Blog Spotlight Jimmy Time Every Time

I know most of the people that look at my blog(Seth)have been waiting for this moment for a long time. This is actually the hardest blog spotlight that I have had because what can you say about Jimmy that will capture the essence that is James Phillips. I don't think anyone understands him. He sure hasn't made it an easy task. He lives his life in a way that sometimes you just want to go up to him and say "You forgot to not do that". The first time I met Jimmy he was but a smallish high schooler at the illustrious Platte Valley Academy. I was surprised to find a young man with way more confidence then he should have had. Our teams played each other and I will admit he had a way better game then I wanted him to. You see that is thing about Jimmy. He is always there for the big moments. He lives for the spotlight. And when it is on him he takes his game up a notch. That would put it at notch one. We had many battles in the thunderdome. He lives by the saying "go big or go home". I have never in my life seen a person "go big" as much as Jimmy. Jimmy and I will probably go down in history as the two biggest ball hogs ever at Union College. While I was happy to dribble around not goin anywhere at the top of the key Jimmy would pull the 35 footer like it was a free throw. He embraced the role of ball hog and took it to the next level and I appreciate that. This is all the tip of the Iceberg when it comes to Jimmy. I could write a whole book from what I have learned from him. And that is what makes Jimmy a great guy. He is loyal to all of his friends and he lives his life to the fullest. It is Jimmy time every time and I am not mad at that.
