Dennis Smith Jr. Appreciation Thread

Now it’s “good riddance” but he was our only piece we had last season. Now he’s a bum lol. The guy is upset. Should he apologize for his feelings?

Nah. It’s just immaturity which is understandable considering A. His age and B his lack of experience. As you see from many Vets comments, they understand that while the Basketball side fees like family, it ultimately serves the Business.

It’s not easy, but it’s real and it translates to the same struggles everyone faces in their workplace.

I do think he has always lacked a certain level of accountability. He wants to ball like he’s at a pick up game. He has some of the worst drive and kick out passes I’ve seen. Constantly fumbles the ball and attempts ridiculous shots.

That's not the point. And all we know is that the Mavs wanted to make it work while DSJ acted like a diva. Sure he is upset, but why with the Mavs? The situation was unfortunate for everyone! Sorry we didn't pass on a what looks like a generational talent in the draft that happens to be infinitely better than you?

His whole demeanor leaves so much to be desired and just says that he can't be a leader or a team player in this league as of right now. That doesn't mean he can't grow, but I'd be very intrigued what would happen if the Knicks indeed get Durant and Kyrie in the summer. "His" team my ass. Will he be "ill" again and then shit all over the Knicks after getting traded?

He’s two years removed from being in high school. He’s still a young man learning.

He's a young man learning through FAILING... Dude needs to quit running his mouth, it's not doing anything positive for his image/brand.

DSJ with 30 tonight so far in 3 quarters. And 13 ft's. So since he's in NYK he's going to get ft calls now?

Yeah right? Refs hate Cuban. Smith didn't get half the calls he should have here, but I'm glad he is playing well for the Knicks.

Learning through failing is bad? You don’t learn from your failures?

Honestly, with as much shit as Dennis has talked since I posted that I don’t think he’s learning a damn thing... He’s just failing.

His image/brand will be fine because hes tight with J. Cole. So hell always have that insulation, but man that article posted is really disheartening. He wanna be like that, then its whatever. Glad we got KP out of that mess.

Ironically J. Cole had a better dunk contest than DSJ

[Melonhead]

DSJ looks better in NY.
