“Been Waiting.. Since Wemby Got Drafted”: 6’2 Ja Morant Posterizing 7’5 Spurs Giant Erupts Wild Reactions

Ja Morant is one of the most athletic superstars in the NBA. He has dunked on countless opponents throughout his career and put them on a poster. Whenever Ja steps on a basketball court, it is certain the fans will go home with some insane highlights. So, the NBA world was very excited to witness the first meeting between Ja Morant and 7’5 rookie Victor Wembanyama. And Ja did not disappoint.

The 6’2 Memphis Grizzlies superstar posterized Victor Wembanyama, leaving the NBA World in a frenzy.

Fans react to Ja Morant’s poster on Victor Wembanyama

The Memphis Grizzlies have turned into a different team since Ja Morant’s return from suspension. He has brought back the excitement and fire in the Grizzlies locker room, and there is hope that Ja will get Memphis to the playoffs. The Ja Morant-led Grizzlies went head-to-head against the San Antonio Spurs tonight. And Ja Morant had another viral moment. The 6’2 guard crossed Victor Wembanyama over in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter and posterized him.

The fans at the FedExForum erupted after their superstar dunked on the 7’5 giant. The NBA world took social media by storm to express their excitement. One fan wrote, “Ja been waiting for this ever since Wemby got drafted.” The NBA World followed suit.

Fans also trolled the 19-year-old rookie for getting dunked on by a player more than a foot shorter than him.

What allowed Ja Morant to successfully posterize Victor Wembanyama was his amazing speed. Ja caught Wemby by surprise with a quick crossover. That left the 7’5 rookie wrong-footed, and he could not recover to block the shot. Ja soared over Wemby to finish the easy slam. He also put some extra emphasis on the dunk by slamming the backboard while coming down.

The Grizzlies win another game with Morant

Ja Morant will be happy to posterize Victor Wembanyama and get another win for his team on the same night. He led the Grizzlies to their 11th win of the season after dominating the Spurs 106-98. Ja led the game in scoring with 26 points, 10 assists and 5 rebounds. He also got a lot of support from his teammates as four other Grizzlies players scored in double digits. Meanwhile, no one from the Spurs roster scored more than 20 points.

The Grizzlies are 5-2 with Morant in the line-up. He has played like a superstar since his return, averaging 25.2 points, 7.8 assists, and 5 rebounds. If Ja Morant and Co. continue at this pace, they might get out of the hole they have dug themselves and get into the playoff picture in a few months.

Do you think Ja Morant can lead the Grizzlies to the playoffs despite their abysmal start?
