And here we are 40 years later:
Young plays against the hornets in summer league action tonight FWIW
Last couple of games Young has stepped up his game. Started last night. Has had trouble from 3 all summer but doing other tangible things.
I wish him the exact same amount of success I’d have oah any other random player. I don’t hate him or have ill will but he is not a Niner.
JY had 21 last night vs the Pelicans:

Man did I have to dig deep to find this thread. There shouldn’t be such a long time between posts. We need more Niners in the pros.
He’s still not a Niner.
All of these mention Jahmir’s Niner connection:
A fitting bucket for him as well. I bet he score a lot in the nba with with breakdown/lazy defenses. He knew how to get to the rim.
The misconception of no defense in the NBA reminds of the poster boy for not playing on both ends of the court and the repercussions thereof - Rodney White. By the time he got to his third team in four seasons in 2005, the verdict was in - “No D” White was out of the league for good.
