DALLAS -- An anticipatory buzz broke out in the American Airlines Center crowd when Grizzlies star Ja Morant had nothing but blue paint between him and the rim after stealing the ball near halfcourt midway through the second quarter Tuesday night.
The fans booed when Morant -- the creator of countless viral highlights during his five-plus-year NBA career -- finished the fast break with a basic, two-hand dunk that wasn't even hard enough to rock the rim.
"I'm not trying to dunk at all," Morant said after Memphis' 121-116 road loss to the Dallas Mavericks.
