“He is just Derrick Rose not Jokic or Giannis” Colin Cowherd presents outlandish view of ‘Flashy Point Guard’ JA Morant not elevating Grizzlies teammates 

“He is just Derrick Rose not Jokic or Giannis” Colin Cowherd presents outlandish view of ‘Flashy Point Guard’ JA Morant not elevating Grizzlies teammates 

Colin Cowherd on JA Morant

The Memphis Grizzlies have taken the league by storm and have exceeded majority of expectations in order to stamp their authority with or without JA Morant. While many saw the Point Guard as the marquee figure in leading the scoring charts for the team, even in his absence, the Memphis Grizzlies have cruised in red hot form, managing to maintain a 18-2 record. Which has led Colin Cowherd to present a sceptical view point upon the 22-year-old. 

Colin on the most recent episode of The Herd, discussed the 18-2 form of the Memphis Grizzlies. On the same note, he discussed the MVP candidature and presence of JA Morant in the league. Comparing the ‘flashy point guard’ to the likes of Derrick Rose, Colin suggested that the former is not able to elevate the game of his teammates. In simpler ways, he does not have the same impact upon his team’s performance like MJ and LeBron had in their MVP year.

Colin Cowherd deems JA Morant as flashy point guard

He started by saying, “I like JA Morant, I think he is sensational, superb. He is going to be a Hall of Famer, I love him. But most ‘Valuable’ Player Michael Jordan left his team in his prime, the Bulls didn’t go 18-2. LeBron left Cavaliers, Miami and Pat Riley, the results were catastrophic. John Wall, Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook, JA Morant, do these players elevate others?”

Cowherd went onto suggest and explain that if MVP votes are to recorded for his household, it would to his wife as she everyone around her.  

“Whenever I criticize JA Morant, people shout COLIN! He’s different. No he’s not, he’s Derrick Rose, who by the way dominated the league for 3 years until LeBron James said, ‘Take a back seat kid.’ Don’t tell me he’s (JA Morant) different, that’s recency bias. Many of you in the media are be-holded to emotion.

“JA Morant is Derrick Rose, small, spectacular, mesmerising, amazing and a transformational talent. But I don’t think he makes everyone better.”

Lastly, Colin Cowherd supported his argument by comparing JA Morant and flashy point guard to running quarterbacks in the NFL. While guys like Russell Wilson have got way better than highlights than Tom Brady, but have they won 7- Super Bowls? No. But is that going to be the case for Most Improved Player favorite JA Morant in the coming years? In the NBA? Remains to be seen.
