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.
The Jalen Suggs experience is chaos, and I’m always slightly terrified watching him.
He’s wild and out-of-control, which is both to our benefit and detriment.
