It’s Ja Morant’s world, and we’re just living in it.
The Memphis Grizzlies and Orlando Magic sharpened the axes for the NBA regular season in a preseason bout Monday night, and Morant is already showing Memphis fans why the Grizz are going to be a major threat in the West this season.
In the second quarter, Morant made an insane steal on a Magic pass and took the ball unguarded right to the hoop and dunked it in with spectacular style.
While preseason games can often be a snooze, Morant’s fantastic finish to his defensive play got the Memphis crowd and Grizzlies bench going.

That’s a dunk contest worthy move right there.
While preseason wins are most definitely not a thing in the NBA, Morant’s grand return to style is enough to make you want to speed up the clock for the regular season to get here already.
Until then, though, we’ll have this fantastic glimmering of what Morant is poised to do to the rest of the league this year.
