Remember when Ja Morant said he'd never dunk again? That's it. memphis grizzlies star He made the best dunk of the season against the Boston Celtics. Days after that viral comment, he continued to attack the basket all year long. I might prefer Morant these days. Hit a 360 degree layup Even though he doesn't go for big slams, he still has the ability to stand up to the best.
Showdown with the Grizzlies san antonio spurs Wednesday night had a lot of great moments, including Chris Paul literally hitting Victor Wembaneyama with a jump ball to set up Zach Eady to tie the game. The best play of the game did not count. With two minutes left in the fourth quarter, officials called a foul on Spurs guard Stephon Castle, who was defending a drive by Morant.
Morant just kept rushing into the paint, where 7'5 Wenbanyama was standing guarding the rim. Maybe Morant didn't hear the whistle. That's because his slip-in dunk over Wenbanyama exploded from the ground. Watch the play here:
I'm shaking my head at the referee who called that foul. Morant vs. Wembaneyama at the rim is awesome.
for my money Coby White hits Wembangyama with the winning dunk. It's still the best poster on the Spurs giant's head. In Morant's case, it would have been even more spectacular if it had counted.
The Grizzlies defeated the Spurs 129-115. Morant scored 21 points in the win, while Wenbanyama finished with just 13 points in the loss.
