    Agreed. 2003 SJax was an extremely fun player to root for but it wasn't because he was a great player. If you factor in the highs and lows, 2003 SJax was an overall neutral force. But you could count on him to keep playing at his normal level no matter the situation. When it comes to winning pressure-packed games, that's an invaluable trait. All it takes is an ounce of fear to derail an otherwise great team.
    Whottt used to make a great argument in Jax's defense for his bad series vs the Lakers, was due to Phil Jackson being scared to death by him.

    He was great vs Phoenix, bad vs LA, OK to good vs Dallas, and mediocre until game 6 vs New Jersey.

    Its the Speedy syndrome. You only remember the highs, but don't remember the lows.

    Which is why people should take sample size into consideration when it comes to playoff basketball.

    But that would be the wise thing to do, so that's obviously hard to do.

    My biggest knock on RJ wasn't his stats, it was his statlines. He was just as likely to score 20 as he was to score 2. Average is nice, but it doesn't help you in the playoffs. Jack could really be this year's Glenn Robinson, who never put up big numbers as a Spur, but always seemed to put up the most important numbers at the most important times. How big an upgrade is it now?
