Memphis Grizzlies

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has one of the best basketball shoes out right now. The Nike Ja 1 is not only comfortable, but comes in several different colorways that make it a perfect shoe for any player at any level.

Morant has seen his shoe take off at the youth basketball level, but they are also popular among college and professional players as well. Several of Morant's current and former teammates rock his signature Ja 1 sneakers, and the Grizzlies star point guard recently surprised his teammates with brand new pairs:

Despite being out for the rest of the season due to shoulder surgery, Morant has been a very involved teammate. The Grizzlies have benefited just from having him around the team, as his presence helps lift their spirits during what has been a very frustrating season.

For Memphis, the season ending injury to Morant was just the biggest blow to what had been an already disastrous season. This season of course began with Morant's 25 game suspension, and continued going downhill from there with injury after injury to key players, including Morant himself.

Gestures like this from the star point guard are what make him such a great leader for this team. He may not be on the court, but Morant is still very much involved with his Grizzlies teammates.
