Marcus Morris makes a wild NSFW Grizzlies comment on First Take

The NBA playoffs have finally arrived, and on networks like ESPN that means that the craziness of takes can ensue on programs like First Take. While it's usually Stephen A. Smith delivering the wild comments, this time it was a former NBA player that had social media talking about him.

Marcus Morris had a long NBA career that included stops with eight different teams, including the Boston Celtics, New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers. Now that he's not playing any longer, he's got the opportunity to sit back and watch the games, particularly the Memphis Grizzlies, who Morris is particularly enamored with.

"I really like the Grizzlies. The YNs, they're really coming to play." 😅
