Ja Morant has always been a fearless player and has embodied that attitude with his game. The uber-athletic point guard loves using his physical assets by out-speeding and out-jumping anyone who defends him. This is proven by how he competed for the most paint points per game with behemoths like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic.
The two-time All-Star has been the Memphis Grizzlies’ superstar over the past few years due to his willingness to keep fighting. He dares to play by beating everyone in his way, leading to him getting into spats with other players because he does not care what they feel.
“I just don’t care, honestly. I feel like everybody puts their shoes on the same way I do. There is no reason to be afraid of anybody,” Morant said to Rachel Nichols in 2020. “I came in this league to prove that I could compete with the best; that’s just my mentality.”

The Grizzlies are benefiting from Morant’s fearlessness
Since he is Memphis’ leader and best player, Morant sets the standard for the Grizzlies. If he is willing to clash with his opponents, the rest of the team will support him. Thankfully, the rest of the Grizzlies are always helping Ja shine by giving him the best support possible with standout performances on offense and defense.
Memphis has been a team on the rise since the uber-athletic guard was selected with the second overall pick in the 2019 Draft. They almost made it into the Playoffs in his first season, but their inexperience prevented them from beating the Portland Trail Blazers in the first-ever Play-In game in the 2020 Bubble.
However, that run in Ja’s first season showed that he is the catalyst for change for the Grizzlies. His daring attitude toward proving everyone wrong has affected the rest of the franchise because they have chips on their shoulders.
