This career-high performance from Ja Morant cements him as the single player in the NBA who is even in the conversation to win ROTY of the Year. And that’s not even a hot take. Actually, that take I just made is the coldest possible take you can make about the ROTY of the Year race….

Ja Morant Triple Double 12 Pts/13 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (8/13/2020)
Ja Morant and Jonas Valanciunas (a combo affectionately known to me Jorant Jalanciunas) each recorded a triple-double in this game. That is an exceedingly rare circumstance; I can’t find an authoritative source, but I did find a non-authoritative source (a Reddit thread) which alleged that there were ten such occurrences in NBA history, the most…

Sources from inside The Bubb are informing me that, immediately after this game concluded, Ja Morant pretended to go in for a fist bump with his teammate Dillon Brooks, but “missed” and socked him right in the face five times until he was unconscious. While this attack took place, he yelled, “Stop chucking bad shots…

The ‘Zlies are collapsing. Not collapsing hard enough to cost Ja Morant the ROTY of the Year award (which is the only thing ‘Zlies fans should be caring about right now), no collapse is big enough for that to happen, but collapsing in such a way that their chances at the playoffs are now in…

Fourth quarter Ja Morant does it again. At this point, I’m not even sure that he’s aware of the existence of the other three quarters. He must think those are all just warmups/shootarounds for the twelve minutes of “real game” that happen during the fourth quarter. With eleven points in the fourth quarter, after scoring…

My video source for this game had a lot of weirdness going on with it, so I am forced to apologize for: -A missing Ja Morant assist -A missing Ja Morant bucket (I got the replays though, so at least you get to see it) -Missing Ja Morant replays after his sick alley-oop dunk (currently…

It seems clear to me that Ja Morant will be ROTY of the year this season. There are no other rookies who possess his combination of stats and team success. Some people will argue that Zion Williamson deserves the award, but in the extremely thorough, extremely factual analysis that follows, even the most ardent Zion…

In my opinion, Ja Morant is still the runaway ROTY of the Year. I’ve discussed this many times since Zion Williamson’s return and my opinion has not changed. No matter how good Zion has been, he simply missed too many games to qualify. The argument over which player is actually better from a basketball standpoint,…

Ja Morant is a young guy with a lot of money in a big (but not too big) city. Even though he has a squeaky-clean public image, aside from a beef with noted worthless pile of garbage Andre Iguodala, you just know that he’s getting up to some stuff that he would rather the media…

ESPN has been trying to stir up some debate or whatever by insinuating that Zion Williamson is in the convo for the ROTY of the Year award. I don’t think any reasonable person thinks that he is, but ESPN (and other media outlets of the same ilk) is in the business of driving engagement to…
