Jaquez is one of four NBA players who were selected to serve as media correspondents for this year’s NBA Finals series between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers. Jaquez took on that role on the NBA’s social platforms for Sunday’s Game 2 in Oklahoma City. “It was a lot of fun,” Jaquez said of that experience during a Tuesday appearance to interact and take photos with young campers at Jr. Heat Basketball Camp at SLAM! Miami charter school. “It gave me a different perspective on the media. I got to go check in on some of the meetings and how so much work gets put into broadcasting the NBA to the rest of the world. I think people don’t really think about it. Not that they think that it’s hard or easy, they just don’t really get to see what it’s like. And it was a great experience to talk to the people behind the cameras about how they put this whole production together to the world. For me to be a part of it for a day was really cool.” -via Miami Herald / June 10, 2025
