00:00 Of course, John Morant's return was impressive,
00:02 but what I found slightly amusing is people were acting
00:04 like, you know, he was responding to adversity,
00:07 not his own self-created issues.
00:09 I never doubted John as a basketball player.
00:12 - Yeah, no, nobody expected that he was going to come in
00:15 and like, act like he's aged seven years
00:18 when he was back on the court.
00:19 No, it was great.
00:20 I think beyond anything he did on the court,
00:23 in terms of his numbers, I know he was 12-24,
00:26 but 0-5 for the three-point line,
00:27 I think he was never the greatest shooter anyway.
00:29 I think just his impact, not just for that team,
00:31 but just for the league, he's such an exciting player.
00:34 Just having him back on the floor was fantastic.
00:36 - And that's when he can't mess up, because you're right.
00:38 Like, it energizes the Grizzlies franchise.
00:41 It makes them feel like they matter.
00:42 And Ja, you know, he's a highlight machine,
00:45 which would be great for the league.
00:46 We just want to see those highlights on IG Live
00:49 and not anything else.
00:50 (upbeat music)
