He deserves it that is for sure. His steal against LeBron during a regular season game plays over and over in my mind as if it was yesterday.
Harden, too. [video=youtube;wVYJULACcao]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVYJULACcao[/video] Kirk? I saw enough of teams effectively going right at him on defense to realize he offers little at either end of the court anymore. Thibs was able to hide him well enough, since he could put Jimmy on the better of the two back court players. It didn't matter much against the Wizards, as both their guards are really good (and a decade younger).
Wow! This really surprised me. It's tough to break into these all defense teams and although it's a defensive honor, doubly tough to be a first-time selectee when your offensive game is weak. Good on ya, Jimmy!
I think Jimmy's spot is well deserved. As close to a lockdown defender as there is. Hands always swiping at the ball. Can guard 3 positions (PG,SG,SF) and sometimes PF.
