WATCH: Lebron James compliments Jaren Jackson Jr., Xavier Tillman and Tom Izzo ahead of playoff series
After winning their NBA play-in tournament match-up against the Minnesota Timberwolves last night, Lebron James and the Los Angeles Lakers advance to face the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies have two former Spartans, Xavier Tillman Sr. and Jaren Jackson Jr..
In his postgame media conference, Lebron had a typical Lebron James viral moment where he rattled off information about the Grizzlies. In particular, he made sure to compliment the stellar play of Jackson and Tillman, who has been starting for the Grizzlies. He also gave a shoutout to coach Tom Izzo, in a cool moment.

I asked LeBron for his early thoughts on the Memphis matchup. After listing out his scouting report for most of their rotation, he deadpanned, “Obviously, I haven’t thought about Memphis one minute.” pic.twitter.com/PeUJ4sXJYs
