The Grizzlies’ Ja Morant embarrasses Victor Vembanyama with an epic poster, but there’s a catch

Wednesday night, The Memphis Grizzlies played against the San Antonio Spurs and came in first place, 129-115. The win was their 26th in 41 attempts this season, which in itself is a big reason to be happy. But I Morant decided to put the cherry on top of an impressive victory as he climbed to the top of the mountain that is Victor Vembanyama and hoisted his flag, throwing a nasty one-handed tomahawk jam that raised the entire Grizzly roster.

The catch, however, was that the slam dunk would be the favorite to win the slam dunk of the year award he didn’t count on the scoreboard. Morant had already been fouled by Stephon Castle en route to the rim, canceling what would have been the most electrifying basket of the Grizzlies star’s career — which is saying a lot considering how many highlights he’s already had in his six years. NBA career.

But even though the basket didn’t count, that didn’t stop Morant from flexing his muscles for the cameras — and rightfully so. The Grizzlies star made his way to the home crowd and expressed his delight at such a stunning performance that only rubbed more salt on the Spurs’ early stars on their road to defeat.

Jaren Jackson Jr. was Morant’s primary hype man, but the Grizzlies’ entire bench was doing their best to keep themselves from crowding the court and giving their star point guard the flowers he deserves for winning his aerial battle against the league’s most feared rim protector right now. Meanwhile, Santi Aldama and Luke Kennard can only look away in disbelief at what they saw.

This incredible shot may not have counted for two points, but Morant’s sheer audacity to attempt such a dunk and ability to finish it is worth more than two points in anyone’s book.

The NBA world is thanking Grizzlies star Ja Morant for lying about the dunk

Last season was difficult for Ja Morant due to injuries. Therefore, it was no surprise to hear The Grizzlies star swears by dunks to preserve his health. But it didn’t take long Morant to break that promiseas he pulled a rabbit out of the hat and treated the fans to a clutch double dunk against the Boston Celtics.

And now, Morant is adding an even more memorable highlight after putting Spurs star Victor Vembanyama on the poster.
