Jonny Flynn appreciation thread...

[jordville]

Love me some Jonny Flynn...
Having a great lead guard or guards for the Cuse is going to be so much fun again!

It would be great to see Jonny back at the Melo Center and dome. He was a stud from the beginning.

One of my favorite players to watch and root for. He was electric and I always felt like anything was possible when he had the ball in his hands.

Why hasn’t he come back????

I remember seeing him dunk on Michael Beasley in the MAA game.

Paul reposted the same video on his instagram, where he is pretty active. He talks about Jonny's playing days on social media so I think they are pretty close, but I haven't seen many updates on what Jonny is doing now.

Believe Jonny lives down in Florida.

He is Orange through and through......maybe he can't stand the LIMElight???

There are days my shoulder still hurts after my high five with nycfan after this play. Soothed that day, of course, by the contents of the flask he snuck in.

I was at the RAC for that game. It was a surreal atmosphere. Place was easily 50% SU fans.

Want to feel old? Jonny Flynn is now equidistant from Scott McCorkle and the present day.

Easily. Most enjoyable regular-season road game I've ever attended.

Had a decent rookie year, but the idiot GM in Minny decided to play him in the Triangle system, which did not utilize his best assets. They also drafted Ricky Rubio and tried to pair up those two- which turned out to be another monumental error.
Jonny was a quintessential PnR PG, and would've thrived in that type of set.
Add to that the hip injury, which he could never come back 100% from, and his fate was sealed. What might've been if he'd landed in the right franchise.

Most enjoyable reg season road game was prob Dion’s team at UCONN. We blew a monster lead, but held on. Maybe 100 cuse fans in Gampel all together. Heckled the entire time, but had the last laugh.

That was glorious. If I remember right, didn't Southerland have a filthy block of Drummund?

That play against Blake Griffen was scary.

As talented as Jonny was as a player it was his personality that shone brighter than anything. The most charismatic player I've ever seen. I love Jonny

he belongs on the Mount Rushmore of Cuse basketball greats
