How Ja Morant Uses His Basketball IQ To Dominate The Game

Ja Morant is one of the upcoming superstars that is known for his supreme athleticism and driving ability. However, his IQ is what really separates him from a lot of the other rising stars. Today, I go over how he was able to dominate the Warriors in Games 1 and 2 using his brain. If you enjoyed the video, like & subscribe.

[@Gogogo1315]

This is why I never liked the Westbrook comparisons early on in Ja's career. He came into the league waaaay better at being a primary ball handler.

[@MultiWolfstorm]

Because people don't usually kick the ball out as late into the drive as Ja and Russ do. That's the similarity I see. Otherwise, I think Ja is just a better all around offensive player.

[@Gogogo1315]

​@@MultiWolfstorm Yeah, a lot of it was just them both being uber athletic guards.

[@MichaelKing015]

The people are saying he is Westbrook with a brain though

[@minogabe]

He ran the floor really well in his rookie season and people seem to overlook it a bit, even tho he got ROTY. He didn't score as much as last season, ofc, but his IQ caught my attention very early on, he came into the NBA running the offense like a veteran.

[@idontpass22]

John Wall 2.0 sprinkled with Westbrook

[@llkla4507]

he is the textbook definition of “taking what the defense gives you”

[@GetPapeStayOutTheWay]

simpe basketball, but the problem with this is the Defense might be baiting and trapping you in your own decision making if that makes sense

[@Yungteasipppppa]

@@GetPapeStayOutTheWayhe’s too smart to fall for that

[@BarryDonegan]

Ja goes left a lot because as a child on a trampoline he broke his right arm and it messed up the development of his right arm and his right arm is significantly shorter than his left arm. the time spent without his dominant arm while it healed also allowed him to develop ambidexterity

[@rockysalvatore435]

Damn makes me view him different and kinda like Bird. Starting to like him despite him being a low IQ individual lol At least he's decent at basketball

[@GetPapeStayOutTheWay]

damnnn ian ever know that, i had just looked it up on reddit he told tha whole story damnnnnn

[@Freddy2heem]

That happened to me too

[@BarryDonegan]

@@Freddy2heem me too kind of as well. I got in a car accident and had 14 pins and four plates put in my right forearm and now it's a little bit bent and I had to go 6 months without using it, so I just hooped with my left hand the whole time and now I can shoot jump shots with either my left or right hand based on which side of the defender is on

[@aarht]

Yoooo

[@sloden9074]

Can you do a video on Giannis IQ since arenas said he doesn’t know the game of basketball

Yes he do.

[@yomomshouse100]

6'11 freak athlete with 7'4 wingspan requires the skill and iq of a highschooler to be a nba mvp. You cant act like giannis is not a freak, i know everyone is a fan and wants to make giannis more than what he is but yall needa chill.

[@n0lat]

Now he needs street iq

[@Error-zg4po]

If he can get better defense and shooting he will be a top 5 player in the league

[@auentic]

he will definitely need it because you can’t rely on athleticism your entire career.

[@Kap_NYC]

@@auentic Exactly, we all know you're athletic as fuck. But if you can also shoot that motherfucker at least consistently then you'll be respected and in the league for more than a decade

[@44chrome]

The only way I see his defense improving is if he puts on more muscle

[@irecipherus7150]

@@internetspectator6051 No, he needs to improve his defensive IQ. Being able to anticipate your opponents moves before they make them allows you to dictate how the offense plays. He should keep his current muscle, maybe add a little bit more to lessen the impact of bumps while defending the drive.

[@rockysalvatore435]

I say top 7 lol. 5 is too stacked. He really shied away from stopping curry which was disappointing

[@seanthompson1950]

Ja is going to take the Grizz to the next level!

this is why ja my fav player he is explosive and fun to watch yet every move that he makes is calculated thats why if he gets too injured i aint too worried cause he should still be a good player. Although he def need to improve his defence when on court and his shooting.

Ja drives like Westbrook but passes and shoots better, and that's why he's so good, in my opinion.

[@OGSauceDaddy]

I disagree Ja drives with a plan and a series of moves and counter moves. Russ runs full speed and tries to figure shit out that second

Lol Morants secret has been revealed recently. He so good at finishing, dribbling, etc with his left because his left arm is longer than his right arm lol he said “y’all still can’t stop it” tho.

Warriors know Grizz cant shoot, so as long as the warriors keep the Grizz out of the paint they can win.

I think Jimmy Butler and Denis Schroder can become the thinking chess player type.

Taylor Jenkins and Ja are such perfect leaders for this team. They've created and led the best team culture in the NBA right now

For sure will keep that in mind

[@jaykua6193]

I like his voice and tone, personally. He sounds like an educator of the game.

[@carsn6244]

@@DanielLi7 yeah fuck det tbh you just being authentic and it’s educational af i think you’re chillin

[@spit4007]

when curry was guarding morant at 2:21, you can see curry was going back and predicting his move so what i would have done if take a stepback for a mid range jumper once curry shifted fully and towards where ja was supposedly heading and wouldve been off balance if ja took a stepback because his momentum was fully that way, therefore it would give ja a little more time to shoot and it wouldve been harder to block because curry's off-balance. i think ja has to take more mid range jumpers and get good at it if hes in predictable situations like that

[@osirisra1476]

Morant palms the ball more than anyone else in the L. Take that away and it's a lot easier to stay in front of him.

[@ualreadykno2K]

can you make a lamelo iq video

[@DanielLi7]

I will consider it

Just no. Ja is a great offensive player but commits all his energy to offense. He needs to switch gears and become a defensive help

[@garorade]

ain't no way bruh you don't even play in the NBA how can you tell him to do a complete switch on his role

[@RonnieTon]

You are really tough, I love Ja's game he has the BBall knowledge that excites me. I wish he could rely more on his jumpers he had an entire off-season to improve that hopefully he changes it entirely on convert more of them

love the video keep up the good work

[@timeflies313]

I know this video is about complimenting Ja’s game, but I just can’t ignore the amount of carries he did all throughout the video. Basketball has really changed a lot. The dribble moves he does is similar to those dribble moves Isaiah Thomas used to do back when he was with the Celtics. And I remember all the drama that resulted from that, especially when that one Bulls coach called him out. And here we are a few years later, and Morant is just casually doing what IT was doing back then and nobody bats an eye.
