he's just young but needs to figure it out quick. his raw talent is off the charts, but he's wreckless and does show a lack of leadership for sure.
…. JA MORANT HASN'T WON A PLAYOFF GAME YET THIS SERIES….THEIR ONLY WIN WAS WITHOUT JA…..
Ja Morant will never be one of all time greats top 100. He doesn't have the right attitude. It's that simple.
Now they have an internal problem? Culture? Weren't these guys praising these dudes for their attitude because they didn't care about anyone else? Now there's a problem? There's always been a problem! They talk but can't back it up.
I poke bears
Avoiding the media and acting this way makes it worse I dont understand how they don't see that themselves.
first time in a while perk said something I agree with
Feels good to see Memphis get humbled. Ja started it and Brooks carried it. "Im fine in the west" jinxed them big time
Morant is a scorer not a leader….
Perk is the last guy who should be saying this considering how he won't admit he was wrong about the GSW
Ja Morant is going downhill fast. Coward
He said he was Fine in the West.
wow. strong words for the grizzlies.
I don't think Ja's actions put his "face of the league" potential in jeopardy, but he looks weak for that. I'm willing to give him a pass because of his performance in Game 4 and his hand injury. For Brooks to run his mouth, not support it with his performances in Games 3 and 4, and avoid the media afterward both times? He's phony for that.
Grizzlies = bunch of punks.
Jenkins not laying down the law. To me this has to be coaching failure
lol morant had 45 pts 13 ast 9 rebs 1 reb shy of a triple double what is kendrick perkins talking about 😂
Desmond Bane and Steven Adams deserves better smh.
He was never going to be the face of the league
Ja said he was "good in the West"!!!😂😂😂
I just wanted to know was there a time where Kobe, MJ and Lebron and Steph snubbed the Media?🧐
Ja is a loser
Media has been waiting for this team to fall. Big market fans have been happy to see this. Don’t cap. The dude is 23 years old. Chill
What most ppl don’t see here is ja isn’t a leader, doesn’t mean he’s not the best player on the court, he simply just doesn’t have leader qualities
