Alright, let’s gab about this Ja Morant fella and his 2K24 rating, ya know, that basketball video game the young’uns are always yappin’ about. I ain’t no expert, mind you, but I hear things, and I see things, and I can tell ya a thing or two.
So, this Ja Morant, he’s a real firecracker on the court, always jumpin’ and zoomin’ around. Folks say he’s got that “it” factor, whatever that means. In this 2K24 game, they give him a 92 overall rating. Now, that sounds mighty high to me, almost as high as the corn in July, if you catch my drift. They say he’s the best player on that Grizzlies team, and the whole team itself gets a 96 rating, which is higher. Seems they got a whole bunch of good players over there, more than a hen has eggs in the spring.
- Ja Morant: 92 OVR
- Memphis Grizzlies: 96 OVR
They’re sayin’ this 92 rating ain’t nothin’ new. He’s been up there in the past couple of games too, same kinda number, give or take. But, and this is a big but, like a cow in the pasture, there’s this other young fella, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander from Oklahoma City, who got a higher rating this year. Now, I ain’t never heard of him before, but the young’uns say he’s somethin’ special. Seems like these youngsters are always comin’ up, tryin’ to take the old-timers’ spots. It’s the way of the world, I reckon, like the seasons changin’.
This here 2K game, it’s a big deal, ya know? Kids spend all their time fiddlin’ with them controllers, makin’ their players run up and down the court. They get all worked up about these ratings, arguin’ ’til the cows come home about who’s better and who’s not. It’s like watchin’ a bunch of roosters in a henhouse, all puffed up and ready to fight.
I heard tell that the lowest rating they ever gave a player was a 40. Can you believe that? A 40! That’s like tryin’ to plow a field with a spoon. They said it was some fella named Brian Scalabrine, played for the Chicago Bulls a while back. They called him the “White Mamba,” which sounds kinda silly to me. A snake’s a snake, no matter what color it is. Poor fella, must not have been too good at the basketball, or maybe the game just didn’t like him. Who knows?
Anyway, back to Ja Morant. A 92 rating, that’s somethin’ to be proud of. It means he’s one of the best in the game, one of the top dogs. But he’s gotta watch out for them young fellas comin’ up behind him, like that Shai fella. They’re hungry and they’re quick, and they’re tryin’ to take his spot. It’s like a bunch of dogs fightin’ over a bone.
So, what does this 92 rating mean in the game? Well, it means he’s gonna be good at shootin’, dribblin’, passin’, and all that other basketball stuff. He’ll be able to make those fancy moves and score a lot of points. He’ll be a real handful for the other team, that’s for sure. The kids who pick him on their team, they’ll be happy as pigs in mud.
Now, I don’t know much about these video games, but I do know a thing or two about hard work and dedication. And I reckon this Ja Morant fella must have put in a lot of both to get that 92 rating. He’s gotta be practicin’ all the time, runnin’ and jumpin’ and shootin’ ’til his legs are sore and his arms are tired. It ain’t easy bein’ the best, ya know. It takes sweat and tears and a whole lotta heart.
And speaking of heart, that’s somethin’ you can’t put a number on. A player can have all the talent in the world, but if he ain’t got no heart, he ain’t gonna amount to much. I don’t know Ja Morant personally, but from what I hear, he’s got plenty of heart. He plays hard, he plays tough, and he never gives up. And that’s somethin’ you gotta admire, whether you’re talkin’ about basketball or just plain life.
So, there you have it, my two cents on this Ja Morant fella and his 2K24 rating. He’s a good player, got a high rating, and seems to have a good head on his shoulders. But he’s gotta keep workin’ hard if he wants to stay on top. Because in this world, there’s always someone comin’ up behind you, tryin’ to take your place. It’s just the way it is. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on the chickens.
