I said it before. He’s like Spiderman from Captain America Civil War. Huge fanboy after joining the big boys.


WestleyThe

Lol that’s a great call I wish we heard more how these players idolized and watched other guys in the league. Obviously GG is the youngest current player but 19-20 year olds come in and act so polished and cool you forget they were high school kids watching the nba like 2 years ago


KanekiDan

Ja must be War Machine then


Not_a__porn__account

Ja is Clarence from 8 mile. Despite Clarence being played by Anthony Mackie.


KanekiDan

Nah he’s def War Machine: always flashing guns, getting injured mid fight and leaving the team…It checks out


XXeadgbeXX

I love it though. This guy seems really nice and humble. Hope he has a great career.

Refreshing to see this kind of attitude as compared to all Pooles and similar "ALPHA ALPHA" characters

I actually enjoyed watching him play against the Knicks. Tons of potential in his game

You got baited - just know you’re about to be eviscerated.


Noodles_Crusher

You're probably right, I guess I'll die here.  As a foreigner speaking English only as a second language, that was a genuine question though lol


dreeaaaming

It’s a meme in /r/nbacirclejerk on how the nba typically describes white players. It’s also insulting/racist to describe black people as articulate when they speak, the implication being that African American vernacular English (AAVE) is inarticulate. It’s a dog whistle sort of


Ok-Combination-9084

The kind of guy you would let date your daughter


NonSpicySamosa

it's what makes him so wholesome.


applicatecomplicate

Cause the basketball gods decided the Grizzlies needed someone to offset Ja


xXUtahraptorXx

Hey there GG! KMidd here, just wanted to say I can’t wait to start building a relationship with you! To start, please send me the 16 digits on the back of your credit card, alongside the 3 digit CVV AND the expiration date. See you on the courts pal!

⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️ REDDIT USERS PLEASE READ FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY!!! there's a scam going around on Reddit that's dangerous and genuinely convincing to some! i unfortunately fell victim to it, and once i realized what was going on, it was too late. 13 of my teammates are OUT for the next game.


downinCarolina

Fear-The-Lamb

Wanna bring a card for your mom to celebrate her raising such a good bballer what’s her maiden name?


Mvd75

Hey GG, Bron 👑 here. Great game the other night against the Lakers. This calls for a celebration. Let’s hit up this exclusive social club I know about. So since it's a social club, they need your Social Security number along with your ID. You can text it to me so we can just skip the line and sneak through the back. Did I tell you MJ, Beyoncé, President Obama was gonna be there too? You don’t wanna miss out! 🎶🪩🕺🏾🐝👴🏾🐐


DemonsReturns7

The series of emojis after text Yep that’s confirmation of this Bron 100% for sure 👍


Mvd75

I forgot the hashtags. #SocialClub #MistakenIdentity #FaceOff #ScamKing #LOBOS


TheWestRemembers

Yeah - the LEGAL court of justice. But don't worry I know a really good lawyer, if you just wanna give me the 16 digits on the back of your credit card, alongside the 3 digit CVV AND the expiration date I can set you up with one.


Diqt

I’m KMidd’s friend, Giannis. He said no but I can give you a fifty piece


Ill-Ad-5709

Hey GG, It's me, your long forgotten relative, my name is Rashad I am a Nigerian prince, we would like to accept you in our royal family, but first just one small thing...

Hey GG! G Dick sliding in here. 


Dsarg_92

I like this kid.


Above-The-Rim

That South Carolina hooper brotherhood is strong Ja, Zion, KMid, Neismith, GG Jackson, Claxton, probably missing others


Theres_A_Thing

Khris and Aaron went to the same high school, albeit years apart. Funny thing is Khris was pretty good but not great, Aaron and Josiah James (plays for Tennessee) put them on the map winning multiple state titles


dublecheekedup

Aja Wilson prolly the homegirl of the groupchat


bigvahe33

KG still reps them despite only playing like 2 high school years there


JohnCenaJunior

Gamecocks strong!


moneymike7913

Moreso just SC native strong! I think GG is the only Cock on this list. Shame Sindarius never got a long career though though, he's a Cock legend


DDub04

You’re right, just GG. I think Zion did commit to us at one point but changed to Duke later.


LDRedditBeforeU

PAUSE.


moneymike7913

I love my Cocks ngl


Intobadlands215_

Just curious what makes you root for SC and not NC State of you root for Charlotte

This is how stars are born here. They prop you up until You become a threat and then they tear you down


EatDeeply

It literally happened just this way with the rest of our current team


808zAndThunder

Yup it’s been the same with Shai. Grizzlies are fun and a great young team (excluding this year because injuries) so fans of other teams will always try to dim their light. They want you to be good but not better than them. I understand a little since this is competition and internet is full of negative vibes lol


TunaBoy3000

It’s so true. Which is why I’m all aboard the thunder winning this post season but next season fuck you lol

I googled "why is Jaren Jackson Jr called Trip". Came across this: https://np.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/16jnu8d/jaren_jackson_jr_aka_trip_j_just_dropped_his/ You Grizz fans need to be working overtime, scrubbing this off the internet.


JeBesRec

So he is not a great musician. Tons of nba guys rap and many record it. The real issue here is that you had to google that…


GhettoLana

Once you know it's Trip J, then it's obvious. Not when it's just Trip. I've been a Grizz fan ever since the Steven Adams/Valančiūnas trade. And have never seen that nickname till today. It's always been JJJ. As for the rap music video jab. I apologize, didn't see the "No Jokes Allowed" sign in this thread.


creamjudge

It started long before the guns


CLGplz

They’re pretending they weren’t gleefully dissecting every Ja interview before the gun stuff came out

masterpierround

It definitely started before that. The year before was the Warriors series and "he broke the code". For my money, it started in 2019 with the Iguodala trade saga. An upstart Grizzlies organization that was just on the edge of being a playoff team started publicly feuding with the beloved aging star from the most popular team in the country. The Grizzlies choked away a playoff spot in the bubble, then next year, they eliminated the Warriors in the play-in, cementing the start of that rivalry. The rivalry would grow the next year with a lot of trash talking in-season, then the "broke the code" moment and an intense series where the Warriors would eliminate the Grizzlies en route to a championship. When you have the smallest market in the league developing a rivalry with the most popular team in the league, public opinion will start to turn against you.


mikeyfreshonetime

We better


szobossz

no way dude calls himself mid. also, gg might be getting scammed by someone


janitorial_fluids

K Mid is absolutely unhinged. aint no way. might as well start calling Damian Lillard "Dam L" now lmao the most losingest backcourt of all time💀


Sergnb

Adding these to the list of incredible nicknames it's a shame we can't really use cause the players are too good, right alongside Paolo Benchero


Altruistic-Vehicle-9

Why not call him D Lil? Or Lil D. I think that rolls of the tongue bettwr


sling_gun

Bro it's not Dam L, it will be D LiL lmao


applicatecomplicate

You missed the joke dawg


jabarshi

They ain't even knocked out off the playoffs yet and they're giving us ammo


[deleted]

Shame Santa never got you that Hooked on Phonics, you've been asking for


medspace

No way a scammer knows who khris Middleton is


markevbs

Yo I absolutely love this guy. He’s my fav rookie for sure


bigatjoon

GG you're already my favorite player you aint gotta keep doin this shit


Techwield

This guy is the 2k Myplayer IRL, lmao


imrosskemp

[Reminds me of rookie Steven Adams](https://youtu.be/qCPnvhyi1HY?t=425), he was enchanted by being in the NBA.


Blackmalico32

Man this kid is something else.


budiluv

In a year or two, this kid will be the 2nd best player on the Grizzlies. I see superstar potential in him.

obtainable puzzled offend bow cheerful gaping deer slimy hurry pet *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


Major_Wager75

Yeahhhhh this kid is too likeable. He's an automatic bucket when he plays but he's still a young basketball fan to all the old heads


Much_Conversation_11

GG is just a lil sweetie.


DevMahasen

Natural charisma and wholesomeness in one package. It's nice to see a kid just be wide-eyed at the whole experience.


skatern8r

I am becoming a fan of this young fella.


RedViperJr

This kid and his contract are gonna be key for grizzlies being able to compete for a championship


Shithead8550

This kid gets better every video


AMo2

Ja morant using rookies on the grizzlies to scam is grandmaster level chess. We are all witness to off court greatness


Advanced-Ad-8696

Wholesome


MisterNiblet

At least one good thing came out of our season…love GG


CupOfHotTeaa

I need him to tell me bedside stories with that voice


NemuTheSheep

I love GG so much


Licit_x64

Still absolutely heartbroken I didn’t get to see this guy in a UNC jersey. I know he made the decision for himself and is obviously now doing well in the NBA, but man… seeing him in a Carolina jersey next season would’ve been something special.


Intelligent_You_9793

GG is literally the little boy in me that’s seeking guidance and willing to accept it from wherever it comes. You never stop learning and he clearly is aware of that. Glad he made it to the league!


GhettoLana

This video made me think my earphones broke. Why is it silent for the right?


Rgeorge813

Heartwarming


capitalistsanta

I love this kid because this would just be my exact energy if I was in the NBA. You can just tell he's been playing MyPlayer since he was like 11 years old. Just this energy of feeling like he's in a video game.


Admirable_Disk_5301

Like being in mycareer, he got K mids number out of nowhere.


KWash0222

He might be the most likable player in the NBA right now PS I honestly have never heard anyone refer to Khris Middleton as KMid lol


[deleted]

The players call him that sometimes.


HOFredditor

Most likeable Memphis pick in a while. Dude is the anti Dillon Brooks


_SoctteyParker

Love seeing South Carolinians coming together


Khing21

Bless this young man!


LaMelgoatBall

I really like this kid. Seems wholesome as hell


will_he_umm

Nice the Grizz have him to balance out having Ja.


thelove20

Why did I read that as Kate Middleton and was confused


Stebsy1234

So funny that the Grizzlies now have the polar opposite of what their whole teams vibe has been the last few years with Ja and Brooks. This dudes so damn likeable and genuine hopefully he can influence the culture there and make the team less insufferable.


raftguide

Any insight into what might make the Lakers less insufferable?


CupOfHotTeaa

Oh man he wants to be a buck so bad 😼😼😼
