After not playing a second through the first 22 games of the season, late in game 23, Jerome James gracefully tore his sweat suit off, pumped up his Air Jordan sneakers and stepped out onto the floor. He was not out their to chest bump Al Harrington after a monster game or slap David Lee five after a great performance; rather, he was actually out there to be on the court while the game clock actually moved.
He certainly earned his keep last year as he made a whopping $21,167.88 per second on the court (that is $5.8 mil for 4:34 of game action). This year, there were fears within the league that James would be playing so much he would be able to sue the Knicks for not paying him enough. The fear was that James' minutes played divided into hours would equate to such a vast amount of time that even the many millions of dollars his contract was for would not equal minimum wage for the hours of work.
Turns out, that the agreement the Knicks reached was to not play him until the 23rd game of the season in order to eliminate any potential suit on James' behalf.
Well, congrats to Jerome on his first points of the season, but we all really know that he is in there for his defense, take a look:
HE IS THE ONE IN GREEN WHO TURNS AROUND AND WATCHES SHAQ!
IT TAKES TALENT TO LET A GUY 5 INCHES AND 85 POUNDS LIGHTER THAN YOU DO THAT!
Gotta love Isaiah Thomas and his brilliant signings!
