Curry praised Morant: The first athlete in the league today, Westbrook and Wall when they were young

July 21st News Basketball superstar Stephen Curry talked about NBA stars while participating in a golf challenge, and gave the highest athletic talent praise to the young leader of the Grizzlies - Ja Morant.

"In my opinion, Jia is the most athletic player in the league today," Curry said with a smile in an interview. "This reminds me of Russell Westbrook and John Wall at the peak, who were also recognized as a ceiling of athletic talent at that time." What Curry admired was the dominance Morant showed on the basketball court when he was healthy. His lightning-like start speed combined with amazing bounces, and once he rushes into the penalty area, the defender often can only be the background board. Morant combines violent aesthetics with soft feel and treats the basket as his canvas.

As the absolute offensive core of the Grizzlies, Morant has played in 307 regular season games so far in his career, and has averaged 22.6 points, 7.4 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game, and contributed 1 steal at the same time. His overall shooting percentage is close to 50%, showing efficient finishing ability.

Morant's talent and performance have long conquered the top stars in the league. Curry's public endorsement is not only a recognition of the young man's talent, but also a deep expectation for his healthy return and continued shining. In the new season, a fully-fitting Morant will surely make Memphis' future full of imagination.
