The NBA is not lacking in talent at the point guard position, and with the amount of talent across the League, it\u2019s easy to forget about some, like Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant.<\/p>\n
One factor that has helped Morant succeed as much as he has in the League is his confidence and swag. Morant is known for his aggressive playstyle, preferring to fearlessly attack the basket similarly to former MVPs and legends like Allen Iverson, Derrick Rose, and Russell Westbrook. <\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t fear nobody, dawg. I don\u2019t care if you 7\u20197\u2033 or whatever. I\u2019m coming straight at you.\u201d<\/p>\n
For example, In the Grizzles\u2019 110-106 victory over the Cavaliers, Morant scored six points in the final 30 seconds of the fourth quarter, including the go-ahead field goal that extended the Grizzlies\u2019 win streak to six. Morant\u2019s final tally for the night was a team-high 26 points, five rebounds, and dished out six assists. <\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Morant admitted that he loves being the guy to take clutch shots, and as a point guard, knows his job is to make the right play, whether that\u2019s him shooting or passing. Morant has posted 30.7 points and 6.2 assists during the Grizzlies\u2019 six-game win streak.\u00a0<\/p>\n
