Ja Morant is the Best Player in NBA 2K23 Blacktop

After poring over the latest ratings, attributes, and badges plus actual Blacktop gameplay, it‘s clear that Ja Morant stands head and shoulders above the rest as the most dominant force in 2K23 streetball.

Game-Breaking Athleticism Made for Blacktop

Let‘s start with the obvious – Morant‘s nuclear athleticism translates flawlessly from NBA hardwood to the asphalt courts. His 98 driving dunk and 97 vertical are the stuff of video game cheat codes, allowing Ja to soar for the most spectacular habitual poster dunks you‘ll ever see in basketball gaming.

When it comes to athletic feats, Morant leaves other elite 2K23 players in the dust:

As you can see, Morant‘s freakish bounce and lightning speed gives him a big athleticism advantage suited for Blacktop. He literally flies down the court and soars into the heavens to catch bodies on hapless defenders each and every game.

According to Brandon Conway aka BFresh of NBA 2K Lab:

"Morant‘s elite athleticism, body control, and endless bag of highlight dunks make him the perfect Blacktop player. He turns every possession into a poster and demoralizes opponents."

Ankle-Breaking Ball Handler Built for Iso

While Morant can jump out the gym (and does so frequently), he destroys ankles just as easily thanks to some crazy ball handling skills. Boasting a 90 ball handle rating along with Hall of Fame Quick First Step and Tight Handles badges, it‘s a wrap once Ja starts dancing.

Peep the Crossover and Behind-the-Back badge ratings:

Only Kyrie has better pure ball handling ratings, but lacks Morant‘s athleticism to truly capitalize. In isolation-heavy Blacktop, Ja can break defenders down off the dribble at will and has the burst to finish strong or drop dimes with ease.

As stageofdevelopmenttv proclaimed: "Ja snatching ankles on Blacktop! Cross to behind the back combo is lethal."

Elite Finishing + Clutch Shooting and Playmaking

Now you understand why Morant is such a problem – he has nuclear hops to dunk everything with a potent hesi game to create space at a moment‘s notice. This deadly combo allows him easy access to the rim off the bounce whenever he wants. If help comes, Morant boasts slick playmaking skills to fire passes on target through tight windows.

Morant‘s inside finishing and distribution ratings allow him to score and facilitate at a high level, especially late in games. And if they dare leave him open, Ja can splash just enough triples (78 3PT) to make em pay.

According to iiTzChas of CHAS GAMING – "For Blacktop, Ja is easily the most versatile offensive player who can takeover games by himself. He‘ll have you looking silly."

Pesky Defensive Menace

Off ball pest. On ball bully. Morant is a defensive dynamo ready to jump passing lanes and body up much bigger players not used to his physicality and quick hands.

Peep the defensive ratings:

Ja has the tools to seriously disrupt opponents with tenacious on and off-ball defense. You‘ll get plenty of steal-to-score transition buckets and chasedown blocks.

As TyDeBo proclaimed: "Ja LOCKED my guard up and had me clamped all game! Mans was pick pocketing me all day."

When all is said and done, Ja Morant‘s rare combination of nuclear athleticism, ankle-breaking moves, highlight finishing, distribution, clutch shooting, and pesky defense make him a certified problem on NBA 2K23‘s Blacktop scene.

He simply has no weakness in streetball and all the sauce in the world to turn any game into his own personal mixtape.

So if you want to catch bodies, break ankles, splash some jumpers, and get some stops, Ja Morant is clearly the best player you can choose in 2K23 Blacktop. Believe the hype and see for yourself!
