
💯%
So Ja IS CLOSE to reaching his potential and Zion ISN'T close to reaching his potential
True2It nope that’s not it. Ja has what MJ HAD as a rookie, alpha mentality, Zion is lacking that
@@rayleigh8 why you think Zion dont? Over be talking about alpha mentality when you play with mediocre guys.
This dude is one cold player ❗
He going to get one he will catch somebody lacking one day
I think we'll get to see that often
both love and AD were lacking.....neither contested

@Sherman Person are you talking about free agency
🤣🤣

refreshingly old school style
Next year he gone be yamming on dudes
You say that like he's gonna have a growth spurt or something
A great player makes his teammates better. Ja is the truth
*Ja Morant just exposed Lakers ain't championship team yet.. LeGM needs more pieces lmao*
You deducted this from one game? The accuracy of your statement is pretty reactionary
This kid is GOOD!
Zion is playing on a much better team than Ja but still look at what Ja is doing and his on track to play 70+ games 😩
Many people don’t get the multi-facets of MJ’s game and one of those facets was his improvisation ability, I think Ja has some of that
Jordan was too concerned with his own scoring, and the ball was usually in Harper's or Pippens (pioneered the point forward) hands to start breaks and possessions. Ja reminds me of a shorter Penny.

Lakers with a "healthy" LBG & AD not being able to overcome Morant 🙊
KOBE BEST LAKER EVER IN HISTORY .... MAGIC WORDS .... I AGREE 1000%
LBG-LeBron Games?
Im not a grizzlies fan but this team is so fun to watch, easily best young core in the league
When Lakers win: Lebron desteoyed!
When lakers lose: AD gets destroyed!
Wrong spelling of destroyed. Didn't you go to school!?
Morant is fearless.
Ja is a skinny Russ, imagine when he puts on some more muscle that will be scaaary
Edit: He has a jumpshot too
And he can get up higher than russ and is more efficient
