The Charlotte Hornets and Memphis Grizzlies are two of the most promising young teams in the NBA today.
Between LaMelo Ball and Ja Morant, both squads have a level of young talent that few others around the league can match. Barring something crazy happening, Charlotte and Memphis have a lot to be excited about for the foreseeable future.
The Hornets’ and Grizzlies’ talent isn’t just limited to players, though. There are also some very promising reporters covering both teams. And it just so happened that two in particular went viral this week.
It all started with a simple tweet:

Then came the follow-up:

From there, the reactions to those two messages came in like a tidal wave.
NBA Twitter never disappoints:

While the Grizzlies ultimately ended up dominating the Hornets on Friday night, fans nevertheless got to see a great show both on and off the court.
Obviously Charlotte has experienced some controversy in recent weeks. Memphis too has found itself in the headlines for some off-the-court stuff. That’s just the nature of how things work in this day age.

But big picture – the Hornets and Grizzlies are looking strong going forward.
Will either team ultimately be able to win a championship in the foreseeable future?
Time will tell.
