To JJ from Spud

[Spud2nique]

I don’t know where to start. I wrote you off Jalen thinking that the many flashes of athleticism from last year wouldn’t pan out to a skillset that would be positive for the Hawks as a team.

I know it’s early but..

I can see I was wrong.

Understanding it’s only one game but also realizing what he brought to the table last night. He was our best overall player of the night and the first game goes to JJ.

Will you accept my apology good sir?

ok don’t gimme the Dwayne Johnson Rock brows just yet. 
 

Clean game. Tight all around and he glides which I knew before but gliding with intent and purpose using his wingspan to get to the whole effortlessly. Beautiful.

Can we give a special shout or WWF eyebrow-raise out to @thecampster.  He called this relatively early too......

I’ll take your word for it I don’t usually read his work because he never gives me likes and I’m a whore for likes. There I said it, I’m a lil scared I said it..

Love this thread because now I think you are going to enjoy every good thing we see from JJ this year and not be invested in him being overrated.  Always room for more people on the bus who are excited about our players!  Good stuff, spud.

Agreed. If I could gif, I'd post that one with the creepy bunny in the bathroom stall that scoots over to make room.  That's what I'm doing to squd on the JJ bandwagon.

Also, kudos to squd on that pic of JJ.  The cinematography is breathtaking.

Thanks I admit when I am wrong. Again one game but he is bringing an absolute clean and tight game to the table. Those rebounds he got were pretty tough in the lane, kudos there and he’s so long his strides lead him straight to the rim. He nailed and outsider shot and missed one by my count. Shooting is still a priority in the gym for him but honestly the defending and rebounding were great from the kid.

@AHF I’ve never rooted against a Hawk in my life. There have been some that annoyed my like Koncak, Reggie Theus, Big Dog, Hunter .. and others but I never root against any Hawks. I love our Hawks!

I saw it and had to rewind. He looked like the Rock and that eyebrow was definitely meant FOR ME! He raised his eyebrows like: ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED SPUD!!!!!! Me.. (bone chilling look from JJ).

Kinda cool how iRobot saw him for a year and thought, "Meh, can't use 'im."

Smh smmfh

I would love if he started over Dre. We need his rebounding and effort. I've seen enough of Dre to know that he just doesn't love the game like JJ does.

Man, that was aggressive.  Not the w-word, the 5 likes.  Overcompensate-much?

I even rooted for Christian Laettner when he wore a Hawks jersey, but I won't say I didn't feel a bit dirty about it.

I just lost a little respect for you, AH.  I never rooted for that guy.  But I never rated against any Hawk.

How did I accomplish this?  Well let's just say, when he was out there, I pretended there were 3 teams playing.

I was thinking about Campster in the shower earlier.. {EDIT}
 

I had some thoughts regarding the Camp and JJ. What’s your fav thing about JJ? His aesthetic beautiful sentar pose as he glides to the rim with a poster like dunk? The hair? @kg01 linked you to JJ, nice call .
