Emotions are high right now among teams and fans over the play in question but this right here? @joeysulipeck - unacceptable. Memo to @FOX13Memphis - talk to your mans and check him. This is over the line and I won’t stand for it. This is bullsh-t.

Desmond Bane had no problem getting vaccinated against Covid-19 since he grew up getting vaccines for other viruses. “Whatever happens down the road, I’ll be fine knowing that I was one of those people that was at least trying to save the other people”

Ja Morant: "My dawg needs his respect on this defensive team for sure. It’s unacceptable that he’s not getting the recognition that some of these guys are getting. Pull up his stats and see his defense on these top players.” Morant campaigning one more time for Dillon Brooks.

Another reason why all teams need to consider removing all Native American mascots. Because kids think they're clever with this crap.

Via the NBA: Ja Morant has generated the most views on the league’s social media platforms this postseason so far. That’s a wide gap between 1 and 2, folks. Ja’s box office status is still booming, especially from that vicious Game 5 dunk

Steven Adams chose No. 4 because “all the cool numbers were gone” and Ja already has 12 But seriously, he got 4 in honor of former OKC Thunder teammate Nick Collison.
