The Knicks' $2.5M Per Hour Man
Authored by Christopher Reina - January 19, 2009 - 4:46 pm



Jerome James ruptured his Achilles tendon and quite possibly is finished as an NBA player. He still has one year remaining at $6.6M on his five-year, $29M contract.

I reluctantly admit to liking the signing at the time for two main reasons:

a.) James had a very good season for an exciting and successful 04-05 Sonics team that culminated with an excellent playoff series against Sacramento in which he averaged 17.2 points and 9.4 rebounds.

b.) Acquiring Eddy Curry in a long drawn out negotiation with Chicago was a long shot scenario and Isiah Thomas had already dealt Nazr Mohammed months earlier in the deal that netted David Lee and also traded Kurt Thomas for Quentin Richardson and Nate Robinson. The remaining bigs on the roster at that point were rookies Lee and Channing Frye, plus Malik Rose, Mike Sweetney, Jackie Butler and Maurice Taylor.

James had more combined turnovers (75) and personal fouls (179) than points was just about as apathetic as any player I've seen. My most lasting vision of his tenure will be when I saw him counting multiple hundred dollar bills all by himself after another game in which he didn't even dress for.

Congrats to James and Marc Fleisher for landing this deal and here are a few creative accounting ways in how that $29M played out on the floor, assuming he indeed doesn't return in 09-10:

$2,507,204.61 per hour on the floor

$325,842.70 per game played

$130,044.84 per point scored

$177,914.11 per rebound

$743,589.74 per blocked shot

Nice info amamangloy! Jerome James was a complete bust but he was lucky to showcase some of his stuff that last season with the Sonics before free agency when their main big man went down. That netted him the millions he has now. I don't think makabalik pa ning tawhana. Dugay naman ni cya nahanaw gud.

The Sonics at that time were underdogs bisag nakadaug pa sila ug 52 games basing on their lineup. They had Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis plus intact jud ila lineup for 2 years. Although di jud kaayo taas ug chemistry time ila lineup, the players knew their roles. Mao ning nakapataas ug stock ni Jerome James.

Hayahay jud kaayo sya. Maghuwat nalang jud siya mahuman iya contract next year.
