Jabari Goes Off

Jabari Ali Parker had himself a game against the Trail Blazers. Jabari is reminding any doubters why he was picked second overall in 2014–this dude can ball. Sometimes Jabari looks simply unguardable, and Wednesday night was one of those times.

Parker’s three-point shot may still be a work in progress, but even without a high three-point percentage Jabari has no trouble scoring. He made one-of-five threes against the Blazers, but still managed 27 points.

Jabari put up three rebounds and an assist too, but he was there to score against Portland and that’s what he did. Seeing Jabari dunk all over fools never gets old.

Milwaukee’s young stars are getting to the point where other teams just have no answer. There’s no way to shut down these dudes anymore–they may have off nights here or there, but Jabari and Giannis are showing the entire NBA that Milwaukee is no longer content with lottery picks and a “maybe next year” mentality.
