Then -- just as a little honor from me -- my favorite Mitchell Anderson memory was right near the end of the great win at Syracuse in the 1982 NIT, JJ grabbed a rebound, dribbled the length of the floor and slammed it home - probably taking a few extra steps along the way, but who cared, the buzzer sounded on the big Braves win!


But here's how Anderson was given the nickname "JJ"...

But here's a little take on all this that's quite interesting.......

I have absolutely no doubt that our "JJ", Mitchell Anderson has turned out to be a very fine individual who will have a lasting legacy...

But how did the original "JJ" turn out.......

The actor who was JJ (JJ Evans) in the TV sitcom "Good Times" was Jimmy Walker.
Walker was an incredibly popular actor at the end of the run of Good Times in 1979, but simply never was able to parlay his fame and success at that time into a solid career.
Other than a few short "guest" appearances on TV shows like The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Scrubs, and The Match Game....he has virtually never been seen since, much to the dismay of his loyal fans, many of whom still adore Jimmy/JJ!!
His occasional stand up comedy appearances are still popular....but there's actually more to this....

Jimmy Walker is said to be a bit unpopular in and around Hollywood mainly because of his political views.
Almost all of Hollywood - save for a very, very few already well-established actors like Charlton Heston, are almost all ultra, ultra liberals....yet Jimmy Walker is a solid conservative. Sad that people are dissed because of their views, but it shows a little of the seedy and dark side of what being a real liberal or Hollywood elite really is.

But all this has not stopped Jimmy and he's brave enough and committed enough to hold true to his beliefs...
Here's his web site.....

His views......

A really conservative viewpoint!!

Then - the final proof if you need one that Jimmy Walker has some very conservative political views....
this is who he hangs around with and is dating...
