Jim Jackson: Did a Love Triangle turn this future NBA star into a Journeyman? | FPP
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- He had one of the greatest basketball careers for the Ohio State Buckeyes and would be the first guard taken off the board in the 1992 draft, shortly after hall of famers like Shaquille O’Neal and Alonzo Mourning. But from the beginning he painted himself in a negative as he held out for the majority of his rookie season for the Dallas Mavericks. The next two years looked promising as they drafted Jamal Mashburn in 1993 and Jason Kidd in 1994 to create their Three J’s trio. But after two years of improvement and big playoff dreams going into 1996, an early season with Kidd, Jackson and singer Toni Braxton led to a love triangle that destroyed a young team with so much potential. And Jackson’s career would never be the same after this as over the 10 years he would play for 11 teams and never be able to recreate his individual success in Dallas. He struggled with knee pain throughout his career and always seemed to be on losing teams. But just as it seemed his career would be over, he re-invented himself as a 3 and D player and became one of the best 3 point shooters in the NBA for a a 5 year stretch. And he would end his career with 4 straight playoff appearances where he would be a valuable postseason performer every time. It’s hard to put a grade on Jim Jackson’s career due to so many variables and you can’t help but wonder if he is “what if” who could have been a starter if circumstances were different or if he was a player who excelled on bad teams, but was better suited as a role player on good teams. But regardless, he kept his career alive for nearly a decade in a half to become on the greatest Journeymen in NBA history.

I don't think NBA and NFL fans realize how wonderful this channel is. Do you realize how many players this man can do?
PAUSE
A year from now this is going to be a 400k-500k subscriber channel. It’s wonderful
This page is really awesome. You’ve been cranking these videos out nonstop.
Yep, unlimited content.
@stuntedgrowth
In 1994 when mj retired jim jackson was the one player I thought would be the next big thing, underrated talent excellent handle for a big guard post game jumper and he could run point, Jamal Mashburn was another underrated monster talent, that mavs team should have been special
Jimmy didnt have a jumper. He was always a streaky shooter
As a lifelong UK fan I was looking for Dallas to make a few moves and become a good team when Mashburn was drafted but nope. Not the case lol. I thought the next one up at that time was gonna be either Penny Hardaway or Grant Hill who both were phenomenal players early on in their careers. The Magic could’ve been a legit dynasty if Shaq wasn’t such a glory whore😂 with him, Penny, Nick Anderson, Scott Skiles, Horace Grant and a few good role players and that team would’ve been a problem in the east
@@wildcat8598 shaq leaving Orlando was one of the biggest gambles ever, that magic team was literally magic, fun to watch, penny was healthy, d Scott threes with Horace who couldn't miss midrange jumpers, sheesh what a team that was, but his gamble worked and him and kobe made history
I remember Jim and Jason and Jamal was supposed to be the original trio aka Heatles lol
No they werent and Miami wasnt the first or only big 3 they didnt even start that term yall just ONLY KNOW LEBRON’s NBA
They shoulda been
Youngsters- This is prof that being a good teammate and being “coachable “ means something…
This right here
So true.
Jim Jackson was legit, it's a shame he never found a place where he could have remain
I remember he held out on his Dallas contract in 1993 because the Lakers were looking to trade for him. Jackson was looked at as a Mitch Richmond in 1993 but he never reached his potential. JR Isiah Rider was the same.
@@lilpenny1982this dude was never on Mitch Richmond's level
Should have stayed with Sac
Do Kerry Kittles! Would've won Big East Player of the Year literally any other years, except in his days he was in the same conference as Allen Iverson and Ray Allen
Jimmy Jackson was one of my favorite players during his high school college and early NBA career.... He had the skill set and athleticism to be one of the top shooting guards for the history of the NBA until the injuries hit him.
This man been on numerous teams. He must know what damn near all the locker rooms are like.
Except the bubble
Those early years were a perfect time to be a kid in Dallas falling in deep with basketball. The triple J's were fun and the tickets were cheap. My pops used to buy the nosebleeds for the low. The arena would be so empty they'd ask people to move down to the lower sections 😂
I like this one former Ohio state great and a solid guard salute Jim Jackson
Jim should have been a stud! Scoring crazy averages with a good 3-pointer come on dawg! All of these guys had incredible talent and sadly most of them had massive ego problems.
FPP! Please consider trying to get an interview with these former players to really what went right and what went wrong and what they do with their lives after the NBA. I think that'll be an amazing life lesson for humanity
Hopefully I can expand into doing that one day 🤞
He had beautiful shooting form and great touch around the rim. His first step was really nice. He had all the tools, but probably too much success too soon by being such a star in high school. It seems like he never really handled the mental side of that success very well.
Shooting form was not beautiful. Shot had a weird spin off his fingers which is why his jumper was so inconsistent
Yeah he didn’t really have the greatest shooting form but was one hell of a player. It’s a shame how many young Men who get these God given gifts and don’t make the most of it. Then again I mean he was in the NBA for years and made millions of followers doing it so I guess it was exactly squandered 😂
Kenny Anderson Corey Maggette Antonio McDyess I mean the list goes on and on. Just an awesome channel
I literally look forward to each one of these 🔥
A Toni Braxton special here
At least they had-GOOD-taste,Toni Braxton is-GORGEOUS !!! LOL. Especially back then,she was worth fighting over. LOL.
@@user-be7tc2bd6e hell yea 1994 Toni Braxton was the #1 seed…
@@chubbsescobar708 AGREED.Some things are worth fighting over. LOL.
@@user-be7tc2bd6e you damn simps....😂🤣
I found myself loudly saying "DAMN!" throughout this report. From his horrible team records to being on 4 teams in 2 years to just... ALL OF IT. He was such a talented player. It's like his career was cursed.
"DAMN!"
Damn good report tho💪🏾
I let out an audible “HM” when I heard the Mavs were 4-50
BRUH..... 😂😂😂😂😂😂 This statement. BEYOND relatable. Me too, G..
To this day, it still puzzles me to see how relatively little success this JJJ Dallas team of the early 90's had. They had a legit big 3
JIM WAS MY MAN!! LOVED HIS GAME!!
Jimmy Jackson… I forgot his 6 man role … true journey man respect
I would love to see an episode with Calbert Cheaney. Love the videos, keep up the great work
Look up Stunted Growth. There’s a Calbert one
In 99 there were only 50 games so he played almost the entire year at 49 games
This whole time I thought Jackson was out with an injury majority of his rookie. He really held out for 54 games.
54 games-DANG !!! And still got the contract/money he wanted-boss moves. LOL.
This channel is amazing. I’m a big NBA nerd and randomly think about all the random players from the past. That JJJ Dallas team was something. Tell me they don’t at least get to a conference finals. I’m from Tulsa Oklahoma home of Wayman Tisdale! You should do a video on his career.
I became a Mavs fan when they had the triple J’s. J Jackson J Mashburn and J Kidd were pretty fun to watch but they could never seem to put it all together as a team. It seem like only one could shine at a time.
As a Mavs fan the whole triple J era is a big what if for me. (Also Roy Tarpley, but that would be a depressing video)
Jim Jackson wow!!!!
He was a shooter fr
Jimmy was not a shooter
He was so good all teams wanted him
We Need Dat Elton Brand Vid 👀💯
He was injury prone and had a horrible attitude. He did seem to change his attitude/playing style in his thirties.
It's a damn shame that the first thing I think of when I hear Jim Jackson is the Toni Braxton incident. His reputation had been tainted by a popstar... the sheen irony.
Yahoo! Been waiting for this one! He was like very very underrated
Why did Phoenix suddenly stop playing him at all? It seemed like he had a role there and you didn't really get into why he went from a solid bench role to 24 straight DNPs. Great channel, I could watch this stuff all day.
Jim Jackson was giving dudes that work in college
I would like to see 1 of these on Calbert Cheaney. I never understood why he was not a more used player. He still is the all time leading scorer in the Big 10.
Too slow in the league and not enough motor
I just posted a similar comment above ;)
There’s a channel called Stunted Growth. Just did one on Calbert
J j was pretty solid during his prime years
Great video as usual...but Nelly didn't trade Kidd. he was hired after the Kidd trade.
Thank you for making this video. I always wondered why this trio didnt work out and why everyone got (traded).
Jim Jackson, aka the Immaculate Grid legend.
Selfishness and a one dimensional mentality is why Jackson played on 13 teams. He didn't just feud with Kidd, he feuded with Mashburn too. If you're a scorer and you can't play with J. KIdd, something is wrong with you.
Jason kidd was a problem as a youngster. Kidd thought he was jordan .
I subbed the heck out of this channel.
I remember as a kid having his relatively valuable rookie card and he wasn't even playing. I had no idea who he was. Always seemed so weird to me.
The background music and the calm tone of the narrator makes these videos a great choice for a relaxing watch
I’d like to see a video on JR Rider. Juwan Howard, Sam Perkins, Joe Smith and Dennis Scott
he had a good career made a lot of money
He did have a very good career all in all... I think in the right system, he had HOF potential.
Larry hughes and corey maggette next
Can we get big Sam Perkins
Definitely agree with Dallas trading him but Kidd and Mashburn should have stayed
THE THREE J's
Thank-You!! JJ is one of my fave players and there were so many highlights I had not seen.
I member reading that the days leading up to Jackson signing the contract , owner Donald Carter was flying him around the country in his private jet during the negotiations. Jackson, Dennis Hopson, Chuck Person, Chris Morris, lots of high number 1 picks that era where just ok to good.
Fam, spent the first 90 seconds FRYING dude, lol. How can I not finish this! 🤣🤣
Love the content forreal bro 👏🏾
So sad that these three guys kidd, mashburn and Jackson could not put there egos beside and create team chemistry
Rony Seikaly or Tom Gugliotta!! My bad, just saw that you already done a Gugliotta vid, nice!!

Damn Jason Kidd blew that team up.
It wasn't over toni Braxton 😂
Playing 14 years in the league is a pretty good career
That Ohio State team was really good.
That's back in the day when college basketball was-KING. You'd watch your favorite player from college ball to the pros.
@@user-be7tc2bd6e True. When players would stay 3 to 4 years in college so that they can improve their fundamentals and body.
@@lilpenny1982 So true,but,those dreams of no cut contracts,load manage,signing bonuses,endorsement deals,shoe contracts,etc,etc,..more and more players chose to leave college for-BIG-pay days.Some college players needed the money tho,their families were hurting fiancially.Some college players said they were breaking into other college students dorm rooms for things of value. I know,that was low-down. LOL. You'd think those boosters with shoe boxes of cash took care of that.
He averaged 14/4/3 & played for that many times? Maybe the most craziest thing in NBA
Jim Jackson grew up two blocks from my Grandfather in Toledo, Ohio
Brotha is it true one of the nicknames for Toledo is "Slowledo"?? I was talking to a sista from Toledo back in the day and she called it Slowledo..
JIM JACKSON WAS THE LAST PLAYER TO WEAR NUMBER 24 W/ THE LAKERS BEFORE KOBE BRYANT
I remember Jackson and Chris Gatling being the two players that could never stay on one team. The Mavericks were a joke in the 90’s. Three top 5 picks and no playoffs.
Unbelievable video as always my guy!!!
Jim was a beast jus got traded alot
I don't think the expectations for JJ were too high at all. He really was that guy
I always thought the form on his 3 point shots looked really nice.
Dope channel this... I had to sub.
Tell me your from canada without telling me your from canada lol boxing day?!?! Lol good stuff
the hoopgrids legend
Van Horn was my dude back in the day!!!
Can we get a video on Brandon Roy please?
🙏🏾 TOLEDO OHIO 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯
Wait! I never knew Mark Jackson played for the Jazz too!
Great channel.
I know that you'll never make a video about him. But one of the most complete players that I've ever seen was Shane battier nothing special just really good at everything
Jim Jackson could ball don’t get it twisted
Thank you
Never the less.
He ran with the Herd.
Hello. Respect to your video. I'm not sure if you've done this or if this is your avenue but I have a suggestion. How about Becky Hammond, Sebastian Telfair, Charlie Villanueva, Mike James to name a few. Just a suggestion.
I just remember that Jimmy Jackson had a pimple on his forehead for about four years.
😂😂😂
Awesome channel 👌
Toni Braxton cursed him
Toni Braxton just a pass around. 🤣🤣
Another banger
JIM JACKSON JUST ABOUT PLAYED 4 EVERY NBA TEAM
Keith Van Horn and/or Andre Miller!!!
Toni Braxton.. Team-wrecker.
Jim had some arms 💪🏾 for a shooting guard.
I would prefer not to hear so much about their college career

@@Turk_2023 As The Years Went By They Rarely Get Mentioned By Nba Players
How about the greatest player to never play past the first round, Big Al Jefferson
Tmac? Id love a Al Jefferson video too tho
@frankshouldice2490 I forgot about him not making it past that round. So yeah, T-Mac is the greatest for that category. Al got selected All-NBA without being selected to the as game. Al was a well polished big with great low post presence.
I thought T-Mac went to the finals with the Spurs?
@@artbarraza3579 he barely played any minutes that playoff run. He didn't even play one regular season game in SAS
@@artbarraza3579 thats technically correct, i forgot about that. Good memory
The three-headed monster they had in Dallas was crazy.. If Mark Cuban was running the organization back then..He definitely would have made it work
How many teams he played for😊😊😊
Alex English next please
ALL BEACUSE OF TONI BRAXTON
All that over Toni Braxton😂🤣🤣
TONI BRAXTON ENDED UP W/ NEITHER OF THEM
