How Strange, It's Getting Harder for Water to Clean Bobby Jackson Off

Chess_medium

[Previews like what.]

I've already talked about Bobby Jackson a bit, so let me humbly quote myself:

I hate to tell you this, buuuuut ... Bobby Jackson is basically done. His shooting has been on a slide to nowhere for a few years, his brilliant playmaking has been betrayed by his waning athleticism. He is a ghost. Brown might be a disaster on wheels at times, sure. But it's unlikely he'll be dramatically worse than BoJax on the whole. Sure -- BoJax is capable of throwback nights Brown might not touch for a few years. But average the summits and canyons and Brown will almost assuredly be as good or better.

Did I really say that? What a ghastly sentiment. Bobby Jackson is a hero, a man. And here I am, telling him he's a ghost. Shameful. Unequivocably shameful.

... but true. Pleasure adjoined to watching Bobby Jackson will be dervied from his mentorship of the young Kings and his once-in-a-moon-cycle shooting sprees. But really, it's the mentorship, the warm fuzzies. You'll be happy to know he won't take any sass from young players, also. Ask Tracy McGrady.

(Thanks to Henry for digging that up/reminding me.)

There are a few Kings who won't allow any punks to step. BoJax is the captain of that crew. And I'm glad of it.

I agree

and I do not agree that he has little left to contribute on the court. If his minutes are limited (limited) I think he can still be an efffective sparkplug.

We better hope ….

Bobby Jackson is my hero

I have no interest in your logic or facts when it comes to my hero, so I’m just going to stick my fingers in my ears and pretend you didn’t say that about Bobby “I played with a broken face” Jackson.

LOL

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. It's simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get tangled, you tango on

Said ita ll summer long

I’m not going to repeat myself. Bobby was nearly done when he left Sac, and he’s only regressed since.

Best part of that

clip. Jackson got a beer shower and didn’t go into the stands. Oh yes, I went there.

Take BB under your wing Jax. Prove that you can be an effective coach and instill the mental aspects of the game needed to contend in our players’ young impressionable minds. Anything above that will be icing.

One of the greatest moments being a Kings fan

Cuz I was watching it live. The other of course, was watching DC13 knock Rick Fox’s ass out!

Anthony Peeler

almost knocking KG on his ass with an elbow a few years back was pretty badass too. For all the talk about how great everyone got along on those Adelman teams, there sure was a lot of spunkiness going on too. I guess when your team has a reputation as being “soft” and guys keep trying to test that, you gotta be ready to answer with force.

As for DC/Mrs. Christie exposing Rick Fox as the bitch he is, I remember exactly how it felt watching that unfold as it happened. I was literally jumping up and down like a friggin’ four-year-old. That was probably one of the most surreal things I’ve ever seen, and my nomination for Greatest Preseason Moment in all of Sports Ever.

The Jackie Christie thing I found funny

She jumped in the thing and Fox was still trying to figure out where all his chimes were. Maybe she wears the pants, but he still got the balls in that family.
