"One of the best shooters here" and "guarding bigger players."
I leave the comments to others.

What a career!!

James Bishop IV, BA Sociology“GW has been my home for the past four years, and I’ve had a really great time here. I’ve loved the crowds we’ve been able to play in front of [as a member of the men’s basketball team] and everything that GW stands for. It’s bittersweet having walked off the Smith Center court for the final time, but I know our basketball program is on the rise, especially with the community we’ve created on and off campus.

Everyone has shown me so much love during my career, and I’m forever thankful for all the support given to me and my teammates. Thank you to George’s Army, our fans, alumni and donors for making these four years incredibly special to me and my family. I can’t wait to come back and help support our university and our team moving forward!”

He rules. When he was at his best, he was electric.

It feels like forever since we've used the polling feature on the board. Feel free to elaborate if you want. This is admittedly pretty open-ended and can be whatever you want it to be - your favorite pairing from just an enjoyment perspective or the pair that you think would be the most successful in a 2x2 game. The primary choices were just the top two scorers in each season that JB played at GW but you can choose other for any other pairs.

Signed Summer League contract with the Twolves. Good for him to get some exposure before he heads overseas.

Same team that BA played for last summer!

Good for him! Hope he shoots lights out and enjoys the ride.

As a pure scorer, where does he rank?

Better than Sirvaliant IMO, since James would also dish the rock to a lot of dimes but Val Brown was electric for 2 years. Chris Monroe, Holup obvi. Am I missing electric scoring machines?

TyCav for 2 years was something to behold

DNP - Coaches decision in the first game.

Hopefully he gets in on Sunday.

**Posted by GW0509** 7/14/2024 8:26 pm

DNP-CD in Game 2.

**Posted by jf** 7/15/2024 12:45 pm

Hope he gets some play.
I think JB's style of play could potentially translate well in G-League's open style of play if he has the opportunity.
And a big if--if his shooting improves.

DNP-CD in Game 3.

**Posted by GW0509** 7/19/2024 6:27 am

It was announced that JBIV has signed with Kouvot in Finland. This is the team that Ricky Lindo played on last season. Congrats James!

Like the Dude I’ve been
following Kouvot for years:Great Finnish team.After scrutinizing analytics like Dude said-great fit for JB1v.
Normally I wouldn't respond to his insights but this stroke of genius was worth a riposte.

With all of this schedule talk, I did not want this post by GW69 to go unnoticed. Absolutely hilarious response. Well done, GW69.
