I have zero recollection of Markieff Morris playing for the Lakers

[ElJorge]

Was randomly scrolling ESPN bball articles and saw that he had been re-signed by the Mavs. Okay neat. But then saw this part:

Morris has averaged 10.3 points and 4.9 rebounds in 776 career regular-season games. He played all 21 postseason games for the Los Angeles Lakers when they won the title in the 2020 playoff bubble.

Dafuq? I can’t remember that dude on the Lakers for the life of me.

I don’t remember him either. I remember Dwight, Javale, Rondo, and even JR Smith. But Markeiff Morris?

Is this one of those Mandela Effect thingies?

He was on the Cavs for awhile, I think

Keef was one of the unsung heroes of that title team. He could stand up against post 5s defensively allowing AD to roam and he could space as a 4 allowing javale and Howard to roll, consummate role player fit. I think he and Marcus are a great thought exercise for value. Marcus clearly being the “better” player while never achieving anything with PG and Kawhi because he wanted to get his shots while Keef won a championship being an important role player on a championship team.

Excellent take
