  • Memphis Grizzlies star guard Ja Morant hinted at a possible appearance in the Slam Dunk Competition while the 2025 Slam Dunk Competition is taking place. Morant is one of the more electrifying players in the NBA. He is arguably the most athletic player in the league; however, we have yet to see it on display in NBA All-Star Saturday night.

Ja Morant, the Memphis Grizzlies' star, has hinted at participating in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest following an impressive performance by Mac McClung at the 2023 event. McClung, a G-League player, won the contest with a series of spectacular dunks, including a 540-degree spin, which has reignited interest in the competition. Morant, known for his high-flying dunks, expressed his interest by posting on social media, suggesting he might join the contest next year. This comes after years of fans and analysts urging top NBA talents like Morant to participate, hoping to elevate the event's prestige and excitement.
