 THE
TEAM JAM CONNECTION

Jimmy, far left, at a special one
day camp he ran for TEAM JAM
In
the early 1990's, TEAM JAM would lead open gyms at Revere High School
that would attract most of the top area amateur talent. As each
Tuesday or Thursday night passed, so would the word about the
"runs" you could get up at the high school.
One
night, John was going around meeting the first time visitors for the
night. Upon approaching one young looking athlete, he asked him
his name.
He
said, "Jimmy". Thinking he was clever, he asked
"Jimmy" if he had a last name too!
Jimmy
did. It was Oliver and he was playing for the Cavs at the time.
Being
the tolerant, kind hearted young man that he was, Jimmy forgave John
of his gaffe and they continued to keep in touch. The
relationship included working camps for each other, special
appearances in school classrooms, assistance with coaching TEAM JAM
AAU teams and eventually just simply friendship.
Jimmy
is committed to be an active member in the Akron community when he is
not playing overseas. Jimmy, his wife Joli, and their two
daughters are as a fine example as we know when it comes to being the
kind of Christian young couple who have modeled how to handle success.

LATEST NEWS
December 2nd, 2005
A couple of games ago, Union
Olimpija's coach was fired. His interim chose to bench
Jimmy, in spite of a 35 point game just a couple nights
earlier. He was soon fired and
as of December 1st, Jimmy was again playing under a new coach.
Though he came off the bench, he played almost 30 minutes (he
was playing almost
40 minutes per game as a starter) and led Union to a win with
22 points.

NBA HIGHLIGHTS
Wizards too
much for Hawks
(Oliver scores 30)

Web
posted October 26, 1997
Associated Press
INGLEWOOD,
Calif. - Jimmy Oliver scored 18 of his 30 points in the fourth
quarter and Chris Whitney got five of his 20 points in the
second overtime as the injury-plagued Washington Wizards
rallied from a 21-point first-half deficit to beat the Atlanta
Hawks 102-96 Saturday night.
The victory earned the Wizards third
place in the two-day Great Western Shootout that is hosted
annually by the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers faced Seattle
in the nightcap for the tournament championship.
Ed Gray, whose 3-pointer with 3.4
seconds left in regulation tied the score at 78 and capped a
12-point fourth quarter by the rookie guard, led Atlanta with
25 points.
After a slam dunk by Anthony ``Pig''
Miller tied the score at 88 with 33 seconds left in the first
overtime, Whitney missed a jumper from the top of the key as
the buzzer sounded.
But Whitney hit a driving layup to
give Washington a 95-92 lead and added a 3-pointer with 54
seconds left in the second extra period for a 100-94 lead.
Atlanta made only one field goal over the final 2:57.
The Wizards, missing Juwan Howard and
Gheorghe Muresan with ankle injuries and point guard Rod
Strickland for the third consecutive game because of an
injured left hamstring, also lost swingman Calbert Cheaney
with an injured left knee and forward Darvin Ham with a bloody
nose.
Cheaney hurt himself while committing
a hard foul on Matt Steigenga, as the Hawks' second-year
forward drove the lane on a fast break in the final seconds of
the first half. Ham was injured while committing a flagrant
foul against Gray in the paint with 7:55 left.
Gray sank both free throws to
increase Atlanta's lead to 71-63 with 4:56 to play, but Oliver
triggered a quarter-ending 15-7 run with a 3-pointer. Whitney
sank both free throws to put Washington ahead for the first
time, 76-75, with 1:05 left.
Miller missed two free throws at the
other end before rookie God Shammgod, who had 16 assists, hit
both foul shots to give Washington a 78-75 lead with 8.2
seconds left in the fourth. But Gray responded with his clutch
3-pointer.
Washington finished the pre-season
with a 3-4 record while Atlanta finished at 4-4.
