Jackson Simmons Earns East-West MVP

Posted Jul 19, 2011
It didn’t take long for Jackson Simmons to let his opponents know how seriously he was taking the East-West All-Star game on Thursday. Just 30 seconds into the West’s 100-93 win, Simmons posted up East center Tyrece Little, threw up a hook shot and turned to say something to him under his breath after it went down. From there the 6-foot-7 forward from Sylva, N.C. scored 19 points and pulled down 15 rebounds in an MVP-award-winning effort. (Inside Carolina)
