Jimmer had multiple chances and couldn’t cut it.

Just isn't the case. Jimmer makes more money playing half the games. He'd like

All the evidence proves otherwise.

Institutional racism

Agree

Double agree. The NY coach who publicly said he would "not" play Jimmer was BS.

You mean when he said this:

I don’t think it’s racist but if that fraud of an activist Kap can win a collusion case and make millions with Nike

Zach Morris

2/23/19 10:40am

In what way does Jimmer have a case. He was a great college player

PHXSUNS31

2/23/19 10:47am

But Kap has a case? Right... he sucked, that was his problem. The 80% black NFL proves it had not a thing

Zach Morris

2/23/19 11:02am

Do you even know anything about Kap’s case?

PHXSUNS31

2/23/19 11:21am

Totally DISagree. The NFL settled not because Kap had a case, the NFL settled...

BleedCougarBlue2

2/23/19 12:06pm

I mean you could be right, but you’re just guessing

PHXSUNS31

2/23/19 12:20pm

Just like you "think" plenty of teams would offer Jimmer a contract. Both

Sure, doesn’t have anything to do with my point though

PHXSUNS31

seriously. Jimmer was at the helm of a team that went to NBA championship, then

I almost fell for it.

CrimsonCardinal

2/23/19 10:54am

Good point. The overwhelming black nfl didn’t want yet another black guy in the league.

Zach Morris

2/23/19 11:03am

Absolutely! The NBA is filled with Asian players

jamalccc

Signed Matthew Delladova and scores of other white guard in the NBA.

Jeremy Lin is better at the things nba teams want out of a backup point guard

Lebron James is playing basketball in the NBA, and Jimmer is not. Why is that?

John Doe

2/22/19 7:35pm

This comparison of LeBron to Lin is pretty funny.

jcase16byu

2/23/19 9:44am

The constant questions of why Jimmer isn't in the NBA are pretty funny.

John Doe

2/23/19 12:25pm

Lin has been a solid pg for almost 10 years in the nba

PHXSUNS31

2/22/19 7:36pm

Lin is not even a fringe NBA player.

thebruce

2/22/19 7:45pm

Jeremy Lin can adapt to several offensive styles. Jimmer forces a style

mudpupper

2/22/19 7:53pm

This. Jimmer needs lots of touches to be effective. Lin doesn’t.

The Spurs play Patty Mills and some other dude at PG. No one can handle the

Get over it. Jimmer is doing great where he is. Will never be an NBA player.

This is it! The poor defense thing is way overplayed - there are a ton of both

jaba166

Jimmers biggest fan ^

BOOHOLE

2/23/19 9:49am

Because Jimmer never established himself as a catch and shoot guy

mjmill

2/23/19 5:55am

Republicans don't do well in the NBA.

slowhiteguy

2/23/19 10:17am

because during Jimmer's 2014/5 season he played in 50 games and shot 19% from 3. When you're a shooter who doesn't

^^^ great points ^^^ I don’t want to accept them but they’re true

Jazz should trade for Dellavedova

Yewts would love that.

I can give three reasons:

AggieWeekendCougar

2/23/19 12:57pm

Because he won't play off the ball...or maybe he can't.

Jimmer needed to learn to play true PG, to be a facilitator. Never did it
