Lil Baby Recites Ja Morant’s Favorite NBA YoungBoy Lyric

by

Lil Baby is a massive basketball fan, and as someone who spends a lot of time in Atlanta, you can imagine he goes to quite a few Hawks games. Overall, there are plenty of celebrities who pop out at Hawks matches, and for good reason. With Trae Young on the roster, the team is actually quite entertaining to watch. Moreover, the team is always hosting some of the best teams around the league. For instance, on Sunday night, the Hawks went up against Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies.

As we already reported, Lil Baby was front and center for this matchup. Overall, he was treated to a great show. Although, it was the Grizzlies who came out victorious thanks to an incredible effort from none other than Ja Morant. After the game, Morant got to link up with Baby. Additionally, Morant decided to gift the rapper his jersey. He even signed the back of it, which makes the uniform that much more valuable. However, we are pretty sure Lil Baby isn’t the type to immediately take memorabilia to eBay.

Lil Baby x Ja Morant

In the clips up above, you can see that they had a very jovial interaction. Moreover, Lil Baby even recited Morant’s favorite NBA YoungBoy lyrics. Of course, the Grizzlies star is always saying “it’s a parade inside my city, yeah” after big wins. The phrase has even been scrutinized by Skip Bayless, who is subsequently being clowned for the way he says it. Ultimately, it was a fun night for both of these men who seem to be at the top of their respective fields right now.

When it comes to Morant, he and the Memphis Grizzlies are second in the Western Conference. They want to make a deep run in the playoffs, and they are certainly in a good position to do so. Whether or not they will be able to execute their plans, completely depends on Morant and their young core. Either way, it is going to be very fun to watch. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Kevin Durant Has Had It With Charles Barkley

by

Kevin Durant is someone who has caught a lot of flack from the old heads over the years. Overall, there is a contingent of people who believe that Durant is soft. Moreover, some people have even called him terms like “miserable.” Mostly, this criticism has come from Charles Barkley. Over the years, Barkley has called Durant a “bus rider” as opposed to a “bus driver.” Additionally, it has almost become clear that he does not like KD. In some cases, it has even felt personal, with Durant calling Chuck out on social media.

With each passing day, these two grow to dislike each other even more. For instance, in a recent interview, Barkley said: “He’s very sensitive. Great player. He’s part of that generation who think he can’t be criticized. He’s never looked in the mirror and says ‘Man, is that a fair criticism?’” Although this isn’t the first time someone has said this about KD, it does seem odd that Barkley keeps harping on this. In fact, Durant saw the comments and immediately decided that he had had enough.

Kevin Durant Speaks

On Twitter, Durant wrote, “This ain’t gettin tiring chuck? I’ll never respect the words that come out ya mouth fam just deal with it.” Furthermore, a fan noted that KD only dislikes it when people keep it personal. When it comes to basketball, KD takes his criticism with grace. Durant noticed this comment took the quote tweets, adding “This is where I’m at wit it…” Needless to say, Durant doesn’t mind being criticized for his play. However, the criticism better be from a pure basketball standpoint. Otherwise, he does not want to hear it.

Barkley has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way over the years. He is someone who does not hold back, and that is especially true when it comes to Durant. Although, the players are starting to clap back, and it has forced Chuck’s hand. Even a sitdown between these two probably wouldn’t square away their beef. That said, we’re not sure the fans would even want that. In the eyes of many, this feud just makes the league that much more entertaining.

Ja Morant Hilariously Mocks Skip Bayless: Watch

by

Ja Morant made his grand return to the NBA this past week. Overall, he has been excellent since his suspension. While some were worried that his off-court antics would prove to be a distraction, it appears the opposite. For instance, just a couple of nights ago, Morant dropped an impressive 27 points against the Hawks. Moreover, he helped his team win the game, cementing the Grizzlies as a second seed in the Western Conference. Furthermore, the team is just three games out of first place, which is truly impressive given everything that went down only three weeks ago.

If you have watched Grizzlies games, you know that whenever the team wins, Morant says the NBA YoungBoy lyric, “It’s a parade inside my city, yeah.” Morant echoed this phrase during his first game back on the Grizzlies’ sideline. This subsequently led to a segment on Undisputed in which Skip Bayless mimicked the saying, but in a goofy cadence. From there, the clip went viral and the Grizzlies have been embracing the meme. In fact, even Ja is self-aware of the whole situation.

Ja Morant Sees Everything

In the video up above, Morant enters the Grizzlies’ tunnel after a game and immediately says his signature phrase. However, he made sure to say it exactly as Skip would. It was a pretty hilarious moment that had the internet in an uproar. As for Bayless himself, he really has no choice but to tip his cap to Morant. After all, the Grizzlies superstar is playing great basketball and it feels like he cannot be stopped. Hopefully, Bayless realizes that these lyrics are not bad at all and that Ja has turned the corner on his past behavior.

As for the Grizzlies, they have an opportunity to make something happen in the postseason. They are staring down a rematch with the Minnesota Timberwolves, which could subsequently lead to a rematch with the Golden State Warriors. Although, this team is more mature than they were last year and it will be interesting to see how they respond. They have a young core, and this postseason could very well prove to be their coming-out party. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Tristan Thompson Puts Mario Chalmers On Blast For LeBron Comments

by

While Tristan Thompson might not be in the league anymore, there is no doubt that he is an accomplished man. Overall, he finished his career with one NBA title, and it was a historic one. Thompson was on that 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers team that finally brought a championship to Ohio. Moreover, it was the series where the Cavs came back from down 3-1 to defeat the 73-9 Golden State Warriors. Needless to say, Thompson has every right to that talk once and a while, even if he wasn’t a star player on the team.

Recently, Thompson’s most prominent teammate from that squad, LeBron James, has been disparaged in the media. This is because of former Miami Heat star Mario Chalmers, who claims LeBron was never feared. These are some interesting comments especially since James is the best player Chalmers ever played with. Furthermore, he helped Chalmers win an NBA title. While speaking on Draymond Green’s podcast, Tristan Thompson hammered these points home.

Tristan Thompson Speaks

“That shit pissed me off, man,” Thompson said. “How can you say that about a guy you went to war with, who believed in you; and you’re going to come and say ‘No one fears LeBron?’ This is the best player you’ve ever been on the court with… Guys be on some sucker shit. I don’t like that kind of stuff. Thompson also claimed that Chalmers probably asked LeBron for a spot on a roster and was told “no.” While Thompson doesn’t know this for sure, he is uncertain as to why anyone would make these comments about a former teammate. It is a good question to ask, and we are all trying to figure that out.

No matter what, nothing can touch or alter LeBron’s legacy at this point. With everything that he has done, he is cemented in NBA history. However, it is good to see guys like Tristan Thompson going to bat for him. Hopefully, this continues to be the case for James, moving forward. Let us know what you think of Mario Chalmers’ initial comments, down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the NBA.

Needless to say, when he is ready to return, James will be the one to say it. “There wasn’t an evaluation today and there hasn’t been any target date for my return,” LeBron said. “I’m just working around the clock, every day (3X a day) to give myself to best chance of coming back full strength whenever that is. God bless y’all sources. I speak for myself!” It is a very strong message that has Lakers fans in shambles right now.

All is not lost for the Lakers right now. Of course, there is still a chance that LeBron will be ready to come back in time for the playoffs.

LeBron James & The Lakers Finally Get Good News

by

LeBron James is undoubtedly the heart and soul of the Los Angeles Lakers’ organization right now. Although it took him 15 seasons before joining the Lakers, there is no doubt that e is a valued member of that franchise. Overall, he helped bring the team a title back in 2020, and that will always be appreciated. Since then, however, the team has struggled to have any sort of playoff success. In fact, the team missed the postseason last year. Furthermore, the team is presently in yet another tight race for the play-in. Needless to say, there is a lot riding on this season.

As many fans already know, LeBron has been out of the Lakers’ lineup as of late. On February 26th, he injured his ankle which has led to his absence, ever since. Despite him being gone, the Lakers have done a good job of maintaining their presence in the play-in race. They are just a couple of games away from shooting up into seventh place, and with nine games left, sixth isn’t out of the question. In fact, the race for sixth could become a lot easier, very soon.

LeBron James On The Mend

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar could very well be back on the court for the last week of the season. This ultimately means James would play the last three or four games before the play-in. By that point, the Lakers will either be in a position to launch into the playoffs or they will be forced to win out in order to capture 10th place and secure a spot in the play-in. No matter what, this is great for the purple and gold who need as much help as possible.

Overall, LeBron is someone who knows how to navigate through these instances. The Lakers have a fairly young team, but they are clicking right now, which bodes well for a potential playoff run. No matter what, these last two and a half weeks are going to be interesting to watch. Hopefully, we get to see LeBron James at his best, very soon. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

by

Ja Morant is someone who has been watched closely by fans and the league as of late. Overall, this is due to the fact that he was engaging in some significant off-court antics. The straw that broke the camel’s back was when Morant decided to flash a gun on Instagram Live. Subsequently, he was suspended eight games by the NBA, without pay. However, he is now back with the Memphis Grizzlies, and on Wednesday night, he played his first game since being suspended.

This matchup took place against the Houston Rockets, who are easily one of the worst teams in the entire NBA. It proved to be a fruitful game for the Grizzlies who managed to win by a score of 130-125. Moreover, the team had Morant coming off of the bench. Head coach Taylor Jenkins was looking to ease him back into things, and Ja did not disappoint. He had 17 points in 24 minutes and even came through with a poster dunk. As for how he was received by fans, it’s clear that Memphis still loves him.

Ja Morant Welcomed Back With Open Arms

Lil Wayne & Odell Beckham Jr. Chop It Up At The Lakers Game

by

Lil Wayne is someone who frequently attends basketball games. Additionally, the same can be said of Odell Beckham Jr. who spends a lot of time in Los Angeles. Consequently, you can typically see both of these men at Los Angeles Lakers games. While the Lakers may not be the best team right now, they are fascinating to watch. The team is 10th in the Western Conference, which means they are on the edge of the play-in. If LeBron James comes back in time, they could very well be on their way to a surprising playoff run. That said, it should be no surprise that people want front-row seats to their last 10 games.

Last night, the Lakers were taking on the Phoenix Suns, who are without Kevin Durant. Overall, the Lakers were able to take advantage of this as they won the game by a score of 122-111. This win put the Lakers that much closer to a playoff spot. Moreover, Lil Wayne and Odell were courtside for the occasion. In the video down below, you can see Wayne sitting next to his son Kameron, while OBJ was right next to them.

Lil Wayne x OBJ

Furthermore, the two were engaged in conversation the entire time. Although we cannot hear what they were saying, it is clear that the two have a great friendship. Wayne is someone who always seems to take an interest in those around him, which is nice to see. Perhaps OBJ was even talking about his free agency plans. As it stands, Odell is looking for a new NFL home, and the New York Jets as well as the Kansas City Chiefs seem to be the frontrunners to land his services.

Odell is coming off of quite a few injuries. For instance, he has had two ACL surgeries over the last few years. However, he still believes that he can be an effective wide receiver. If he were to play with Patrick Mahomes or Aaron Rodgers, he could very well have an incredible comeback season. Hopefully, we get to see that come to fruition. Stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Patrick Beverley Reveals Why He Won’t Have Sex Before Games

by

Patrick Beverley is one of those guys in the NBA who does not shy away from speaking his mind. Overall, Beverley’s honesty can oftentimes be a bit offputting. However, there is no doubt that the fans love him for it. Sure, he might get roasted for his talents, but his confidence is something to marvel at. If it weren’t for his trash talk or his confidence, he wouldn’t have the platform he has now. The platform in question is a show through Barstool Sports called The Pat Bev Podcast.

Throughout the lifespan of this show, Beverley has made some very interesting comments and revelations. Most of the time, Beverley can be heard speaking about his experiences with various teams. For instance, he recently talked about how he was frustrated with the Lakers. Subsequently, this apparently led to him asking for a trade. Although, the initial reports claim the Lakers wanted to get rid of him, first. Either way, the podcast is filled with gems, and that was certainly the case on “Episode 23.” In fact, some might say that Patrick Beverley got a little too personal on this one.

Patrick Beverley Gets A Little Too Honest

Above, you can hear the full episode. However, one of the more interesting parts is when he starts to explain his sex life and how it relates to playing in the NBA. As Pat Bev explains, he does not have any sex before games. Overall, this is to help keep his legs fresh. Although, Beverley did admit that this is a pretty hard rule to follow when you consider that he has a game every other day. It made for some hilarious conversation, especially since Beverley began to realize that he should probably stop talking about this.

Patrick Beverley is not the first athlete to employ this strategy. Boxers have stood by this rule for decades, although they go to the extreme with it. Jake Paul even blamed a recent loss on him having a wet dream. At this point, it is just one of those things that high-level athletes stand by.
