    Who gave him the nickname "the juice"???

    Or is it "bring the juice"?

    Or he being part of the Juice Unit.

    Appear he himself coined the name "the juice unit". So I guess he's now Jonathon "Bring the Juice" Simmons?

    I bet you Simmons was a fan of Shawn Kemp growing up. He does the airplane gesture after almost every dunk like Kemp use to do. Nice pass by Boban at the end of the video to Simmons. It's going to be awesome watching these two play together in the future. You can tell they already has good chemistry.

    Don't think he has a prayer but I think it'd be great to see Simmons in the rookie all star game.

    If Nando can make it, I think Simmons can as well. Not too much compe ion at the wing to be honest.

    Maybe, just don't think he's been getting any hype. In a no defense all-star game I think he'd be spectacular.

    Spurs deserve to have 3 players on that Sop re/Rookie game. Simmons, Boban and Anderson.

    I mean, got to compensate for the 1 player in the all-star game. Talk about a travesty, GSW may have like 3 players on the all-star game and Spurs will only have one.

    Problem is that the players are selected by assistant coaches and there are a lot of players who get playing time every game while Simmons, Boban, Anderson have had limited, spotty exposure to the coaches. Nevertheless I hope they do, particularly Simmons, he's made for that kind of venue.

    Probably the best game of Jonathon 'The Juice' Simmons as a Spur:

    The Juice, already a better nickname than the stupid "The Klaw".

    I would have preferred the nickname "Magneto" for Kawhi.

    Simmons has shown a great ability to cut and play off the ball. As he continues to play with the team and they get used to his tendencies I see him getting a lot of easy buckets for us as the season goes on. This guy can do a little bit of everything. So excited to have him.

    I agree with you. Yet another thing in which the Spurs depth is not good for players statwise. On the one hand, the main guys get rested at lot and are not boosting stats in garbage time, therefore they go underrated in the big scheme of things.

    On the other, they do that to also allow young players to develop who are not playing minutes in hotly contested games, which then diminishes the real recognition these newer players deserve. I think the fact Simmons is getting some minutes lately should be recognized, but he came out of nowehere and didn't get minutes until mid december. That is a real small sample. He should get in, but so should Boban and Anderson. I do think at least one of them should make it, probably Simmons as he's the one in the rotation, and like someone mentioned above, he will put on a show.

    Would not be surprised if none make it and that would be a travesty. I mean how can you ignore Boban's production? He will also put on a show, and Anderson's passing? Count on all the lobs.... Just put these 3 with two others our there and you will get a show I say.

    I have to agree. Whoever told Bill Land to say that? And the NBATV crew especially Dennis Scott keeps using that nickname for Kawhi.
    I think it's even more interesting that not only does Simmons already have a nickname but he also has a weird little celebration every time he dunks the ball.

    That's Shawn Kemp's airplane move. He did that after almost every dunk.

    Who is better atm ? Simmons or ginobili? Obviously I'd take ginobili for important minutes but Simmons skill level is probably superior at this point.

    I'm high on Simmons and think he could legitimately crack the playoff rotation by the end of the year, but come on. Manu is clearly still better at this point.

    ^^^^
    + to be fair to both, Simmons lacks the experience the comparison even at this point is not on the same level. A lot of Simmons highlights are in garbage time and when he's in the rotation he plays off other players and is opportunistic with his chances. He's not forcing things like Manu does in the clutch. Not saying I don't eventually see him doing that, but he's not doing it right now so I don't see him on the same level.

    He had a little spark for the spurs against Cleveland. I think Pop pulls young guys quick when they play good against good teams, so they can keep that confidence of knowing they're good enough, before they mess it up.
    It seems to be working, because his confidence is sky rocketing compared to early season.

    Well Anderson played really well against Cleveland too but he has no chance on dethroning anyone in the rotation. Simmons has benefited from Danny sucking... aside from that he has improved, don't want it to seem sour, but there were only a few minutes available anyways this season, they were just widened bc if Danny. At this rate Simmons could be the better player but is Pop really going to eliminate Danny's minutes? I don't see it.
