Brandon Ingram of the New Orleans Pelicans is becoming one of the most interesting and exciting players in the NBA.
For years he’s sneakily been a great player who has attracted considerable attention but he’s really found even more fame and praise while working in New Orleans.
Ingram has been playing with a renewed sense of drive and stamina and complete skill as if he lives and breathes basketball.
That’s because he really does.

Ingram opened up about how all he thinks of is basketball.
He discussed how he only watches basketball highlights while at home, typically of icons such as Michael Jordan.
“If I’m going home, I’m just watching basketball,” Ingram said.
“I don’t wanna watch anything else,” he added.
Whatever he’s doing, it’s working because Ingram may soon be an All-Star again and one of the most beloved NBA players alive.
Ingram In The Mix
Ingram is one of the best players on a team full of terrific stars.
In 2021-22, he put up 22.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 5.6 assists.
In the absence of Zion Williamson, Ingram became the team’s go-to leader and was more than ready to take on that challenge.
However, with Williamson coming back in the new season, Ingram might be able to do even more with a bit of the pressure taken off his shoulders and a more cohesive team around him.
Ingram is all about basketball, much like someone he is often compared to: Kevin Durant.
Both players seem to be focused only on their games and how to improve them.
While Ingram surely has a personal life, it seems that the biggest part of all he does is the game and what he does on the court.
This is a man who is laser-focused on his greatness.
