Kyrie Irving takes GG Jackson under his wing, training together this offseason
Kyrie Irving has now become a mentor to the league’s youngest and brightest stars. One such player is GG Jackson, the 19-year-old Memphis Grizzlies rookie who averaged 14.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.2 assists last season.
Jackson’s impressive rookie season caught the attention of Irving, who is now training with him at USC this offseason. Footage shows the two players working on their skills together.
With the Grizzlies expected to be healthier next season, it remains to be seen if Jackson will receive the same opportunities he had last year. However, with Irving’s guidance, Jackson is poised to take his game to the next level and contribute to winning basketball.
