#ESPN #NBA #memphisgrizzlies
GG Jackson is the best player from the 2024 draft, and they got him in 2023. And got the right player for what they need in Edey, to rebound, set screens, and finish lobs.
He can also score..the old school way. He was a double double machine his last 2 years at Purdue. His scoring isn't pretty like KD or even Embiid but his hook shot and presence around the basket will make the grizzlies a tough out for any team
Nah, y’all wrote us off. Stay ova there on that side.
LOL…RIGHT THEY DID!!
People talking about Ant like they forgot about Ja
What, that one plays defense and the other one is a twig
@@AlexWin22 Memphis was dope with ja without him garbage
@@Marcgpop562 the same goes for Ant and the Twolves
@@AlexWin22 true but last year didn't ja send them packing
@@Marcgpop562 3 years ago
as a grizzlies fan i’m happy for this
Ja gonna win mvp . Y’all got one of them ones over there
@@Maxjuliann nc. also i think zach edey will be good
@@oilrig307 zach edey is a monster , can you name me one center in the nba that can stop his post up? Bro is 7'4 and the heaviest nba player . Maybe jokic , embidd but those normal centers even forwards are gonna get BODIED . Think of someone like Claxton or Chet on a post up with Edey lol , gg. People saying 9 was too high , I thought he should've been drafted last year 😂😂 He is really gonna help memphis
I hate to be that guy, I'm just hoping Ja stops fronting and stays away from the negative spotlight. Keep that glizzy away from Instagram Ja.
@@soulfulmaple i really hope so, i think victor could maybe stop him although the may weight to little
I just want Ja to play. Hopefully he's healthy and no drama comes his way. He's probably the most entertaining player
I want to see Ja vs Ant in the playoffs
Round 2 ja gone win again @@MrE_
Hes not probably, he is definitely
@@AKWuzHerehell nah. Ant got way better since then and so has his team. If they face off again it’s gonna be a different story
@@prince-bm4xt grizz got better as well n ja was looking other worldly when he did play
With big Mape Dogg (Zach Edey) in the paint Memphis is an easy 60+ win team
This ☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿
I’m so surprised that she didn’t say ja morant who was suspended for holding a gun. She usually really likes reminding ppl it anybody did anything wrong in there life. Good job
She like Ant and never mentions him forcing an abortion
She Ioves reminding black ppl of their wrongdoings , sometimes only alleged too 😂
Cry about it.
@@r.m.90 ooo nice burn
@@Granddadjames thanks. You wanna get off your knees now?
"Memphis need Ja like old people need soft shoes" 😂
I honestly wish Kd went to Memphis 🥱
Don't want him don't need him.
@@neanamFacts! Too old.
@@jhariz7387 too old yet he's been the best player on his team every single year even now
@@MrE_ KD is nice and still one of the best in the nba. But I don't want him, Memphis has built something special let's win without a major FA & Every since KD pulled that move on OKC and left for the warriors he showed what type of ni99a he was...
Same here should have went there. Memphis had the draft picks and was willing to trade everyone besides Ja, JJJ and Bane.
Memphis Grizzlies are a scary squad who can ALL the way when healthy especially with the addition of Edey 〽️〽️〽️〽️〽️
Ja will remind the league why he was ranked above Anthony Edwards and Shai Gilgeous
How soon people forget.
Ja is a top 5 point guard in the league haters trying to right him off
SGA, Luka, Jalen, Tyrese, and Steph
You mean write him off?
@@AlexWin22stop it😂
@@AlexWin22 I give you curry, luka, & SGA. But Ja > Haliburton & Jalen
@@peace_of_mind_00 Maxey Irving and Ja definitely ain't better than Brunson.
i’m a grizzlies fan and I hope no injuries come our way juts maybe come out with a champ and prove all the haters wrong like we have jjj ja des marcus and zach edey also gg jackson bc 15 and other key guys that will be apart of our success 🎉
First time I think I done agreed with Malika 😂 GoGrizz
Ja Going to take the league by storm 🔥
You
They definitely have a squad
Ja is coming 😤😤
Zach eddy all star
THANK YOU ZACH ! Some real recognition
As a Memphian/grizzlies fan this isn’t surprising.
WCF us.
We are also talking like no injuries are going to happen to any of the top teams, like you can’t predict injuries but they are bound to happen. The top teams last year were most of the teams with the least injuries. The Grizzlies have a much improved roster from 2 years ago with their stars getting better as well. Excited for this season
Facts as long as no injuries they coming for real
Zach Lowe is a senior writer at ESPN, and he's widely regarded for his detailed and thoughtful analysis of NBA games, players, and strategies.
If we healthy we the #1 seed
😂😂😂😂
@greenbay3164 we have the same team that went up against the golden state warriors that won the title that year but where still younger
Grizzlies say we can show you better than we can tell you😊🎉🎉
Grizzlies coming!!! I’m so excited! Ja on a mention! Marcus Smart coming. Especially after Boston won. Just gotta stay healthy
Yeaaaaa lets go Memphis
YES A MEMPHIS TOPIC. The last one was like 2 years ago if we’re talking strictly basketball 😂😂.
You know if Ja Morant can stay healthy and stay out of trouble he can be an elite player because he and the Grizzles were fun to watch before he did stupid things.
I hope he dropped those losers he was hanging out with just leeching off him.
@@latrellsprewell653 Same here Morant needs to get his act together otherwise is career won't last long.
Geeze Ramona, shots fired!
People quickly forget Ja a top 5 PG at his best
SGA, Luka, Steph, Jalen, Maxey
@@AlexWin22 uhhh kyrie
@@Maxjuliann Dallas has 2 pgs lol
Curry is still top 5 PG and the Warriors will stink this season.
@@Paulafan5 yes
One thing for sure Ja is going to average 3 "Top 10 plays of the day" PER GAME
I agree the Grizzles are coming but hard for me to put them over OKC DAL DEN MIN. But I would put them 5th over GS NOL SAC PHX. West is stacked
Pelicans are better if healthy, but they never are for a full season.
Nice to see some respect for a change.
If there top player can stop getting injured than they could easily be in top 5 in NBA😮
Let's goooo Memphis grizzly!!
The media hates Ja but only real sports fan know Memphis is a top 3
Who the other 2 teams?
@@AlexWin22 Denver, Phoenix
@@AmandaMack-ok1uvyea if it was 2021
Your top 50 athlete list is one of the many reasons why this country is so hated around the world
People must not understand that shoulders never truly heal. Labrum's never get back to full strength.
Yall better not switch up now
2 years ago they had a good record when Ja was out. I wouldn’t say they were “healthy”
We were a lot more healthy as a team that year and had Tyus as our backup PG
Revenge tour 🐻〽️
#901HOOPS IS BACK FULL STRENGTH
I tell all my clients never mention MJ name in a bad manner unless you’ll get morant
If Ja 'Pap Doc' Morant can stay on the floor
I just hop we give pippen jr some time
🎉🎉 Yeah look like Nike and ESPN missed the Ja🎉
This aged well
Why are people so confident that Ja will be the same player?
What if strip clubs were his superpower and pulls a Tiger Woods. Tiger was never the same after he stopped all the sleeping around (half joking / half serious).
😂😂 good one but you seen his return.
he hasnt done anything in the past year and that is crazy improvement considering the fact it would be easier to go to strip clubs and be in gun related activities when you're not playing basketball, ja has gained 14 pounds over the off season as he now weighs in at 192 pounds, he is really taking this comeback season seriously and dont be surprised if u see memphis playing in the finals next june
So basically, next season Memphis is fine in the West?
Until Morant screws up or is hurt again...
up the Ⓜ️
Better know it!
Greetings know me from malaysia present support friend👍🙏🙏
Derrick rose ??? Is he not retired ??
His body has but his brain hasn’t registered it yet.
Does not matter which sported is the great teams that are they healthiest usually win the Championships?
They probably won't be historically injured though. They broke league records for how bad it was. SOME health makes a big difference
The warriors had the same situation a few years back
so we can win a championship just like they did 🙂↕️
Not really our guys are all about to hit their prime. Ja,Jaren,Des
This would’ve been similar if the Warriors had this happen the season right before they won the title.
@@1kingzeus I don’t think you understand what I meant. The year before the warriors won they had injuries, which allowed them to get a lottery pick and then they won when everyone came back healthy.
Also I’m not necessarily saying Memphis is going to win this year.
Malika said this situation is unprecedented but she’s wrong
Steph Curry MVP ion care what the Warriors do in the playoffs but he gone make sure they show ehat they do for sure without Klay i can definitely see MVP Curry he did win 2 while he had the second best shooter in the league
Yea I’ve been saying this for a while. I got Memphis vs philly in the finals next season
Not the Sixers but the grizzlies yes
Yeah.... were coming alright. GO GRIZZLIES
They are a bottom 4 team in the west
My Grizzlies will PREVAIL🐻🩵💙💛
How much do you think Zach Lowe makes? cos that TV behind him is at least 15 years old. Zach man, if you're reading this...
I’m trying to tell y’all. Stay sleep if you want to.
Good job girl .. idk what my other girl was doing
This lady thinks her job as a host, she should talk too much and interrupt others. 😂
PG-Ja Morant
SG- Desmond Bane
SF-Ziaire Williams
PF-Jared Jackson Jr
C-Zach Edey
The smart disrespect is insane
😂😂 def starting GG over Zaire … that’s insane but respect
Ziaire is getting traded
@@1kingzeus Ong 😂😂 unless he show his potential all the time instead of in 1 or 2 game sprees
Ja is coming back guns blazing 😂
M town mane
If only she knew that we don't really care nor do we want to know about her opinions.
I disagree
Go Grizz! Last year was a fluke.
Memphis is the 12th Seed.
Your not fine the West Ja!
Are you blind? Their players are injured. Lets get you to bed grandpa
What you wanna bet
When he made this statement you did notice moved made in the West 2 years ago right?
The Lakers went and got several Twolves to play on their roster, KD went to the Suns.
Grizzlies ain’t going to do anything.
🧢
Although i hate to admit it.... The Mavs are taking the west. Picking up Klay was cool but getting Naji Marshall from the pelicans was a great basketball decision. Hes really a starter on most teams and hes a two way player who can initiate the offense and shifty in transition. Hes a shorter Pippen. Marshall is a dog, people will get to see now playing in a bigger market.
Memphis isn't doing anything
C you soon Memphis TN
I wouldn't write them as a top 4 team no I would rate them at least top 8
🤷6 seed but back in the PlayOffs for sure 🙌🏆
This is why I dont take Zach Lowe seriously 😂 they’re not top 10
There are only 15 teams: Blazers, Jazz will not be good. Spurs, we'll see.
It just means they have to be better than 2 of the remaining 12 teams.
They might be a top 10 team, elite defense and ya all forgeting how good they were when Ja was playing. 2nd seed back to back from 2022 to 2023. They also got Smart who's an upgrade over Brooks.
@@HKim0072 he didn't say they'll be a top 10 team in the west, top 10 team in the entire league.
You have lost your mind. You will be the same person crying about how they cheated and got Zach at the end of the season.
If Ja wasnt a thug then Memphis would have a shot
Man idk about all this. Ja is good and jjj is a great defender and bane is solid..... but they aint no top 4 team in the nba. They might barley be a top 10 team in the nba. Did lowe already forget how stacked they west was last year?
They do have Smart
You do realize 2 seasons ago they were number 2 in the west right? Your take is terrible.
And what did they do with that #2Your take is terrible
@@Jeremy6232 they did exactly what this video is talking about. Being a top 4 team in the west. They were literally top 2 with the same roster while healthy. You’re literally clueless.
@@nickthompson6535 I believe you're the one who clueless as what did they do with that second place finish. Did they go to the finals.
Ja should move to a new team
Lowe is a smog, terrible analyst.
😂😂😂😂🤡
Hahahaha no they aren’t. Ja will he either in trouble or injured. He’s a wannabe thug period
Y’all act like he actually shot someone 🤡🤡😂😂
Hey grandpa it’s 2024. The past is over
