When asked how he would act if he witnessed something unjust, Jackson shared a high school story, saying, "I was walking in school when I saw a really smart kid at the top of his class. Bullies were surrounding him and I wanted to say something but because I might get hit I got in a taxi first and started shouting. I said, 'Hey, hey, hey!'," which caused everyone on the set to explode in laughter.


When it was mentioned that Jackson was a show off at school, Jackson admitted, "While exercising I wasn't the type to not be interested in school. I just wanted female students to see me exercising."�


Jackson elaborated, "If you went to my high school you would see that everyone was always watching the basketball court. On the second, third, and fourth rows there were a lot of female students who watched [the games]. As soon as I made an entrance I felt like I was in the NBA."

He added, "I felt that if I could score as soon as I entered the games, a female student would confess her feelings to me," causing laughter on the set.

He further explained how he would strategically look at the female audience during his basketball games. He stated, "When there's no one there, I leave it alone, but when I feel the girls' eyes on me I look up at the third row. When I shoot I also briefly take a look."


During the same episode, Jackson introduced himself with an impressive flip and also showed off his beatboxing skills. You can check both out in the clip below!
