Beyond all the questions about rotations and the arena, as a collective of fans and people, I want to point to this specific moment from today.
Ja Morant, the Blazers' highly critiqued new addition, gave us an answer to a question that shows the human in an athlete:
“ Everything that has happened over the years was stuck with me; as long as “Memphis” was across my chest, it was still getting said…I am sure everyone here is probably still judging off that “
That last sentence hits hard, as even in his new home and with a clean slate, it’s those in that new environment that he feels still judge him.
I’m not the leader of Blazer’s fans or anything close to it, but I ask that, as a collective, we form an opinion this human being only by what he exemplifies in this jersey and in this city, not from a mistake from 5 years ago.
Wrap your arms around the guy and welcome him into this great city and organization.

🚨 Wayno tells Peter Rosenberg to “SHUT UP and dribble” and says Ebro is WRONG for criticizing Ye unveiling the Dr. Donda West Way sign himself
“Rosenberg, man, you gotta shut up and dribble… Ebro, bro, you wrong, bro.”
Wayno says there was nothing weird about Ye wanting to personally unveil a street named after his own mother, especially after losing her years ago.
“I’d be motherfucking damned if my moms is going to get a street named after her and somebody else is going to pull that up instead of me.”
He says the moment had nothing to do with Ye’s music, Drake, Pusha T, Jay-Z or any of his past controversies, and questions why people were even looking for something negative in it.
“How could you find anything negative to say about what that man did?”
Wayno also calls Rosenberg’s approach corny for criticizing Ye while praising Donda in the same breath:
“You’re going to violate me, then big up my moms? Nigga, fuck out of here.”
He says Ye being a successful Black son honoring his successful Black mother in their hometown should’ve been enough reason to let him have that moment.
“It should be nobody revealing that but him.”
Every single Barb should be PUSHING the fact that it is now on COURT RECORD that Desiree Perez was using witch doctors to spiritually AND physically attack @NICKIMINAJ
EVERYONE should be talking about this. This is EVERYTHING Nicki has been talking about for YEARS
