Kevin Durant gave Ja Morant a big compliment after his 360-degree layups

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant shocked the sports world when he completed not one, but two 360 layups on Monday night – including his NBA counterpart, Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant.

Durant gave Morant a pretty big compliment when talking to Kay Adams about the incredible moves Up & Adams. He called the 25-year-old the “sportiest person” he had ever seen. Wow.

“My goodness,” Durant said. “The most athletic person I’ve ever seen… I didn’t want to give him that because he’s young and there have been a lot of great athletes in the history of sports, but come on. To make it work so smoothly.”, so simple, it’s ridiculous. He is a top athlete.

These are the two plays Durant is referring to.

Adams joked that Durant would have to try that move next. But Durant said if he attempted a 360 layup like Morant did, it would appear “washed out” and look like “garbage.” It doesn’t sound like he’ll be attempting this move any time soon, if ever.
