Another day, Ja Morant delivered a performance that left everyone in awe.

Although the Memphis Grizzlies suffered a loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, Ja Morant did not deserve that defeat. He scored a total of 36 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. In it, Ja Morant made a dunk that fans will still have to talk about even after the 2022-2023 season ends.

With 4 minutes and 46 seconds left in the third quarter, Ja Morant had the support of his teammates. From the space created, the 23-year-old superstar quickly broke through towards the basket. Ja Morant held the ball with his right hand, jumped up and the moment CJ McCollum rushed out to block it, the 23-year-old player passed the ball to his left hand and made a dunk to equalize the score 77-77. The referee could be even more strict because the New Orleans Pelicans player committed a foul in that situation.

Throughout NBA history, players who can do what Ja Morant can do are extremely few. The only person who made everyone gasp in amazement was the legendary Michael Jordan, considered the greatest player in history.

On the commentary broadcast, those watching the match also had to admire Ja Morant’s scoring situation. On Twitter, dozens of videos were quickly shared, making the 23-year-old star’s dunk even more special in the eyes of fans.
