“Make Ja Morant an NBA All-Star starter”: NBA Twitter and Kevin Durant react to the Grizzlies point guard’s 36-point performance that included a monster dunk

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant has an exclamation dunk during the game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Ja Morant is making his case on a nightly basis for a selection in this year’s All-Star game. Recently, the former rookie of the year had a 41-point double-double against the Lakers. His performance was termed spectacular by LeBron James. His game-winning layup against the Phoenix Suns was another example of why he should be an All-Star this year.

The Grizzlies are on a four-game winning streak, looking to have a comfortable spot in the playoffs. After having defeated the likes of Devin Booker and King James, Morant defeated Kevin Durant and James Harden in Brooklyn.

Morant had 36-points, 6-rebounds, and 8-assists against the Nets. The Grizzlies shocked the crowd at the Barclays Center playing without seven of its players. However, Desmond Payne and Brandon Clarke made up for most of them, giving Morant ample ammunition to win.
