It’s been a season to remember for Ja Morant. At the ripe age of 22, the third-year Grizzlies superstar is enjoying one of the better coming-of-age campaigns in recent memory. He’s one of the NBA’s premier pure scorers, a legitimate MVP candidate, and has Memphis near the top of the West.
What else could you possibly ask for?
It turns out when you’re as great, and as uncommonly brilliant as Morant, there’s always more waiting on the table. Superstars like him are capable of a pleasant surprise — a legitimate, unstoppable performance — every night they lace up the sneakers.
