It seemed to me like all he did was pound the ball for twenty seconds, and then call his own number. But, over the years, he has come to be one of my favorite Mavs. He was fantastic during the Mavs' championship playoff run. His performance now, even at his age and after his injury, is incredible.(12-10-2019, 01:06 PM)mavsluvr Wrote: Indeed he is, the little dickens, lol.
rabbit trail, I can't remember if I've typed this out loud or if anyone else has said it before, but...
we used to say things like, "man, if we could fit JJB's heart and skills into the 6'8" body of "Random Player Name", we'd have super star.
We now have our 6'8" JJB.
And comparing him to Luka is, in a way, a great compliment to both of them!
