Here is an excerpt on Adam Morrison from a great new article by Grantland. Great Stuff!
"...On the court with the Clippers, Morrison has reclaimed his alpha role. He's shouting for the ball nearly every time down the floor. He gets jumpers off screens and off the dribble, tip-ins in the paint, and trips to the line. In a game against San Antonio, Morrison hits a shot and prompts guard Cory Joseph to explode. "Somebody guard him!" he screams as the Spurs head back on offense.
After we finish talking outside the locker room, Morrison shakes my hand and starts to walk away. He stops and turns. "Just don't kill me, man," he says. "I've gotten enough of that." He continues to the bus. Lakers coach Mike Brown passes and calls out, "Great game, Adam." Morrison says, "Thanks," and keeps walking."Its such a treat to see Adam coming back from the abyss like he is, heres hoping he can carve out a niche as a 6th man type with the Clippers, no reason that he couldn't come in for 20-25 minutes a night and contribute a good chunk of scoring. The only thing stopping Adam right now will be himself, if he wants this, he has it.

Thanks for the update. Sure do wish AMMA all the best. Would love to see him connect with a team and stay there, especially if it is the Clippers with Ronny.
I agree. AMMO was electrifying to watch in college. Such a rarity for someone of his size/body type to exhibit such an offensive skill set. The epic battle between Adam and JJ Reddick to determine player of the year honors in college had me excited to see what Adam could bring to the NBA. Unfortunately, his career didn't shape up the way we had all hoped.
It upsets me to think of all the ridicule Adam has faced over the years. I hope he can bring his excitement, passion, and his dynamite offense back to the NBA and prove all the doubters wrong.
Thanks for the update Josh!
