[TVSportsUpdates] Today is the five-year anniversary of Adam Amin’s “oh my goodness, Valentine” call.
Love that this play is cemented in history
The “Nooooo” is so good. It’s like a Disappointed father lol
The best part is Stacey saying it like a millisecond after the ball leaves his hand
He didn’t even wait to see if he makes it, just zero confidence in that even going anywhere near the rim lol
The magic of a great commentator, this could’ve been forgotten as niche Bulls lore but “Oh my goodness Valentine” cemented it into history
What is he DOING folks?
“my bad”
I love that Stacey always brings up “Valentine range” on (usually poor) long 3 attempts
That’s a mostly empty Covid stadium, so there’s a decent chance Valentine could hear this call being made as he walked back down the court lol
Well I hope he heard it
If he didn’t hear it live, he heard it after the game lol
That was the dumbest play in Bulls history until that time LaVine shot a contested deep 2-pointer while down 3 points with less than 5 seconds left.
Ah, the Jamal Murray
LaVine’s play was the first thing I remembered when I saw Murray do that in game 2.
Too soon bro
Derozan did the same against Brooklyn once, while Zach was open (by his standards) in the corner. Iirc Zach had shot 3⁄5 from 3 that night and was completely ignored down the stretch
This happened a lot
Bro that was mind-numbingly dumb, surprised anyone still remembers that.
And he was gone from the nba ever since
Truly a career-destroying play and call lol
Buddy had to learn Italian.
Italian Lega Basket Serie A
“It’s Denzel Valentine time”
-Denzel Valentine
“Valentime” was right there
“Its Denzel Valentine Valentime”?
Nailed it
The shot that won the game killed Valentine’s career.
That play was exactly half-way from Steph slipping on Motiejunas sweat to today.
The bass line: “nooo noooo noooo nooooo. Noooo. Thats a horrible shot. Noooo. Whaooowww.”
This meme transcends basketball and it’s a literal staple in dating/pickip culture 💀💀
do u work on that shot
What kind of shot is that
BANG
i will never forget watching this live. im 99% sure this was a heat check too.
I remember Valentine going off in Summer League and people thought he was a future superstar 😭
Honestly he showed flashes with the ball in his hands but the Bulls like to put guys like that in the corner instead of working to develop them.
Dude got drafted by the Bulls and wore 45. It boosted his stock like crazy lol
Him and summer league mvp tyus jones put on a show that championship game
Valentine hit a tough ass midrange game winner at the buzzer
He was so good in college. I have always been surprised he couldn’t make it work because he really seemed like he had all the tools.
I thought he brother was better but he was much smaller.
I remember him being overdrafted in fantasy that year lol
I remember him for getting cooked by frank nitty in the drew league
Garrett Temple in absolute disgust
The funniest part is that he got booed when he came back as a cav
After this I made a custom 2k team of Valentine lookalikes. Valentine, Lavine, pre-dread Gordon, Lonzo, and Kuzma. Called them the cream team. They sucked.
Even the Heat players were confused and some looked like they felt bad for him lol
I’m glad that most clips of this cut out Jimmy’s hideous brick in the other side lol
Colby white dejected slumped over motion kills me every time
Example #57 of what Billy Donovan had to go through during his tenure as the Bulls head coach.
Definitely on the mount rushmore of shaqtin moments, mostly because of the call
Adam and Stacey are goat commentators. They call it as it is and their homerism isn’t over the top.
What most people dont remember is that next possesion he also got an and one scored on him lol, should have been benched after that shot. We clawed our way back from being down like 15 points in the last couple of minutes, end of the season while trying to make the playoffs, and he completely threw the game.
Being a Bulls fan is rough 😭
Always makes me sad as an MSU fan that this is all he’s remembered for now
I was about to say, “wtf? No way this was in a playoff game,” and then i remembered exactly how long ago “five years” is.
Absolutely love that we are celebrating this historic moment!
Untold story of this moment is that Bulls were coming back in the 4th and had the momentum until this.
Damn I didn’t realize I was NBA caliber

I need those two twin brothers with mustaches and shaggy hair who do perfect lip syncs to sports announcer stuff to cover this. They are too good at it.
Understandable heat check btw
Didn’t he hit three 3s that quarter prior to this shot? I’m not defending the play given the early shot clock and whatnot but it’s not like he wasn’t capable of making those, right?
Yeah went 3 of 4 prior to the shot
There’s like a security guard or something just above and to the left of that AT&T banner who is facing up the stairs but turns to look at the game over his shoulder just as Valentine shoots the ball and you can seem him react immediately and almost fall off his chair and I fucking love that guy.
wow
iconic
The #45 shouldn’t be retired by the Bulls but I also don’t think anybody else should wear it.
I referenced this today at work and had no idea. Iconic.
this play now happens multiple times a game, not necessarily at the critical end of the game though.
Free valestine
Ive never seen this before lmao
