“The kid is super special,” said James, “Like I said when we just played him in L.A., Memphis got a great one. They got a great one. So, the sky’s the limit for the kid.”

“That’s big bro — the King,” Morant said. “I mean, I feel like everybody knows who he is. Just somebody that I look up to, a great role] model. He’s just one a kind. I don’t think there can be another LeBron.”

Morant finished with 27 points, 14 assists and 6 rebounds in the dominating victory. He easily outplayed James who scored 19 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds. 

In the second half, Morant attempted a dunk on Lakers’ big man Anthony Davis but was called for a charge; however, the sheer athleticism the play was enough for it to make highlight reels.

“I think he would probably try anyone that was there,” Davis said the play. “He’s done that a couple times this year. So I’m just trying to get a body in front him and make him run me over.”
