MEYE position on Jimmy has been the same for years. He’s a very good player, but not a true number one guy. He overachieved in the bubble and I said so at the time.

He’s a back up regular season rotational player. Nothing more. He won’t get more than 5 mpg in the playoffs as a Laker.

What has Jimmy done outside of the bubble? Because I'm struggling to remember.

Definitey not a #1 but no one outside of that top 5 really is. He’s instantly made every team He played for more competitive and better.

Only going to get more challenging to be that #1 going up against time and his 32 year old season

I can't explain how but Jimmy does somehow make teams better. From Chicago to Minnesota to Philly to Miami. Can't be a fluke if it keeps happening

He foul baits & has a FTr of .630 since he's been in Miami.
He fits the "new NBA" perfectly.

He doesn't take pretty step back threes, doesn't have a plethora of crossovers & actually plays defense.... And to top it off takes Mid range jumpshots?

Pattern there is that he's been joined by good talent at each of those situations. He was drafted onto a Bulls team that had the MVP.. and even when Rose shredded his knee that team was still deep enough to win 45 games the following year with Jimmy averaging 8 ppg

The 03 Lakers got swept. The 07 heat I think they got swept. The '12 Mavs team got swept so that ring in '11 is fugazi.

I just want to confirm that you understand a FTr of .630 is outrageous & .105 higher than James Harden's since his first year in Houston

One thing with Jimmy though, his game won’t age well. Won’t be a 3 and D player.

This your logic bruh. Your example.
Those teams you mentioned all won roads games in hostile environments. Traveled to games. Dealt with crowds. The bubble experience offered none of these things. It has little to do with what they did the next season.
