Re-signs with Philly for his 18th NBA season.  Pretty incredible accomplishment.

For sure.  That will push him over $185M in career earnings.  And last season was the first time he didn't average double figures in his career.

EJ's shooting has obviously been the key to his success, but since high school he's really been a unit of a guard at 6'3" 220lbs and athletic -- to me he sort of a looks like a bowling ball out there (that's a good thing).  He is very hard to push around and in general he's been a good defender.  Just a great fit for the NBA.  Good for him.

Some memory lane stuff from high school:
