One game after scoring a career-high 46 points(Update: He topped that in Monday night’s game!), Ja Morant threw down the most incredible dunk of the 2021-22 NBA season.
The Memphis Grizzlies’ superstar point guard — that’s important to keep in mind; this is a POINT GUARD — put San Antonio Spurs big man Jakob Poeltl on a poster with a soul-crushing dunk in the second quarter.

This dude is in just third NBA season (and he’s averaging 27.1 points).
Morant’s crazy plays have had Twitter going wild. Here’s a sampling of the reaction:

I’m guessing Ja Morant first on Poeltl tomorrow. https://t.co/ZaenzBgDGK

Ja Morant officially put together a first half with more highlights than an entire Grit n' Grind Era season. What is done in the dark will be revealed in the light.

For you, the day Ja Morant graced your stadium was the most incredible day of your life.
But for him, it was Monday. https://t.co/zTaadlOVIu

Ja Morant doesn’t make sense 😂. I say that in the most respectful way.
