Grizzlies Star Details Encounter With FBI

Memphis Grizzlies star Jaren Jackson Jr. had an FBI encounter as a kid

During the latest episode of Podcast P, which is presented by Wave Sports and Entertainment, Memphis Grizzlies star Jaren Jackson Jr. joined LA Clippers star Paul George for a lengthy discussion that covered several different topics. Amongst these different topics was a story about the time Jackson Jr. was tracked down by the FBI for illegally downloading movies and music.

"Back then you had like, Pirate Bay and you could look up movies and TV [shows]," Jackson Jr. said. "And I downloaded like 20 movies and then went to school, came back and my dad's like, yo, they're telling me – they called – the government or whoever called and they're like, bro, you can't – because they track my files on my computer – and I'm like, oh, well, I guess I won't do this no more. But like, it was funny my mom was pissed but then she's like, yo, let me get Scandal, season one. Like mom, you serious? I'm like, yo, look, you want Olivia Pope? Here. Disc season one, season two, season three. My mom was like, don't do this no more."

Jackson Jr. first told this story in 2018 during a feature for The Players' Tribune. As the Grizzlies star mentioned during this latest podcast episode, he was not selling this illegally downloaded content, and was a young kid when it all happened.
