Love him. One of my favorites ever.

I asked this in the other thread, but why the two rings?

One is from the NCAA. UConn game them another.

I love that they are getting recognized by their current teams. Would've been cool if Jordan got his during a pregame ceremony.

One ring is for reaching the Final Four, and the other for National Champions. Love me some Andre Jackson Jr.

 

[elmcityboy]

he's having his best game as a pro right now. hit a three and a floater, multiple offensive rebounds, bonecrunching screens.

Watching Andre play in the 3rd quarter was so fun. Looked like he was at UConn. Commentators raving about him the whole time while the Bucks went on a huge run.

yep! and here he is flopping on a jackson pick

He was so good at that last year. The amount of wide open looks he got for his teammates with those off-ball screens was something else.

A great player and even better person.

I'm mostly face blind. Who is Andre with?

One of the greatest huskies ever. Heart and soul of 2023 NC.

IIRC from the post-event thread, it's a waiter standing on a chair.

highlights of jackson's two buckets last night. wish i could find a full highlight reel including the offensive rebounds (both of which led to points) and the screens.

in-game, it felt like his presence turned the game around for the bucks.

Andre gets some glowing press in this beat article. It was interesting that he said he didn't quite enjoy the ring presentation before the game because it was a surprise and he was locked in to what was coming up. But after the game he was able to enjoy it more. That sounds so like AJ.

great find! how many nba rookies will give this quote to the media?

"On this team, if I’m on the court, I’m most likely, probably, the fifth option in scoring, so I’m just going to try to do everything in my power to get those other guys clean looks and follow up their misses if they do miss and try to find another guy.”

such a unique player and person.

Thanks for sharing. He is such a special player and teammate, it's great to see him off to a strong start.

The NCAA ring cost is limited to $405, the UConn ring is cool

 

[Griffman]

His full highlights including the 2 offensive rebounds and hard screens.

Believe it was Khris Middleton and Bobby Portis

Is this a new thing teams are doing? I've never seen this before.

Love him. One of my favorites ever.

Story from Championship night - Team was coming up the stairs and we were high fiving them at the hotel. AJax dropped his championship T-Shirt. Person after AJax forget who it was in my euphoria gives AJax's championship T-Shirt to me. Mrs. Scot-e freaks out and tries to claim the T-Shirt for herself (it's her favorite player). Scot-e calmly talks to me and says lets give the T-Shirt back to Ajax, it's the right thing to do. So that's what we did. Mrs's Scot-e took some photos with Andre which made her happy. What really happened witht he T-Shirt is unknown. I'm sure it's in a hamper somewhere.

Only 400 bucks for the NCAA ring? Pssh, might as well just have given them a ring pop.

 

[Scrutineer]

Much classier than the locker room presentation by the Pelicans. AJ has to feel good about the team caring so much about putting together such a nice ceremony.
