Ja Morant got the craziest poster dunk in NBA history on Jakob Poeltl
According to social media, there is a new king of the NBA, and his name is Ja Morant. Definitely, the energy surrounding the Memphis Grizzlies is the highest its ever been. As a franchise, the Grizzlies have enjoyed some success. Much of the Grizzlies’ success has come when facing the San Antonio Spurs. In 2011, the Grizzlies upset the NBA’s best Spurs to win their first ever playoff series. Two years later, the Grizzlies played in their first ever Western Conference Finals, where the Spurs swept them.
The Grizzlies of the 2010-2017 era built a reputation of playing good, team, ball. Guys like Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol led the team, but Mike Conley was also one of the team’s leaders. That era saw the Grizzlies form rivalries with the Clippers, Spurs, and Thunder. During that time, the Grizzlies also gave Steph Curry’s Warriors their first real test, taking a 2-1 lead over them during their first title run. In the end, the Grizzlies tore it apart, and that landed them Ja Morant, who has put it back together.
Ja Morant has blossomed into a star, during this 2021-2022 campaign. While many expected the Grizzlies to take the next step, few saw this coming. Not only is Ja Morant emerging as a top five player in the league, the Grizzlies hold the NBA’s third best record. Last night, Ja Morant scored 52 points, against the Spurs. Morant defined the moment by this energetic dunk he got on Jakob Poeltl.
