How could anyone not respect the game of Utah Jazz sharpshooter Joe Ingles?

Joe Ingles has never been the type of player who jumps off the screen. He’s not particularly fast or athletic; after all, Basketball Reference lists “Slow-Mo Joe” as one of his nicknames. And despite being listed at 6-foot-8, he only has one dunk this season and 23 in his seven-year NBA career.

Although he might not have all the physical attributes that are so coveted in today’s NBA, Ingles has managed to become a critical piece of a Utah Jazz team that currently holds the best record in the league (33-11).
