Can you imagine showing up to your local basketball camp only to find the Memphis Grizzlies’ all-star point guard as your coach for the day? For a group of lucky kids at Streets Ministries basketball camp, this became a reality! Ja Morant, in collaboration with Nike Basketball, made a surprise appearance, turning an ordinary weekend into an unforgettable one.
ALL ABOUT SKILLS, DRILLS, AND THRILLS!
12 didn’t just bring the fun and games. Morant was there to teach too! The young players got a chance to hone their skills under his expert guidance. From perfecting their slam dunks to weaving through defenses, it was a skills camp that went beyond the ordinary. But the lessons weren’t just about basketball. Morant also emphasized the importance of self-belief and staying focused amidst distractions.
TAKE TEAMWORK TO THE NEXT LEVEL
With Morant at the helm, the young athletes also got a lesson in the real value of teamwork. After all, basketball isn’t just about scoring points; it’s about working together, supporting each other, and learning to play as a team. Morant instilled in them the importance of staying locked in and remembering your end goals.
Swag Alert: Gear Up with Nike!
Morant didn’t come empty-handed. Each of the young Memphias received Nike backpacks and other amazing gear, including a pair of the coveted Ja 1s! And to top it all off, they got T-shirts with the inspiring slogan “only basketball”!
