16. Jimmy's the man. Loved his fighting attitude when he was on the court. He's the same off the court. Good for him. I doubt he did anything wrong. I'm sure it was just some rent-a-cop wanting to feel important and abusing what little power he had.

18. You go Jimmy! You can take the boy out of Belleville but you can't take the Belleville out of the boy. We still love you back in Illinois!
