[Holmes] Ja Morant joined his teammates at a morning shootaround in Houston, but he couldn’t be at the arena. Keeping a close eye on Morant was Kevin Helms, the Grizzlies’ head of team security, whose duties this season focus almost solely on shadowing Morant, team sources said.



> During his own testimony, Morant said he pays his father, who lives on the same street, to serve as his chef and barber.

> Also looking on, and set to testify the following day, was Morant’s childhood friend Davonte Pack, who has been closely linked with Morant’s public missteps. During his testimony, Morant said Pack lives with him and is paid to be his assistant.

    Imagine having to baby sit a grown man.

    “Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?” -Kevin Helms to Ja Morant

    Adam Silver just had a heart attack

    If you think basketball players are cool, just remember the best of them need actual grown men to baby sit them and three-week “therapy” to not chokeslam other players.

    Over/under on the total meals and haircuts Tee Morant has gave Ja in the last calendar year is 2.5

    What you got?

  6. I’m no expert, but I’m going to assume it’s difficult for your teammates to see you as a leader when you have a team-appointed babysitter.

  7. SweatySmeargle

    The one Memphis fan in here with 70% of the comments is so mad Ja needs a babysitter lmao

  8. iiiiiiiiii8

    Why are they acting like he’s constantly packing?

  9. Cudi_buddy

    Sounds like one major thing the team needs to do is try and get Ja to distance himself from this Pack fellow. Obviously they can’t control who he is friends with, and Ja is an adult that needs to make his own conclusions. But he seems like a really bad influence, and not the guy you want around when you find yourself rich and famous quick

    The nobel winning seriousness of covering a punch in a pick up game from these espn crusaders, stirring up drama to justify their degrees. Just watch the sports and tell us what happened and stop trying to work in the word microcosm.

    Bros entire year is gonna be shadowing Morant like his name was Fidel Castro

    Security anytime ja reaches in his pocket: Code 12! We have a code 12!

  13. fianchetteaux

    Lmao multimillionaire athlete needs a fucking babysitter.

  14. Used_Pomegranate_334

    Imagine your job is to tell someone to not do stupid shit 😂 I bet he has amazing stories though

  15. misterbluesky8

    He went to a SHOOTAROUND?!? Shouldn’t he- oh wait

  16. MyLadySansa

    This is sad. I really hope Ja turns things around. He definitely seems more humble in his latest interviews.

  17. Onlyheretostare

    The guys a father and literally needs a chaperone everywhere he goes.. The bar is set so low in the NBA

  18. noknownothing

    Pack lives with him? So much for behavioral reforms.

  19. They could’ve easily said “practice” or “warm ups” instead of “shootaround”.
