As Memphis cruised to a quiet victory at Indiana, Ja Morant added a dose of the extraordinary to the encounter by wickedly posterizing Jalen Smith. NBA dunk of the year? It’s possible.
But this boy is not human! A real highlights machine, Ja Morant did it once more last night once morest the Pacers. A few days following having massacred Jakob Poeltl, the Grizzlies marsupilami returned the cover but even stronger. This time the victim’s name is Jalen Smith and the Indy interior took… very, very expensive. Let’s look at it right now from all angles.

All the action is perfect. The dribble with the small change of hand, the crazy trigger and the violence of the finish. Not to mention that the boy in front is not an Isaiah Thomas the size of three apples. It’s Jalen Smith, 2m08 in height but above all a wingspan that can reach 2m20. A very high wall to overcome and Ja Morant did not seem more bothered than that at the idea of taking the plunge. What ease, what a monster! And the look of Smith who seems not to believe what he sees!
We know that the guy can smack us the dunk of the year in each match and he sometimes (often) comes out with some great crazy things, but here we may have his masterpiece for this 2022-23 season. Enough to drive teammates on the bench crazy, fans in the stands (remember that the match takes place outside, it is therefore the Pacers fans who hold their heads in their hands on the images), the community manager of Memphis but also his peers on social networks. Spoiler, obviously Kevin Durant liked what he saw.

Ja Morant has just filed a big case for the dunk of the year in the NBA. And if not, the Slam Dunk Contest still doesn’t tell him to go there?
