Watch Ja Morant's Dunk of the Year on Jakob Poeltl, Which Wasn't Even His Best Play of the Quarter

Ja Morant has reached a level of play this year where the possibility that we're watching a simulation of some sort is no longer off the table. Morant, who had the best dunks of All-Star Weekend during the actual All-Star Game, usually tries to thrown down at least one impossible poster dunk a game. Usually something goes slightly wrong and we miss a possible highlight of the year but tonight against he Spurs Morant bodied Jakob Poeltl.

The sound of the dunk, the crowd and the announcer should be bottled as an energy drink. Poeltl is 7-foot-1 and has a Worlde-ish guessing game named after him. This dunk by Ja probably crashed the servers. Look at the other angles.

And before most people had sat back down Morant somehow topped the dunk on a full-court alley-oop buzzer-beater fadeaway baseline jumper. Seriously, it was all those things. The Saints may want to look at Steven Adams playing quarterback next season.

These are not the basketball outcomes of a human being. Morant finished the half with 29 points.
