The greatest of the Greek heroes, Herackles was a demigod. He was the son of Zeus and Alkmene. He was the ultimate champ, the true embodiment of masculinity.
I have been calling Jericho Sims “Young Hercules” for a while here and at other places. Sounded cool to me, made some sense considering Sims entered the league already built like a tank. Dwight Howard, just to name another superhero-build big, can’t say that.
After three seasons of pro ball and not so much production (for a lack of opportunities more than anything else), maybe it turns out Sims is just another random Iphicles.
