Is Grizzlies’ Ty Jerome the next Steve Nash? Bill Simmons wants to know

If you squint hard enough, Ty Jerome looks like a two-time MVP leading a high-octane offense. The Memphis Grizzlies suffered their first defeat after falling to the New Orleans Pelicans by a point in overtime, 135-134, at FedExForum on Monday. Still, Jerome was quite impressive, delivering another prolific performance. Jerome exploded for 40 points on 14-of-22 shooting, including 5-of-6 from three-point range in 37 minutes. He added five rebounds, five assists, and two steals. The Ringer’s Bill Simmons could not help but compare the 29-year-old guard to Steve Nash.
