Jaime Jaquez Jr doesn’t take for granted the U-C-L-A name on the front his jersey | CBS Sports

When it comes to suiting up at a historic program Jaime Jaquez Jr doesn’t take for granted the U-C-L-A name on the front his jersey and all the incredible players that came before him. But for Jaquez - it’s the name on the back of his Jersey, and the pride he takes in his Mexican heritage, that’s become bigger than basketball.

Jaime and his family epitomize what is making Bruin basketball great again.

[@vincehernandez9807]

Future 1st round pick! Winner on the court, leader in the locker room and an inspiration off the court 🇲🇽! Can’t say that about many guys in this draft.

[@demarcusdavis1083]

G- league first round pick crazy man

[@vincehernandez9807]

@@demarcusdavis1083 How? ESPN/Givony has him as the 34th best prospect right now. The Athletic (Sam Vecenie) has him 29th. He’s late 1st/early 2nd.

[@HugoSanchez-eb2pz]

He’s a U.S. born

[@Reaps619]

You called it brotha 💯

[@randomimages5887]

Not only a future first round pick but second best rookie in his class behind one of the most hyped prospects in NBA history!

[@HugoSanchez-eb2pz]

He’s not Mexican he’s United Statesean

[@letsgobrandon987]

Well now that Mexicans can’t play competitive soccer I guess basketball will do.

[@briangayler6198]

[@clementhanami6030]

Triple J will end up one of the great Bruins however this tourney turns out because he plays with a passion for who he is! Love you JJJ! Let’s go and cut down the nets! Si se puede!!!

[@AYsHoopers2003]

not going to lie the Lakers should use the 17th pick to draft this kid because it would make history and he would look so good in a Lakers uniform

[@AprendiedoconAlex]

Why Jaquez is not playing for México national team like Victor with France and Luka for Slovenia?
