OT? What is Jelly Fam?

[husky429]

Sid Wilson is a part of "jelly fam" according to my players. I have absolutely no idea what this is, and I'm not even that old.

One of our more youthful boneyarders, can you explain?

Does it have something to do with "jelly" layups?

I am that old. But I can Google...
Jelly Fam: Welcome to the New Hoops Phenomenon

Sounds like orc mischief to me.

Jelly Fam is just their group of friends: Wilson, Quinerly, Washington etc. but yeah, jelly is just when you do a fancy layup. Like this:

So, how is this different from Iverson, Kenny Anderson, Tiny Archibald or Dr J and what they did at Rucker Park 20-30 years ago?

Because it is called jelly fam and what they did wasn't. Other than that it is exactly the same.

because they call it something and pretend they started some movement. To me, Jalen Adams is full on Jellyfam, but I'm sure the kiddies in here will tell us that Sid Wilson taught him that. I personally enjoy it, Jalen is at times a wizard out there, so if he wants to call it jellyfam and he and Wilson do it every other time down the court, cool. Points is points

What does that have to do with "Jelly Fam"

Way back in the Dark Ages, kids much preferred the ABA to the NBA because of Dr. J, Iceman and others who invented style points in hoops. The stodgy NBA had no choice but to shut it down thru merging. Whole lotta tri-colored basketballs sold back then.

I'm aware of the ABA but what does that have to do with kids starting a clique called "Jelly Fam"

Just furthers the style over substance concept.

If we had Snapchat, we would've invented it first

True! Give it a few more years and you will be that old guy though.

 

[CL82]

The ironic part is I can see a whole bunch of old guys yelling Jelly if Sid blows by his defender and takes it to the hole.

Funny.

 

[Travelman6]

So some young people are pretending they created something new, when they didn't, and just attaching some dumb sounding buzz word to it to make it sound new, when it's not.

Copy cat!

 

[olehead]

Funny.

Best poster ever. Ice in what looks like a frozen basketball court, cooly sitting on ice w/ legs crossed bedecked in a light silver suit, palming two ice basketballs. The epitome of cool.

You got Jamfam led by Zion Williamson and Jellyfam (my son's favorite) led by Isaiah Washington, Sid Wilson and other NYC metro kids.

 

[Burnsbros23]

It’s a movement that causes kids 12-16 to miss a bunch of layups

But they look good doing it.

Had it on my wall, along with the Jordan Wings poster, Shawn Kemp Reign Man with the Space Needle in the background, Barkley in Philly, Chocolate Thunder, The Dream Team, and a full size standing cutout of Clyde the Glide Drexler.
