I mean JA's biggest asset is brand value which is tied to dunking, if Ja makes close to no dunks if not stop for the rest of his career then it's the opposite of improvement; Ja needs to load mange smart safe dunks regularly to improve, JA just doesn't do risky dunks playing against the pistons on meaningless games not even on tv.
@@Evan-i4e no, ja's brand is based on his acrobatic playstyle, his larger than life approach, his off court dress style, even his hair. even if he stops going for crazy posters his brand will always remain strong- the dancing, the taunting, the shoes, the look, all of that is what keeps his brand
i think it's not that he isn't dunking anymore, it's more like he's trying to expand his arsenal of moves and playing a more sustainable playstyle and not just relying on freak athleticism like D-Rose
I already noticed he changed his style of play. He's more measured now when the ball is in his hands, his eyes takes in the whole floor now in a peripheral way. He's passing, he's distributing, he can sit on a bench and rest a few minutes without the team losing anything on the floor. Overall, their defensive intensity is a lot better than last year. I see them going deep into the playoffs.
What’s crazy is he’s always played this way the majority of the time. He’s a kyrie level ball handler with Chris Paul vision and a crazy layup package who just happens to have insane hops. He has 4-5 absurd layups every game, with a big dunk ever 3 games and everyone nationally thought that’s all he did.
Great video. He's always had the keys to be one of the best. I don't think it can be understated, the effects of his mentors this past year. I'm proud of the guy he's turning into
hi, I just wanted to tell you that Jesus loves you so much and He is waiting for you with open arms Please accept Him in your heart and life while He is near Also, True Christianity is not just a religion, it's a Father-child relationship with God, and more
Great video, as always. I'm not sure I can accept he has "changed as a man" just yet - jury is still out. But I am loving seeing him back on the court and in full swing! I hope he stays straight, for the good of the league and obviously for himself. Lucky his talent warranted a 3rd chance and looks like he is taking it with both hands. Also, that backwards pump dunk on the Celtics was just ridiculous 0.0.
Great vid! I've really been trying to give Ja fresh respect bc he definitely deserves a fresh start, especially after the mentors he's had now with Rose. I didn't know about the layup goal so that'll be good to look for.
@@levigranger5383 he can definitely get the Steph AI Kyrie layup package. Dude is talented, he most def can. This also gives him a chance to work on his outside shot, ultimately helping to the longevity of his career.
I just don’t like morants cockiness. It’s quite out of hand at most times and he’s very disrespectful to people he shouldn’t be and should have a lot more respect for like beaking off coaches and trying to disrespect the veterans of the game like they are nothing because they aren’t like they used to be. Aside from that, if he can tone that shit down he’d be a great model player for the league.
I believe he's brandishing. It implicates you in irresponsible gun ownership which, just like traveling in a vehicle, is a right you can lose if used as such. I may be wrong though...
It's official Ja Morant is better than Zion and it will never be close ever again. Ja Morant continues to improve and Zion continues to decline. When Zion averaged 27/7/4 on 61% FG% at just 20 years old he appeared to be the next Charles Barkley but it appears he ate himself out of being an All Star. This year he's averaging 22ppg on just 45% FG%. What a massive (Fat get it?) disappointment.
Ayo DK just wanted to say I've been watching since before like 40-50k subs when you were mainly covering the Ball family, but I'm glad I stuck around. I fuck with the direction of the content so heavy rn and appreciate these uploads. Keep it up my dude, 250k subs incoming.
This is what not ruin but held back Russell n drose even if he didn’t get injured they lack self awareness. You MUST look within to improve in that goes for all of us
Ja Morant's numbers are actually down from last year. He last played a full season in 2023 when he averaged 26/6/8 on 47% shooting. This season he's averaging 22/5/8 on 45% shooting. At least he is behaving off the court.
D Rose was made out of glass.... Russ still playing explosive and still in the league with no major injuries... The exciting part of Ja's game he is stopping it himself. His for him I guess 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
I watched it with my own eyes too you can sit here and say he was hanging with the wrong crowd all you want but he was a knucklehead that's not on nobody else but him he screwed me out of a championship which means I want my revenge
I am out here practicing going to the gym lifting weights just to make it to the NBA also to take care of my girlfriend too also I plan on taking vacations she is coming with me too whether she likes it or not too
His no dunk approach is ridiculous!! If everyone else in the league took this approach we would be stuck with a more athletic version of the WNBA. No thanks!!! Find a strength coach like MJ did and get back to work guy!! Lay ups and three pointers are not enough to fill an arena. Dunks are a major part of the game that people come out to see. Sure there’s gotta be some balance there but dunks are a big part of the entertainment.
The Grizzlies are beginning to become such a good team. The amount of support Ja gives to his guys (especially the ones who can catch fire) is so joyful to watch. It's tuff KLJR couldn't have stuck around for this next evolution of the team.
Acting gangsta is not cool. I know many black peeps who are not poor or in an area where they need to carry and act a fool. They all act gansta and go to the same middle class school that non acting gansta kids go too. Its funny to be honest to see them switch the cadence in their speech when they are together or in front of Mrs Johnson
Wyt people can walk around with all the guns they want... a black man shows it for 2 seconds its a national tragedy... 2nd amendment is for certain people
Should’ve been in the Olympics or would’ve been in the Olympics? I’m going with would’ve! This guy, with all his talent, can’t let go of his thug instincts. It’s sad and uncalled for. He ruined his chances of being in the top tear by thug’n out on Instagram and then did it again?!?! He should’ve been removed from the league entirely!! The NBA needed to take advantage of setting an example right away. Obviously the NBA doesn’t need him or any one player for that matter. It took a lot of players to maintain the same level of excitement that Jordan brought to the league. Since then, just about every player has been replaceable. Then this dude gets injured and then he quits dunking🤷🏻♂️ WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS?!?! Get over yourself man!!!
This man jah Stopped dunking, he is tripping, Everybody who had crazy dunks didn't end up with injuries like d rose, fastbreaks, and alley oops and dunk on people your size, and dunk around people like you did victor wembanyama that are taller and bigger and layups style you all keep, he never got injured during dunking in the style i explained, use your god giving abilities gives you a higher chance to win games and championships!
I remember last season people really tried replacing ja with ant ,i rarely hear about ant this season,i wonder why? He was just s filler till ja got back
Ant is still good, his team just made a bad move & haven't found a way to make the roster changes work. They wanted to avoid the 2nd apron & they also knew they weren't good enough to get through Luka & the Mavs in the Playoffs.
@pewpewTN that ain't what I'm saying ik any still gold but all that fake love went out the way the media was so fast to write ja off like he was a old nigga ja make his players better
I like how Ja is trying to improve himself for the better while the 1st round pick is still trying not to go through McDonald's drive thru.
I mean JA's biggest asset is brand value which is tied to dunking, if Ja makes close to no dunks if not stop for the rest of his career then it's the opposite of improvement; Ja needs to load mange smart safe dunks regularly to improve, JA just doesn't do risky dunks playing against the pistons on meaningless games not even on tv.

Nawl bruh D.Rose was the whole package with freak athleticism he ain’t just rely on being athletic
@@davidtripp4457 He's saying that D-Rose maybe put too much trust in the longevity of his body and athleticism of course hard work is a factor
@@ayrohn5490 One outlier that always fails to be mentioned when it comes to D-rose is his diet was atrocious. Bags of candy, fast food, etc..
This is a great assessment of Ja's improvement and results.

It’s the return of the true point guard position.
Stole the words right from me. Well said
Those dunk attempts got bro looking like Melo when he tries to dunk on Centers, damn near injuring himself 😂
I hope he will win the NBA chip and FMVP this season
grizzlies ain't good enough goofy and im a fan
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nahhhhhhh
This is the funniest comment I've read today. 😂
Ja has a better chance at winning MVP. we still have 60 games.
You had me worried with how you started the video.. but you did Ja right… don’t sleep on Ja folks
hi, I just wanted to tell you that Jesus loves you so much and He is waiting for you with open arms Please accept Him in your heart and life while He is near

Don’t care if Ja is a better player. What I hope is he is a better person.
And I'm glad we have him here in Memphis working his magic on the court. Ja's the man, he just had to calm his butt down a bit
He was also a vocal leader 2 years ago, so the only news is that he stopped dunking.
You baited me so hard with that last bit about your Lamelo vid cuz I really thought he came back already 😭
Ja shouldnt play like Derrick Rose if he wants to have a long career so i think he make the right decision.
Ja stopped dunking because he is injury prone and he is trying to extend his NBA life.
If he gets the Kyrie layup package that will be crazy
Nah he need a LeBron style layup package
Bad take, like saying if he gets shaqs size that will be crazy. Both are impossible 😂

I still look at this boy as a role model I not only model my game after him but I model myself after him what he did was not okay
Hell yeah. Good for him, and I think he'll find there are layup moves that people will appreciate more than a standard issue dunk.
“Yar Morant” 😂😂😂
I didn't know it was illegal to own a gun in America. Who knew?
Seriously though, why did Ja get suspended for the gun?
You know sports has an image thing like the NFL. You’re a brand, there’s a certain way they expect you to act.

DMKLYTICS dominant show of discernment.🎉🎉🎉
Was not a fan of Ja 1.0.....But respecting Ja 2.0. I hope he put the past behind him both on and off the court.
to be honest it is good to see Ja re-invent himself... he is just too good an athlete. The past is the past. Ja, be the champion you are.
If he can stay healthy and stay out of trouble, seems like the sky is the limit for him.

I love ja
no more dunks, Ja now a professor of english... Dr. Ja
Dr. House said that people never change. I hope he's wrong.
