The NBA's most successful and impressive slogan to date is undoubtedly the Where amazing happens released in 2007. This concise statement has become the best description of the NBA for fans even today.
The birthplace of miracles
And what we're talking about today is this Jarrett Jack, and his miracle is that everywhere he goes, the starting point guard of that team is either accidentally injured, or traded, or the state decline is toppled by him, and anyway, the starting point guard position must belong to him in the end. He was also dubbed the "starting point guard terminator" by fans.
Boy, open your eyes!
Jack attended four different schools during his high school days, notably at MonteZion Hill Christian High School in North Carolina, where he scored 56 points in one game, breaking the school record held by senior Tracy McGrady. In 2002, Jarrett Jack entered Georgia Tech and represented Georgia Tech in college basketball. He is a teammate and roommate with Chris Bosh. At that time, Although Bosh was a freshman, he was already the star of the team, but Bosh was still very hard, and Jack was tired after every class and training, but Bosh would silently walk back to the stadium. Jack once said he learned professionalism from Bosh. Bosh entered the NBA in 2003, Jack also led the team to the NCAA runner-up, and he himself was selected to the Atlantic Coast League (ACC) All-Third Team. In his three years with the Georgia Tech Hornets, Jarrett Jack ranked fifth in total assists (543) and total steals (183) in school history, the sixth player in team history to have 1,000 points and more than 500 assists.
"I'm going to start" – "Wait"
On May 6, 2005, Jarrett Jack decided to run in the 2005 NBA Draft, beginning his miraculous path to usurpation. Jarrett Jack was selected by the Denver Nuggets with the 22nd pick in the first round and was subsequently traded to the Portland Trail Blazers. Switching from the Blazers to the Pacers, he stole TJ Ford's starting position; a year later, he signed with the Raptors, and with the convenience of the university's partner with Bosh, he managed to squeeze Jose Calderon as the starter; after the three-way trade was sent to New Orleans, Chris Paul's departure once again gave Jack the starting position. When he signed the Cavaliers, Kyrie Irving was reimbursed; when he joined the Warriors, it was Stephen Curry who was injured, plus the Nets' Deron Williams, and there were a lot of starting point guards who were counterattacked by Jack.
I really didn't mean it, I don't know if I thought I was "poisoned"
Jack, who can be called "favored by God", seems to be the real "proud son of heaven", and the luck that far exceeds the blessing of strength is particularly obvious in him. As a non-seeded player, Jack is destined to start from the grassroots, waving a towel, passing a few balls during garbage time, and completing the task, and his first career started as the third point guard in the team. Jack's counterattack mode is simple and rough, and it goes with the flow, as if there is really God's will at work, which is amazing. No matter how good the starting point guard is, he will always sit in the starting lineup for a while.
If you don't accept it, it's over
I don't believe it's all an accident, Jarrett Jack is a strong attacking double guard, able to shoot and break, generally ending the offense with a throw; athleticism, defensive point guard speed loss, but big enough to fight against the shooting guard. And having a big heart, all of this has become recognized by the team when the main player is absent or in poor form, with his own strength to play level.
Tell you, my nickname is Barnes, don't move me!
Back to Jack's miracle, what exactly does "starting point guard Terminator" mean? Behind this phenomenon is actually a completely different truth from the superficial appearance, which is very cruel to Jack. What is the premise for ending the starting point guard? Change teams. Behind Jack's legend is a common survival rule for NBA character players (and even some of the superstars: O'Neal, Maddy, and Iverson), which is displacement. Jack has won rare opportunities by virtue of his talent, but the contract has never exceeded four years, and the end is mostly a deal or a cut. In fact, Jack's "starting point guard Terminator" status is indeed just a coincidence, and it may not be taken seriously even by the parties themselves.
I still have oil!
Now, in 2021, in the American BIG3 League, a retired players' league formed by Iverson, Jack has won a record 35 points in a single game and led the team to win the championship. Soon after, he joined the coaching staff of the Suns and began a new phase of his life. However, his good popularity has been circulating in the chat and gratitude of active players, Jack witnessed Curry grow into MVP and ushered in a new era in the Golden State, Curry also thanked Jack after winning the 2014-15 regular season MVP. Dream chasing said "you can't find a few people Jack doesn't know, everyone likes him", the first car chased by Jack was bought by Jack, when Jack was driving an identical car, Jack has always played the role of Draymond Green's mentor. At the end of his career with the Knicks, before and after each Knicks game, the players and coaches on the opposite side would deliberately line up to greet Jack.
I used to be your substitute, now I'm your coach
The starting point guard Terminator is just a joke, Jack's story continues, this year's sun is blowing, maybe there is a championship! After all, paul, who had been usurped by him, was still playing. [Treacherous laughter]
