    The next stop on the journey. Thrilled to share that I’ve accepted a sports anchor/reporter job at WMC Action News 5 in Memphis. I’m pumped to join a legacy station in Tennessee covering all things Grizzlies, Tigers, and much more in the Mid-South.

    Ja Morant says the $500 tip he left a waitress in that now vital video is an “everyday thing” for him when he goes out to eat. “A motto I live by is ‘blessings come when you bless others.’”

    Jaren Jackson Jr. was asked about Dikembe Mutombo's death today. At first, he gave a short answer saying he knew him his whole life. Then, after he was asked a completely different question, he explained Mutumbo was his dad's college roommate, and the impact Dikembe had on him.

    Paul Pierce, Tony Allen's teammate in Boston, was the only player on stage tonight who never played for the Grizzlies. His flight from LA to Memphiswas delayed, he thought it was gonna get cancelled. "I had another flight planned, I would've took a private jet just to be here."

    Ja Morant gave Jeremiah Fears a "Welcome to the NBA" moment right at the end of his debut. But he also took time to talk with him as soon as the game was over. "I just told him to continue to be aggressive...I know he has a lot of talent, I watched his highlights."

    Caitlin Clark has the weight of an entire sport on her shoulders and now is expected to be an activist fighting against what anonymous idiots on the internet that root for her are saying? She's 22 and has been in this league for six weeks. Give her a break man.

    Here's video of Ja Morant doing this *exact same celebration* in four different games over the last month. This is a complete non-story.

    Full quote from Ja here. You can see him thinking if he should say it or not before he just says screw it 🤣🤣

    Ja is asked what he thought of the OKC series. He didn’t like the 2 road games. Then laughs and says.. “I’m scared to answer this because stuff I say goes viral.” Then lets it fly: “I had them figured out.” Says if he didn’t get hurt, it would be 2-2 going to OKC right now.

    Desmond Bane and Santi Aldama each publicly addressed their confrontation in Utah earlier in the week. Both said it's no big deal moving forward. "I probably took it too far. I love Santi. He was at my wedding, I'll be at his wedding." "If that's a wake-up call, then so be it."

    I asked GG Jackson today how he'd sum up the experiences of a disappointing second season. He gave one of the best answers I've ever gotten. Raw, genuine stuff from him on mental health, expectations, and the belief he can still bring something for the Grizzlies. ⬇️

    Zach Wilson was better than he's ever been tonight, but I have no idea what got into him on this drive. This is a legit "best quarterback in the league" type of sequence. Couldn't believe my eyes.

    This is not good. 5-star Memphis recruit Mikey Williams, the top player in the Tigers upcoming freshman class, has reportedly been arrested on five felony gun charges in the San Diego area. His IG account, with millions of followers, has been deactivated.

    As Tony Allen shouted out his former teammates one by one, the crowd gave Rudy Gay an especially loud ovation: "You know looking back you know myself wanted to do a little more with the team...but that's my brother forever, and it's always gonna be. I'm proud of him."

    Multiple Grizzlies players have said Tuomas Iisalo is one of the most direct and frank coaches they’ve ever had. Me thinks there was a disagreement during the game, Ja got mad, and then Iisalo called him out in front of the team afterwards. Hence, Ja’s comments.
