Live broadcast, October 15 -former NBA player and current basketball commentator Parkins talked about grizzly bear star Jia Morant in NBA Today.
“Listen, we shouldn’t be surprised when Jia Morant’s name appears in the MVP discussion. We should all know that this guy will enter into the MVP discussion. Even if he cannot win the MVP in the future, there is nothing he cannot do now.” Parkins said in the program.
“People want him to be a leader on the court and he can do it; People want him to cut points like the best player in the league, and he also proves that he can do it. What I admire most about Morant is that he is tough on the defensive side. When you have such a player and such a leader, everything in the team will go smoothly. I didn’t talk about him during the whole offseason, because I didn’t think it was necessary to do so. Last season, I told his story to the whole world. The goal set on the 12th (Morant jersey number) is still very high because he owns Owen’s technology, russell-Westbrook athletic ability and Rondo’s basketball vision.” Parkins continued.
During the 2021-22 regular season, Morant played 57 games for the grizzly bear, with an average contribution of 27.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.2 steals, field goal percentage and 49.3 percent; 9 games in the playoffs, each game contributed 27.1 points, 8.0 rebounds, 9.8 assists and 2.0 steals.
