Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant has no regard for human life when he gets downhill and attacks the basket.
It doesn't matter who is in between him and the rim, if Morant gets his sights set on the hoop, he's going to attempt to jump through, or over, anyone standing in his way.
The 22-year-old has been a walking highlight reel all season and he added to his collection of internet-breaking moments with the poster dunk of the playoffs so far in Game 5 against the Timberwolves.
Morant had struggled to this point in the game but in an effort to wake himself up, the All-Star guard detonated on Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley to end the third quarter.
It's one of the filthiest in-game dunks you will ever see.

And why not a still-shot for the bedroom poster?

This wasn't the only Morant highlight you'll see from this contest, either. Despite a slow first three quarters, Morant shifted his game into another gear after that dunk, erupting for 18 points in the fourth quarter.
His efforts brought the Grizzlies all the way back into the game, only to cap things off with a game-winning layup in the final second.

Morant finished with 30 points, 13 rebounds, nine assists, three steals, two must-see highlight-reel plays and one massive win to give the Grizzlies a 3-2 lead in their series with the Timberwolves.
Morant is no stranger to putting players on a poster. Earlier this season, the Grizzlies guard threw it down on Spurs' Jakob Poeltl.
Which one was better?
