The Internet, perhaps the greatest collection of knowledge ever assembled in human history, seems to be lacking somewhat in the “NBA highlights of Jaren Jackson” department. I’m talking about the father of the Jaren Jackson seen here. The Internet is definitely not lacking in highlights of his son, thanks in no small part to my…

Jaren Jackson 23 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2019)
For some reason the Grizzlies decided that this game would be a perfect game to start emulating what the elite teams in the league do. You know what I’m talking about: Load management! Never mind that the players that had their loads managed were two rookies, Ja Morant and (relevant to the content of this…

Brevin Knight (the Grizzlies’ color commentator, for those who, like me, don’t really know the names of the people behind the mics) sure seemed to be adamant about Jaren Jackson taking it inside and not “settling” for outside shots. Um, did he not see Jackson’s first ever Summer League game? You know, the one where…

NBA historians will look back on this day as day one (or day zero?) of the Jaren Jackson Jr. era in Memphis. This is the day that Marc Gasol was traded to the Raptors, breaking up the iconic Gasol/Conley duo that had endured for a decade. This is the day that the Grizzlies moved on…

The Grizzlies are collapsing (ignore this win), but they’re still playing rotations like a playoff team. Give it a rest, Bickerstaff. No one wants to see Shelvin Mack anymore. Same as last year, it took them a while to realize that what they really should be doing is tanking. And see what that got them!…

Remember when the Grizzlies started the season strong and were actually sort of good for a little while? I think they were even the first seed in the West for a short period of time after a five-game winning streak in late November. However, as with all things in life, good things are doomed to…

So I was looking at Jaren Jackson’s game log, and I was like “wow this guy fouls a lot!”, because he has so many games with 4 or 5 or even the dreaded 6 fouls. So then I’m like “I bet he’s leading the league in fouls!” and I go and check and he totally…

Two of the highest-profile Jacksons in the NBA met head-to-head tonight. One was a Jackson Junior, but I still think he counts as a Jackson for my purposes. The question is, which Jackson came out ahead? DTB will factually analyze the factual facts, using truth and logic, and at the end of this glorious process,…

Jaren Jackson, with 25 seconds left in the game and the shot clocking winding down, showed LeBron James his “Jaren Jackson Juniors”* with a big stepback triple to put the game away. For now I’m just going to ignore the existence of Isaac Bonga and talk about how impressive it is that the youngest player…

It’s funny, the Memphis commentators had the distinct tone of “let’s wrap up this game with some statistical tidbits because there’s no way we’re going to win this one” which switched right into “frenzied excitement due to the un-freaking-believable nature of the happenings occurring before our eyes” as Jaren Jackson hit a three while getting…
