Memphis Grizzlies rookie Ja Morant's highlight reel continues to grow by the day and he added yet another impressive entry on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The 20-year-old Murray State product displayed his unreal athleticism at the 5:46 mark of the second quarter at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, finishing a two-handed alley-oop hammer off a beautiful dish from Brandon Clarke.

With Memphis up big 53-39, Clarke and Morant kept their feet on the gas pedal as they got into transition despite being outnumbered by four white shirts. The pair nullified the disadvantage by taking it to the skies, as Clarke unselfishly threw a well-timed lob to push their lead to 15.
Both Clarke and Morant have been balling as of late for coach Taylor Jenkins, with the former notching 12.8 points on 64.6 percent shooting from the field and 50 percent from three. Morant, meanwhile, is currently at the top of the Rookie Ladder with averages of 18.8 points, 3.1 boards, 6.5 assists, and 1.3 steals.
