The Junk Yard Dog getting some love

This is an Insider article by John Hollinger, listing the All Underrated Team. Jared Dudley is listed as the starting small forward:

"Dudley is one of the smartest players in the league, and now that he's on a winning team in Phoenix, he's starting to garner attention for it. Although he has some physical limitations thanks to a somewhat chunky build, he's a good outside shooter (37.8 percent on 3-pointers for his career) and an excellent rebounder for his size.

What's given him an additional boost this season, however, is his newfound defensive nastiness. He's harassing 3s and smaller 4s with his physicality and willingness to take charges, making him an important cog in Phoenix's surprising early success."

Ugh.

we can't call him that, that's Jerome Williams' nickname

Sucks...it's so fitting.

Good to see him getting some props, but hope he doesn't garner too much attention or when he's a FA we're not going to be able to keep him

Nice article

Yeah everytime I see someone call him this I think about Jerome Williams. It's really not that hard for the media to use a new nickname.

It must be. Jerome Williams stole the name from the REAL JunkYard Dog! His real name was Sylvester Ritter. So even though when YOU hear the name JunkYard Dog YOU think of Williams, but when I hear the name, I think of the ORIGINAL!

REST IN PEACE BROTHER!

Why won't STUDLEY catch on?

Because people are way too concerned about sounding "ghey", and we'll see so many "NO HOMO" comments for no reason.

Yeah, Duds mentioned it a while back, that he had had it for years but never really liked the nickname much although he tried to take it as a compliment.

"Yesssss - Big Gay SweetAss for 3"

"LoveMuffin, in the lane, puts up a floater"

"Dudley Manlove puts a body on Pierce .... his hot, sweaty body"

Seriously, Dudley Manlove was an actor in Plan 9
