As always, JoJo just seems just a bundle of energy. We thought he was back in Philly – and maybe he was, briefly – but he’s back (still) in Qatar testing his new Adamantium limbs out in public. But again, Qatar Tennis guy, that’s not Nerlens Noel. This is Nerlens Noel:

When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
