The Memphis Grizzlies and Ja Morant have had a lot of success this season, and they're currently playing like one of the top teams in the league. With a 35-18 record, Memphis is presently the third seed in the Western Conference. Ja Morant is playing at an MVP level right now, averaging 26 points, six rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game.

Ja Morant has long claimed that he was underlooked during his college recruitment process and that he also should have been the first overall choice in the draft, but he was selected second overall by the Grizzlies.

In a recent interview with the NBA, Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant had this to say about what keeps him motivated,

“I've never been satisfied, coming from being overlooked and underrated.”

When watching Ja Morant play for the Grizzlies, it is clear that he plays with a level of passion and fire that you don't see from many other players in the NBA. He's one of those players that simply goes out and plays basketball the right way every night, trying as hard as he can to ensure that his team wins.

Despite all of Morant's success this season, he still goes out every night with the same mentality in order to help the Grizzlies keep winning games.

Memphis will look to maintain the same level of success that they have had this season for the rest of the year. If Ja Morant can continue to play at this level, Memphis has a chance to win an NBA championship.
