"Anthony Edwards couldn't dream of doing this" - NBA fans lose it as Ja Morant unofficially dunks all over Victor Wembanyama 

Ja Morant's Memphis Grizzlies took on Victor Wembanyama's San Antonio Spurs in a Western Conference clash on Wednesday night. In a matchup full of highlights, one play from Morant reigned supreme over every contender.

With the game decided late in the third quarter, Morant blew by Spurs rookie Stephon Castle, who fouled the Grizzlies All-Star, which drew a whistle from referees. In the game's rapid pace, Morant met Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama, throwing down a ferocious posterizing dunk over the Defensive Player of the Year frontrunner.

Though the play didn't count due to Castle's foul on Morant, the dunk caused an uproar from fans on social media.

"JA MORANT DUNKED ON WEMBY AFTER THE WHISTLE," a Grizzlies fan account exclaimed with a video of the dunk.

"Nah yo, this counts," a fan declared in the comments. "Dead ball or not. My goodness."

"That whistle saved (Victor Wembanyama's) career," another fan added.

Some fans came to the defense of Wembanyama, arguing the play was due to the foul on Morant prior to the dunk.

"You mean after the whistle with Wemby not trying to seriously contest," a fan questioned in the comments, arguing against the post's caption.

"Doesn't count," another fan argued. "Just the same old wannabe."

"It don't count. Why we posting this," a third fan commented questioningly.

Ja Morant shines in win over Spurs

At the time of Ja Morant's dunk over Wembanyama, the game was well out of hand in Memphis' favor. The Grizzlies went on to secure a convincing 129-115 win over San Antonio, spearheaded by the efforts of Morant and several other key performances for Memphis.

Morant led the way for the Grizzlies, scoring 21 points on 9-of-13 shooting. He finished with a game-high 12 assists in the double-double effort, adding four rebounds and two steals. Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. added 21 points and 19 points, respectively, with Jackson adding six rebounds and two blocks on the defensive end.

Off the bench for the Grizzlies, rising star Santi Aldama notched a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double, while Luke Kennard added 15 points, shooting 5-of-9 from 3-point range.

"Wemby" held his own despite a poor shooting night, notching 13 points, 12 rebounds and a jaw-dropping eight blocks.

With the win, Memphis advances to 26-15 on the year and will be back in San Antonio for a matchup versus the Spurs on Friday night.
