Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant vowed last December to stop dunking in the name of self-preservation. After battling multiple injuries attributed to awkward landings and hard falls, Morant said that he was omitting dunks, a trademark part of his game.

Yes, Ja Morant dunked all over Hector Banana-Bread -- er, Victor Wembanyama after the whistle on Wednesday night in the Memphis Grizzlies' win over the San Antonio Spurs. But no matter. This was sick.

Everyone stops but Ja. He made up his mind that he was dunking on Big Vic right there, no matter what happens next. Meanwhile, Wemby isn’t even fully in position. He slows on his rotation because of the whistle and then gives a half-hearted contest once Morant is in the air and jumping into his chest.

Victor Wembanyama may be the single most imposing rim protector in NBA history. He's only in his second season, but his combination of elite athleticism for his size, stellar shot-blocking instincts and absurd eight-foot wingspan makes him a nearly impenetrable obstacle for drivers at the basket.

Ja Morant is back doing Ja Morant things. He connected on one of his signature ferocious slam dunks, this time over the 7' 3" phenom Victor Wembanyama. However, the dunk went down after the whistle and didn't actually count.

San Antonio Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama was the recipient of the vicious one-handed dunk late in the fourth quarter against the Memphis Grizzlies and, for two seconds, got Malik Beasley and Jakob Poeltl off the hook after they were posterized previously by Morant.

Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant didn't care that he dunked on Victor Wembanyama after being asked about it postgame.

Wembanyama had 13 points and 12 rebounds for San Antonio when all was said and done. While the dunk didn’t count on the scoreboard, it’s sure to remain a memorable one for basketball fans.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant went viral for his wild poster dunk on San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama after the whistle.

This would have been an all-time great dunk for Ja Morant over Wemby, but sadly it didn’t count.

Memphis Grizzlies stars Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. are both in the mix for the NBA All-Star game in San Francisco next month.
