A remarkable story about Ja Morant dates back to his college beginnings. Unlike many NBA stars, he received almost no attention from recruiters while in high school. It was almost by chance that a Murray State Racers recruiter discovered him in 2016. While attending a camp to scout another player, the recruiter spotted Morant in a secondary gym, where he was dominating every game. Impressed by his explosiveness and court vision, he immediately offered him a scholarship. A few years later, Morant was selected 2nd overall in the 2019 NBA Draft by the Memphis Grizzlies and quickly became one of the league’s most spectacular players, known for his incredible dunks and highly explosive style of play. This story is often cited as one of the most famous examples of a talent discovered almost by accident who went on to become an NBA superstar.
