Young star Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies is truly one of the most prominent stars in the NBA at the moment. The attraction comes from the young bear’s liberal playing style, which always makes the audience admire each time they watch. With superior physical strength, NBA fans everywhere hope that the defender wearing shirt number 12 will one day show off his talent at the NBA All Star Slam Dunk Contest. And recently this guy “put a price” on his participation at the event.

In a latest interview with the young star born in 1999, a reporter from ESPN mentioned again the issue of wanting to see him participate in the dunk contest event. The numbers of likes or votes from 1 million to 5 million do not seem to be able to satisfy player number 12. Without hesitation, Ja requested that the number of likes instead of signatures supporting him at the event must reach 1 billion.

This is truly an unbelievable number on every social media platform. No matter how famous the name is, no one has yet achieved an odd number of the above goal regardless of any infrastructure. On the popular Twitter platform in the West, the post about actor Chadwick Boseman’s death reached 7.4 million likes, holding a record. On Instagram, the once famous egg photo is currently the photo with the most likes with 55.7 million. Meanwhile, the highest number at Facebook reached 15.7 million.

NBA fans will probably never see Ja Morant compete in the NBA All Star Slam Dunk Contest

Through these numbers, fans can understand that achieving one billion likes in a signature post, even if all social networks are combined together, is almost impossible. Perhaps this also replaces Ja Morant’s very clever refusal to the media as well as his beloved fans. However, it’s a shame that we will probably never see this alpha bear participate in the NBA All Star Slam Dunk Contest.

At this time, it can be affirmed that Ja Morant is the player with the most liberal and watchable style in the NBA. In the player born in 1999, fans can see a star who plays hard and is not afraid of anything. That’s why many teams are forced to use a player who regularly presses Ja from the moment he crosses half the field or even further (box and 1 strategy).

However, Ja Morant is not a weak guy who immediately picks up the ball and passes it to relieve pressure. The young man from the East is ready to face off against any powerful defender with his skillful ball handling skills. Anything people can think of from low cross over, behind the back or between the leg. Although simple, combined with speed and unpredictable movement, sometimes just passing the first marker is enough momentum for Ja Morant to rush straight to the basket.

Once Ja Morant rushed to the basket, not many guys dared to stand up against the terrible power that the South Carolina native brought. There have been countless of his victims from college to the NBA who can serve as witnesses for our readers.

The most important thing the audience sees in Ja Morant is that he has escaped the image of a defender who only carelessly rushes to the basket. Now the physical strength combined with the quickly accumulated experience makes the “Young Bear” terrify the entire NBA and put him in the MVP race. 

In Ja, fans somewhat remember the young Dwyane Wade who led the Miami Heat to the championship in his third year. It’s too early to confirm the future, but with what has been witnessed, the name Ja Morant will probably be mentioned a lot on the NBA map.
