Ja Morant dunking over jalen Smith
Ja Morant is one of the best rim attackers in the league. His moves in the paint area and his acrobatics finishes make the games watchable for fans across. However, since the day he entered this league, he has shown a lion’s heart against some of the best defenders and the best blockers in the league. The league doesn’t lack the number of dunkers in right now, but the Memphis Grizzlies star displays an unbelievable combination of athleticism, violence, and showmanship on the rim.
Given the chance, Morant likes to put defenders on the poster and he certainly made sure that against the Indiana Pacers he gifts a poster too. With over 4 minutes remaining on the clock in the third quarter, the Grizzlies were leading against the Indiana Pacers by 67-85. From the top of the key Morant dribbled the ball to the right and made a crossover against the defender to move into the paint area. After he reached the paint area, Ja rose up and dunked the ball over Jalen Smith. With that poster he registered a dunk against every team in the league.
The Grizzlies star has taken his game to another level this year. Last year he was the most improved player in the league and was also in the conversation for the MVP award. This year again Ja is one of the runners for the MVP award. Stephen A. Smith recently declared that Grizzlies could beat the Warriors to make it to the conference finals.
Ja Morant shocked fans with his vicious dunk over Jalen Smith
Shocked by Ja Morant‘s vicious dunk over Jalen Smith, fans on Twitter went ballistic. One of the fans went to an extent and said, “He might have prime d rose beat when it comes to athleticism.” Another fan wrote, “Dunk that was heard around the world”. Here are some reactions from the fans on Twitter as they already declare the slam as Dunk of The Year:
The Grizzlies defeated the Pacers 112-130 to improve their record to 29-13. Desmond Bane and Morant led the Grizzlies’ offense. Bane scored team-high 25 points, while Morant scored 23 points and dropped 10 dimes.
The Grizzlies have been one of the best teams in the league so far and continue to elevate their performances behind Morant. His unique playmaking style, and his ability to attack the rim, make him a threat at any point he has the ball in hand. Desmond Bane has been a perfect co-star for him, who can contribute points on a nightly basis with big numbers. He has been averaging 27.4 points, 7.9 assists, and 4.7 rebounds per game this season.
