He carried that St. Joseph's team and I'd argue he helped get Delonte West drafted,just because of how much exposure and attention Jameer brought with him.

[@jaypaulauskas7108]

30 year Magic fan, watched nearly Every game of yours. So loved your work and leadership. Thank you sir.

[@markalan958]

That undefeated team was when I was at St. Joes as a freshman and Meer and Delonte used to come into the athletic office and were cool. I used to work there as a part-time job.

The Magic are the area team here in the Tampa Bay area. Jameer is without question one of the all time great Magic players on the court and off the court. Jameer is awesome.

[@johncrook9519]

I saw Nelson's St. Joe's team play in the NCAA Sweet 16. Always liked him. The podcast is great.

[@GoodBeardDay]

Jameer is a cool and humble dude. Used to play on the courts with him in Chester PA, even dropped him off at his crib a few times after we played. He was one of those dudes that played casually against us regular dudes, but turned into a monster against the real comp in HS and college. Him and Delonte West were nice at St Joe's in Philly too. And he's not lying about playing the best player in Chester for 1500, he played a dude name Black Magic. We were all surrounding them as they played.

[@rashadellison9593]

I appreciate Q accidently asking the realest ? about that playoff run.. Bcuz Rafer was doin his thing n it was a REAL controversy n giving Jameer the opportunity to speak on it.. N he had a great answer for it...

[@karlgeraldbastien5023]

Late 2010s Magic team was so tough, Jameer Nelson was a stocky guard - it was unfortunate with the injuries they definitely could’ve gotten back to the finals had Dwight and Jameer stayed healthy. Salute!

You mean late 2000s

[@royaltyalign417]

I looked up to Jameer’s game back in college and knew this he was going to be special. Having him score 40 points and 20 assists to Dwight on 2k. I’m happy to know a guard I looked up to is an honorable man and a good role model for his kids.

Jameer Nelson was Special - That was Orlando's Guy after Tracy McGrady left. Jameer Nelson with Dwight Howard gave us a special run with the Orlando Magic. I remember that controversial decision because there was a shift in the momentum but we never were mad at our Guy Jameer Nelson - Losing never feels good especially after making it to the NBA FInals- In fact I was there courtside and met Rhianna and a lot of stars so Thank you Orlando Magic
