There are no words for this, and that was true before tonight.
But given it now led to a ring two seasons later, it’s one of the greatest sacrifices made in the name of winning in the history of sports.
Iconic doesn’t even begin to describe it.
Memphis traded Jaren Jackson Jr. for a package that included a 2027 first-round pick from the Jazz that could theoretically be the No. 1 pick. That was part of the trade. And the NBA just undid it less than four months later. Now it can't even be in the top five.
Ridiculous.
