Memphis Grizzlies big man Jaren Jackson Jr. is known for making bold fashion choices. But on Thursday he chose a sweatshirt every Grizzlies fan should approve.
Jackson, evidently, is a huge fan of his teammate Yuki Kawamura.
So much so that the Grizzlies forward dedicated an entire hoodie to the Japanese point guard and wore it for in-arena tunnel pictures ahead of the Grizzlies’ loss to the Houston Rockets.
“It’s fire, right?” Jackson said as he pointed to the sweatshirt in his locker after the game. “It’s all Yuki.
“I got this made quick. It got to my house quick. I wore it quick, too. I decided to wear this as soon as I got it.”
The sweatshirt was a big hit in the Memphis locker room and online. Many Grizzlies fans are wondering how they can get their hands on one that is identical.
