Ever since Ja Morant burst onto the scene at Murray State, he's been known for his high-flying athleticism that earned him comparisons to Russell Westbrook and Derrick Rose during the 2019 NBA Draft process. While Morant is throwing down highlight-reel dunks as often as he used to, he still relies on his athleticism to make game-changing plays.
The Memphis Grizzlies welcomed the Charlotte Hornets to FedExForum Wednesday night in a contest between two of the most popular guards in basketball Morant and Charlotte's LaMelo Ball. While the game hasn't even hit halftime yet, Morant already has himself a season-highlight-worthy play.
