I'm still lost at how he's playing. I mean, I understand it but I'm lost at the jump taken by him. He turned from nowhere to all NBA first team over the summer.
This may be the biggest jump I've seen a player take.

This isn't a guy just refining some raw skills, he added some significant shyt and is doing it on a very good level.

Tommy Sotomayor would EAT that story up lol.

And he should go ALL THE WAY IN on his momma, but not all Black women:whoa:

He probably grew up to resemble his father, the man who left her and the family. His mom probably grew to despise Jimmy because of this.

"You look just like your good-for-nothing daddy. Get out of my face."

That's probably what the "I don't like the look of you" was all about.

This happens a lot in the Black community.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
This dude went from a solid role player to arguably the best two way wing in the league :wtf:

I know people think it's contract year shyt, but rarely do dudes increase their numbers across the board like this in contract years. They may post better scoring numbers but you'll see a dip in their FG% and shyt, this dude has increase his percentage by 10% :mindblown:

I said at the time that we fukked up not giving him the 12M he asked for.

Last year his offense was shyt but his defense was still there. But he was hurt all year, playing next to Kirk Hinrich and Mike Dunleavy. I figured that being healthy, playing next to a healthy Rose, the addition of Gasol and other offensive talent we'd see him at like 14ppg with 45%, but dude just took it to another level.

If we could've locked up a dude putting up 22/6/3 on 50% with the ability to knock down jumpers, slash, beat people off the dribble, finish, score in the post with elite defense for 12M a year :banderas:

If the Bulls should meet the Cavaliers in the playoffs this year, I have a feeling Jimmy is gonna embarrass Lebron.

Its ridiculous the jump he's made in just a summer. His defense/hustle is still my favorite part of his game tho

Jimmy proves that just because you have been in the league a while that you can still become a much better player than people anticipate you to be. His ceiling went from being Bruce Bowen with better offense to possibly becoming the best shooting guard in the game eventually if he keeps improving like this.
