I didn’t know who he was until the other day where the Clippers elected him to shoot fts for bane. Only to see from then on that he’s Lowkey nice at hoops
Players that I'm sure were some of his idols growing up not only interviewing him, but joking around with him too!? ("ask him how many rings I got GG!" 😂). Yep, definitely forever!
Nearly brought a tear to my eye, always beautiful seeing someone fulfilling their dream. Not even a big NBA fan but I wish GG Jackson all the best in his career.
@@jeromecastro3051 its funny how people are quick to point out satanic things but you never hear them point out spiritual things or see them do anything godly... why is that?
Young, skilled humble, respectful. Coachable. Not sure what more you could hope for out of a draft pick. This kid was the biggest steal of the draft, mark my words. Keep doing your thing my guy.
Mannnn...This kid is going places, whether its the NBA or whatever choice he makes in life. What a GREAT example of what a Young Man Should be. Period....A True Role Model for our Youths!!! Love this period, makes me believe there is hope for our youth.
The respect and humbleness of this young man. " I take every rep seriously. Be it in practice or the G League. Listening to my coaches and doing what's asked of me." The "Yes Sirs" and "Yes Maam's", out of respect, seem to just naturally pour out of him. Love it. Good game as well.
A lot of people around my age (I’m 21) don’t know how to act or respect those around them or who came before them properly but this guy really does. Respect to him and his whole mentality. Dude was raised right, I hope he has a long prosperous nba career and is part of the league full time soon and not switching back and fourth between the g league. Maybe the Heat could pick him up. They know how to make players like him into better versions of themselves
@@TheHoward27 narcissist? I agree Heat culture is heavily overblown but I think that type of model is good for all nba teams to follow and I’m sure they do to an extent
I will be 24 this year. It's mostly the younger GenZ that makes older GenZ look bad. Then again you have to factor in the parents. My parents were born in the 60s. Somewhere around the late genX early millennial era, is where parenting got soft. There are plenty of GenZ who were raised right, we're just overlooked by the baby GenZs unfortunately 😑
Man he is super well spoken to be so young. I couldn’t imagine getting on air like this and not stuttering. Super happy for him and I hope he has a ton of success in the league.
Can you imagine how well he’d interview had he gone to college for four years? Almost certain this young man didn’t take school for granted and worked hard in the classroom. Much respect to him for his accomplishments so far.
Wow this interview made me love this kid. Throw me on the GG Jackson bandwagon. What a humble, mature, and respectful kid. His attitude and grace will take him far
Y’all don’t know how happy Grizzlies fans are tonight!! This season has been more of a roller coaster than anybody’s, including the Pistons. Between GG & Vince Williams Jr, we’re so happy to have these hungry young guys stepping up!
GG Jackson is an extremely talented basketball player. The grizzlies got lucky and got him a year ahead of when he was expected to be drafted (next year). He was expected by scouts to be a top 10 first round pick.
As an OKC fan, I’m rooting for this kid. Memphis injuries to their main guys sucks but this lowkey might be a blessing in disguise. Use this time to develop the other guys like GG, Vince Williams, and the potential of adding another lottery pick this year. Or even flipping that pick for a potential high end role player could be interesting. Memphis will be back strong next year
I saw GG at LAX after and workout for the lakers and before he was drafted. Glad to see this. We talked before the flight and hes a good down to earth kid living his dream. Congratulations man
I am a diehard grizz fan and the only thing about this awful season of injuries is having this wonderful kid and Vince step up. Memphis is a serious team.
This is so awesome. In that moment he realized he made it. Prior to that he had his head down grinding working on his skill. The stats didn’t matter because he hadn’t hit his goal. When he heard Shaq post game he realized he’s on his way. I’m excited to see if he can keep up the momentum!
GG got ALOT of potential that’s the key word with bro, he reclassified from HS last year to go to South Carolina a year early, he got the build you’d want for a wing in todays league
GG actually lit up in awe when he heard Shaq's voice!! Young man showing love and respect to those who came before him. If only kids in this country would do the same....it would be a better place.
Clips like this is why I'm always rooting for the rookies. They're young, don't know what the hell is going on half the time, but they're just happy to be there 🤣🤣🤣
Other than Shaq doing that corny thing he always does, this was super dope to watch. Just a kid with his whole life ahead of him genuinely shocked by interacting with one of his role models. Gotta love it.
That’s how you know he’s gonna be great, he’s not cocky, not throwing shade at the team he beat or their best player, not even acting too cool about it. Just humble and proud. I’m. now a big fan
A lot of shine gets put on the high highs and low lows in life. But it's the small moments that are truly to be cherished and the that was one of them. Great interview TNT!
I just FELL IN LOVE with this kid. He, like Stroud reminds me of my sons - respectful, articulate, humbled, and principled. We need MORE young black men like these
What stood out most about the youngster is the utmost respect he had for Chuck and Shaq two all time greats. Most these young guys dont know their history and just see the old heads as old haters
Lakers diehard fan here, i want this young man to become a star for yall..Still hate the Grizz but much respect to this young man, hes very level headed for his age👌🏾
What an amazing young man. His enlightening smile and overwhelmingly intelligent and polite demeanor will take him to great places in the NBA and much greater success off the court in LIFE! So refreshing and inspiring for the future. 🤩

I don't know too much about the young man, but it's obvious that he's being raised the right way. Shout out to his parents!
Or just a fan
@@BraylonJ I was referring to him addressing everyone on the panel as either "sir" or "ma'am". Unfortunately, that's not too common nowadays.
I didn’t know who he was until the other day where the Clippers elected him to shoot fts for bane. Only to see from then on that he’s Lowkey nice at hoops
Thats a southern raised kid. We went to school together and he hung around the right crowd. Super humble guy
Love to see a respectful, well spoken young man enjoy success like this.
This kid's respect, humility, and knowledge of the game will take him even further than his skills.
Agreed!
Um respect and knowledge of the game won’t get him on the court but his skills will💀
Thank you
you better believe it will score more opportunities and healthy relationships on top of the skill.@@Scoreylol

He looked like a kid on Christmas morning. I love my Grizzlies man. He’s gonna remember that forever😅😊

Im happy the city won tonight, but his reaction to hearing Shaq was awesome 😂
Go Grizzlies!!
I want this kid to go far , his reaction when he heard shaq’s voice was priceless

He ain’t beating Jayson Tatum though. That boi only turned 19 too. Future rivalry.

That's amazing. Humility and respectful. His parents and support have done it right. Rooting for him to see out his dreams!!
19 doing big things and sounds like a really good dude. Keep it rolling man

@freeaccount8571 didn’t mention him. He seems like a good guy too.

@@AlexisCortes-gf8xo not a memphis or okc fan but that would be really fun to watch
If GG gonna be going in like this as he develop we might already have our starting sf. Just have 2 get stronger
I agree young guys will get chances they normally wouldn't get.
Shaq is Awesome both on the court & off . He is a real life hero as he loves all of us. He never let his fame alter who he is.
Man this kid warmed my heart man. God fearing wise humble kid. Hope he does well in the league and outside things don’t take his light 🙏🏿
Memphis got a good one with this pick
So humble, rooting for him

When every young guy in the NBA tryning to talk ganster it's refreshing to see a young man that's well spoken and knows how to present himself.
happy for this kid man, you can tell he's mature and respectful beyond his years.
Love this kid. Hard worker and respectful young man. Maybe there is still hope for the next generation.
Made me smile
19 is crazy

Shaq was my favorite player since 1993. I had the same reaction when I first met him. Had all his Reebok shoes and Albums!

The title is correct, he fanned out. That was nice to see this kid wholeheartedly appreciate this milestone moment in his life.

You know he's gonna be bragging about that moment with Shaq to his family. Guarantee they showed him Shaq's highlights when he was a kid
As a longtime Gamecocks fan, it warms my heart to see NBA on TNT recognize GG Jackson. I’m praying he continues to stay humble and master his craft.
Need more guys like this in the NBA very respectful to legends like Shaq and Charles Barkley!
Respect to him bro underdog man tonight showed he had that dawg in him I hope he can keep going with his career in the NBA
