Ja Morant had one of the best performances of his career yesterday night against the San Antonio Spurs. Playing a total of 34 minutes, the All-Star managed to do it all – hit 100% of his 3-pointers, leave the crowd in awe of his jaw-dropping dunk on Jakob Poeltl, proceeded to knock down an insane buzzer-beater, and finished the night with a career-high 52-point outing.
Ja was trending all over social media. Several fans and even players commended the youngster for the incredible performance he put on. However, the ultimate validation the Grizzlies guard received was from Allen Iverson.
The HOFer guard took it to his social media platforms as he posted a photo with a Ja Morant jersey hanging onto the Maurice Podoloff Trophy AI had won back in 2001, captioning it:
