Ja Morant isn’t messing around this season. The young superstar continues to raise his game, and lift his team to new heights. In this play of the year contender, Morant shows off his supernatural, jump out of the gym hops as he tracks down and perfectly times the two-handed, soaring block from behind. Morant contributed 16 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds and that career highlight block in the 127-119 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on January 9, 2022.

Dunk of the year alert! As the owner of some of the NBA’s flashiest slams over the past four seasons, Ja Morant showed the Indiana Pacers there’s plenty more where those came from when he found a seam in the defense on a drive to the basket before he wound up and threw down an overpowering tomahawk jam. The arena-shaking dunk gave the Memphis Grizzlies a 20-point third quarter lead, and Morant’s 23 points and 10 assists helped the Grizzlies win their ninth consecutive game, a 130-112 display of dominance on January 14, 2023.

Ja Morant is a man of many talents — including eyes in the back of his head levels of anticipation. It does not matter that the Memphis Grizzlies star has his back turned to the play with the New Orleans Pelicans attempting a frontcourt inbounds pass, as Morant times his turn perfectly and plucks a steal from midair. Morant races the other way and gets by Larry Nance Jr. with a dazzling behind-the-back dribble before finishing with an athletic finger roll. While the Pelicans won the game, the two-time All-Star finished with a game-high 36 points to go with eight rebounds, four assists and three steals on November 15, 2022.

The Memphis Grizzlies superstar pushes his dribble ahead then goes above and beyond for one of the most vicious monster jams you’ll ever see over a seven-footer. Morant’s amazing highlight was part of an historic night in a 118-105 win over the San Antonio Spurs on February 28, 2022: he recorded the first 50-point game in franchise history with a career-high 52 points.
