About Josh Jackson

Josh Jackson: The Rising Star of American Basketball

Born on February 10, 1997, in San Diego, California, Josh Jackson is a young basketball player who has taken the world by storm with his impressive skills and talent. He grew up in Detroit, Michigan, where he developed a passion for basketball at a young age. Jackson attended Consortium College Prep High School, where he played for the school's basketball team and quickly gained recognition for his exceptional talent.

In 2016, Jackson was ranked as the number one high school basketball player in the country by ESPN. He was also named the 2016 Mr. Basketball USA and the 2016 Naismith Prep Player of the Year. These accolades helped him secure a spot at the University of Kansas, where he played for one season before being drafted into the NBA.

Jackson was selected fourth overall by the Phoenix Suns in the 2017 NBA draft. He played for the Suns for two seasons before being traded to the Memphis Grizzlies in 2019. Jackson has since become an integral part of the Grizzlies' lineup, showcasing his impressive skills on the court and helping the team achieve success.

Off the court, Jackson has been involved in various philanthropic endeavors, including supporting the Flint water crisis relief efforts and working with the Boys and Girls Club of America. He has also been vocal about social justice issues, using his platform to raise awareness and advocate for change.

Despite facing some challenges early in his career, including a suspension for a violation of team rules during his time at Kansas, Jackson has continued to prove himself as a rising star in the world of basketball. With his impressive skills, dedication, and passion for the game, there's no doubt that he will continue to make waves in the NBA for years to come.
