My wife hates Jackson and feels compelled to remind me of that whenever he makes a bad play and sometimes after he makes a good one. My side of this conversation goes something like this:
  • Yes, I know.
  • So you keep telling me.
  • Got it!
  • OK you just have to stop…

No one calls him that. It's a crappy movie from what, 1985? I doubt anyone on the team has even heard of the movie.

His coaches and teammates call him 'Dre. Leave it at that. AJ or Jackson is probably fine as a shorthand.

At least it's better than "the wrench"... but barely.

Action Jackson.

RIP.

Announcers force feeding that nickname is the kiss of death. Nothing organic about it.

His passing really is elite for a wing. Some of those entry passes to the post were just phenomenal & he has a good bball IQ. Just needs to continue working on that shot & the sky is the limit.

Announcers mentioned the hockey assists. The alley oop from Gaff to Akok was set up by AJax getting the steal and quick pass up court by AJax to Gaff.

'Tee Pee shoots...it's in the hole!'
then,
'Now if we can only get him to clean up around the rim.'

ok, these two are so dang funny.
broke the net right thar. close it all down cuz there is nothing left, but the sounds of ringing laughter.
A+
(meaning nothing aboot the player, and everything aboot the comedy.)

that announcer guy (lavin) was trying waaaaay soo hard last night to shoehorn 'action jackson' into every comment, that it almost killed the nickname. on the udder hand, i'll cut him a bit of slack since i usually like him. the other announcer? thro him in the ocean, or send him to a jenny craig weight thing. lately, many announcers just can't seem to shut up.
my fav from him? when the rj 3 was reviewed. cheeseball was certain, with only the from under the basket replay view, that it was no good. hey putz! is it possible that a side view would show that his fingers were off the ball? guy almost had a stroke when they called it good, and, of course, immediately began a speech sounding in 'forget everything i just said!'

Was also Chris Jackson’s nickname, at least until he became Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf…
