Welcome back, fans, to the Grizzlies Insider, where you can find the latest NBA news and analysis from Daily Memphian staffers Drew Hill, Chris Herrington and Geoff Calkins.
Sometimes it’s easy to forget the Grizzlies are just like the rest of us. Let Jaren Jackson Jr. issue a reminder and (potentially) make you feel old at the same time:
If you’re older than 21, you’ve likely been there, and we’re happy that Jackson — or “Trip J,” his rap alias — made it to the other side.
Speculation suggests (and this is merely a guess based on a previous Instagram interview Ja Morant did for his 21st birthday last month), that Don Julio 1942 was the drink of choice. Cheers!
To celebrate, the second-year player released two new songs on Soundcloud, a music streaming app, that he had been teasing since the NBA’s hiatus in March.
Teammate Justise Winslow joined Jackson in the action, releasing a song of his own titled “Black Manu.”
It’s fun to see the Grizzlies players making the most of their offseason, but wouldn’t it be a lot more fun to celebrate inside of the bubble?
OK, maybe not.
