Memphis Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant is an absolutely ridiculous athlete, and he put his athleticism on full display in Sunday night’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Morant came out of nowhere to pull off a two-handed rejection on an Avery Bradley layup in the first quarter. This is a very strong contender for Block of the Year:

Morant basically “caught” that one. Just ridiculous leaping ability, and from a point guard!
The hoops world couldn’t believe Morant’s absurd play:

if you remember those viral videos of the theater audience reacting to Paranormal Activity that’s what the Laker crowd looks and sounds like right now every time Ja gather-steps to do something.
