there’s gotta be a better nickname for Jabari than Brickari that’s like calling Sheppard Brickpard Westbrick at least flows well
Jabari and Durant's best defensive attributes overlap. JSJ really needs to hit his 3s to be valuable with Durant on the court unless the Rockets are going small.
The comparable version for Jabari, in the Westbrick style, would be Jackbari. But I’m a Bari fan, especially with his improved aggression. So this moniker should be used only in the first 5 seconds of the possession.
I think the right nickname for him is Jabroni. For those not familiar with the term: "Jabroni" is a derogatory slang term for a foolish, contemptible, or unsuccessful person. It is also professional wrestling slang for a wrestler who is brought in specifically to lose to a more popular wrestler, often called a "jobber". The term was popularized by wrestler Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
we all hate the magic for bamboozling us on draft night, oh and the thunder for getting chet right after
Tiny sample size. But his numbers are worse and he's playing 35 minutes a game! I have faith but it's slipping. Need to see more, much more. I can handle 12-15 points a game if he hits 37% three pointers and plays good defense. I can handle whatever as long as we're winning. If Sengun and KD average 50+ points together and Amen gets to 15 pgg then there may not be enough shots for Jabari 10 get 15 points. Hm.
I still don't get why the Magic were so tight-lipped about who they were going to draft. I mean, its not like another team was going to 'steal' their pick, and I don't recall (pls correct me if I'm wrong) them shopping the pick.
