It has been over a month since the NBA Finals ended, and it's safe to say life without intense and competitive basketball has been pretty dull. Fortunately, Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant is here to help everyone ditch that basketball itch.
In the latest Chris Johnson Hoops game in Los Angeles, Morant showcased his otherworldly skills and athleticism once again when he soared for the alley-oop windmill dunk.
And yes, the Grizzlies guard did it in-game against a slew of fellow NBA players–making the dunk even more impressive.
A lot of plays and talent at @ChrisJHoops runs 😳🔥 @JaMorant @BenSimmons25 @jarenjacksonjr @Double0AG @BazleyDarius @TyreseMaxey @bboston_ @TreyLyles pic.twitter.com/rcnWz4xXDc

Ben Simmons notably showed his newfound range in the pick-up game, but Ja Morant certainly stole the show with his ridiculous hops and dunk.
Grizzlies fans got to be hyped after watching that clip, especially since Morant has been improving every facet of his game each season. Entering his third year in the league, there are high hopes Ja can take his game to another level.
Morant won Rookie of the Year in 2019-20, and he saw a slight improvement in his second season when he averaged 19.1 points, 4.0 rebounds and 7.4 assists. He was also a factor in helping Memphis reach the playoffs via the play-in tournament–defeating the Golden State Warriors in the process.
Now, the goal for the 22-year-old is to make the All-Star team and keep his Grizzlies competitive for another playoff berth and, hopefully, title contention.
