Jaren Jackson Jr. · What happens when you put one Defensive Player of the Year winner head-to-head at the rim with another? According to Jaren Jackson Jr., nothing good. Isolated at the top of the key against one of league history’s top defenders, the Memphis Grizzlies big man opts to test his creativity, using a short pick-and-roll to get downhill before working a rhythmic between-the-leg, spin, pump-fake combination, freeing an avenue for a ferocious poster jam. A unique blend of power and finesse, Jackson Jr. kept his offensive tear going with 36 points, three rebounds, three 3-pointers, and a block in a loss to the top-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves on January 18, 2024. · State of Mint · State of Mint
