He wasn’t

That team Nitty on been undefeated for like 2 years or some shyt (same team Games wack ass is on)

Honestly, dude can hoop but cocky af and gets A LOT of calls in his favor. So he basically does what he wants, takes most the shots, etc., because he’s the leagues mvp

That Valentine nikka I never heard of but he in the league. I don’t think he was playing hard but sometimes you got to show out or nikkas will come after you (Julius Randle for example).

They tried to get Trey Burke in NY a few days ago but Trey went ham on them nikkas
I learned that lesson back in college playing pickup. Thought I was nice as hell, had played against some D1 bench warmers and held my own. This one cat came there who was D1 too (don't even remember his name) and you can tell he was just trying to get a run in without risking injury so he's just shooting jumpers and not really playing D. I'm popping mad shyt. This nikka came down and broke my ankles three straight time, the last one he hit me with a hesi crossover that spun me around so bad I twisted my right ankle and left knee up. Sometimes you got to show nikkas and shut em up.

Denzel Valentine is a 3pt shooter an not really know or his d and wasn't playing any in these clips. If you don't have a midrange game you alway look bad in these sort of games.

Is Sessions playing in Europe or something?

Nah Denzel more than a three point shooter and was a triple double threat every night at Michigan State

In these pick up games midrange and one on one play is nothing for a pro. He just didn’t take it seriously and this guy went off on him and took him out his comfort zone.

Nah, he's playing in the Canadian minor leagues. Just googled him and he basically stopped playing ball to work as a store manager to provide for his family. He started playing again last year, Lakers d-league team cut him and then he went to play in Canada. They already had Alex Caruso and Scott Machado playing in front of him.

Last year was his first full year playing pro ball, and he turns 30 in January.

Exactly. If he would’ve averaged this at any of the high majors he’s in the league getting NBA training and resources.
To be fair it's about doing it on a consistent basis. Just cuz you balling in Drew league does not auto warrant an NBA look. I'd love to see the league reaching out more to playerss in Drew league etc who have never gotten be a shot tho

How many points did Denzel score? I remember like 16 years ago Vince Carter played at the Rucker and there was some 18 year old who dropped 30 on him. Vince was bullshytting on defense and scored like 40.

:mjlol: This just proves the NBA is just like any other professional corporation. It’s all about going to the right school and playing in the right tournament.

One went to Michigan state and the other one didn’t.


don't agree completely but there's some truth to this. just like there's always a couple big white stiffs that get drafted top 12 in every draft that never amount to shyt.


shame on the mfs in here saying Denzel wasn't giving max effort. FOH with those pleas. everybody knows what the drew league is and every NBA player balls out. Denzel doesn't fit with the drew league style though and needs to stay in his lane.

nitty was talking shyt cause Denzel looked like a hs freshman on OFFENSE.
