Uh GG Jackson off of his big night 23 points has the headset on court side there at FedEx forum uh GG look I’m I’m just going to presume that when you got to the when you got to the Arena tonight the last thing on your mind I’m
Thinking the last thing on your mind when you got to the Arena tonight was you know what at the end of this game I’m probably going to be talking to Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal and Candace Parker uh but you are that was not the first thing that was not the
First thing this is a dream come true it’s an honor to get to talk to all of y’all and uh you know it’s an honor to be a part of this franchise and get to play against Great teams yeah you just I mean you’ve just turned 19 years old man
Um first year out of South Carolina tell me what it’s like when you’ve been playing g-league games to be in this Arena on MLK Day against the team that won the championship has Steph Curry two years ago uh you know playing with the G Le you got to to take every game seriously
Uh you know I try to play every game just like it’s an NBA game cuz that’s the ultimate goal to want to stay on this floor and you know all glory be to God you know I’ve been staying down putting the work in uh listening to
Everything the coach is telling me to do and uh just trying to be as coachable as possible GG sha here I don’t have any questions I just want to say congratulations Young fella you played a hell of a game and people didn’t know who you were they know who you are now

Shooting coach I’ve never been able to shoot the ball like this in my life and uh you know the whole g-league uh coaching staff as well they’ve been a a great support to me and uh just like I said before you got to take every rep seriously whether it’s you know G league
Practice or you know as it I got my opportunity tonight so I had to take this seriously as well GG um you know obviously you were probably at home last year watching the NBA uh dreaming to be on the stage uh growing up who was a player that you modeled your game
After um it’s kind of a mixture you know a little bit of Kevin Durant Lil LeBron uh my first pair of basketball shorts had a 23 on it and Michael Jordan for a long period of time was the only basketall player uh basketball player
Who I know knew so I tried to just take different aspects of everybody game and just mold them into one GG Jackson has played eight games in the NBA he had a career-high 20 the other night a career-high 23 tonight and I I don’t know when I’ve Eno enjoyed a

That's so wholesome to see
Great kid !!!!!
19? Wow
Man what a humble kid. Wish him the best for the rest of his career.
Wholesome content 🔥🔥🔥
love GG
I love Ernie. He’s such a genuinely caring person.
Great interview 👍 My favorite Grizz player now.
Yo’ this kids respect!! He’s going to be loved by the people
Imma follow young dude career now. I hope he gets a chance to prevail to stardom. This his chance while Ja Morant is out rn. Keep cooking on that court youngin.🙏
💪🏾
Humble kid I love it
Thats so good
Bro looks like NBA Youngboy 😂😂
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
South Carolina baby
It was incredible to watch his humility, and his light is amazing
Nobody gonna talk about Ernie's Shaq impression!? That was pretty good 😂😂😂
he doesnt look like a 6'9'' guy lol
What a well spoken young man! Hope he keeps grinding and getting better!
I'm definitely pulling for this young man. He understands the assignment. He is very humble, and you can tell he appreciates this opportunity. If working hard and taking advantage of your opportunity was a person, it would be GG. Keep working 💪 🫡
Shaq 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mycareer reaction
The look on his face when he heard Shaq’s voice was beautiful.
Shaq was my favorite player since 1993. I had the same reaction when I first met him. Had all his Reebok shoes and Albums!
GG Jackson's reaction @1:16
So dope‼️🔥🔥🔥
💯💯
Stay down GG. Stay focused ☝️
That’s a good kid right there
He is talented 🔥🚒🔥
He did not care about Candace
He seems like a really good kid. I hope he's not hanging out with Ja outside of practice and games.
When i met this kid preseason, he told me im gone know his name and ill be damn GG i know exactly who are! GnG
Glory be to God!! Yes young man!!
Melted my heart how he responded to Shaq and how respectful he was throughout the interview.
The youth inspires and reminds us what we are too smart and arrogant to remember.
Not trying to be hyperbolic, but this will probably be one of the best postgame moments of 2024. Celebrate the small wins
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.
Kid was raised well
"Candace, Ernie, and Me!" 😂😂😂
Everybody model they game after KD Kobe or MJ you see he said KD first nobody ever just says they model their game after Bron its always a mix 😂
South Carolina
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.
Excellent kid
My Warriors may have lost this one, but I don't mind losing to someone as great as this guy. Same reaction I'd have if I ever got to talk to that table of greats. Hell, I'd have that reaction talking to Ernie! 😭
He called Candace he says Yes Ma’am and her face changed like Oh Shit! Yes Candace your a grandma now
awe
Grizzlies got a gem who has been raised properly. Great job by his parents/grandparents.
@0:25 Erine tried to slide Candace Parker in that group 😂
