“Ja Morant is only 22 and has gathered the 3rd most views across the NBA’s socials this season”: How the Grizzlies guard is one of the most entertaining players in the league

Ja Morant has driven 385 million views across all NBA’s socials. The 22-year-old only trails the likes of megastars Stephen Curry and LeBron James.

The NBA is filled with talented individuals. There are numerous players who are considered as good, however, not all of them can be regarded as entertaining. Chris Paul, Rudy Gobert, Nikola Jokic are some of the classic examples for the same – they are extremely brilliant at their respective roles, but they aren’t exactly captivating.

Ja Morant is one of the league’s best entertainers. Standing at 6-foot-3, the Grizzlies guard has an insane dunk package, acrobatic finish at the rim, and that flair that leaves fans in awe. A recent stat showed how at 22-years-old, the All-Star has been one of the most entertaining players.
