Voices on Jerebko
Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet asked a few basketball profiles to comment on JJ during the all star weekend. You get the translation right here.
Worth knowing: This is translated from English to Swedish and then back to English again, ie. these cannot be considered exact quotes. Original article link: Aftonbladet.se
{Ed. Note: Jonas Jerebko has been one of the lone bright spots of this season, so front-paging this was an easy decision. Nice find!}
Magic Johnson: - I like him! You know, he's athletic. Nobody knew he'd be that athletic. And he's smart and he's the player that works the hardest of all the Pistons. He's only gonna get better and better because he's young. I really like his game. (To the reporter: Promise me you'll tell him I said so)
Patrick Ewing: - He's having a good year, a very skilled defender and he can also shoot threes. He hasn't been consistent in his shooting but he rebounds, blocks and does everything for his team.
Dominique Wilkins: - He's gonna be a great player. He's got a lot of energy and is already a very good rebounder.
Kobe Bryant: - He's got lots of talent, when we played the Pistons he was very active and worked the floor. It's important for him to keep on developing his game.
Dwight Howard: - I like him. He plays hard. Attacks the basket, shoots well and I really like his intensity. But what I like the most is that he never quits. Never. And he does it all. He contributes to offense and defense, he rebounds and blocks. He does whatever the coach tells him.
Chris Bosh: - He's found his role in Detroit. They've had big problems as a team, but he does a fantastic job as a rebounder. And he shoots well, I think he's underestimated as a shooter.
Chris Paul: - A really good player. When we played the Pistons the first time I thought: "who is this guy?". But after seeing him some more I really like him. He brings a lot of energy.
Kevin Love: - I saw him practicing with us during the pre-draft and he's very good. A big player, very tall and does a lot of good things out on the court. He's got the ability to really defend aginst certain players. And he's gonna get better and better, his offense is gonna get better. He really deserves being here. (At the Rookie All Star game)
Jonny Flynn: - He always comes out playing hard and brings a lot of energy. He plays tough. There are lots of players out there who don't like doing that. But he plays tough. Every time.

JJ makes me smile
Despite how bearded I may be, it is always refreshing to see him lay out on the floor. I thought we had something special when he set an NBA record by being the first player to get suspended on his first pre-season game.
Now if only we can get Laimbeer to teach JJ how to fight, then we’re talking a serious thorn in the opponents balls.

Looks like the title of a Christian Choral record from the 60s for some reason

"I didn’t even know Elvis was from Memphis, I thought he was from Tennessee." — Drew Gooden.
Granted
But I think it’s quite normal to feel an intense religious and spiritual feeling when talking about Jonas.
Hallelujah

last night van gundy gave him credit when they were talking about best rebounding rookies and how he never gives up even though he’s on a losing team, something rare

Jonny Flynn
is my favorite NBA rookie personality.
He understands the game and his role.
Its great to hear what all these great players think of JJ.
Well played...
Personally I think he should just be known as The Swedish Chef…after all he slices through the lane, dices up the defense, and his hook shot sort of reminds me of the way the swedish chef would flail his arms about while trying to put da meat in da shoe.
Jonas Jerebko once killed a charging female rhinoceros in heat protecting its young with nothing more than a hook shot.
I like the Chef
I bet he could cook up some marvelous shit to get yo mouth watering.

Swedish Sledgehammer?

The Swedish Fireball
I got from Fear & Loathing. It won’t stick though.

Thaaaaat's a stretch...speaking of which how about Stretch Jerebstrong?

The sound of a JJ 3 pointer = SWISH
The Sweet Swedish Swisher!!! Throwing some alliteration your way.
Simplify to Swedish Swish
Then you could take the candy wrapper, blow it up, and put Jerebko’s face on the face of each fish. Someone with mad photoshop skillz…do it now!

He has his own cheering section
At the Palace there seem to be two or three people that always bring a big sign that calls him “the Swedish Eagle”. I don’t know if that’s a name he got while playing in Italy or Sweden, but it does seem appropriate given the way he “flies” around the court and “sails” to the rim for rebounds and put-backs.

Yeah but since when do Eagles like to sail?
ITS NOT A SAILBOAT IS A SCHOONER…
A SCHOONER IS A SAILBOAT IDIOT!
