I asked Tevin Brown (@original_tev10) about playing with Ja Morant in college, the support he gets from #MurrayState and back home in Alabama, and if he likes wearing the same colors with the #Pacers.

Ja Morant left a massive tip for the waitress that served him, but didn’t recognize him.
Then, the waitress wanted to know more about the generous customer, who reminded her of a very well-known athlete & an interesting exchange followed
