Steph Curry Identifies Ja Morant as NBA's Most Athletic Player
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant has been lauded by Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry as the NBA's most athletic player, with Curry specifically calling him "pound for pound" the most athletic. Morant's dynamic play, marked by his electric dunks, scoring prowess, speed, handles, and clutch shooting, has earned him significant accolades including the 2019-20 Rookie of the Year, 2021-22 Most Improved Player, and two All-Star selections. While Morant has reportedly decreased his frequency of dunks to prioritize his health, he continues to be recognized for his exceptional athleticism, and he and Curry share a mutual respect from their high-profile matchups, including one where Morant played through an ankle injury.
