    That's fucked up. However, I will say that things like vegetables probably weren't his favorite. I know because until I was about 35 I hated them too.

    I was built just like him only I'm just 6'2.

    If he was anything like me he learned to wrap them in a napkin and sneak them to the garbage.

    Bayless won MVP of summer league, not D league. On that note, isn't it called the G-League now?

    Kinda surprised if Jimmer gets his 100th shot before Errick McCollum gets his first.

    Too bad the Blazers don't have a roster spot available. The way the Blazers have been playing it sure couldn't hurt much.

    We need more guards who can't play defense.

    Why not, we like centers who miss more threes than they get personal fouls. Jimmer can make them.

    He's a shorter, even less versatile version of Allen Crabbe. At least he's cheaper. So yay for that.

    But he's also rumored to be an arrogant, entitled asshole. So, I rescind my previous yay. Sorry, I got all caught up in Jimmermania. It won't happen again. I promise.

    Crabbe needs just a little of that mentality.

    Jimmer is an undersized ball hog......Aaron Brooks was a superstar in China...and he's way better than Jimmer. Also an undersized ball hog. Both defensively terrible

    Jimmer has been outright waived by multiple crappy teams. When you have a $2.5 million guaranteed contract and you get waived by a team that is 20-37 a week AFTER the trade deadline and they don't sign anyone to replace you, that means you're pretty much worthless.

    He was also waived by NOP 9 days after signing a $948K contract with them. Talk about buyer's remorse...

    This is the last guy we should ever consider signing. At this point the guy is 28. So, it's not like you can even use "potential" as a reason to sign him. Leave him to the SACs, NOPs, NYKs of the world to sign and release. No thanks. Not even on a 10-day contract.
