    Zion did say a lot of NBA players are secretly huge anime fans…

    Now we just need other players to yell out their special moves.

      I do want him to bring back the Guile hair, that was the best version of Jimmy hair.

      because its really really hard to get consistent. The ball is rolling off one hand, completely out of sight, so there is just such a small margin for error. practicing a sky hook means skimping on practicing something, well… more practical

    Wait. The best is that they call a TO and he’s still practicing his sky hook, amusing himself, on the way to the bench. That man enjoys himself out there. Pure joy

    Lakers once hired Kareem strictly to teach Andrew Bynum the unstoppable skyhook….Bynum went to management and told them to get rid of Jabbar after several months

    There’s such a thin line between bravery and stupidity. If that was a miss, Jimmy would’ve looked like Jordan Poole

      That’s why I don’t understand why for so long the sentiment in baseball was that you basically shouldn’t celebrate/pimp your plays. Like you’re just enjoying the moment, making entertainment content, because after all, sports players are basically just actors if you really think about it, same type of business, and if this shot doesn’t work out, everyone deservedly laughs at them for embarrassing themselves… that’s the risk you take, like the infamous Kemba no-look shimmy “three”
