JJ - shove for value?

SB: $28.50
BB: $25.35
UTG: $25.35
HJ: $24.25
CO: $37.70
BN: $28.17 (Hero)
Preflop ($0.35) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt J J
UTG folds, HJ folds, CO folds, Hero raises to $0.50, SB folds, BB raises to $1.80, Hero calls $1.30
He 3bets w/ a wide range, I don't want to 4b/c as I believe it's a little too loose, so I called, given that I'm likely ahead, IP, and don't need to improve my hand to bluffcatch.
Flop ($3.95) 4 7 5 (2 Players)
BB bets $2.50, Hero calls $2.50
A very 'bettable' F for him, I don't wanna raise/get it in as I would likely be isolating myself vs better hands, so I called.
Turn ($8.95) 5 (2 Players)
BB checks, Hero bets $4.20, BB calls $4.20
So this is where it got weird. His check made me feel really good about my hand as I believe he'd triple w/ QQ+ as I rarely have QQ+ myself. It also isn't a good hand for him to keep bluffing and I still need protection, so I guess the bet is kinda mandatory.
River ($17.35) 5 (2 Players)
BB checks, Hero bets $19.67, and is all in, BB calls $16.85, and is all in
Following my assumptions from the T, I decided to rip it on 'for value', or at least so I thought. :p

To be honest, I really like his play as I think by playing his hand that way, not only does he protect his checking range, but also likely expands the range that I would barrel off for thin value as opposed to the one that I would call him with (if that makes sense :p)
Final Pot
BB has A A Hero has J J BB wins $48.80

3b BBvBU: 14% (28)

CB OOP (3B): 75% (4) / 1rsd: 65/38(8)/0(3)

XF F (1rsd): 100% (5)
