For several days, only one name has been on the lips of Grizzlies supporters: that of GG Jackson. After dominating the Warriors, an anecdote linking him to Stephen Curry was told by Draymond Green, who was returning from suspension.

In this match between two bottom-of-the-table teams in the West, the Warriors hoped to come away with victory against a Grizzlies squad that was greatly reduced due to the injury absences of several executives. However, the latter were not discouraged and were able to thwart the plans of the Californians, since they left with victory against all odds.

They owe this success in large part to a player whose name was still unknown until now in the person of GG Jackson. Aged 19, the Memphis winger is the youngest basketball player in the league, but that did not prevent him from scoring 23 points on 67% shooting. Back from suspension, Draymond Green took the opportunity to recount the conversation between him and Stephen Curry on The Volume Sports .

GG Jackson, snubbed by Steph Curry

GG Jackson shot like he was Klay Thompson, catching the ball and shooting without hesitation. He waited for Stephen Curry at midfield and said, “Dude, I got uninvited from your camp in high school.” Steph replied: “Oh, I remember that. We had no more places, so we had to withdraw invitations, but you surprised me a little there.” After the match, I saw that GG took it personally, but used it as motivation.

 

 

In addition to having achieved success and made an impression, GG Jackson was able to settle things with the man who was undoubtedly his idol growing up. Each year, the Curry Camp is organized in the Bay Area and gives the opportunity to several young talents to play with the Chef. Annoyed at having lost his place at this event, the rookie would have expressed his dissatisfaction to the double MVP, which caused a massive reaction on the web.

Disinviting someone from your camp just to have them dominate you a few years later is hilarious😭😭

GG Jackson said: “And I took it personally”

Once again eligible to play on his team, Draymond Green attended a conversation between Stephen Curry and GG Jackson. The latter would then have complained to the Splash Brother about having been disinvited from his camp, this is perhaps where the Memphis player got his determination from.
