Ja Morant · You need your head on a swivel in order to guard Ja Morant, and even then it probably won’t be enough. The Memphis Grizzlies star kicks off his fourth NBA season in style, catching a transition pass from Brandon Clarke before badly fooling the New York Knicks defense not once but twice. First he fakes a pass to John Konchar with a brilliant behind-the-back decoy maneuver before hitting the Knicks with a no-look dump off to a trailing Clarke, who uses the space Morant created to convert an easy layup. The 2022 Most Improved Player lit up the box score, scoring a game-high 34 points to go along with four rebounds and nine assists in his squad’s 115-112 overtime win on October 19, 2022. · State of Mint · State of Mint
