Sorry if it has already been thrown around in one of the B-Jax threads... Jackson in a comfort zone with Rockets
I know it was one game... but for the first time in awhile a Rocket player reminded me of Vernon Maxwell. B-Jax the new Mad Max? I hope so! From link in OP: Sounds good...
yeah my father even said so, he asked me who he was after BJ hit those threes and then i told him thats bobby jackson.. then he said "he reminds me of vernon maxwell" ....and for me personally he does remind me of mad max... bobby jackson looks like a cross between a rat and vernon maxwell... and vice versa put big ears on mad max and u got bobby jackson...
Having someone out there playing, who has a good grasp of the offense should speed up the learning curve for the rest of the team.
Come on Vernon was never that ugly. But I do agree this kid seems to have that similar tenacity. The kind of pitbull attitude the ROckets have been lacking.
Well, you know he has no problem getting up in someones face or even taking someone down (See: McGrady, Tracy ). His toughness was needed.
