Over his rookie campaign with the Memphis Grizzlies, Ja Morant has occasionally imitated wearing a pair of goggles on the court as a way to celebrate a flashy assist to a teammate.
Slowly, the celebration has morphed into something of its own as the Rookie of the Year frontrunner and other Grizzlies players use it more frequently now. Fans have even jumped in on the action as one young spectator did the move recently, which Morant duplicated.
Now, Grizzlies faithful can take part in the fun.
The team announced that the first 3,000 fans to attend the game on Saturday against the Sacramento Kings will receive a pair of goggles inspired by Morant, who helped model the look on social media.

While the giveaway will be exciting for fans, the Grizzlies have struggled as of late on the road. The team has dropped its last four consecutive games and will return home on Saturday hoping to get back on track.
