Who is Troy Escalade Jackson?
The streetball and basketball family lost a great person last night. Troy Jackson aka Escalade died in his sleep last night. Escalade was a leader in the streetball world and I’m really sad to see him go. I called Grayson Boucher aka “The Professor” this morning to confirm the reports of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the Jackson’s and the streetball family.
Troy Escalade Jackson was born in Queens on January 11, 1976 and played basketball in college and was featured on the And1 Mixtape Tour. More recently, Escalade played for the Ball Up Streetball team. Escalade is the younger brother of Mark Jackson and attended the University of Louisville.
I spoke to Escalade a few times and really enjoyed getting to know him. I always wanted him to be a part of Streetball.com and what we’re trying to build. He really understood the game of basketball in all facets. R.I.P. Escalade, you will be missed but always remembered.
Here are some great pictures of Troy “Escalade” Jackson.
