If a guy can help a team win or sell tickets the team is happy. If anything, Jimmers race helped him because the kings saw a great marketing opportunity to make him the face of their franchise, before they realized he couldn't play.

Brady must be a CBer. That's the only place i see that kind of silliness. If Jimmer didn't get a fair shot, it may have
