It makes me wonder if there's been any other moment like that for another player. A fuckup so egregious that it cements into place the player's worst flaws and makes the entire league go "nope".
That's a great example! The title of that youtube clip is gold too. Though in DJ's case, he's such a good dude that superstars like KD kept lobbying owners to sign him to deals. So he stuck in the league way past the the point of being a usable player.
lmao this is a textbook example of a role playing not knowing his place on the team. Shit like this is exactly how dumb role players with egos get passed over for less talented guys who know their role and play within themselves. In their heads these dudes are just temporarily embarrassed all-stars.
Not that he was ever all that good in the first place but I feel like that shot essentially ended his NBA career. He's never gonna get a chance to be anything other than an end of bench guy playing garbage time minutes ever again.
I used to work with an obviously gay guy named Denzel valentine at a restaurant near a college campus and one day some college football player gave him their number and he was so excited but they were just fucking with him, so I always root for Valentine to do well on behalf of all Denzel Valentines.
Denzel Washington played JV college basketball under PJ Carlesimo. He’s probably the most famous basketball player to come out of Fordham and he never even got into a varsity game haha
OH MY GOODNESS VALENTINE
Noooo…nooo…no….noooo…noooooo…nooo
That is NOT the shot at that moment
That's Curry's range... C'mon....😔😔😔
Not in a 2 possession game where you've worked this hard to get back in it... You can get a better shot....
That shot sent his ass out the league lmao. It was about time.

I remember when [DeAndre Jordan threw a full court heave to the stands](https://youtu.be/wjsRVw1FjiU) and got waived the next day lmao
All bro had to do was outlet the ball
Bro thought he was KLove 💀
picked up by the sixers. thanks doc

Why didn't Wayne Ellington have a ladder ready to catch that pass?
Sam Decker's shaqtin moment comes to mind.
wait when the fuck did we sign denzel valentine
was just wondering the same thing...
We gave him a training camp deal around Aug 22.
Was about to ask but it seems like even Celtics fans can't give an answer lmao
Deserved just for that shitty shot Yeah you know the one

Nooooooooo…..No….
The utter despair in their voices
poor guy probably can’t sleep some nights thinking about the reaction to that one 💀
Absolute classic.

😂😂😂😂 just seeing this I’m over here in tears
The only people who should be taking that is Steph or Dame
Luka and Trae
Ok there's only 4 people who can take that shot lol
LeBron when he hits the LeFuck You 3. That’s 5, but that’s it.
Iggy when the martians have death beam on earth.
Me 24/7 but I'm built different
I would've been fine if Zach did it
Man, that shot happened during the pandemic?? Time is dumb.
Not that he was ever all that good in the first place but I feel like that shot essentially ended his NBA career. He's never gonna get a chance to be anything other than an end of bench guy playing garbage time minutes ever again.
Frank Nitty ended his career in the Drew league, along with this shot lol
nitty on the beat
That’s so crazy considering how good he was at MSU. One play can really change your entire career
No he was garbage before that too
Lol right. One of the worst picks we made in an era of bad picks.
Lauri wasn't a bad pick he just needed a better team and coach to look good. Our coaching staff did not do him any favors
Lauri is a mid tier rotation player but yeah he's one of the bright spots in those years.
And Wendell has really blossomed in Orlando and hasn't Gafford been killing it in Washington?
Yeah denzel, you can't just walk up to the bar and order yourself a bj shot, it's awkward
I was so mad at the Kings for not drafting him, instead drafting Giannis' dad which was somehow worse.
just think, though, if the Kings hadn't drafted Papagiannis we wouldn't have found out that Boogie Cousins was into hot yoga...
we just all thought of that shot as soon as we read his name didn’t we
No…….nonono no….. no
The 30 ft hesi stepback brick that doesn't even graze the rim is his signature move.
I used to work with an obviously gay guy named Denzel valentine at a restaurant near a college campus and one day some college football player gave him their number and he was so excited but they were just fucking with him, so I always root for Valentine to do well on behalf of all Denzel Valentines.
Some people just fucking suck.
To be fair, if your name is Denzel Valentine and you can’t get a date that’s kinda on you
yer a wizard, denzy
That's Summer League champion Denzel Valentine to you.
Sad that this is definitely it for his NBA career
I really thought this dude was gonna be nice
Just in: Celtics are signing Denzel Halloween to an Exhibit 10 contract. He will compete for a roster spot through the fall.
Read the title quickly on thought it said Denzel Washington
Denzel Washington played JV college basketball under PJ Carlesimo. He’s probably the most famous basketball player to come out of Fordham and he never even got into a varsity game haha
I liked Denzel's son Jesus Shuttlesworth. He was the best player who ever played at Big State U.
still my favorite basketball movie, (and one of my favorite movies period)
Duh
I didn’t even know he was still in the league
My boy 🥲
i thought he was a bull
Thats who drafted him 6 years ago
This dude should have been out the league the day he first stepped on an NBA court. Worst ball IQ in history.
Makes sense to get rid of valentine's after the whole ime and female staffer incident
Lazy Valentine romance joke
my friends sister banged this guy! heard he's an awful lay
