GG Jackson on his rookie year:
"When I think of the goodness of Jesus and all that he's done for me, my soul just cries out."
The rookie tried to take us to church!

“It was a moment that you only dream about honestly.” -
@1Tyus
Hilarious moment between Desmond Bane and Ja Morant on the play drawn up for the end of the game to beat the Pelicans.
Ja asked if they should run a play for Jaren Jackson Jr.
"(Des) told me f*** no!"
#Grizzlies
From last night on Ja Morant
- coming off the bench was his idea
- he gave Tyus Jones his flowers 💐
“The advantage we have is we really have two starting point guards on this team. So it doesn’t matter who’s starting and who’s not. We can go out there and do the same thing.”
BIG news for me. I’m proud to announce that I’ll be the next weekend sports anchor/MMJ for

Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins confirms that Ja Morant is fully healthy and cleared for basketball activities during the Grizz summer league game.
"He's been phenomenal with his rehab, now it's full go basketball with him."
@CWilliamson44
I don’t think you’re wrong in that there’s an obvious difference. What I will say, when watching these clips, is that a lot of times Angel’s is demonstrative towards opponents. Hailey and Caitlin hide it by pointing it towards their bench/teammates sometimes
Five years ago, Max McGee was working as a server at The Capital Grille and Famous Dave's after leaving college.
After 250 applications, he landed his first TV job.
In October, he got an ESPN audition through LinkedIn.
McGee just finished his first week with SportsCenter.

So a cool moment that might not seem like a big deal but it lowkey was. I met my therapist in person today!
Alicia has been my therapist for almost a year now but this is our first in person meeting after vaccinations.
I had to give her a big hug. She’s helped me so much 🥺😁

game and return to Memphis. He stopped Larry Sanders 1-on-1.
"I always love defending the perimeter so once I got the stop, y'all knew what was coming" ☝️🏾
Got a big story coming up this week. We like to forget that athletes are people too and have real issues. They face problems and lose people and hurt just like us.
When you’re the journalist in the family you get present requests like interviewing your baby brother.
