Jaren Jackson Jr.

To lead the NBA in blocks per game like Jaren Jackson Jr., you need to be able to cover all areas of the court to protect the nest. In this play, the Memphis Grizzlies forward gets back on defense after a miss and nearly cuffs the ball on an unbelievable, left-handed swat to prevent a highlight slam. Jackson Jr.’s spectacular block was a featured play in his 20-point, seven-rebound effort against the Boston Celtics on March 3, 2022.
