The Memphis Grizzlies torched the New York Knicks on Sunday night in Madison Square Garden. Ja Morant was undoubtedly the key player in the win for the Grizzlies. However, in the presence of Floyd Mayweather and Pete Davidson, Morant gave the NBA world a moment that reminded them of the legendary Michael Jordan.
Ja Morant made an outrageous play during the third quarter of the game between the Grizzlies and the Knicks. Morant received the ball from John Konchar and then dribbled past Immanuel Quickley. Ahead of him, Isaiah Hartenstein and Derrick Rose jumped to block Morant, but he reversed and scored the point. What’s more, he earned a foul and gave the team a three-point chance.
