Mike James is inspirational. He went from Juco to D1, gets in the NBA, leaves the NBA, kills in the Euro league for a few years, then gets back in the NBA with a couple of 10-day contracts to a long-term contract for a championship contender. The grind and drive he has is amazing. I hope the Nets get the chip

[@jonkakaley4906]

If anyone has ever wondered how crazy difficult it is to make it onto an NBA roster consider this: Mike James had to claw and fight his way just to be on the bench of the Brooklyn Nets. Unbelievably skilled player, but at his height it's very difficult to get your shot off on NBA defenders. Unbelievable player. Wish him the best.

[@stevenwhiters8928]

He has decent size/athleticism for his position but him scoring on an nba level was never a question. Don’t forget there are politics to the NBA guys that are considered “instant offense” “microwave scorers “ gets bad rep teams rather go for low risk-low reward players but I still agree with most of your points

[@JayzsMr]

@@stevenwhiters8928 that's why he basically scores with ease now in the nba and takes on players no problem . There are many factors for not making the nba even if the skill is there

[@ceionteperry4764]

Why you actin like he wasn't a starter lol he didn't claw lol you dragging it

[@ceionteperry4764]

He was a starter bro for the suns wtf is u talking bout lol

[@CikaDraza]

See thats where the issue is, the scouts in the USA are dimensions focused and stat focused, mainly looking into athleticism as the criteria on whether or not someone will be great. Look at Jokic for instance. If he was recruited by standard american scouts he would have never been able to show the world what he is capable of. He was picked up by a Serbian scout who saw potential in him through a newspaper article. Most NBA teams passed on him thinking he would be nothing, but look at him now. Basketball is more than wingspan, height and speed. Humans are inteligent beings, capable of adapting and utlizing their own advantages and skills that others dont have. Its insane thinking that Mike James with such skill sets has to ride the bench or have to fight to get to the league.

[@Sky_TEC_Illustraition_Systems]

From the viewers perspective: The ball handlers joint maneuverability moves in a fluid reversed triangular motion during a time when metacarpal phalanges force ball movement from right to left to enable the explosive spin kinetics between both sets of the Teres major, Teres minor, infraspinatus. The humerus, the scapula, the serratus and external oblique lliac crest insertion cradles these weapons seamlessly allowing the transfer of all weight from vastus Lateralus through the left patella from the right without hesitation. Both the tibia and the fibula show no signs of weakness during their explosiveness resulting in what will be a spin and step back maneuver all of which would be impossible without a heighten sensitivity to equal weight distribution through the lumbar and thoracic sections of a healthy spine. 😁
