From the most recent ‘Bill Simmons Podcast’
But Orlando at number 20 I’m gonna, every time I do this I’m gonna have a BSS all star of the week and it’s gonna be, I used to do this when I, when I wrote my column back in the day JI used to call 'em the Bill Simmons all stars. Just people that I just liked for whatever reason. I love Jalen Suggs. I don’t really know fully what he is. He tries harder than everybody on every other team. He really gives a shit. He feels additive in all these different ways and, and yet at the same time he’ll absolutely like Airball a three in one of the biggest moments of the game.
But that guy caress, I watched a game where he got this hustle rebound, I can’t remember who they, they lost at the buzzer, get this hustle rebound and dribbled back out and took a three and missed it and put his jersey over his head for like the next minute and a half. I actually think he might’ve been crying. He was so upset they lost. He is the most competitive random guy in the league. I love Jalen Sugg. Ohs said it’s a Laker game. I love Jalen Suggs. I don’t know what he is. He might just end up being like a seventh man on a championship team at some point he’s gonna have a moment on a good team. I don’t know if Orlando’s gonna be the team, but it’s gonna happen for that dude.
We hear about players who are talented who don’t really care. I think derozan alluded to this on podcast P. We know for a fact whatever is jalen’s potential he will absolutely reach.
