On his podcast broadcast from Wednesday, Draymond Green addressed Memphis Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks. Even so, the Golden State Warriors forward also shared some words of wisdom with Ja Morant.
After news surfaced on Saturday that Morant posted a video of himself clutching what seems to be a pistol at a Colorado nightclub, most observers have begged for grace and Green didn’t join them. He also praised Tee Morant’s parenting, noting that, while Ja is ultimately accountable for his own actions, Tee has done a fantastic job of growing Ja as a successful Black man.
Green, though, urged Morant to draw wisdom from the experience
The Grizzlies confirmed on Monday that Morant will miss at least the next four games, beginning with Thursday’s game against the Warriors. Morant has not been seen by the club since Saturday (6:30 p.m., TNT).
“It’s awful, but only severe enough that he’ll survive it and be OK. That said, it’s enough to force a choice. In order to force you to decide between two options, “As Green put it. “If you want to be the face of the NBA, you can’t put the league in danger. When you put the NBA in a bind, you can’t be the face of the NBA.”
Draymond Green, who has praised Morant in the past, continued by saying that superstars such as LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and the rest of the Warriors don’t put the NBA in sticky situations. He hoped that Morant would realize what an honor it is to be recognized as one of the NBA’s most recognizable players.
Yet, because of his recent choices, it and the Grizzlies’ chances of being a contender are in peril.
What a waste, for that to even be an option to begin with. According to Green, “you’re throwing away a team that’s contending at a championship level and is the No. 2 seed in the West. True champions are few and far between. You don’t win titles just because you have a team that appears like it should or could. There are a lot of variables to consider.
There aren’t many chances like this. Act responsibly and pick the best options. Because you never know when this kind of chance may present itself again, you should seize it while you can. Get more news and updates on your favorite players or teams only here at onlinesportsbetting.ph.
