Description

In this gripping episode of The Crossover, hosts 10 Day Tony and former NBA veteran Keyon Dooling break down the chaos surrounding Ja Morant’s suspension and what’s really happening inside the Memphis Grizzlies organization. The conversation explores how a clash of philosophies between Morant and the new coaching staff has fractured the locker room, why the team’s leadership structure has collapsed, and how the absence of veteran voices has left one of the NBA’s brightest young stars without direction.Keyon pulls from his own experiences to reveal how coaching conflicts, culture shifts, and lack of mentorship can derail a franchise. The hosts question whether Morant can recover in Memphis or if a change of scenery is the only way to revive his career and restore his reputation.The discussion widens across the league, touching on Zion Williamson’s falling trade value and the dysfunction in New Orleans, Joel Embiid’s durability concerns in Philadelphia, and the Oklahoma City Thunder’s 7–0 start behind the dominance of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the rise of Chet Holmgren. From locker-room accountability to player development and team culture, this episode examines how success and failure in the NBA often come down to leadership.The Crossover delivers authentic, intelligent, and unfiltered basketball talk that connects competition, controversy, and culture — giving fans a true look inside the modern NBA.03:00 – Inside the Grizzlies locker room: coaching tension and culture clash08:00 – Why Ja Morant needs veteran leadership and mentorship12:00 – Zion Williamson’s trade value crash and Pelicans dysfunction19:00 – Joel Embiid’s health, leadership, and the Sixers’ future25:00 – OKC Thunder’s 7–0 start, SGA’s MVP run, and Chet Holmgren’s emergence31:00 – NBA players on safety, family, and protecting their homes33:30 – Closing thoughts and next guest preview_____________________________________The Crossover Show: https://www.instagram.com/thecrossovershow_Keyon Dooling: https://www.instagram.com/keyondooling/10 Day Tony: https://www.instagram.com/10daytony_____________________________________Produced by Beyond Media Group: https://www.instagram.com/beyond_mediagroup_____________________________________Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1j1r7ecaynlUSLPUu4SmM8?si=d558658fe9e24cb2Listen on Youtube: https://youtube.com/@beyond.the.narrative?si=s2K_EHb4Tk1B0k9EListen on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-the-narrative/id1778065123_____________________________________#TheCrossover #NBAPodcast #JaMorant #MemphisGrizzlies #ZionWilliamson #JoelEmbiid #OKCThunder #BeyondMediaSports
