      Timothy A Halley they really just look for size and athleticism nowadays. I think there mentality is that they can make these raw kids develop skills which makes sense but sucks for the kids that aren’t as genetically gifted but work there ass off.

    Now, he’s still with The grizzlies, leading them to the 3rd seed in the conference as of Jan 21st 2022. averaging the same stats as MVP d rose. 25 ppg in his 3rd year. and to think he almost wasn’t found. has some of the most insane clips i’ve seen recently. truly a great player . i hope his career ends well and not in the same direction as rose. all the best to Ja

  • @linkhearts
    @linkhearts 5 лет назад +3639

    even a guy as talented as Ja Morant almost didn’t get a chance at his dream because of lack of willingness to give a “shorter” player the opportunity. It’s really a shame how many players with superstar potential must get overlooked because of that.

If only he would have finished that dunk on K-Love (y'all know the one, don't play like you didn't see it). That dunk would have gone down as one of the most iconic dunks in NBA history.

    I'm shaking my head because I just can't imagine how his father trained him personally instead of getting him into basketball programs which are expensive. This is just one of those stories will tell you that the hindrance of achieving your goals or making them begins inside of your head. I'm touched by his story because I never followed anyone's nba story from nba other than Kobe and this man.

    • @troliskimosko
      @troliskimosko 2 года назад +2

      Curry is a second generation player, he was at least ranked early on thanks to that. Imagine if steph's dad never played nba ball though..we might not have seen a 3 point revolution!

    He comes from a athletic family period ! I got stories that goes down from his great great grandaddy on his mother side of the family in Ga. and not only was they athletic they was dam good people....This is how the Paradox is to suppose to work in our black community when it comes to Family structure. His Mom & Dad did their part as a team but I tip my hat off to his Dad for teaching him physiological warfare on how the world operates and Ja Morant is up for the challenge because u is going to have to cut out his heart cuz he already knows " u can't bring rocks to a fight with a guy with a loaded machine gun "
    Y'all remember me telling the world this !
    HE IS GOING TO BE A GLOBAL MARKETING ICON !
    If he continue to excel on and off the court in which he will, he will be the face of the NBA , its in his DNA

    Ja Morant's dunks are like the experiences of biting into sour things (like 🍋 lemons), followed by a strong desire to squeeze one's eyes and twist one's lips reaction.
    I mean that Ja's dunks are just nasty and enjoyable too!!
