Ja Morant finally had his signature dunk and social media loved it

Ja Morant finally had his signature dunk on Wednesday night and social media absolutely loved it.

Even some 12 hours later, social media is still buzzing over Ja Morant.

In case you haven’t seen it a dozen times already on your timeline, the Memphis Grizzlies rookie threw down the dunk of the season Wednesday night over Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes though calling it just a dunk seems downright disrespectful to Morant.

With less than 50 seconds left in a two-possession game, Morant found himself matched up in a 1-on-1 situation with Baynes. It is the situation all point guards dream of and one that Baynes likely immediately dreaded once it happened.

Morant begins to his right, then dribbles over to his left and goes right at Baynes toward the rim. As he approaches the basket, he finishes with his right hand over Baynes and social media took over from there:

Morant finished with 13 points, six assists and four rebounds in the 115-108 win over the Suns. The contest was just his second back with the Grizzlies after missing four games due to back soreness after crashing into a courtside camera operator.

The second overall pick called upon the NBA to move the photographers located on the baseline of arenas to prevent future collisions. He said that he is going to take a different approach to how he attacks the rim though his dunk over Baynes may have delayed that change.
