Bill Simmons Believes The Memphis Grizzlies Have The Best Backcourt In The NBA
Equipped with last season’s Most Improved Player of the Year in Ja Morant and one of the game’s best three-point shooters in Desmond Bane, the Memphis Grizzlies form a dynamic point guard and shooting guard combination in the NBA.
With Morant and Bane leading their backcourt, the Grizzlies haven’t missed a beat and have been playing with a lot of fire as the team sits third place in the Western Conference standing with a 9-4 record.
Memphis’ backcourt has proven to be a solid recipe for their success. Now, well-known basketball analyst Bill Simmons exclaimed that Morant and Bane are currently the best backcourt in the NBA.
“I think Ja and Bane have the torch now for best backcourt. I think they have the championship belts… Just day-to-day reliability, talent, performance. I feel like they have the torch.”
