Jimmer struggled last night. 19 points, but only 4 of 14 from the field. Did not really dictate anything on the court. Burned on defense.
Put very simply, Jimmer is a boy in a man's league. What I mean by that is that he plain just doesn't have the athleticism to be a good player at that level.
"Well what about [insert NBA white guy], why can't Jimmer be like him?"
Well you know what, it's actually possible for a white man to be very athletic. That's why those that are in the NBA and have success, are able to do so.
I wish I was wrong, but I don't think there is going to be a second chapter for Jimmer in the NBA.
Now admittedly the other team had NBA talent. Dante Jones has spent many years in the NBA. That's how competitive the NBA is. All it takes is a little push, and you are gone. Every year new bodies coming in, that means old bodies have to go out.
