“Ja Morant gonna injure his knees one day doing the Griddy”: NBA Twitter reacts as the 22 y/o Grizzlies star plays pick-up basketball at a high school in Alabama

Ja Morant arrives at the Dreamers Showcase in East Brewton, Alabama, and puts on a show for everyone present.

Ja Morant is one of the most entertaining players in the league. The 6-foot-3 highflyer manages to attack the rim at his own will and has even developed a consistent jump shot over the years.

Ja is one player who has constantly been improving his game year after year. During his 1st season, the guard averaged 17.8/3.9/7.3 and took home the Rookie of the Year honor. The highflyer had a better sophomore campaign, averaging 19.1/4/7.4, and finally won the 2022 Most Improved Player award after putting up a staggering 27.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 6.7 assists while leading his team to the second round of the playoffs.

In only 3 seasons, Morant has had quite the impact for Memphis. Before the electric combo guard’s arrival, the Grizzlies were placed 12th in the Western Conference. After a few years of finishing 9th and making the first round of the playoffs, the 22-year-old has managed to lead the franchise to the 2nd best 56-26 record in the entire league.

With 1 All-Star appearance, 1 All-NBA Second Team selection, the 2020 ROY, and the 2022 MIP, Morant is one of the best young talents in the association who is more than likely to be a future face of the NBA.
