I know everybody has a podcast these days when everybody doesn’t really need to have a podcast these days, but can we please get Tee Morant and Karl-Anthony Towns Sr. on a podcast or simulcast together or something?
These two just make magic happen when they talk, man. It’s pretty incredible.
Ja Morant’s dad and Karl-Anthony Towns’ dad have had a friendly back-and-forth going since game 1 of the Timberwolves-Grizzlies series and it has just been the best.
They’re literally getting up to go at each other in the middle of the game like they’re still AAU basketball dads. Except it’s the NBA. It’s amazing.
It all started during game 1 when Tee Morant told ESPN’s cameras “we ain’t ducking no smoke. Memphis, Memphis, Memphis,” after jawing with Karl-Anthony Towns Sr.
Now, the two are back at it again, but this time they’re doing sideline interviews with NBA TV’s Chris Haynes while talking perfect smack.

Towns Sr. said “they get a little lead, now they want to talk,” to which Morant responded “we gave y’all that first win so y’all would feel like you in the playoffs,” and, quite frankly, this is perfect.
They’ve even got a friendly wager placed on the series. If the Grizzlies win, Towns has to wear a Morant jersey. If the Timberwolves win, Morant has to wear a Towns jersey. Either way, we all win.
Listen. Here is what I’m proposing. Let’s just mic these two up and put them on an NSFW simulcast so they can talk unfiltered trash to everyone. If we can sit for hours and listen to Peyton and Eli Manning talk about whatever, we can almost certainly listen to these two, right? Right. Somebody pull some strings and make this happen.
It’s a layup. The people absolutely love this trash-talk between the two of them and I can’t blame them.
