Following a recent matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Memphis Grizzlies, LeBron James took a moment to commend Grizzlies rookie GG Jackson for his performance.
James reminisced about watching Jackson play live at Peach Jam a couple of years ago, where he showcased his skills for Chris Paul’s Team CP3 and left a lasting impression.
Recalling Jackson’s decision to forgo his senior year and head straight to South Carolina for college, James highlighted his rapid development and growth as a player.
“He’s gotten better and better every time he stepped out on the floor,” the four-time NBA champion said about Jackson.
At just 19 years old, Jackson has made significant contributions to the Grizzlies this season, averaging 13.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1 assist per game in 23.9 minutes per game.
His impressive stat line includes two 30-point games and multiple outings with over 20 points.
