Most NBA fans may know him as just Reggie Jackson. However, Denver Nuggets fans are taking things one step further; and continue to chant and fully embrace their guy’s fan-given title. The man, the legend… Reggie Jackson BIG GOVERNMENT!
What does the name mean? And how does it fit Reggie? Well, it’s a name that keeps following the guy from team to team. Yet, if you look at Jackson’s play on the court; you will instantly get it and understand.
However, if the light bulb isn’t quite lighting up just yet on what Nuggets fans are driving at here. We will just tell you. Reggie Jackson is BIG GOVERNMENT because he is always there to bail you out when you need him. He steps UP. Perfection.
Get it? Got it? Good.
Nevertheless, to have an example of Reggie Jackson’s bail out skills; you don’t have to look any further than tonight’s Nuggets game versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Denver faced some tough odds from start. Being down 3 big players for the matchup.
However, Big Government went to work and cashed some checks. Putting up some impressive numbers during the process. Jackson for the night had: 35 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, and 79% FG.
Therefore, with help, or no help; Reggie is just going to score and bail his team out.
Malika Andrews, the host of NBA Today as well as NBA Countdown; discussed a quick recap of Reggie Jackson’s night. Regarding how Reggie held up without three of his teammates, Andrews states,
“No Jamal Murray.
No Nikola Jokic.
No Aaron Gordon.Tremendous performances from Reggie Jackson and DeAndre Jordan.
Michael Malone says now he challenges Reggie to imagine “every opponent is the Clippers.”

Moreover, the hits just keep on coming. Big government even ended up making a little history. Reggie Jackson just became the first player since the NBA literally started tracking individual turnovers (1978); to put up at least 35 pts and 13 assists on over 75 FG% with under 3 turnovers. Wow.
Additionally, if you remove turnovers entirely from the equation here and raise the FG% just a smidge; so just 35-13 on > 78%, the entire list comes down to four names:
Tiny Archibald
Wilt Chamberlain (3X)
Stephon Marbury
Reggie Jackson (tonight)
Wild right? But that’s Big Government for you. Only a few can be running things!
