Gameplay Tips to Rock Like Ja…

Slam Those Dunks:

Ja Morant lives for thunderous rim attacks. With a 93 Driving Dunk, you’ll crush nasty slams that fire up the crowd. Add Gold Posterizer to ensure you’re jamming with flair. Boost your Vertical to 80 so you’re grabbing lobs and dunking on defenders . Remember to use Hall of Fame Arial Wizard to pull off those mind-blowing lob finishes.

Hit from Downtown:

Your 94 Three-Point Shot means you’ll score from beyond the arc… use Gold Limitless Range to shoot from deep and keep defenders guessing. With Mini Marksman; you’ll have a bigger green window making it easier to nail those threes whether you’re standing still or moving.

Dribble Like a Pro:

With a 93 Ball Handle and Speed With Ball, you’ll weave through defenders. Add Hall of Fame Ankle Breaker to make defenders stumble and Hall of Fame Handles For Days to keep your dribble moves crisp. This build allows you to cross up opponents & create openings like Ja so use those tricks to zoom past defenders and reach the hoop.

Fast Break Expert:

Your 90 Speed will help you race down the court on fast breaks. Use this to score easy baskets and challenge defenders who can’t match your pace. Take advantage of your Speed With Ball to rush past defenders and either dunk or shoot an open shot.

Playmaking Wizard:

With an 85 Pass Accuracy, you’ll be handing out assists and making showy passes. Add Bailout to your skills to rescue your passes if you read the play wrong or need to pass at the last second. This setup works great to run plays and ensure your teammates score their points.

Defensive Weak Spots:

Let’s be honest—this build focuses on offense. With poor Interior Defense and Steal, you can’t stop opponents. That’s why you need to play with teammates who excel on defense.
