00:00Reggie Jackson may be one of the LA Clippers most recent additions but the
00:0330 year old guard already feels great about his new teammates. On a conference
00:07called the Porters Friday morning Jackson had specific praise for both
00:10Patrick Beverley and Kawhi Leonard commenting on their personalities and what
00:13they've done to keep guys energized. On Beverley Jackson says he's nothing but
00:17energy and he's finding ways to get guys energized each and every day whether it
00:21just be yelling at us to be vocal or talk to each other and have fun. He's
00:24always playful when he's on the court so he's bleeding that charge. On Leonard
00:27Jackson said that he has a lot more personality than these people give him
00:30credit for saying it to be his teammate or just be close to him to kind of get
00:34that vibe from him. He says but the guy is amazing, he's funny, he's outgoing, he
00:38is who he is. He doesn't think a lot of people get to see that side of him but it's
00:42unfortunate for them. Jackson also commented on the team's off-court
00:45chemistry saying they've been in constant contact through texts that are
00:49having fun talking about what they're watching and eating in the NBA bubble. As
00:52far as the team's on-court chemistry goes however Doc Rivers said it'll take
00:56some time to develop some continuity and the Clippers quote meeting in the gym
01:00right now after making several moves around the trade deadline. The Clippers
01:03were rolling for the special to play on March winning seven of the last eight
01:07games dominating teams the Denver Nuggets, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Houston
01:11Rockets. Jackson was very impressive in that stretch averaging nearly 10 points
01:15per game, three rebounds, and three assists while shooting 56 from the field
01:18and 48 percent three-point range. No matter how well a team is playing though
01:22an unexpected four-month break is impossible to recover from or prepare
01:26for. That doesn't mean LA won't look that good again but fans need to be
01:30patient while guys shake off the rust. At the very least it sounds like Jackson and
01:33the rest of the team have been enjoying this process so far. The Clippers scrimmage
01:37games will begin next week and Rivers won't be able to get the intensity of each
01:40game before his team takes on the Los Angeles Lakers to be the restarted
01:44season on July 30th.
