<p>Morant wasn’t a highly-touted prospect coming out of high school and he hard to work his way to the top. Now, he’s a legit MVP candidate and one of the <strong>most entertaining players to watch</strong> in the Association.</p>
<p>He’s been so good and so quickly, that even <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/shaq-explains-why-james-harden-and-joel-embiid-shouldnt-be-compared-to-him-and-kobe-20220308-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Shaquille O’Neal</strong></a> recently went as far as to say that he’s the best player in the NBA. Per Shaq, it’s not just about his game <strong>but his attitude towards the game.</strong></p>
<h2>Shaq Says Ja Morant Is The Best Player In The League</h2>
<p><em><strong>“You should’ve seen this little kid’s face when I said ‘Yo man, you’re the best player in the league. He was like ‘huh?’ and I’m not playing with you bro, you’re the best–for real. I promise you’re the best,”</strong></em> Shaq said of Morant.<em> “Ja is good, Penny was like that, Kobe was like that. This kid, it will definitely be his league in a few years.”</em></p>

<h2>Shaq Loves Morant’s Attitude</h2>
<p>This isn’t the first time that Shaq raves about Morant’s mindset. Not so long ago, he compared him to a young <strong>Kobe Bryant </strong>and how both players were eager and determined to prove that they were better than most people thought:</p>
<p><em><strong>“I wasn’t talking about the player. I was talking about the attitude. When Kobe came in at 19 he knew he was the s**t, he just knew it,”</strong></em> Shaq said.<em>“The coach will be like, ‘don’t do that play,’ Kobe would be like, ‘nope I’m doing it.’ Like this kid is really freaking good and he knows it.”</em></p>
<p><em>“And there’s not a lot of people you can say that about in this league as a young player. That’s what I mean by that,” </em>Shaq added. <strong><em>“He knows it, he wasn’t highly drafted, wasn’t highly talked about, made a name for himself late in the NCAA, but he knows he’s good. He knows that’s his team and he’s playing really well. That’s what I meant by that.”</em></strong></p>

<p>That mentality is what <strong>can turn a very good player into a legend. </strong>Ja Morant’s NBA journey is just getting started and, barring injury, he’s going to be a superstar for many, many years to come.</p>

<p>Most of the <strong>NBA season </strong>is already on the books, so the narratives in favor of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nikola-jokic-explains-why-he-nearly-got-into-a-fight-with-markieff-morris-20211109-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Nikola Jokic,</strong></a> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/joel-embiid-shuts-down-the-shaq-kobe-comparisons-with-he-and-james-harden-20220303-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Joel Embiid,</strong></a> <strong>and</strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/giannis-antetokounmpo-lowkey-snubs-michael-jordan-while-praising-dirk-nowitzki-20220222-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Giannis Antetokounmpo</strong></a> are nearly all set. But that doesn’t mean that some dark-horse candidates still can’t run away out of the blue and earn MVP honors.</p>
<p>The aforementioned players have led the race for most of the season. But if you were to take a deeper look at the standings, the stats, and the rankings; there’s no reason to think some other players aren’t legit candidates as well.</p>
<p>That’s why today, we’re going to honor those players, talking about the only 3 guys who still have a chance to take the league by storm <strong>and steal the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/joel-embiid-explains-why-hes-got-to-be-this-years-mvp-20220223-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MVP</a> award</strong> from one of the players we mentioned.</p>
<h2>NBA MVP 2021-22: 3 Dark Horse Candidates To Win The Award</h2>
<h3>3. Devin Booker</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220306_BUS_185736_devin_booker.jpg_22993414_15efa9d3.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Devin Booker – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Season Stats:</strong> <em>25.6 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 4.6 APG, 1.1 SPG, 2.6 3PG, 44.8% FG, 36.8% 3FG, 86.4% FG</em></p>
<p>The fact that we have to include <strong>Devin Booker </strong>as a dark horse candidate is just blatant disrespect to the <strong>Phoenix Suns</strong>. We’re talking about the leading scorer in the team with the best record in the NBA, for crying out loud.</p>
<p>The Suns were just two wins away from winning a ring last season, yet they still get no respect. Booker has been a walking bucket all year, his defense has improved, and he’s holding down the fort without <strong>Chris Paul.</strong> The Suns have already won 50 games. Is that not MVP-worthy?</p>
<h3>2. Jimmy Butler</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220306_BUS_185736_jimmy_butler.jpg_22993414_1b5865dd.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Jimmy Butler – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Season Stats:</strong> <em>21.4 PPG, 6.2 RPG, 5.7 APG, 1.8 SPG, 47.0% FG, 19.0% 3FG, 87.8% FT</em></p>
<p>Out of the blue, all of a sudden, the <strong>Miami Heat</strong> are the number one seed in the Eastern Conference. And, while <strong>Jimmy Butler</strong> has missed some time with injury, he’s been lights out on both ends of the floor when he’s been on the court.</p>
<p>The Heat are one of the toughest teams in the league and a lot of that comes from <strong>Butler’s grittiness and leadership.</strong> He’s one of the best playmaking wings in the league and one of the few guys who can guard one through five. The Heat are rolling and a top-5 team in the league, yet he’s not getting any love for MVP.</p>
<h3>1. Ja Morant</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220306_BUS_185736_ja_morant.jpg_22993414_067f71de.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Ja Morant – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Season Stats:</strong> <em>27.8 PPG, 5.8 RPG, 6.6 APG, 1.2 SPG, 1.6 3PG, 49.6 FG%, 34.3 3FG%, 76.0 FT%</em></p>
<p>It didn’t take long before people started taking note of <strong>Ja Morant</strong>. He’s got the up-and-coming <strong>Memphis Grizzlies </strong>far ahead of schedule, and they seem poised to take over the second seed in the Western Conference sooner rather than later.</p>
<p>Just like <strong>Derrick Rose</strong> before him, Morant has become the league’s finest entertainer with his electric play and high-flying ability. He’s must-watch television and is posting MVP-caliber numbers on a good team that wasn’t supposed to be that good. We wouldn’t be shocked if he ends up winning MVP if he keeps his foot on the gas.</p>

It’s unfair, but it’s just the way it is. <strong>It happens in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/lebron-james-warns-the-rest-of-the-nba-responds-to-lakers-fans-boos-20220302-0036.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a>, it happens in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/tom-brady-teases-with-coming-out-of-retirement...-again-20220303-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a>, and it happens in every single major sports tournament.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Fans often overhype</strong> a player after a nice stretch, just to call him out when he falls from grace. He’s never as good as people say when he’s hot, nor as bad as their haters say when his shot isn’t falling.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, it’s become clearer and clearer that <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/kevin-durant-shares-bold-remark-about-ja-morant-20220104-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ja Morant</a> is a special kind of talent.</strong> But to <strong>Colin Cowherd,</strong> he’s just way too hyped right now and will end like some other athletic, fast point guards before him.</p>
<h2>NBA News: Colin Cowherd Thinks Ja Morant Will End Like Derrick Rose, John Wall, And Russell Westbrook</h2>
<p><em>“This Ja Morant stuff. I know he’s great,” </em>Cowherd said on his show.<em><strong>“But I want to remind you…fans and the media have fallen for this… five times in the last twelve years. It’s called John Wall, it’s called Russell Westbrook, it’s called Derrick Rose.</strong> Derrick Rose was every bit Ja Morant. He literally took over social media, he took over cable TV”</em></p>
<p><em><strong>“I am very skeptical about the long-term championship odds for springy, athletic guards that drive and score,”</strong></em> Cowherd added.<em>“The little guys that knock your socks off, and drive to the basket, are not great shooters do not last.”</em></p>

<p>While Cowherd could have a point right there, we’re talking about the same guy who said <strong>he’d take Carson Wentz ahead of Aaron Rodgers and that Ben Simmons was the fifth-best player in the world.</strong></p>
<p>So, besides taking everything he says with a grain of salt, there’s absolutely no reason to think that Morant can’t break the mold <strong>and find success in the league.</strong> He’s become the most entertaining player to watch this season and there’s no reason to take uncalled shots at him.</p>

<p>For years, people thought about how<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-analyst-rips-zion-williamson-just-eat-less-its-not-that-hard-20211109-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zion Williamson’s</a></strong> game was going to translate to the NBA, how he would dominate in the post, and how he was <strong>the most <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/charles-barkley-blasts-fat-zion-williamson-with-a-hilarious-remark-20211103-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA-ready prospect</a> since <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/lebron-james-gets-real-on-his-imminent-retirement-20211229-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James.</a></strong></p>
<p>No one seemed to bat an eye over Ja Morant, who quietly fought his way to the top and eventually made it to the league as the <strong>2nd overall pick. </strong>But even there, people didn’t seem to talk about him that much.</p>
<p>Fast-forward to today and not only Morant is proving that he should’ve been taken ahead of Zion.

<h2>Kendrick Perkins Says Morant Is The New Giannis</h2>
<p>Durant isn’t the only player who feels this way about Ja. Not so long ago, former NBA champion<strong> Kendrick Perkins</strong> claimed that he’s on pace to become the next Giannis Antetokoumnpo in terms of being a superstar from a small market:</p>
<p><em><strong>“People keep saying rising superstar, I think he’s already at that level. In my opinion, I’m looking at Ja Morant, and he’s going to be in my opinion the next Giannisof the NBA,”</strong></em> Perkins said.</p>
<p><em><strong>“I’m not just talking about individual accolades,”</strong></em> Perkins added. <em><strong>“But when I look at this young leader, this young killer. If I had to bet all the money in the world, he will be the next superstar to lead a franchise, a small-market franchise to winning a championship. All the other players to do that over the last 10 years are: LeBron James, yeah in Cleveland. But Giannis, and then it’s gonna be Ja Morant. That’s how special of a talent he is.”</strong></em></p>

<p>For years, <strong>J-Cole</strong> has been one of the most popular figures around the league. Not only he’s friends with multiple stars but also he’s a huge hoops fan and even participated in the league’s celebrity All-Star Game.</p>
<p>That’s why it wasn’t surprising to see him name-dropping players like <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/golden-state-warriors-t101550" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephen Curry</a> or<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> LeBron James</a> </strong>in his long-awaited album<em><strong> ‘The Off-Season’</strong></em>. Little did he know that he would be jinxing them. How’s that? Let’s see…</p>

<h2>The J-Cole NBA Curse: A Breakdown</h2>
<h2>Dennis Smith Jr</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210608_BUS_171767_dennis_smith_jr.jpg_22993414_3a69cd71.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Dennis Smith Jr. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Lyric:</strong><em> “Now I’m at the Garden sittin’ half-court watchin’ Jr catch if off the backboard”</em><br> <strong>Song: </strong>Amari<br> <strong>Season Outcome: </strong>Traded, missed playoffs</p>
<p>Well, it’s clear that<strong> Dennis Smith Jr </strong>and J-Cole are good friends. In fact, Smith used him as a prop in the 2019 All-Star Dunk Contest. There’s no other reason for J-Cole to name-drop Smith, as his career in the NBA has been a failure.</p>
<p>More than that, the worst part of this lyric is that Smith isn’t even going to be in the Garden anymore, as he was traded to the <strong>Detroit Pistons. </strong>Unsurprisingly, he didn’t make much of an impact there either.</p>
<h2>Stephen Curry</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p><strong>Lyric:</strong> <em>“And they got the O’s off, you reach, ni**a uppin’ like Steph”</em><br> <strong>Song: </strong>95 South<br> <strong>Season Outcome:</strong> Lost in the Play-in tournament, missed playoffs</p>
<p><strong>Stephen Curry</strong> went completely nuclear this season. He was the hottest scorer in the league and there simply was no stopping him. As for the rest of his team, well, I guess it’s a whole different story.</p>
<p>The <strong>Golden State Warriors </strong>lost both play-in tournament games and didn’t make the playoffs despite finishing the season as the 8th seed. Steph was stellar as per usual but it just wasn’t enough.</p>
<h2>Ja Morant</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Lyric:<em> </em></strong><em>“Ja Morant, I’m on my Grizzly”</em><br> <strong>Song: </strong>My Life<br> <strong>Season Outcome:</strong>First-round loss in the playoffs</p>
<p><strong>Ja Morant</strong> made great strides this season and proved to the world that he’s one of the most exciting and competitive players to watch in the league right now. He was, in fact, on his Grizzly throughout the season.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, the<strong> Memphis Grizzlies</strong>‘ overachieving season came to an early end when they met the NBA-best Utah Jazz in the first round of the playoffs. After taking the first game on the road, they lost 4 straight and were sent home.</p>
<h2>Russell Westbrook</h2>

<p>Once again, <strong>Russell Westbrook </strong>had a historically great season. He became the league’s all-time leader in triple-doubles and willed his team into playoff contention after a terrible start of the year.</p>
<p>Sadly, Westbrook’s numbers weren’t enough to lift the Washington Wizards past the <strong>Philadelphia 76ers</strong> in the first round. He was banged up and they never truly stood a chance against them.</p>
<h2>LeBron James</h2>

<p><strong>Lyric:</strong><em> “Can’t leave the game yet, feel like LeBron”</em><br> <strong>Song:</strong> 100 Mil<br> <strong>Season Outcome:</strong> First-round loss in the playoffs</p>
<p><strong>LeBron James</strong> is far from done in this league. Just like J-Cole said in 100 Mil, he can’t leave the game yet. He proved it by being an MVP candidate before suffering a high ankle injury that kept him on the shelf for months.</p>
<p>Not only was James clearly hurt when he was able to come back but also the<strong> Los Angeles Lakers </strong>couldn’t beat the Phoenix Suns in the first round. That was the first time that LeBron James is sent home in the first round of the playoffs. Huge jinx.</p>
<h2>Damian Lillard</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p><strong>Lyric:</strong> <em>“Ain’t nothing I want more”</em><br> <strong>Song: </strong>Postgame interview sampled<br> <strong>Season Outcome: </strong>First-round loss in the playoffs</p>
<p>And last but not least, we find Damian Lillard, whose postgame interview was sampled in the record. We all know Lillard is a fierce competitor and that he’s able to carry his team into the playoffs but that hasn’t translated into much success at that stage.</p>
<p>The <strong>Portland Trail Blazers</strong> underperformed when it mattered the most – again – and now they don’t even have a coach. Lillard and company couldn’t beat the Denver Nuggets and thus the J-Cole curse was complete.</p>

J-Cole cursed every NBA player name-dropped in The Off-Season - Bolavip US

<p>A couple of nights ago, the <strong><a href="http://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> </strong>had one of its<strong> most exciting <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/2021-nba-playoffs-key-dates-format-bracket-tv-schedule-20210520-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">playoff</a> slates</strong> in quite a while. Emotions were at an all-time high as some games went down to the wire. Sadly, though, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/The-25-NBA-teams-with-most-fans-20200423-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">some fans </a>showed that they don’t know how to behave and crossed the line between heckling<strong> and being flat-out insulting.</strong></p>
<p>Someone threw popcorn at <strong>Russell Westbrook </strong>in Philadelphia as he was walking towards the locker room after an injury. Then, another person spat<strong> Trae Young </strong>as he was leaving the Madison Square Garden, but perhaps the worst thing happened in the final game of the night.</p>
<p><strong>Ja Morant’s </strong>family was in attendance at the Vivint Arena to watch him play the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/utah-jazz-t92560" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Utah Jazz.</strong></a> Sadly, some fans started heckling them with sexual remarks and racial slurs, until some people alerted security.</p>

<h2>Dwyane Wade Blasts Utah Jazz Fans For Racial Slurs Towards Ja Morant’s Family</h2>
<p>Gladly, all the fans involved in those terrible accidents have received<strong> lifetime bans</strong> from the Sixers, Knicks, and Jazz, respectively. Nonetheless, that still speaks volumes about how some people think of athletes.</p>
<p>That’s why <strong>Dwyane Wade</strong> – who recently became a minority owner of the Jazz – shared his thoughts on Twitter, calling out the racist fans who insulted Morant’s family and encouraging the rest of the world not to turn their backs into these kinds of things:</p>
<p><em><strong>“Ifwe turn our backs on this kind of behavior we’re all apart of the problem. This will not be tolerated! Apologies once again to Ja and his family,” </strong></em>the former NBA Championtweeted.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p>We get it. There’s a lot at stakewhen it comes to the playoffs. <strong>Emotions arise,</strong> nobody likes to lose, and home fans believe it’s up to them to give their teams that extra push to get them over the edge.</p>
<p>Heckling is a part of the game, trash-talking should be always welcome. But there’s a line between talking smack and being racist or disrespectful, so props to the franchises for showing zero tolerance <strong>for that unacceptable behavior.</strong></p>

<p>Being <strong>a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/international-nba-players-taken-1st-overall-in-the-draft-20200805-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">top-3 pick</a></strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/international-nba-players-taken-1st-overall-in-the-draft-20200805-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">,</a> most people around the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <strong>NBA</strong></a> would expect that you <strong>make an instant impact </strong>and show glimpses of superstar potential. However, not all players develop as fast, especially depending on the environment they are in.</p>
<p>That’s why people often compare <strong>RJ Barrett to Zion Williamson or Ja Morant </strong>and feel like he’s an underachiever. But hey, Barrett has shared the floor with an alpha dog in <strong>Julius Randle,</strong> while Morant and Williamson were handed the keys to the offense right away.</p>
<p>Barrett went third in last year’s draft, trailing those two players, and it seems like people just don’t feel like he’s a franchise player. Then again, he’s averaging<strong> 17.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.4 three-pointers per game on 45/38/73 shooting </strong>in just his second season in the league.</p>

<h2>RJ Barrett Says He’s Not Focused In Other Players</h2>
<p>That’s why, when asked about whether he looks up to Zion Williamson or Ja Morant and the way they’ve already turned into stars, the Canadian guard<strong> sounded off </strong>and shut down that narrative right away:</p>
<p><em><strong>“My game speaks for itself. I mean you can look at our numbers, you can look at our team’s success. It doesn’t really matter. </strong>As long as I keep getting better as a player, I’ll be happy,” </em>RJ Barrett told the media, as quoted by <strong>Ian Begley of SNY.</strong></p>
<p>It’s also worth noting that, even if Zion and Morant have better numbers than Barrett, they haven’t even made the playoffs yet, while Barrett<strong> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/new-york-knicks-t92326" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Knicks</a> might as well reach that stage this season.</strong></p>

<h2>Tom Thibodeau Lauds RJ Barrett’s Work Ethic</h2>
<p>Barrett continues to improve as the days go by and he proved it last night, scoring 15 clutch points in the fourth quarter and overtime to give the Knicks a much-needed win over the Raptors. After that game, his coach <strong>Tom Thibodeau</strong> just showered him in praise.</p>
<p><span></span></p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2021/04/09/noticia_0010.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-91">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p><em>“I think<strong> he’s showing his growth and maturity. </strong>He didn’t get rattled. Things weren’t going our way. Just stay the course, fought his way through it. The shooting piece has been huge. And then he’s finishing is vastly improved as well. His all-round play has been terrific. His work ethic is top of the line, his attitude and approach are top of the line. <strong>He’s a team-first guy. He’s 20 years old and he’s only going to get better,”</strong></em> Thibodeau said.</p>
<p>At the end of the day, we shouldn’t get carried away so fast and call him a but. Barrett has worked on his craft and it’s showing. So even if he’s not a dominant force of nature like Zion or an outspoken leader like Ja, he <strong>can still turn out to be pretty great.</strong></p>

<p>You don’t have to be a veteran to <strong>make an impact in the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a>.</strong> In fact, we’re seeing younger superstars every year in the league, as teams don’t want to ‘waste’ their draft picks on players that have spent a lot of years in college.</p>
<p>It’s getting more normal to see <strong>19-year-olds</strong> become first-round picks and even start right away in the NBA, and that’s why most of them are likely to break all kinds of records if they stay healthy.</p>
<p>To be honest, most of the best players in the league right now are young, barring some obvious exceptions like<strong> LeBron James, Kevin Durant, or Stephen Curry.</strong> That’s why today, we’re going to let you know about the 5 best NBA players under 25.</p>

<p>It didn’t take long before <strong>Ja Morant </strong>proved to the rest of the world that he shouldn’t be overlooked. He willed the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/memphis-grizzlies-t100708" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Memphis Grizzlies</a> into playoff contention in his rookie season with his electric dunks, underrated defense, and solid playmaking.</p>
<p>Morant is one of the<strong> most athletic guards</strong> in the league and he shows it with his never-ending energy and has shown some impressive maturity to embrace a leadership role right out of the gate.</p>

<p><strong>Trae Young </strong>went from being one of the flashiest players in the league to being criminally underrated, even being snubbed from this year’s All-Star Game despite posting some impressive numbers.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>There were some obvious concerns regarding <strong>Zion Williamson’s</strong> health due to his weight but now that he’s at full strength, he’s shown that he’s a generational player. He’s way more than just a strong frame.</p>
<p>Besides his strength and athleticism, Zion is quite smart and skilled. He’s got nice footwork and the intangibles to become a superstar, as he’s <strong>scoring at will </strong>against grown men the same way he did in high school and college.</p>

<p>It’s crazy to think that <strong>Jayson Tatum </strong>has yet to turn 25 years old, as it seems like he’s been around the league for ages. Well, no, he’s just 22 and will only get better with the years, which is a scary thought for the rest of the league.</p>
<p>Tatum has one of the most complete and polished offensive repertoires in the league but he’s also a much better defender than people credit him for. Also, he stepped up as the Boston Celtic’s <strong>go-to-guy</strong> at just 20 years old.</p>

<p>Doncic can do it all on the offensive end of the floor, nearly averaging a triple-double. He’s shown that he’s got the clutch gene in him and<strong> will be the face of the NBA</strong> once LeBron’s reign is over.</p>

<p>Even though the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/memphis-grizzlies-t100708" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Memphis Grizzlies</strong></a> haven’t taken the court since January 18, their young star <strong>Ja Morant</strong> is confident he can get his first call for the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/everything-you-need-to-know-about-nba-all-star-game-2021-20201227-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>All-Star Game</strong></a> this season. <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> COVID-19 protocols have prevented the team from playing the last couple of games.</p>
<p>They’re expected to play the San Antonio Spurs this Saturday, trying to return to action winning against a direct rival. Meanwhile, the rookie has found a way to keep motivated and ready to return.</p>
<p>After missing a couple of weeks due to an ankle injury, Morant returned and helped the Grizzlies continue their good streak, winning two games with the player on the lineup, moving to 7-6 in the stacked Western Conference.</p>

<h2>Ja Morant promotes himself for the 2021 NBA All-Star Game</h2>
<p>The Grizzlies were having a great time before the league decided to suspend their games due to health protocols and Ja can’t wait to take the court again and show he’s become an All-Star already, or at least that’s what he’s showing on Twitter.</p>
<p>The No. 2 overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft didn’t waste time and as soon as the league announced that the All-Star Game voting was open, Morant dropped his name, promoting himself for the big game.</p>

To put it in context, we’ll let you know about the<strong> odds for every 2020 <a href="http://nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> award.</strong></p>
<h2>Odds for 2020 NBA Rookie of the Year</h2>
<p>Even though <strong>Zion Williamson </strong>was outstanding and quite impressive early on, the fact that he only played a handful of games took a major toll on his chances of winning the Rookie of the Year award ahead of <strong>Ja Morant</strong>.</p>
