Dancers, artists, musicians and Ja: Masters of the performing arts
“I feel like if I was a dancer, I would have that touch like Michael Jackson had,” says Ja Morant (putting up a shot against Utah Jazz defender Mike Conley on May 31, 2021). “I would be able to just look at somebody and they would faint. I want it to be like that.” (Mark Weber/Daily Memphian file)
Local artists compared Ja Morant’s game to jazz soloists, ballet dancers and brush strokes within a mural. The Grizzlies point guard is building his masterpiece in his third season.
