Setting a personal record with 52 points, Ja Morant sowed hope for a new icon in the NBA arena

Less than 48 hours after scoring 46 points against the Chicago Bulls, Ja Morant broke his own record with 52 points against the San Antonio Spurs on the morning of March 1 (Vietnam time).

Ja Morant is enjoying a highly productive third season in the NBA with the Memphis Grizzlies. Experts and fans are praising the 22-year-old man’s outstanding achievements.

Ja Morant set a new career scoring record in the morning game against the San Antonio Spurs on March 1 (Vietnam time). He finished with 52 points on 22/30 shooting with 4/4 successful 3-pointers. It’s even more remarkable given that the 22-year-old superstar had just broken his own record with a 46-point outburst against the Chicago Bulls two days before.

Furthermore, these two outstanding efforts enabled Ja Morant take the #1 place in the Memphis Grizzlies single-match scoring record. Mike Miller is the closest competitor to Ja Morant, having scored just 45 points since February 21, 2007. Ja Morant featured four times on the list of the five most spectacular performances in “The Bears” history.

Ja Morant’s outstanding play helped the Memphis Grizzlies win both games against the Chicago Bulls and the San Antonio Spurs. Most importantly, with a record of 43 wins – 20 losses, Ja Morant has helped the Memphis Grizzlies cut the gap on the Golden State Warriors, who are ranked second in the Western Conference with a record of 43 wins – 18 losses.

With his current strong play, Ja Morant is very certain to be named “Most Improved Player of the Year” for the 2021-2022 season. This is an exceptionally commendable accomplishment for the 22-year-old superstar’s efforts, and it also helps him earn additional strong launching pads in the near future, like as the MVP title or the NBA championship.

Furthermore, Ja Morant will play a significant role in identifying successors to the iconicity of LeBron James and Stephen Curry in the NBA arena. Many people have expressed fear that the NBA may lose its attraction after the aforementioned great combination retires.

Prior to it, several players were projected to become the NBA’s new faces. However, there have been no notable developments for Jayson Tatum, Devin Booker, or Trae Young. Zion Williamson is often injured, while Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic are just foreign players in the United States.

The NBA’s conviction in a new representative face for the tournament in the near future is shown by Ja Morant’s exceptional progress. Ja Morant is just 22 years old and is in his third season in the NBA, so he has plenty of time to improve his abilities and reach the pinnacle of his career.

American basketball enthusiasts previously anticipated Zion Williamson to be selected in the 2019 NBA Draft. However, given recent events, the individual taken second overall that year, Ja Morant, has emerged as the primary player in the NBA Draft. The importance of a new representative face for the whole NBA is at stake in this competition.
