The Next One

The reason I present this video on my blog page is to show people the impact O.J. Mayo not only could have on himself, but the impact he could have on Memphis basketball and this all comes in as positive insight. O.J. Mayo plays for one of the youngest teams in the NBA. It has a nice young core and no one in the frequent starting line up that was used this season had over three years in the league under there belt. But Mayo seems years ahead of his game and just plays like a veteran. I wouldn’t take a shot at him either, but he looks pretty old too, Greg Oden too.

Mayo could be the next big thing in Memphis, only God knows how much upside and potential this kid has. He was putting his name in the record books early on in the season with names the likes of David Robinson. His 210 points in his first 10 games were up there with current active players like Allen Iverson and Shaq who’ve done it in the past. Mayo lost Rookie of the Year to Chicago’s rookie Derrick Rose by a landslide. There’s no argument for me either, and I think Rose very well deserved it. Next year will more than likely be another development season for the Grizzlies. It will be another year of experience for these young players and fans, just good luck to all the players especially O.J. Mayo. Memphis loves you!
