I’ve been in Memphis my whole life. I’ve walked the streets since I was 5 years old. I’ve been robbed at gun point. Knife etc. I will always love this place and never want to leave. But God I wish this shit would stop.
Just had to rush my wife to the ER. Struggling to breathe and tightness in her chest. Please pray for her y’all. I can’t be there with her right now and it’s killing me.
It’s crazy when I saw Ja we were stopped at a light for about 10 min bc of a wreck at farm road. I didn’t bother em, just said we love you Ja. Everyone in the comments said, “he needs to carry a gun, he can’t go around being seen like that. He might be followed…

You can survive with that salary, but you live an extremely uncomfortable life (especially with kids). It def sucked and I believe he deserved so much more.
The Grizzlies still have:
JJJ
Bane
Smart
Luke
Vince
Aldama
Ziaire
GG
BC (hopefully returns this season)
That's 2 All Stars and 7 solid rotation players. Keep grinding.

Memphis is not known for basketball? We're literally referred to as HOOP CITY. We have the number one recruiting class in the country at the University of Memphis. And have three bright stars in Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Brandon Clarke on the Grizzlies.

My dad retired with this salary last yr. He made the same amount for 30 yrs. Had 4 degrees. Worked as a research equipment tech for a local uni. He is also a vet. Things we did without.
- One room apartment with 5 kids
- No toilet paper
- No phone
- Eat the same thing every day
Folks on here hating on JJJ? He's 24 years old and already has 1 DPOY under his belt. Dude is a fucking beast for his age and will only get better. Yall trippin.
Desmond Bane said the team has Ja Morant's back.
"He's gotta know that it's not all on him. He's got all of us to lean on. Players, coaches the whole organization has got his back. And I hope the whole city of Memphis does too."
Tennessee holding it down:
Elvis
Tina Turner

We’ll take the Pepsi challenge against anybody. If I included the whole state, I could throw in

#Memphis
for 18 years. We've made the playoffs 11 of the 18 years. Took an OKC team with three MVPS (Harden, Durant, and Westbrook) to 7 games. Had a 2-1 lead over the GS Warriors with a broken face Mike Conley and hurt Tony Allen.
The Ja Morant thing with Grizzlies fans telling him they are better if he sits out is so weird.
You're a small market and have a young, burgeoning superstar. One who seems happy to be in that city. Definitely makes sense to treat him like crap and make him question being there.
I see a lot of folks shaming the under 40 crowd for getting vaccinated bc they were given an opportunity to do so. If there is a vaccine available, don't turn it down periodt.

Aaron Gordon has played in 49 games this year. He has 39 blocks and 40 steals. Jaren has played in 37 games and has 123 blocks and 37 steals. Thanks for pointing out how many games he missed. Preciate that.
God really is amazing. David's lung cancer has subsided by 70%. The 8 tumors in his brain is now down to one small tumor. Just truly amazing. Gonna keep praying for him, but I think he can stop chemo in August.
My brother David loves his family. He loves his kids. He means everything to us. He learned today he has stage 4 cancer in his brain. Stage 3 in his lungs and it has spread throughout his body. He needs your love, prayers, and positivity more than ever. God please heal him.
Bane: Games Played - 202 | Wins - 127
LaMelo: Games Played - 162 | Wins - 75
Haliburton: Games Played - 191 | Wins - 79
Ant: Games Played - 223 | Wins - 102
I don’t live life scared. I’m not a gun owner. I don’t like weapons. I’m more sad that so many young folks grow up in poverty and think the only answer is violence.

I want to commend the
@tacobell
staff on Germantown Pkwy near Trinity. A young autistic man came in and had trouble ordering. They were so patient and sweet to him. Also, he sat down next to me and we talked about Memphis basketball. Really warmed my heart.
Klay calling JJJ a bum minutes after winning the ship 😂. Mane knows damn well the Grizz with healthy Ja owns them. Ask Klay how many he wins without Steph.
Been sitting here holding my brother for the last few hours. On top of battling stage 4 cancer which he’s kicking it’s ass, he had 15 teeth pulled today and three wisdom teeth. Can’t even imagine the pain he’s in. He needs all the prayers and healing he can get.

Just completely exhausting begging people to get vaccinated. It will save your life. It's mentally draining to wake up to this stupidity every single day. So many people I know (including family members) that are either misinformed or just stupid and selfish. So sick of it.
I honestly believe. For a moment in time. ZBo was the best player in the world. That Spurs series man… it’s like he put everything he ever learned on the court. Just the most beautiful display of basketball I’ve ever seen.
Presley I’m going to miss all of the little things that made you so special. You were my first pet and absolutely the best cat I could have asked for. I’m sorry I couldn’t save you buddy. I’ll miss you forever and I’ll never forget you.
She was just released! Thank you everyone for your prayers! All of her tests came back normal, but she has a very high white blood cell count. She had to take a Covid test but they said if you have it your white blood cell count would be low. They believe it was anxiety/panic..
Just had to rush my wife to the ER. Struggling to breathe and tightness in her chest. Please pray for her y’all. I can’t be there with her right now and it’s killing me.
