Ja single-handedly winning the game for the Grizz. All of a sudden the Grizz are ballin again
 
wow wish Steven Adams wasn’t injured. Grizzlies would be solid
 
I need Jaylen to play at this level forever. Guy's currently earning that contract.
 
Good win for the Warriors. They can still play at a high level every now and then.
 
My personal opinion is Ja doesn't play championship basketball. I don't think he will ever get a ring. Highlight reel yes, but that only means so much.

He is definitely championship material given his skill set and abilities, granted he doesn’t do the off court shit. If you had watched the 2nd half of this game, you know how effective he can be leading his team to victory. Memphis is a bottom dwelling team without him and a contender with him.

What is championship basketball? A team effort. He needs a better big to run the pnr. The Grizzlies also need better shooters if he's going to be driving so much. Ja isn't as good as SGA on the mid range/vision. He's weaker than ANT. We'll see how it goes. He's #3 in the West behind them right now. That's not even including Luka who's probably the best player in the league.
 
Forget Jordan vs Lebron. Who is a better pure athlete between Westbrook and Payton 2?

This isn’t saying much tbh. History isn’t behind teams led by tiny guards. He also doesn’t shoot well enough and has to drive to the hoop where he’s always getting hurt. He’s also an idiot with a ton of off the court shit. lol.

Phil makes me wonder. Guy had teams with MJ and Pippen, and Shaq and Kobe. did he ever coach teams without two top 50 all time players? I'm an ignoramus.

Phil had great players but how much of their greatness was due to Phil's guidance and coaching style? Jordan has said Phil Jackson had a huge impact on his game and career. We also know he was capable of controlling hard to control players like Dennis Rodman. Yes, he won a shit ton of rings because he coached great teams and players but I think there is enough evidence to also admit he is an all time great basketball coach.

A stye that both impacts the game tremendously and that you can viably win it all with. To me, he is in the camp of Allan Iverson and Russell Westbrook. Phenomenally talented players, can put up numbers and mad highlights, but needs to be "the guy" on the team to be happy, but doesn't really have the the efficiency, dominance, and decision making to go over the top of other great teams.

Happy to be proven wrong, but I just can't picture Ja leading a team to a championship, even with the right role players. He'd have to be on a team with other stars to have a chance IMO, and then would probably clash with them and have problems.

Agree somewhat but saying Iverson wasn’t championship material is wild
