Let Me Tell Y'all the Possibility of Angel Reese Dominating in the WNBA!

Angel Reese

Written by Alberta Parish

The reason Angel Reese could become a dominant player in the WNBA is the young lady has what is called the clutch gene. Prior to  LSU vs. Virginia Tech's game on November 30th, I was watching Reese during shootaround. She didn't seem to be in topnotch basketball condition. However, she was laser focused. She was not smiling a lot. She looked like she was ready to go, and take control, and dominate the game on both ends of the floor. And she was working harder than all the opposing players on the floor. The Tigers dominated the offense in all four quarters. Her and Flau'jae were back to their usual selves. I saw two hungry players that maybe felt they had to redeem themselves due to the recent events, which saw Reese benched for a week and away from the team.

Reese definitely has the clutch gene, which more than likely will make her a dominant post player in the WNBA. I'm not saying the young lady has an overall game. I'm not saying she won't need some improvement in the post. But there are certain players that innately has the clutch gene, and Reese is one. Because Reese responds very well under pressure, it has helped her to develop this "clutch" gene over a lengthy period of time. I can name a few other players with the "clutch" gene. Caitlin Clark of Iowa is one. Her teammate Kate Martin definitely has the clutch gene. 

Listen. I'm not an LSU fan. I'm not an Angel Reese fan. I'm not a Flau'jae Johnson fan. I'm not a Kim Mulkey fan. But now, I am a fan of women's basketball, and I was simply observing the shootaround prior to LSU vs. Virginia Tech when I saw it clearly. Angel Reese may not be drafted in the 1st round. But she will be drafted in one of the other rounds, if the WNBA is her career path. I'm not saying Reese will be a dominant player in her first year in the WNBA, but she could become a dominant player because of that clutch gene.

The "Mamba" of Women's Basketball Caitlin Clark Is Back!

Written by Alberta Parish


The "Mamba" of women's basketball Caitlin Clark is back! The Hawkeyes' regular season is set to begin November 6th against Fairleigh Dickinson University. Going into the regular season feels a bit different for me. This will be my first time watching the beginning season of college women's basketball, as I hadn't watched an entire season of college women's hoops in damn near 10 years. Probably more. 

Watching videos of the Hawkeyes' 2022-2023 season has been inspirational. I was in a very dark space and dealing with a whole bunch of bullcrap at the time when I first watched the title game on April 17, 2023. Now, I don't care about the NBA! Sorry, guys. I care about the WNBA and college women's basketball. It will be up to women to help grow women's sports and to help drum up interests in the careers of women athletes. I'm not a well-known columnist or writer. However, people do read my blogs, and I can tell you that many people from France, Finland, the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, and of course, the United States have read my blogs. The Lady Hawkeyes got fans all over the world.

The "Mamba" Kobe Bryant was something special. But women's basketball has a new "Mamba," and her name is Caitlin Clark. The season that we're about to experience in women's basketball is probably going to be one of the greatest seasons in all of women's sports. I believe it. I have faith in this team...faith in what they can accomplish. Let's go, Hawkeyes!

Actor Jim Caviezel Appears To Be Shaken Up Following His New Film SOUND OF FREEDOM

 Written by Alberta Parish



When someone has come face to face with pure malevolency, it changes them. Learning how to come to grips with it is what's most challenging to many people. Even then, you'll never really get a pure understanding of the nature of unadulterated pure evil.

In Sound of Freedom, the character played by Jim Caviezel, crosses a point in his life where he either confronts the evils of child sex trafficking that plagues our culture and society. Or he sweeps it under a rug like much of American society. 

The actor that plays the real life hero Tim Ballard appears to be shaken up by the evils that he himself have witnessed in the world of child sex trafficking and exploitation.

Having played the controversial historical figure known as Jesus in The Passion of the Christ, Jim Caviezel is no stranger to the face of evil. However, during recent interviews in which he promoted his new film, whenever I've peered into this man's eyes, something's definitely different. Something has changed. He no longer sees the world the same way he once has.

There are certain things I wish I could unsee, because forever it is burned into my subconscious mind. Once you see pure malevolency, you can't unsee it. Therefore, many people seek psychotherapy to cope with the trauma and malevolency they've witnessed. Many people end up on medication. Many people even become suicidal. 

There are people in the world today that does not think or act like regular humans. These individuals have allowed dark matter to enter them or they have cultivated the darkness that was already within them from, perhaps, their childhood.

Many psychologists and psychotherapists who work with child psychopaths and children with narcissistic personality disorders know that there is a high potential for these children to grow up and become serial killers. Whatever hypersexualized activities they were exposed or overexposed to, perhaps, as children tends to be the driving factor behind the crimes they may later commit in the future against children. Many pedophiles are psychopaths.

The difference that separates a psychopath from a sociopath is empathy. One completely lacks empathy while the other has very little empathy for others. The empathy chip is completely missing from the psychopath, which is why many who harm children don't see anything wrong about what they've done. After raping a child, they don't see anything wrong. They don't care how it impacts society or families or communities. In his mind, the pedophile looks at a child, and they don't see that a child can never consent to sex. They see the child as a willing participant in their own fucked up fantasies that they have projected onto the child.

In the state of Georgia, the age of consent is 16. I think the age of consent should be raised to the age of 18, because of the predatory nature of many 30, 40, and 50-year-olds that purposely seek out teenage girls below the age of 18. Many of the predatory men are looking for some sort of sexual fulfillment that they cannot get from women closer to their age because, perhaps, they're not sexually aroused or attracted to women closer to their age. They may not get sexual arousal from women closer to their age, so they seek out teenage girls below the age of 18. 

My grandmother's generation was forced into holy matrimony at very young ages like 15, 14, 13. Charlie Chaplin married a teenager who was 18 when he was in his early 50s. Elvis Presley was 25 when he married Priscilla at the age of 14. Baby Boomers were having children at 13 years of age by adult men. Children cannot consent to sex, and every adult knows this whether their pedophile mentality have justified it or not.

If we did not have current laws on the books regarding the age of consent, which is 16 in the majority of the States, we would be overrun by pedophiles marrying underaged girls!

We know the barbarism that currently exists in Islamic countries. In fact, those countries are overrun with child marriage and child slavery including sex trafficking of minors.

Jim Caviezel's life has been forever altered by the images that are burned into his subconscious mind. But I am reminded in the scriptures that God won't put upon us anymore than we can bear. The Supreme Being knew that Caviezel could bear this burden and go through it and come out on the other side victorious. I believe Caviezel knows that he has a rough road ahead of him because people are running scared in the world of child sex trafficking due to his new film, Sound of Freedom. May this film become a great commercial success, and change the hearts and minds of good people and provoke us to act now in the interest of protecting children from these predatory beasts that prey upon them. Whether you have children or not, it is our responsibility to protect children. If we do not protect them, who will? We have the resources to protect children, so how come child trafficking has become a billion-dollar industry? Because good people have sat back and did nothing to stop it from growing and spreading. However, if we all do our part to shed light upon the dark world of child sex trafficking, and not just sit back and act like you don't see it, then, perhaps, changes will begin to take form and rip out the guts of this global network. This is a true cause to join and push.

As a survivor of childhood molestation, I cannot even fathom what small kids and teenagers who are forced into the sale and trade for sex is even going through on a regular daily basis. But I can empathize. And Sound of Freedom is already having an impact on me although I have yet to see the film, because I'm already losing sleep over it. 

Jim Caviezel is a very brave man. I don't even know if I could ever have put myself in the middle of operations to bring down child sex trafficking organizations, and it's not because I'm fearful for my life. It's because I might literally go insane if I were ever to see the things Caviezel has seen with his own two eyes. 

I'm really in shock, and I haven't even seen the film yet. But I've seen quite a few interviews, and it is horrifying the things that I have heard. All I can say is go purchase a ticket, and support this movement to end this humanitarian crisis of child sex trafficking, and be ready to possibly have a few sleepless nights.

This Independence Day, Let Us Celebrate with a New Purpose in the Pursuit of Life, Liberty & Happiness

July 4, 2023

Written by Alberta Parish

In recent years, I didn't hold the 4th of July Independence Day in high regard. However, in light of the current state of our union, the 4th of July has significantly taken on special meaning for me. A revolution was fought upon our nation's shores almost three hundred years ago, which formed an independent and sovereign nation with constitutional laws of governance. Almost a hundred years later, the Emancipation Proclamation and 13th Amendment to the Constitution would be enacted and become the law of the land, borne of a revolution. Without this revolution, there would've been no Emancipation Proclamation or 13th Amendment. 

Today, I celebrate Independence Day for the values that were put forth, which separated our nation from the monarchies that controlled Europe. I celebrate Independence Day also for the values that it espouses, which include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Although our new enemies are not coming from across the seas in ships wearing red coats and long white trousers, the enemy is moving to demolish the Constitution and the principles upon which a revolution was fought on these same shores that once guaranteed to every citizen life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

On July 4, 1776, every citizen knew the true meaning of independence from Great Britain. The Second Continental Congress declared that the 13 colonies were no longer subject to the English Crown under King George III, and thus, the colonies were sovereign, and free to govern themselves. No longer under British control, the colonies grew what later became the United States of America. 

Borne of a revolution, a nation was forged. This nation, although relatively new, had become the greatest this planet had ever seen. Now, this great nation has come under threat by enemies from within its borders, occupying seats of power and prestige. Enemies that don't want to see this nation remain sovereign and independent because of their own selfish greed.

Today, I celebrate Independence Day to remind our enemies that although they may have weakened this once powerful nation, they have not weakened the spirit of the nation. Our light, once shining bright as a beacon for others, may have dimmed but it will not be forgotten. Our enemies may have undermined its Constitution, but they haven't destroyed this nation's core values and beliefs.

Any leader that would be so foolish as to think American exceptionalism is a thing of the past is quite possibly an enemy of the people of this nation and should be wiped from our history book and forgotten like a bad memory.

Today, I celebrate Independence Day because I am a part of the experience of this nation - good or bad or in-between. I celebrate, because although my complaints are many, I can revel in the fact that the Emancipation Proclamation and 13th Amendment gave me whatever life I have today - good or bad or in-between.

Without the revolution, there would be no nation. Without the revolution, there would be no America. Without the revolution, there would be no Me.

The Historical Jesus

Written By Alberta Parish

On Saturday, July 1, I enjoyed a panel discussion on the historical Yeshua versus the Christ of faith. All the questions posed were good questions. Some I was able to answer with clarity and some I was not. However, each question provoked deep thought. We don't all know everything. Sometimes, we thought we knew what we knew maybe a year ago, but since then, the answer we thought we knew may have evolved. Thus, we are forever evolving in our knowledge and understanding of life, of our environment, the rules and constraints that bind us, and our spiritual journeys.

Although the Christ of faith is the universal concept of a messiah-like figure who represents all of Christendom in its current form, it took early church leaders several centuries to make up their minds which version of the Messiah concept they'd decide upon and put into canonical scripture, and other versions of the New Testament. The earliest records on the Christ of faith are the Pauline epistles, thirteen of which were dated between 60 and 67 AD. In addition, there were other epistles written some 75 years after the death of Paul, which were falsely attributed to him. The gospel according to Mark, who was a travelling companion of Paul and cousin of Barnabas, was written somewhere in between Paul's epistles. Dated sometime after 60 AD, Mark is the earliest of the Four Gospels. Alongside Mark, most of Paul's epistles tell the story of the earliest record on  the Messiah whom historians have come to know as Yeshua, which is an Aramaic translation of Yehoshua. Yehoshua is rendered Jeshua/Joshua. By the time of the Greek occupation of Palestine, the Greek version of the name Yeshua spelled J-E-S-U-S today was already a common name in the ancient world.

All Four Gospels contain contradictions, but they all settle upon a messiah-like figure called Jesus who lived in ancient Palestine, hailed from Nazareth of Galilee, had siblings, was a teacher of the law & commandments, taught in the synagogues on the Sabbath, observed the holy days of his people, was a healer, championed the poor and needy, was accused of sedition by the Romans, and crucified. The Christ of faith was resurrected from the dead and was seen by many after his resurrection. After 40 days, he ascends into the heavens with the promise that he'd return as both King of kings and Lord of lords.

The Jesus of history was also a teacher who started a new religion. His brother James became the head of the church at Jerusalem after his death. It is unanimous among biblical scholars and historians that the Jesus of history was a healer and miracle worker. Jesus also opposed the ruling class and their oppression of the poor. He hung around criminals. Like the Christ of faith, the Jesus of history also observed the Sabbath and other holy days. The Pharisees and Sadducees also became jealous of his fame. The Romans also took notice, and he was later accused him of sedition and of declaring himself a leader of his people. He was crucified by the government because they saw him as a potential enemy of Rome and perhaps would lead an uprising against them. In fact, a leader of the Zealots who came from the same countryside as Yeshua, whose name was Judas, was crucified in 6 AD for leading a tax revolt against the Romans. Finally in 66 AD, the Zealots waged war against the Roman occupation of Palestine.

All we really have are the records of Paul, the gospel writers, Pliny's writings concerning the early Christians, Josephus' writings, and Tacitus as empirical evidence. However, we are indeed absent of archaeological findings on the historical Jesus.

Pliny, when writing to the emperor Trajan (112 AD), asked for help on dealing with the early Christian community, some of whom he put on trial and later executed. During that time, the Christian religion was at conflict with the old Roman religion. The Romans weren't thrilled about this new god known as Christos that upstaged their ancient gods and goddesses. Prior to Yeshua, there were other messiah-like figures, which could be considered precursors to the New Testament Messiah such as Serapis, Mithras, even Julius Caesar who was deified after his assassination in 44 BC, and worshiped throughout the Roman world.

For years, skeptics have asserted that Tacitus' passage in his work, The Annals concerning Christus, was a Christian interpolation. But would Christians have described Christ's resurrection from the dead as a superstition that broke first in Judea but also found its way to Rome? According to The Annals 15.44, Tacitus wrote, "But all human efforts, all the lavish gifts of the emperor, and the propitiations of the gods, did not banish the sinister belief that the conflagration was the result of an order. Consequently, to get rid of the report, Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judæa, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their centre and become popular. Accordingly, an arrest was first made of all who pleaded guilty; then, upon their information, an immense multitude was convicted, not so much of the crime of firing the city, as of hatred against mankind."

Many people don't believe that Yeshua/Jesus existed historically based upon zero archaeological findings. However, we have the earliest writings on the historical Yeshua, which suggest that someone fitting that description contained in the Tacitus passage, Josephus' writings titled, The Antiquities of the Jews, and other works, existed in First Century Palestine. We also have 2,000 year-old records by the ancient Buddhists kept by the Tibetans on what is alleged to be the missing years of Jesus from the Four Gospels when he was between the ages of 17 and 29. According to The Lost Years of Jesus written by Elizabeth Clare Prophet, the Tibetans claim that Yeshua also known as Saint Issa travelled to India and the Himalayas, and was taught the Vedas by the Brahmin priests. He was both student and teacher who also taught the Vedas to the lower caste. But soon, Saint Issa would butt heads with the Brahmin priests because he taught the Vedas to the lower caste. The legend of Saint Issa continued to grow from there. He returned to Palestine and began his ministry shortly after. He gained fame rather quickly and because he was well-known and popular among the masses, the ruling class began to take notice and they sought to have him speak to them. They took notice of his ability to draw huge crowds. After all, Yeshua was a man of the people, and the Roman rulers that occupied his country became afraid. This is when they sought to take his life. He was later accused of sedition and crucified.

Everywhere in the world, the Christ of faith is represented within each culture. There's the Hindu Jesus. Chinese Jesus. Indian Jesus. But the historical Jesus is a figure most people don't know about. It would appear that the historical Jesus was not really a pacifier. He opposed the Romans' oppression of his people. He would be the equivalent of a humanitarian had he lived today versus the ancient world.

The Christ of faith is what much of the known world knows. But the Jesus of history still remains a mystery to many, even many Christians. If Christ was a mere mortal and never divine, why can't we have faith in him still? The Christ of the New Testament is the same person as the Jesus of history. But very little is known of the personal life of the Jesus of history.

The Game of LIFE Is Your Greatest Game That Will Ever Be Played

Written by Alberta Parish

It is always a treasure and privilege when you can do exactly what it is that you love to do and preferably make a lot of money doing it. Sometimes, people end up in life doing things they don't want to do. But if you can take whatever talent or skills and use it in ways that uplift and influence others, then you probably have already exceeded expectations. 

The game that is called LIFE is probably the greatest game that will ever be played. In the game of life as in sports, there's winners and losers. Now, this doesn't mean losing is always negative. Sometimes, you lose one thing and gain something else in the process that is far greater than the loss. 

By losing something very dear to me, I have gained a greater love and understanding for people. Until you lose something that is irreplaceable is when you find yourself. You find who you are at the very core of your being.

When you look at yourself in the mirror, who do see in the mirror staring back at you? Many people go through life without purpose. Many have all kinds of struggles with alcohol and drug addictions. Many don't even know if they're going to wake up alive after their latest alcohol and drug binge. But what keeps you alive is the will to live. Dying can be easy, even effortless for some people. It is living with yourself and detrimental choices you've made is what's difficult for some.

The choice to do good to others. The choice to be a kind soul. The choice to not hate. These are all choices I made a while ago. Because I made these choices, I no longer see the quote on quote "White Guy" as threatening to my survival in America. The anger and rage I felt for so long just dissipated as if it was never there.  

It reminds me of the 1998 drama film, American History X. The lead character played by Edward Norton was a neo-Nazi leader who had killed a black man and ended up in prison where he was raped by one of his own while in the shower area. Over time, he developed a change of heart and earned early release from prison. He went back home to his family, and recognized his younger brother already under neo-Nazi indoctrination who was later killed by a black teen and classmate. The story was set in Long Beach, California. This may have been based on a true story. He had a change of heart while in prison serving time for manslaughter.

Although I've never been behind bars or been a part of any black identity extremist group, I recognize the same energy that this neo-Nazi leader had in the film American History X was the same energy I was becoming all too acquainted with by way of social media and my association with the conscious community. I didn't dive off the cliff but I went to the edge and peeked over. 

When it comes to hatred, there are no winners. The way that race relations have played out in this year alone not only in politics but also in sports is a huge problem because while politics have always been divisive, sports is meant to unify us across all socio-economic backgrounds, nationalities and ethnicities.

I guess we all can bitch about how unfair the world is but can you also be honest about yourself? 

The way that some people go through life always at odds, always terrified of what might happen, and always in fighter mode is the quickest way to block out whatever good thing could present itself to them in their lives. Don't ever give up the opportunity to be happy. You know how many people wish they were happy with themselves? They wish when they look at themselves in the mirror, they can be proud of the face staring back at them.

Just like many, I'm figuring out the game called LIFE, and I don't always get it right. Sometimes, I mess up. I am sometimes my own worst enemy. But I am working on that.  

I don't think anything I've learned in my first 20 years of life could've prepared me for some of the situations in which I found myself. I had a couple good things work in my favor to get me through some of these tough times, which were my mother and the church. More specifically, my pastor. No matter what I did, my mother and pastor never turned their backs on me. Unconditional love is not something that comes about every day for everybody. One of the worst things you could ever do to the human spirit is love that person on some condition that he or she must meet your standards or else you won't love them. Did you ever really love them at all? Definitely don't love a man or woman who's whipping your ass, or being verbally, and/or emotionally abusive to you. But real love doesn't come with condition. You either love unconditionally or you don't.

The Mind Is Most People's Biggest Battlefield

Written by Alberta Parish

Many people spend their entire life living in fear. When you can learn how to relinquish fear, you can really move obstacles from your path. You can find solace in the things that others take for granted. We all have an innate ability to fight for our own survival. Sometimes, in that process, we run across the thing that scares us the most. None of us are born with bravery but bravery can begin to develop in children as early as 1 year of age. Bravery like any other human emotion can be cultivated. Fear can also be cultivated.

No matter what I thought or believed about myself, I never could've predicted the places I'd end up, the people I'd meet along the journey, and the outcome all of this brings. I'm thankful for each life experience because in them valuable lessons were taught. You cannot overlook even the most inconsequential elements that shape and define who we are as a human family. 

The thing that cripples most people is fear of the unknown. Many people walk around unable to fully enjoy their life because of fear. Really, fear has to come from a dark energy because it's not something that a loving Supreme Being who we call God would produce in humans. Fear of death, fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of others all works against humans.

We are forever at war internally within ourselves, trying to cultivate the good within us over the bad. The evil within has to be subdued daily, so that the good can prevail and dominate. You ever seen someone who's constantly fearmongering or attempting to cause widespread panic or despair? Every time you turn on your social media or TV, you are bombarded with talk of Chinese aggression toward her neighbors or Russian advancement in Ukraine. Anything that causes widespread panic and generates fear. 

Although wars of aggression doesn't just come about overnight, it is usually a long process before the first missile attack is ever launched. But why is this conflict between Russia and Ukraine still waging? Why are our taxpayers still funding this ethnic cleansing? What kind of behind-the-closed door deal has President Biden made with the President of Ukraine? Whatever the public has been force-fed to think about this conflict is the complete opposite. They lie to us using the art of doublespeak in mainstream media, something the Nazis mastered in the 1930s, which the CIA later taught to its agents.

The amount of fear that mainstream media generate is enough to cause heart failure in some. We are constantly bombarded with negative news 24/7. Next week, it'll be the economy and inflation. The week after, it'll be climate change. The fear of losing it all is what keeps many rich people up at night. No matter how safe you were, there is always that one anomaly. We cannot control the future. But we can control the environment and what we allow in our environment. We can even control our thoughts.

Probably, the biggest battle you'll ever see is the battle of your own mind. You can't get away from it. You can't ignore it. You can't reason with it. The brain is the most powerful organ in the human body. It can wield you to life or it can turn on you. 

When you live in your head mostly, there's always going to be some doubt, fear, or insecurities that seemingly creeps in from out of nowhere. These anomalies. You don't even know how the fuck they got there. All you know it's there, and now you must deal with it. These are what I call dark energies/dark imaginings. We all deal with these anomalies. In the way most people respond to these anomalies is the determining factor, which separates a strong mind from a not-so-strong mind. And believe me, there are many who crack under these anomalies.

The best way I know how to tell you to survive these dark imaginings is not to cater to these thoughts. You don't ever want to give these thoughts any power to drain your life force. Fear of death, fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of people: these are not from the human soul. These dark imaginings come from someplace else. The human soul is actually quite lovely when cultivated with goodness.

The Summer Blockbuster "Sound of Freedom" Is Definitely A Must-See

June 22, 2023

Written by Alberta Parish

The much anticipated blockbuster film of the summer, "Sound of Freedom" will hit theaters around the country on Independence Day, July 4. And it will definitely be a tearjerker. 

Anyone who's read my work over the years knows I've written extensively on global child trafficking. Thousands of children go missing in this country alone each year only to end up victims of satanic sacrifices, in prostitution rings, and sex dungeons. It is the most lucrative industry the world has possibly ever known next to prostitution.

It is incumbent upon humanity that this humanitarian crisis of exploiting young children comes to an end. I think it is more child slaves today than in ancient times. We know these ancient cultures like the Romans who would take child slaves and have sex with them because they were considered property there only for the sole pleasure of their masters.

Today, this network of child trafficking involves many different entities from your Jeffrey Epstein types to the regular Joe Blow. There's just as many female child traffickers as their male counterparts. These people are highly sophisticated. They're often well insulated and protected unless somehow they find themselves in a precarious situation like Jeffrey Epstein did in 2019 while he was awaiting trial. 

To this very day, I cannot dispel that perhaps his suicide inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan was not really a suicide but a homicide made to look like he'd hung himself.

There are too many moving parts here for this man to have ended up being the lone ranger in addition to his former girlfriend, Ghislane Maxwell, who was found guilty of child sex trafficking in 2021. Maxwell is currently serving time in a federal correctional institution in Florida.

The world of sex trafficking is a very dark place. To children that are caught up in their web, they are monsters. To the rest of us adults, these monsters look like normal human beings. Some even look harmless. There are so many stories from those who did manage to survive child trafficking about how they were forced to have sex with politicians and world leaders, leaders of industries, and other famous people. Children cannot consent to sex period! Any adult knows that children cannot consent. We must do our part to protect children from monsters.

Sound of Freedom is a must-see film for all ages.

Would Ja Morant Be Better Off Playing On Another NBA Team like the Miami Heat?

Written by Alberta Parish


The relationship between the Memphis Grizzlies and Ja Morant may be coming to an end much sooner rather than later. In the midst of these storms that Ja Morant and his team is currently facing, something crossed my mind and, that is, I don't think Ja Morant wants to play for the Grizzlies. 

Former Boston Celtic Kendrick Perkins recently said "the Miami Heat is the appropriate team for someone like Morant and he should consider moving there." I agree with Perkins. Ja Morant's talent would be better served in a market like Miami.

I'm a Miami native currently residing in Atlanta, and would love to see the Heat win an NBA title with Jimmy Butler still playing on the team.

Following Morant's recent suspension for 25 games, the most poignant statement he made was when he said that he is spending the offseason and the suspension continuing to work on his own mental health and decision making.

Ja Morant gets it. He knows what he has to do. But I still believe Morant's talent would be better served in a market like Miami.

I admire Ja Morant as a player. I think he's worked hard to get where he is today. And I believe he's going to come back to the game and dominate next year.

I hate to see a talent like Ja Morant go to waste playing for a team that he may feel is the wrong fit for him. I could be wrong. I'm not God. I don't know what's going through a person's mind on a regular. Only Morant can solve his current problems. And that's all I got to say on the matter.

The End
