Ja Morant is the first player in Grizzlies franchise history to score 50+ points in a game. He set the previous franchise record for points in a game with 46 points in their last game on 02/26/2022 vs. The Bulls.
@@neelmanchanda2903 morant more efficient field goal, more efficient 3 , more efficient free throws, less shots but same amount of points, less turnovers, higher per, you’re just sad morant better
He won't hes gonna regret copying d rose and get injured just like him. And this may sound f up but I can't wait tbh maybe morant will get a reality check and stop being cocky
This is the most entertaining 50+ point performance and one of the craziest single game highlight reels I’ve ever seen. Long bomb 3, buzzer beater full court alley oop jump shot, dunk from edge of paint over a 7-footer, and 50 points on only 4 FTM …IN ONE GAME?!?!? Ja is unreal.
I know, right! This is the type of video people will look back on to reference Morant when he was young and had peak athleticism. People will be like "this is what Morant was like in his prime"
I think the very same. This is historical, i cant remember another game with such highlights from same guy. He scored a 3pt like Curry, he jumped over a 7ft like Jordan/Rose in their primes and he did that ridiculous catch and shoot that noone else did before with 0.04 on the clock. This is a historical highlight reel never seen before from a guy of his age let alone the 50pts and everything else. I have no words, future hall of famer, future MVP and if he continues like that for sure FACE of NBA
@@darrylurbano5219 I mean tbh he might be top 5 along with derozan, jokic, embiid, and Giannis but let’s be honest Giannis or embiid are the most likely to win the mvp
Ja morant is in his own category. Jumps out the gym , stops on a dime , can hit any shot, foot work is smooth , humility on 100%, consistently progressing. What a great role model for the city of Memphis! Rooting for this young squad they are special. - suns fan
Every single NBA franchise now has had someone score 50 points in a game after tonight. Congrats, Memphis. You guys are a legit threat to the Warriors and Suns.
This is a very competitive MVP race. A lot of styles are returning and making impacts. NBA looking more diverse again. Midrange, Big Men, Athleticism, and the three-point shot becoming more grounded.
Midrange is deadly, people never talk about it but it’s how Durant, Derozan and Kawhi dominate the league. And how Garnett, Nowitzki, Kobe etc dominated before them
Bruhh i cant believe what that one dude said in this video 🤦♂️ (its a comp of youtubers reacting to Ja’s game) ua-cam.com/video/kiKFrBt3d7g/v-deo.html
Not really i dont see how it can be. No way embiid is mvp like everyone saying. Derozan should be ahead of him. If mephis finish 2nd in the west the it should b mvpmto morant. The mvp race is a race between two.
Im not big on bb but Ik a legend in the making when I see one : a guard that can dominate anywhere from the floor, shoot consistently, catch bodies , get crossovers , and he can also pass really well too on top of all that he has that mamba mentality and the confidence to back it so yea ( Future of the NBA )
Ja is hands down my favorite player currently. The fact that this man got injured and then dropped a career high not even a week later. The commitment to the game is beyond elite. I definitely feel he is one of those special player with tha “mamba mentality”
His playstyle reminds me of a young DRose during his 2011 MVP season. Hope he will have a long and healthy career ahead. If he keeps it up, he will definitely be a future MVP and a future HOF.
While Ja - again! - is showing real MVP moves here I wanna take the time to appreciate Steven Adams. What an eye, passing skills, team play. Memphis is lucky to have him!
Damn! Ja Morant makes the Memphis Grizzlies relevant again, last time Memphis Grizzlies good way back in Grit and Grind era when M.Gasol,Zbo,Conley and Toney Allen was there. Ja Morant is not just a superstar, he's a mega star.
The Passion and Love Morant has for the game is at a different level. I haven’t seen a guy have so much fun when dominating a game. It rubs off on his teammates. I hope he stays healthy and humble .
2:16 how is no one talking about how crazy this shot was! he had the nasty dunk I have seen all season in this game....and I still think this shot was more impressive! absolutely extraordinary
What a speed, power, strength, confidence, spin, shot, dunk, jump!!! He has everything!😀 I always think that he is superstar but in this game, he was super super super star!!
That dunk was crazy but catching that long pass in the air & twisting his body at the same time to the hoop & making that shoot as the buzzer & red light goes on now that was just for me the best highlight.
fax bruh he is goated at beign a quarterback with his insane quarterback shot and now insane quarterback assist like wtf steve adams u should be a fooball player not basketball (jk jk)
You can see why AI thinks it's only a matter of time before Ja walks away with MVP. Even if it's not this year, it's almost a certainty he will in the next few years. What fun watching this kid play.
I’ve been sayin dis since he arrived. All he has to do is become stronger Nd a better shooter. When dat happens he’ll become unguardable wit pitas doubt. 🤷🏾♂️👌🏾
This year’s Ja is better than any version of Mike Conley, no disrespect. If he can keep this up for a long time and be healthy, this dude might go down as the greatest Grizzly.
I still cant beleive what im seeing and all that in a single match. Give the guy the MVP award already, i dont give a shit about STATS !! This kind of performances are beyond STATS. Im watching the buzz beater over and over and over and i still cant beleive this ! Add everything else and you have all kind of legendary highlights in a single match from same guy. This is historical to say the least.
Congratulations Ja you are an amazing basketball player, I hope you and the Grizzlies stay healthy and make plenty of noise in the playoffs go for the mountain top!
Its gonna be a sad day when Lebron KD Steph CP3 and guys like that are all out of the league, but Ja Luka Book Tatum got me looking forward to watching how great this next generation will be when they hit their prime
hopefully the nba becomes like high school competition, where anyone can win reach it to the top and win, because with lebron kd and steph, they held the NBA at hostage
This is what the best players do. Take the team that's not full of star players and put them on your shoulders. Ja is absolutely fantastic this season.
Steven Adams loves playing with fast athletic play making guards he seem to always free up lanes for ja and for russell westbrook (in his okc days) using screens very underrated big man
you can see Morant becoming a complete offensive player slowly. sure, most of his points come as a slasher right now: the best one in the league. but he's building that 3-point and midrange game: look at that superb fadeaway at 1:00 after being triple teamed in the paint. and then there's the odd horse shot like the one at 2:15. plus his handles are absolutely brilliant, and he can drop solid dimes. it's also obvious that he's a leader. and he's the best dunker right now. this guy is THE entertainment package.
If he can get the 2nd seed in the West, he has to win MVP. The 2nd highest seeding in the NBA along with averaging 27/6/7 with 50% FG for a guard. If he keeps this up this play for the remaining 10 games he surely wins MVP.
So glad this doode plays for the grizzlies and not a big franchise like the lakers or nets teams that want to buy their championships..this guy can start his legacy in a small market something new and different…he’s definitely special
I'm 56yrs old and have seen a bunch come and go...Dr J, Magic, Bird, Jordan, Shaq, Kobe, LeBron, etc, etc. But, this kid is the most exciting player I've seen in a long time. One of those rare "sky-walkers." Puts in the effort to play defense too, unlike almost everybody else in the league. You won't see anybody shoving him in the back to get him to D-up anybody (and, such is what inequivitably removed any challenge at all of Jordan being the GOAT...perhaps "Bronny" will play some defense). Anyway, Ja is one that I'd definitely pay to go see play. Reminds me of a cross between Clyde "The Glide" Drexler and George "Ice Man" Gervin...just a little shorter. Not a bad comparison at all if I must say. Kid is the REAL deal.
Ja Morant is the first player in Grizzlies franchise history to score 50+ points in a game. He set the previous franchise record for points in a game with 46 points in their last game on 02/26/2022 vs. The Bulls.
