It's very early in his career, but Ja Morant is already billed as the face of the league. The Memphis Grizzlies All-Star is one of the most exciting players in the league, blending insane athleticism with scoring prowess to become a bona fide superstar. He's proving that he's a generational talent who can go toe-to-toe with anyone in the league.

Morant himself knows just how good he can be. After participating in the NBA All-Star Game for the first time in his career, the Grizzlies star declared that his goal is to be part of the eventual NBA Top 100 ceremony in 2047. (via Ben Golliver)

Ja Morant went to the All-Star Game as a starter for Team Durant. He's only in his third-year, but the Grizzlies star is already proving he will be an All-Star starter lock for the rest of his career. He's currently averaging a whopping 26.8 points on nearly 50% shooting from the field, along with 5.8 rebounds and 6.9 assists per contest. His exploits have piloted Memphis to the third seed in the Western Conference.

Morant is referencing the NBA's Top 75 ceremony this year, which was held during half-time of the All-Star Game. The league updated their list of 50 Greatest Players for their 75th anniversary, adding 25 more names. These include titans of the 2010s like LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Tim Duncan. The Grizzlies star is hoping that he can be a part of the next 25 additions for the 100-year anniversary of the league.

In the meantime, though, Morant and the Grizzlies are focused on one thing: making a deep run in the playoffs. They are a dark horse when it comes to NBA Finals talks, but they have what it takes to upset a few sleeping giants in the postseason.
