The Defensive Player of the Year and first time All-Star, Jaren Jackson Jr. of the Memphis Grizzlies leads off the show reminiscing about his Indiana prep years when PG was on the Pacers, why he played for Coach Tom Izzo and why the Michigan State brotherhood in the NBA is so special. JJJ then breaks down the playoff series against the Lakers and whether or not Dillon Brooks talking trash to LeBron affected the matchup. Plus, JJJ shares how it felt to win the DPOY and what his first All-Star experience was like this season. Finally PG and JJJ share funny Steven Adams stories, their all-time defensive starting lineup, and JJJ sheds light on Ja Morant’s situation and the future of the Grizzlies.
