Anybody else watch Jimmer doing his thing against Florida in first half . Not hitting his outside shot but still keeping his team right there with the Gators . For a Peacock fan and a hoops junkie , I kept having KeeKee flashbacks - not comparing their talents directly because Jimmer obviously has better range , quickness and handle than our great did .
But the remarkable similarity is that every player on the other team has him marked as the guy , and he still finds a way as KeeKee did so many times for us . I get the same 'wow , how did he do that feeling ! ' I literally get the chills watching this guy do everything on the court that he does under that level of pressure . Jimmer is playing against better guys than KeeKee did but he is also playing with a lot better guys than KeeKee did .I still get a kick out of many MAAC fans - when commenting about all-time MAAC bests dismiss KeeKee as just a scorer . KeeKee wasn't one of the best MAAC players that I have ever seen . He was the best one , and he played for our Peacocks . Edit - My apologies to Lionel - KeeKee is the MAAC player ever among the teams currently making up the conference .
