The Kings lost 85-109 to the Nets, ending an 11-game losing streak. The Nets' two new signings, Seth Curry and Zhuang Shen, both played bravely, scoring a total of 34 points, 16 rebounds and 9 assists, becoming the hero of the win. In contrast, the King's new signings were a bit of a disappointment.
Sabonis Jr. had only 9 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists on 4-of-11 shooting; Justin Holliday had 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists on 3-of-12 shooting; and Josh Jackson played only 3 minutes and 14 seconds, shooting 0-of-2, 0 points, 0 assists.
On the trade deadline, Jackson was traded by the Pistons to the Kings. It is worth mentioning that it happened to be Jackson's 25th birthday. There was no feast and cake on birthday days and nights, only the pain of being traded. During his time with the Pistons this season, Jackson averaged 7.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, and could play 18.1 minutes per game.
After being traded to the King, Jackson was discarded. After the trade, the Kings played three games, and Jackson only made an appearance during the garbage time of playing the Nets, playing less than 4 minutes.
Jackson, the No. 4 show of 2017, is 2.03 meters tall and weighs 94 kilograms and is a striker. With height, arm span, excellent mobility, and tough defense, Jackson was very favored before entering the NBA. But his character became an obstacle to his progress.
Before entering the draft, Jackson and his college teammate Vic went to smash Vic's ex-girlfriend's car, and the two wanted to do something to Vic's ex-girlfriend, and were eventually convicted of damage to property.
Jackson had a chance to compete for the title, but off-field troubles affected his draft picks until fourth place, when he was selected by the Suns. In his rookie season, Jackson averaged 13.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1 steal per game, shooting 42% from the field. But the following year, Jackson did not continue to improve, but regressed. At the end of the season, Jackson was also traded to the Grizzlies. In the 2020 offseason, Jackson joined the Pistons for 2 years and 10 million. Only 5 years into the NBA, Jackson changed 4 teams.
There was no growth on the field, and there was constant trouble off the field. In 2019, Jackson was found smoking marijuana for his 4-month-old child, which was infuriating. Jackson reportedly became pregnant after having sex with a 41-year-old middle-aged woman, and when the child was 4 months old, Jackson picked her up and cared for her for a few days. However, during the care of his daughter, Jackson actually smoked marijuana for his 4-month-old daughter after a drunken drink, which can be said to be very speechless.
In terms of mate selection, Jackson seems to have an Oedipus complex. In addition to the 41-year-old middle-aged woman mentioned above, Jackson's current girlfriend is a 43-year-old aunt, older than Kobe's widow Vanessa (39 years old). Jackson is only 24 years old this year, which means that his girlfriend is 19 years older than him, and he can almost be his mother.
But fortunately, because of the maintenance, Jackson's girlfriend now looks quite good, and her appearance and figure are OK. But in another 10, 20 years, Jackson 40+, his girlfriend will be 60+, will Jackson still like his girlfriend as always? It felt like he was still worried about his girlfriend.
Although only 24 years old, Jackson has now been abandoned by the King. At the end of the season, Jackson's contract expired. Based on his performance this season, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get another NBA contract in the offseason. With Jackson's bad track off the court, even if he wants to play in the CBA, there may be no CBA team that dares to ask him.
