Tee Morant Supports His Son With Special “Redemption” Hoodie

by

Tee Morant has been subjected to a lot of criticism as of late. Overall, this has been due to his son Ja’s actions. As we all know by now, Ja flashed a gun on Instagram Live which eventually led to his suspension from the league. Moreover, people began to point the finger at Tee, claiming that he should step up and be more of a father. These criticisms were a bit of an overreach as no one actually knows the dynamics of Tee and Ja’s relationship. However, the internet loves to talk, and that is precisely what we saw in this particular instance.

Last night, Ja Morant was able to make his grand comeback. His eight-game suspension expired on Monday, and the Grizzlies were slowly bringing him back to the lineup. Wednesday night proved to be a fruitful one for the Grizzlies as they defeated the Houston Rockets. Furthermore, Morant was able to have a solid game coming off the bench. He dropped a total of 17 points in just 24 minutes, including a beautiful poster dunk. Additionally, Tee Morant was in the building and he was definitely making a statement with his clothing.

Tee Morant Back In The Stands

In the Twitter post up above, you can see that Tee was wearing a hoodie that read “Redemption.” The shirt also depicted Ja Morant dapping up Tee courtside. Overall, it was a nice message that showcases what Ja is trying to accomplish right now. In many ways, he feels as though he has let down the franchise and the fanbase. Although, he is now being given a chance to redeem himself. This is especially true now that the playoffs are here.

As it stands, the Grizzlies are second in the Western Conference. If the playoffs were to begin today, then the team would end up playing the Minnesota Timberwolves, who they played against last year. The Grizzlies have consistently been great this season, and there will be huge expectations in the postseason. Let us know what you thought of Ja Morant’s return, in the comments below.

Ja Morant & His Daughter Quote NBA YoungBoy After Return To The Court

by

Ja Morant is one of the best players in the entire NBA. However, he has gotten into some trouble as of late, and it has kept him off of the court. The instance that truly hurt him though was when he flashed a gun on Instagram Live. This subsequently led to an eight-game suspension from the league. On Wednesday night, Morant was allowed to come back. His team was playing at home against the Houston Rockets, which means there was a solid chance he would secure a victory in his return. In the end, that is exactly what he and the Grizzlies did.

Although, it should be noted that Morant was coming off of the bench last night. This is due to the fact that he had been away from the team for some time. Either way, Morant found a way to make an impact immediately. He scored a total of 17 points in 24 minutes of action. This included a beautiful poster dunk that had the whole crowd on its feet. Overall, it was a great way for Morant to come back, and the fans appreciated his efforts.

Ja Morant Is Excited

After the game, Morant was interviewed on the court while he held his infant daughter. It was here where Morant quoted NBA YoungBoy lyrics. “It’s a parade inside my city yeah,” Ja Morant said with excitement on his face. Additionally, he had his daughter say it which made for a very cute moment. Ultimately, the excitement inside of Memphis is palpable, and for good reason. The Grizzlies are rolling right now and with the second seed in the Western Conference, the world is theirs.

Following this game, fans can expect Morant to start matches again. Head coach Taylor Jenkins was simply trying to get Ja acclimated to the system again, and it seems like he is ready for any challenge. Overall, this is great news for the Grizzlies, and their playoff campaign will be fun to watch. Let us know what you thought of last night’s game, in the comments below.

Paul George Injury Timeline Revealed, Twitter Reacts

by

Paul George is a player who means a whole lot to the Los Angeles Clippers. Overall, he has held the team down while Kawhi Leonard has been dealing with his own knee problems. However, now it will be Leonard’s turn to hold the team down as George went down with a leg injury on Tuesday night. This injury came in a game against the Oklahoma City Thunder in which the Clippers lost by one. It seemed like a very bad injury at the time, and some thought that the star would be out for the rest of the season.

Although, it now seems like the Clippers are getting hit with just a bit of luck. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, George is going to be re-evaluated in about two to three weeks. The diagnosis is a sprained right knee, which is much better than an ACL or MCL tear, which is what some fans thought they saw. Had George been told he was gone for the year, the team’s title chances would have immediately taken a hit.

Paul George Sprains His Knee

Fans are currently breathing a sigh of relief over this news. If you were to check the quote tweets on Wojnarowski’s report, you would see the jubilation that many are feeling right now. “I’m glad it isn’t much worse, hope my glorious king gets better soon,” one person wrote. “Wow incredibly lucky after seeing that injury,” said another. Brian Sutterer, a doctor who comments on sports injuries also commented on the matter. “MASSIVE relief,” he wrote. “Sprain suggests a ligament injury, and this timeline is probably too quick for an ACL sprain. PCL sprain would fit with that timeline and mechanism, but we may get some more information.”

Overall, the Clippers have definitely escaped a worst-case scenario here. All of this could have been a lot worse. However, George will now get to rejoin his teammates in time for the postseason. The Clippers are currently fifth in the Western Conference, but with how tight the standings are, you never know what may happen.

Cam’ron Roasts Anthony Davis For Questionable Locker Room Video

by

Cam’ron has been killing it as of late with his brand-new sports show dubbed “It Is What It Is.” As it stands, this show is being hosted on YouTube, however, it could very well be finding a new home at some point. Overall, this is due to the fact that numerous companies have been reaching out to Cam. The show is so good that there is now a bidding war for it. This just goes to show how much charisma Cam has on the show, while his chemistry with Ma$e is simply unmatched.

What makes this show truly unique is just how open and honest Cam can be about a plethora of different topics. There is no one trying to censor him. Consequently, some of the segments can be pretty hilarious and out of pocket. If you are sick of the First Take and Undisputed machine, then “It Is What It Is” is for you. A good example of Cam’s approach to sports commentary can be found in the Instagram post below. In this clip, Cam questions Anthony Davis for always being injured. However, after finding a hazing video from Davis when he was at Kentucky, even more questions were posed.

Cam’ron Questions AD

As you can see in the clip, Davis is naked on the floor of the locker room. Additionally, one teammate is holding him down and slapping his behind. Davis even appears fired up about the whole thing. His eyes go wide open and he sticks his tongue out. Cam was very obviously disturbed by the whole thing as he wrote “found out why AD hasn’t played a full season yet (frame 2) his extra curricular activities are wild pauuuuussseeeeee.” Furthermore, he went on to say “Lake show getting too freaky,” among other things.

If you are a fan of sports and you love Cam, then his show is absolutely worth listening to. While he and Ma$e don’t always have the facts or statistics to back up their talking points, they make for entertaining conversation. Their subjectivity is awesome and there is no doubt that this show has tremendous potential. Let us know what you think of “It Is What It Is,” in the comments below.

Kevin Garnett Reveals How Kobe Inspired Him To Drop Ray Allen Beef

by

Kevin Garnett was one of the greatest players in the NBA during his era. Moreover, he was able to bring a championship to the Boston Celtics franchise back in 2008. Overall, it was a great achievement for that team which boasted the talents of Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Rajon Rondo. Unfortunately, Pierce and Garnett eventually had beef with the likes of Ray Allen. This is due to Allen joining those iconic Miami Heat teams during the early 2010s. For years, Garnett didn’t even want to look Allen in his eyes.

However, if you were watching Paul Pierce’s jersey retirement ceremony, you would know that they have patched things up. If you are a Boston Celtics fan, this is truly incredible to see. You never want legendary players to be beefing with one another, especially when they meant so much to their respective teams. Not to mention, you never know what can happen to people from one day to the next. Leaving things on bad terms with people can leave you feeling empty and broken when it is all said and done.

Kevin Garnett Makes A Statement

While speaking on the Allen situation, Garnett explained why he decided to patch things up. Overall, it mostly had to do with Kobe Bryant and his unexpected passing. In the eyes of KG, life can be very fragile, and he didn’t want to leave his relationship with Allen on bad terms. “The passing of Kobe and all of us getting older helped me understand that life is not given to none of us,” Garnett said. “It would have f*cked with me if something were to happen to Ray and I didn’t get a chance to amend this.”

The Garnett-Allen beef was always one-sided, to begin with. Allen never spoke ill of KG, however, Garnett was always making interesting comments about his former teammate. Regardless, the two have mended fences, which is truly great to see. Hopefully, we get to see more reunions between these two, in the future. Let us know what you think of all this, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from the sports world.

Draymond Green Rips Fans For Creating Andrew Wiggins Rumors

by

Despite what some might think of him, there is no doubt that Draymond Green is a leader for the Golden State Warriors. Overall, he has won four titles with the team and he has numerous accolades. That said, when something happens to one of his teammates, he has the clout to speak up about it. Subsequently, this aforementioned clout has come in handy as Andrew Wiggins is going through a rough situation. It has been said that he will likely be out for the rest of the season with a personal matter. Although his privacy should be respected, fans have still crafted their own theories about his absence.

As we reported earlier this week, Wiggins’ girlfriend had to respond to these rumors. This is because the theories involved her directly. Essentially, people have been saying that Wiggins was cheated on. Furthermore, his girlfriend allegedly cheated with his best friend. To make matters worse, it is also rumored that Wiggins’ child actually belongs to his best friend. Overall, it is a pretty wild rumor that many are saying has absolutely no basis in reality.

Draymond Green Speaks Out

On a recent episode of his podcast, Draymond Green spoke out about the rumors. After watching this all play out on social media, Green was feeling sick to his stomach. This subsequently prompted a podcast segment in which he went off on fans for creating narratives. As you can see, Green was quite passionate about the topic. “Sometimes people disgust me,” Green said. “You don’t know what someone is dealing with, and then you make them deal with THAT?… Stop it, it’s disgusting.”

Green is certainly correct in his analysis here. Sports fans tend to take things way too far. They will see one thing on Reddit and then run with it for all of eternity. However, there is no consideration for the subject of these rumors and how they may be feeling internally. Ultimately, this trend probably won’t be dying out anytime soon. Although, we hope that we are proven wrong on this, as the social media sphere is definitely getting out of hand. Stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sports world.

Willis Reed Passes Away At 80

by

If you are a New York Knicks fan, you know just how legendary Willis Reed was. Overall, he is someone who has represented the Knicks organization with tremendous class. Moreover, he was on the team during their most prosperous years. In 1970 and 1973, he helped the team win the NBA championship. During the first of these title runs, Reed won both league MVP and Finals MVP. Sadly, the NBA legend passed away today at the age of 80. Following this news, the New York Knicks released a statement on the matter.

“The Knicks organization is deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved Captain, Willis Reed,” the statement read. “As we mourn, we will always strive to uphold the standards he left behind — the unmatched leadership, sacrifice and work ethic that personified him as a champion among champions. His is a legacy that will live forever. We ask everyone to please respect the family’s privacy during this difficult time.”

Willis Reed Remembered

For those who may not know, Reed had an incredible moment in the 1970 NBA Finals that has stood the test of time. During that series, he had suffered an awful injury that many thought would be impossible to come back from. However, the legend came back in Game 7 when his team needed him the most. Reed subsequently went on to score two quick baskets, and his team took care of the rest. It was one of the defining moments of the NBA during that era, and Reed will always be remembered for his tenacity.

Overall, this is a massive loss for the NBA community. Reed is one of those incredible players who helped the league become what it is today. Additionally, if you love the Knicks, Reed is someone that should absolutely be revered in your household. Our heart goes out to his family, friends, and the NBA world during this time. RIP to a legend.

Ja Morant Responds To Alcoholism Rumors

by

Over the past few weeks, Ja Morant has been a key figure throughout the NBA. Overall, the narrative surrounding Morant hasn’t exactly been all that complimentary. This is due to the fact that Morant was suspended for eight games after flashing a gun on Instagram Live. Although he did not face any criminal charges, the NBA did not like what this did for its image. Moreover, this came at a time when Morant was being accused of other alleged instances of misconduct. Needless to say, it is easy to see why the NBA sat him down.

Now, however, Morant is going to be back on the floor as of Wednesday. The Memphis Grizzlies will be taking on the Houston Rockets in that game, and it should be an interesting return. That said, the media scrutiny around this game will be quite intense. Even now, Morant is already feeling it as numerous reporters swarmed him today after Grizzlies practice. During the scrum, Morant was asked about his recent visit to a counseling program in Florida. Below, you can see how he was even asked to address the rumors that he is an alcoholic.

Ja Morant Speaks Out

“I don’t have an alcohol problem,” Ja Morant said matter-of-factly. Overall, this is a rumor that materialized due to some viral videos of Morant drinking on a flight. The video seemed quite harmless, however, the internet decided to make a big thing about it. That is what the internet is good for these days, and Morant has been finding that out the hard way. Either way, it is good to hear this from him directly. You never want to see someone go down a dark bath such as alcohol abuse.

No matter what Morant does to close out the year, he will continue to be a big story. Fans are always drawn to negativity, and there are those who want to see that expand. However, most rational people just want Morant to succeed and have a prosperous time in the league, moving forward. Let us know what you think of all this, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from the sports world.

Ja Morant’s Return Timeline Gets Massive Update, Fans React

by

Ja Morant has been the biggest story in the entire NBA over the past few weeks. Overall, this is due to the fact that he flashed a gun on Instagram Live. He was subsequently suspended by the NBA for a total of eight games. Moreover, during the midst of this controversy, he was accused of threatening a teenager and a mall cop. These alleged instances had happened in the past, although they were definitely publicized quite a bit throughout this controversy.

Now, however, Morant is allowed back with the Memphis Grizzlies. Morant was reinstated by the league on Monday. That night, his team had a game against the Dallas Mavericks, although he did not play. Instead, the team wanted him to gradually get back into the swing of things, instead of just going full force back into the game. It was a solid decision that ultimately allowed Morant to have fun with his teammates yesterday. According to TMZ, head coach Taylor Jenkins even offered a nice update on Morant and what he did on Monday.

Ja Morant Is Almost Back

As Jenkins explained, Morant got to address the team on Monday, where he outlined his changed behaviors. Additionally, Jenkins suggested that Morant will likely return to the court on Wednesday, which is tomorrow. The Grizzlies are set to play the Houston Rockets in Memphis, so it’s the perfect time for Morant to return. He won’t be dealing with any of the vices from the road, and he will be playing a very easy opponent. No matter what, the Grizzlies fanbase will be happy to have him back.

This whole situation has been very stressful for Ja, the franchise, and of course, the fans. However, it seems like the matter has been resolved, at least for now. It will now be up to Morant to showcase that he has truly changed. Hopefully, this last stretch of the season goes off without any issues. Below, you can find what fans have to say about all of this.

Kyrie Irving Speaks After Skipping Dillon Brooks Jersey Swap

by

Kyrie Irving is very much a player who lives in his own world. Overall, Kyrie is one of the best players in the entire NBA. He is very exciting to watch, and he can become a blockbuster player on any given night. However, he does tend to do things his own way, which causes some issues. At the end of the day, Irving just wants to live his life. Although, there are some people who simply want him to fail, no matter the cost. It makes for an interesting dynamic that usually ends up playing out on social media.

Although recently, Irving was scrutinized for a much more hilarious reason. Last night, the Dallas Mavericks were playing against the Memphis Grizzlies. It was a pretty good game that eventually led to a win from the Grizzlies. Subsequently, following the match, Dillon Brooks tried to swap jerseys with Kyrie Irving. In the clip below, you can see Kyrie giving his jersey to Brooks. However, he does not take Brooks’ jersey for himself. Consequently, Brooks was seen walking around the court with two jerseys.

Kyrie Irving x Dillon Brooks

After the game, Kyrie Irving spoke about what happened, noting that his head was somewhere else. “I saw that after the game,” Kyrie said. “I’ll probably get it next time. Probably next time. Not this time. I was really onto the next thing, thought process-wise.” Ultimately, this is a very plausible explanation, especially since this is Kyrie. Moreover, it is even funnier because it is Dillon Brooks whose jersey was not accepted. Fans hate Dillon Brooks right now, so any kind of incident such as this one is seen as a comedy of errors.

At this point, it is very unlikely that Brooks will ever be liked by the majority of NBA fans. He is starting to turn into Draymond Green, and people do not like that. Additionally, the Memphis Grizzlies are just not extremely likable right now. When you put all of this together, it becomes clear that this situation was really funny. For once, Kyrie is seen as the hero. Hopefully, he cherishes the feeling for a while.
