The sleepy-eyed Bobby Simmons made a return to the NBA last night, re-joining his former team the Los Angeles Clippers for a match-up against the rising Minnesota Timberwolves. Clearly, the Clips weren’t the same Clips that Simmons left behind back in 2005; no longer the laughing stock of the league, Los Angeles was now a title contender and Simmons would be depended on for his veteran presence rather than his statistical output. However, his on-court abilities were at one point noticed and rewarded by Jordan Brand as he was officially added to the roster of Jumpman athletes, and plenty of Bobby Simmons Air Jordan Retro PEs exist, like the Air Jordan XIII he wore last night. While his return wasn’t exactly on the level of fellow NBDL-er and 10-Day Contract man Jeremy Lin, Simmons was welcomed warmly by the Clippers faithful, who remembered his efforts and his Most Improved Player award in 2005. Let’s hope Bobby regains his previous form, because we’d love to see more Air Jordan PEs! via ESPN
