Ja Morant is the most entertaining player in the NBA.
As if we needed more evidence on top of the mountain of highlights Morant has amassed, I present an early Dunk of the Year candidate — Morant switching hands midair for the throwdown against the Pelicans.
The hand switch into the dunk is ridiculous, Ja.

Morant finished with 36 points but it wasn’t enough against the Zion-less Pelicans (out with a right foot contusion), who had a 30-point, nine-assist night from CJ McCollum plus 19 each from Brandon Ingram and Larry Nance Jr.
