[Highlight] D’Lo stands wide open in the corner, never gets the ball, then pretends to shoot anyway
And late getting back on defense lol.
Bc he waited until Hardy’s shot was off iron before taking his imaginary shot like he’s at an open gym and doesn’t want to interfere with the other guys shot lol. Just do it while the balls in the air.
Seemed more like a passive aggressive “I was open” move. Glad this bum is off our team.
D’Lo is so passive aggressive. Dude was the perfect player for a Minnesota team in that regard lmao
D’Bustelo is perfect for any team
Oh this for sure, he was literally just ball watching, either way if you are going to crash the offensive boards or get back on D, moving as soon as a shot goes up is one of most basic fundamentals of the game.
You would all be frustrated too if you were at a point in your career you’re wide open and teammates are taking contested shots instead of passing to you.
thats what it was lol
Had the shot gone in, DLo wouldn’t have complained
That’s why he waited
You think he was worried about his imaginary shot interfering with Hardy’s? Are you the dumbest fucking person alive?
That’s needlessly aggressive and you also completely misunderstood the other comment
You gotta tell dumb people how stupid they are otherwise you end up with Donald Trump as president.
Actually, your strategy is likely to alienate people into voting for people like Trump into office anyway.
Right, let’s insult people into agreeing with you. How old are you neph?
Ok let’s follow that logic and see how it goes.
You are dumb. Your reading comprehension is clearly shit..and your quick jump into insults, aggression, and irrelevance, shows a distinct lack of intelligent thought.
Name checks out
Second dumbest behind D’Lo
Haha yes. Literally behind everyone
The D’Lo experience summed up right here
honestly dont know how kidd can watch that and think he’s a positive on the floor.
It’s never made sense to me why coaches haven’t relegated him to exclusively being in a bench role.
had to make sure the guy that didnt pass to him bricked first.
so the NBA then?
Find someone who loves you as much as DLo loves jacking up shots
Impossible
Shabazz Muhammad
Career average of 1.1 assists per 36 minutes - he’s the GOAT that single handedly defeated the 73-9 Warriors
He was a shooting guard not a fucking passing guard
You miss 100% of the shots you let your teammates take.
I remember when that guy was a menace in some draft classes in older 2ks lol
I miss Shabazz
He’s only 33 but has been out of the league since 2018. Damn.
earned almost 11 million during his NBA tenure. hopefully he didin’t waste his post tax earnings (probably around 5-6 mil) on luxury goods.
That frontloaded 5-6 million is worth roughly 4x as much as 5-6 million after tax earned over a 40 year desk job, IIRC. So basically, he secured the equivalent of a mid-high 6 figures annual salary for life. Plus he also has his NBA health care and pension.
Seem to be doing pretty well in the indonesian league, so he’s probably earning 250-500k there, too.
I am thankful every day he turned down that 4 year 40 million contract Thibs tried to give him. And I am still mad Flip said he was the one player he wouldn’t draft and then drafted him one spot before Giannis.
Might be an unhealthy relationship…
Retraining order incoming type of relationship
Wish someone would jack anything for me
When your tire flat I got you fam
Awww thanks buddy. Could always use a hand with that :)
D. Lo has a Sarah J. Maas type mating bond with jacking up shots. They whisper to each other telepathically. Their deepest allegiance, that connection.
[removed]
It’s okay. He wasn’t going to play defense anyways.
Well, he might have tried. He’s just liable to jump 3 feet past his man, leaving them wide open
If he wasn’t going to do it his rookie year he wasn’t going to on that ensuing possession.
‘Lo
his d was loading
Classic D’Lo behaviour, this
Literal airball
Should count as a field goal attempt.
Nico told him on the phone that airball wins imaginary games
And he missed
This made me LOL
These are the great things Nico spoke of.
Luka never took the opportunity to practice shooting during live play, that’s why he was so fat
We see the vision now
He didn’t lie, he said Dlo would be a problem. Just didn’t state what kind of problem lol
“It’s gonna be a problem” 🥀
D-Lo is close enough to AD that Nico thought it was a good assimilation. That’s why Nikola Jovic would never be a Mav.
This is the imaginary chip on his shoulder
“At least he’s not fat” - Nico, probably.
Good form
Imagine where he would be now if the Timberwolves didn’t hold him back.
Gotta stay warmed up
Russell is shooting .143 on corner 3s this season, and .239 over the past 2 years. Granted, you can’t shoot yourself into form without attempts, but it’s not a good shot for him to be getting right now.
And that’s the craziest info I got today. D’Lo is supposed to be a good three point shooter, how can he be so bad at the easiest shot in that line? Is that just statistical noise?
He’s historically been a good shooter from the corner (career .419 to the end of the 2023-24 season, consisting of 10.1% of his total 3PA), but has just shot them poorly the last couple of seasons on similar volume (.239 on 10.0% of total 3PA) compared to the rest of his career.
D’Lo’s 3PT shot in general has gone downhill over the last couple of seasons. Shooting .308 from downtown since the start of the 2024-25 season, compared to .369 career up to rhe end of 2023-24.
Great comments mate
From a playing perspective, corner feels like a different shot to me, don’t know if others share that but definitely changes player to player based on what their shooting “reference” is, ie. Curry aims for the hooks
Yeah, I’m very bad at corner shots as well, normally I aim on the back part of the rim, so my best shot is usually the middy/free throw. But im also 5’7, fat and primarily a passer lol
NBA players seem to be way better at corner threes than middle ones, so DLO being that bad on them makes me feel crazy.
It was always my worst shot from three, it just looks and feels completely different than other spots.
Yup my worst shot as well.
I feel kinda claustrophobic on the corners lmao. Elbows>>>>>
Elbows supposed to be tucked
Agreed. I think the lack of a backboard giving a depth perception reference point is difficult for some players. It feels like every single airball I’ve ever shot came from the corner
Same with me, not seeing the backboard is just weird to me
It’s the closest but not necessarily the easiest, as you can’t use the backboard
Hilarious
It’s such a D-Lo thing to do. Miss him playing with Bron:
https://youtu.be/Ah4T-x00V5M?si=p6zgK8KiIRDHAFsU
He greened that
That imaginary ball hit the side of the backboard
he’s not good enough to make those jokes
That’s funny as fuck lmao
lol he been doing this a long time now
Yeah I was gonna say. I remember him doing this at least twice on the Lakers
….and is late getting back on D because of that. Dallas fans dont deserve this.
Crash the boards or get back on D you fucking weirdo
Dlo lowkey boosting his percentage with his mind
then he wonders why he gets around more than a legal escort…
He seems to be a great spot while getting booted down at the 1. Seems like a funny vibes guy, was the first to celebrate Ryan when he started popping off.
He loves to cheer on his teammates. He gets a lot of flack for his game, most of it deserved, but he seems like a good guy and he means well.
He was a very cool dude to root for on the nets
To be fair, the ball should have been swung to the corner there.
Our season has turned once Nemby took his minutes. Yet another poor Nico decision smh
DLo playing like Denzel at the park at midnight
That was supposed to be his brick
Okay but they really should’ve swung it to him lol.
He’s going to be the last one back to defend, but it’s not like he going to do much on that end anyway
I don’t mind players doing this. They teach you to visualize the free throw and practice the shot before you get the ball. He just gotta get back on defense.
Doesn’t Steph call that the weakest move in basketball
He is a clown
I admit I didn’t even see him until he faked the shot
Shooters shoot
Who the fuck wants this fuckin loser?
“Gonna be a problem”
2000ms ping ass player
Meanwhile he could’ve cut to the rim
To be fair he blends in perfectly with the background. I had to watch it twice to see him. I’m also less than sober so….
Ngl took me 3 views to even find Dlo. He blends in completely there with the backdrop
This guy does everything but take his time seriously in the league. He’s going to regret it when he’s out of there.
DLo’s shot would have been wide right.
You miss 100% of the imaginary shots you don’t take
wow
not a serious player. clearly doesn’t care about getting back on defense
This guy’s synonymous with losing and then does THIS!!? Man’s still the last one down the court on defense. Literally the last person SMFH.
D’lo been playing too much 2k this year. Surprised he didn’t hit the flop animation and start throwing oops out of bounds
Excessive Call For Pass in 2K be like:
But not until the other team already had the ball, which kind of sums up his career.
Can’t quite shake the vanishing act he pulled in Denver I see.
He’s such a losing type player imo
Why are people going to these games
He’s done this before hasn’t he?
Didn’t that happened a couple of weeks ago with the Mavs on the other side?
Or was some guy practicing shots in the middle of the play?
It was another DLO lowlight. Naji was the one practicing.
https://np.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1p02e2s/highlight_dlo_dribbles_the_ball_for_21_seconds/
Lol prob should’ve gotten that swing pass fr fr
Pure D’Lo
I hate that he’s still 29
it’s visualization relax OP
Still better than that brick
He did this with the Lakers as well. It had me confused because why tf you practicing your form mid game and you still ass
He lagged lol.
everything that is wrong with D’Lo in one replay - more concerned with how he looks than what is actually taking place on the court
DLO is such an unserious basketball player. We saw this in his 2nd stint as a Laker. There’s always that hope that he puts it all together but it’s never gonna happen. He thinks he’s a vet now (which he is) and doesn’t feel the need to prove himself. I think he’s done after this season.
He’s on a two year deal
fuck it, count that as a missed shot idc
D’Bum can’t hoop anymore 🤡
Unserious player, glad we offloaded him
r/findthesniper
I despise this guy even more, bro you a vet now act like one
Tbh didn’t see him on the first watch
I counted about 5 - 6 seconds where D’Lo didn’t either get back on D or try to rebound. Thats pretty awful.
That rdc lakers locker room skit mightve been real
Classic D’Lo, always playing pretend!
Always stay ready.
I do this at pickup often lol
And yet he missed it
I had to watch this 5 times to see who you were talking about
NGL I’ve done this in pickup after a tunnel vision chucker goes 1v3 in the paint but this isn’t even that bad. The defender closes out soft and actually gambles on the pass to DLo so the shooter is actually open enough to get off that shot.
Well did he make it.
This dude somehow remains in the starting rotation on teams?? Brain dead GMs and coaches. He has the worst characteristics of Westbrook, arenas, and jr smith without any of their positives.
That is fucking hilarious
Just like me every day in the mirror
understandable, other guy taking a contested shot when he’s open
Lil D’lo
Lmao get this guy out of the nba
🤡🤡🧑🚀🔫👩🏻🚀
The defender was in the passing lane to the corner. Seems like a risky pass to make if you’re not a great passer
D’Lo’s such a petty bitch
Idiot
He prob would have made that tho, don’t pretend Dlo isn’t a good shooter
Funny thing is, the more important the shot, the less likely he’d make it. That tie game shot has a 100% chance of going in 😭
Has been an horrendous corner shooter for the past 2 seasons
Good shooter horrible shot selection so arguably more toxic to his team
He’s shooting 28% from 3 this season on 5 attempts a game man. He’s gonna be out of the league soon
