Ja Morant’s rise in the NBA has led some people, mostly Grizzlies fans, to put him in the same breath as Philadelphia 76ers legend Allen Iverson. A.I. was asked about the Morant comparisons, and he gave an interesting answer.
“The eye test says ya, it’s Ja,” Iverson said during an interview he did as an ambassador for PointsBet. “And 99% of the people I think, that I’ve had a conversation with, that I’ve heard on social media on everything is me and him being compared.”

Iverson sees himself in the way Ja Morant forcefully attacks the rim. His ability to dictate the game is another similarity that A.I. notices, and so is being the best player on their respective teams.
However, Iverson was also quick to point out the size difference between the two. He conceded that he wasn’t as good at finishing with both hands as the 24-year-old point guard.
“The similarities? I was able to jump like that, but he’s 6’3 “,” Iverson said. “Our style, when you look at it, his jumper doesn’t look like mine, I was never good with my left hand, but you can see the aggressiveness going to the basket, and the way he controls the game, he’s the guy on the top of the scouting report in the game, I see those similarities.”
