Recently, Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry made a strong statement about Morant (via Good Good).

Curry: "Ja Morant, I think he's pound-for-pound the most athletic dude in the league."

Considering Curry is one of the best 15 players in NBA history, many fans will likely enjoy seeing his comment.

This past season, the Warriors beat the Grizzlies in the play-in tournament.

Morant was picked second by the Grizzlies in the 2019 NBA Draft.

He has made two NBA All-Star Games over that span.
