For those who are unaware, NBA star Ja Morant is a freak of nature, on and off the court. Known for his wild personality, Morant has been wowing fans ever since he entered the NBA. The 2019 rookie of the year is known for his breathtaking and brilliant dunking in his career. This was on full display recently while performing at an event in China, leaving fans stunned in the process.

Ja Morant has more posters than fans can remember over his six-year NBA career. They are all fueled by Morant’s unflinching competitive edge. His acrobatic finishes have made him one of the league’s most exciting players over the years. Now, he has just added another one to his list while playing in China in front of adoring fans for his new shoe line.

Notably, when approaching the rim, Morant is renowned for his explosiveness, body control, and fearlessness. One of his best dunks came over Jakob Poeltl in 2022. In traffic, a one-handed tomahawk beats a seven-footer. The height, the timing, the sheer boldness. With complete authority, Morant jammed it after taking off from almost outside the lane.

Another one was his putback slam against the Los Angeles Lakers in 2023. As mentioned above, Morant is known for his wild nature. Every time, Morant dunks as if he has a point to prove. He actively seeks out large defenders rather than avoiding them. Highlight dunkers and posterizers are distinguished by that deadly instinct.

But sometimes it seems to get a bit too wild. Something that the Grizzlies star needs to take note of going ahead in his career.
