My Take
Jim Jackson's career makes me grin in admiration. A 198 cm guard out of Toledo, Ohio and Ohio State, he spent fourteen NBA seasons suiting up for twelve different franchises, once a league record for journeymen. It would be easy to read that as instability, but I see the opposite: a player good enough that team after team wanted his services and his veteran savvy. I'm drawn to careers like his, the long, winding road rather than the superstar express lane. Jackson left his mark on a dozen fan bases through sheer reliable craft, and that durable, substance-over-flash longevity earns my quiet applause.
