Frankly, I would reserve the nickname “The Juice” for a player who is obviously using steroids. It’s like calling a player “The ‘Roid” or “Gym Candy”. I don’t know what it refers to in Simmons’ case since it doesn’t seem to me like he’s using steroids, but whatever it’s a reference to (perhaps his love…

Jonathon Simmons 19 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2016)
This is the first time in my nearly half-decade of highlight making that I have heard the word “naughty” used to reference a slam dunk. And I sincerely hope it is the last. “Naughty” is a word that has no place being uttered inside a place of basketball. That’s a word reserved for two things:…

Idea for a new end-of-season video: a missed-dunkilation. It would be like my dunks of the year video, except instead of the dunks going in the rim the dunks would not go in the rim.

Jonathon Simmons is one of the winners of this year’s “Which random player will the Spurs keep on the end of their bench?” lottery, after having picked four of the five winning numbers correctly. Rasual Butler was the grand prize winner, with the selections of 5, 14, 25, 62, and 63. DownToBuck picked none of…

Jonathon Simmons? I don’t know much about him, other than that he has been groomed by the Spurs organization for a couple years now, down in the D-League. That’s enough info for me to make some logical conclusions. Logical conclusion #1: He is a beast Logical conclusion #2: You can probably forget about Kawhi Leonard…
