- Dante Exum had a roller coaster of an NBA career that saw him fall out of the league, but he clawed his way back. This is how he did it.

Luka before Luka.Now he’s playing with Luka 😉
as a Partizan fan, you guys dont know how happy am i for Exum succed in NBA. Dante we still miss you here🖤🤍
Damn. Respect to you. Partizan fans are some of the best in the world.
Really important factor in his return is impact of Željko Obradović, the greatest european basketball mind ever
Oh wow I didn’t realize Jokic and Joel were in the same draft!! That makes their rivalry even more intense!! Damn I’m old!!
You probably just started watching nba in 2018
@@ace2nicehow
@@ace2nicei didnt know either and I been watching the NBA, I always knew Jokic was a 2nd round pick but never in the same class as Embiid
@@ace2nicehello im rj nembhard jr
it's easy to think like that for many reasons:
1. Jokic was picked during the commercial so no one cared or remembered him at that time.
2. Both were picked in 2014 but none of them play in 2014/15 season, Jokic started 2015 after 1 year in Euro, Joel started 2016 after 2 years out of injury.
Much respect to this guy for not taking the money and running. He showed heart and worked hard and came back stronger. Thats the right attitude for any aspect of life
Man I really remember when Dante Exum was drafted so high back in 2014 , and we all thought he was going to be special in the NBA , but those injuries really hurt him a lot physically
But I’m glad he’s back in the league and he’s actually doing quite well , great video as always Andy
I saw him playing in the Olympics!! Glad he’s still continuing what he’s doing on the court!!
I think players like Dante, who are in a slump or in a bad place, should try playing outside of the NBA. It seems people still underestimate the quality of Basketball in Europe. There's a lot to learn from playing in the Euro League
He did play in Europe then came back this season.
Well most props should definitely go to Zeljko Obradovic probably the greatest coach in basketball history and you can see in his game
Yup. For those who don't know:
FIBA World Champion
EuroBasket Champion
9x EuroLeague champion
11x Greek champion
7x Greek Cup
4x Turkish champion
3x Turkish Cup
Oh yeah, one of those EuroLeague titles came in his first season coaching... he retired and directly became Partizan's head coach...and became a EuroLeague winner despite not being able to play home games due to Yugoslav wars.Even Pop has a lot of admiration for him and has adapted some of his plays. His temper makes him not everyone's cup of tea, but the dude gets results.
Kinda funny, early in the video Andy mentions that early career Exum had a rep for being "lazy" and yet....he rebuilt his career under one of the most hard-ass coaches out there.
Well, sadly he is once again injured. Right when he had the possibly best stretch of games in his career... In December he averaged 14.5 PPG/3.5 RPG/4.5 APG while playing really good defense as well... and then... he played 2 of the last 15 games. I really hope he can stay healthy for the rest of the season, and years to come. Cause Dallas needs him, as crazy as this might sound.
Dallas needs a backup pg and he’s perfect for that role but they kinda tryna make him 3 and D and stand in the corner a lot of times and that’ll hurt him and them
@@liulbitew14 Not really. He normally is the 2ndary playmaker and advantage extender either next to Luka or Kyrie. He barely plays with both, and that would be the situation you are talking about.
@@liulbitew14clearly you're not watching Dallas with exum play. lmao
@@liulbitew14That's not true at all, wtf are you on about??? He runs the offense when Luka is off the floor.
I’ve been saying playing in Europe helps develop players skills dramatically. Just a different style of ball over there. So skilled and such high basketball IQ 1-5 over in Europe and you just don’t see that in America anymore. Teaches players so much about the mental part of the game and how it’s just as important if not more important than the physical part of the game.
as a european i was not surprised i saw him Matured in the European sceane and Be like
" if the nba give him a shoot he would be impactful"
i guess its could be the same for Jabari Parker
Euroligue could be a good place for some to improve their game if they are not fiting USA AAU / Nba circuit
i am sure of it
Jabari was a bust sadly due to injuries and i don't think he plans to come back....
Mavs fan here, i was super stoked that we signed him this summer. When he's healthy, he's a beast!
Andy please keep using the music at 9:04 it’s iconic!!!
give me chills everytime
I remember him from 2k custom draft roster before he was drafted. Boy was a 99 in 3 years. You couldn’t tell me he wasn’t gonna be a star when he was drafted 😂😂
I’ve always disliked him because of NBA 2K15 he was the rival and they made it seem like he was going to be a superstar. FOH with that
Great video as always!! Thank you Andy!!
"So you're a runner? Me too."
From a Foot Locker commercial before Exum got drafted. Lol.
Love longer videos lately, keep it up!
Exum hit the game tying 3 against the rockets. What a full circle. But the reason he's on the mavs is they have a jazz former front office on staff who vouched for him thankfully.
Andy, you are the only NBA TH-camr that still makes content this thoughtful and high quality. I seriously appreciate the work you put in. Keep it up!!
I remember watching his Dad in the NBL. 'Straya.
Love your videos bro! True love for the game remains strong
Dante has been balling for the Mavs but recently he has been dealing with injuries again. Not big injuries but he is just missing games
Great video as usual, Mr. Hoops. 👍
Great video!
I thought him and mcw will be the new breed of point guards... Oh time flies...
Those two guys and Emmanuel Mudiay scared teams away from the tall PGs.
Always love a comeback story
As a Mavs fan, I remember that game against the Lakers earlier this year where he was shooting the lights out. I had to do a double take because I couldn’t believe it was him! I didn’t even know we signed him. One of the best feel good comeback stories ever, and I’m glad he plays for my team! 🖤 #mffl
Great video Andy mate🤙✌️
Great video
I had to end his career cause he was talking too much shit in 2k15
you love to see it, hardwork always pays off
on time
Second
Very encouraging story
I lived in Utah during Exum's tenure. People were optimistic about him, but also even after a few years knew he wasn't what he was hyped up to be. Funnily enough, the Jazz are still benefitting from the Exum trade!
I was positively impressed. I had no expectation except for him to be the 3rd pg in the team but he’s actually solid. He’s missing some gare recently tough, saw a couple without Luka/KYrie/Dante and boy did the Dallas offense suffer
Данте 🖤🤍
I remember when Dante was touted as being a good young piece for the Jazz to build around. Seeing him fall out of the league was tough. But he worked on his game, worked his way back and it’s great to see.
I swear I this video has already been done
I tore my ACL when I was 17, when I landed from a jump shot in training. It was not even in a game. It was a particularly cold day in the gym and we had a scrimmage. As a stupid kid and I didn't stretch and warm up when I entered the game from the bench. Also years later I found out that exactly the foot on that leg is leaning inwards, which contributed to the ACL tear. Definitely nothing to do with wear and tear, and can happen otherwise.
You mentioned context as to why Exum's career failed but called Jabari Smith a bust with no context. Come on son you're better than that
i shed a tear when he made it into the mavs‘ starting lineup. like wow, redemption truly is possible
Flavoured air😭😭
Bleacher Report called him the Australian Michael Jordan. I was a sophomore in highschool study hall 4th period. I’ll never forget because I was a Sixers fan and at that time we were tanking and I knew EVERY draft prospects ups and downs from those years I was a scout for no reason
Lemme find out Andy hoops be on dat gas
promiting vaping? cmon andy
Did you watch the whole ad?
Why didn't Doritos didn't sign Dante Exum to an endorsement deal?
I torn my ACL walking across the floor. It not about wear and tear. My came about because of bad orthotics
Man I remember thinking he was going to be a star, but then the injuries happened. Very happy to hear he made a return.
As a fellow Aussie I’m glad to see him back and doing well. That said while he did turn around his career in Europe, I feel like he owes a lot of his current success to Luka’s shot creation. If you dumped him on a worse team without a point god he wouldn’t be as impactful.
I recall being really interested in this prospect.
He was balling this season then went back to his old Utah home to show them what they're missing and promptly got injured. I'm sure the Jazz fans don't miss that😆 Seriously though I'm happy he's improved and hope he comes back strong again. Should be a model for other draft busts. Going back to Europe can help develop your game
Similar career to Shaun Livingston. Another big pg , lottery pick set back by injuries but ended up being a contributer off the bench for a good team.
Still, we r happy he plays for Australia unlike one Ben Simmons!
Glad he’s made it back, hopefully his injuries don’t keep him off the court for too long.
As a Jazz fan, sucks he didn’t produce when he was here but I’m glad he’s found himself.
Zeliko Masterclass
Dude really was your NBA 2K15 rival
Pride of Australia 🇦🇺
Never rlly paid that much attention to Exum but I thought he was let down by the Jazz bc he could have developed better if he got more touches and maybe if the system was more in his wheelhouse offense wise plus injuries didn’t help
Penny Hardaway? Some people called this kid the Australian Michael Jordan. Expectations were beyond unfairly high.
i KNEW he'd come good...... if only a certain other Australian had of gone to Euro league to find his feet, maybe he wouldn't be copping so much shit now...... Ben (richest bench player in the NBA)
Exum is good at the mavs
Uhhh… why did you censor the word “mental” @ 6:25 ? 😂
Jalen green need to adopt euro style basketball.
I wonder how American prospects fair against European ones anyway, how do you think his style would be? I don't watch much euro ball
It is insane that 2016 jazz rather start Joe instead of starting exum
Yummy doritos haha I get it Dante
Yeah I hate when players like exum are put in situations like this
People in the US should stop thinking that going to Europe is like going to the gulag ,yeah he's probably payed less ,but outside of that he's still making top 1% salary while doing what he enjoys .
I think the worst top five draft pick to have the worst statistical season as a rookie was Darko Miličić and that says a lot compared to Anthony Bennett and Kwame Brown
This guys big break was 2k14
He's supposed to be what Luka with Ausar Thompson's defense is.
maybe time for Klay video? I hate it but it has to be said
Injuries killed Jabari Parker
His 3 pointer last week vs the rockets that took the game to OT and later a win for the Mavs was so good to see, especially how happy his team mates was for him

Obviously some nba teams are really bad at developing/teaching young players. In the end nba is business.
Utah with their twelve player rotation
Dante Exum biggest problem his HEALTHY & no improvement his game in Utah
Mavs need him to stay healthy. His skillset is really beneficial to them.
I’ve been a fan of the channel for a while but just a suggestion to not use that background music over the beginning of the video. It’s loud over your voice and isn’t complementary to the video
Can we stop labelling players as busts just because they got ruined by injuries? Jabari Parker was very promising early in his career before he tore his ACL and was never the same. It would be more appropriate to call them stunted growth instead of the more derogatory and denigrative term known as bust.
Its difficult when there is a lot of rhetorical brainwashing in sports. So people take things at face value when its deeper than that.
@@OH_MY_DOGGG Social Media has degraded a lot of players more than ever. When I grew up watching the NBA in the early 2000s, we were still enjoying the highlights without looking on advanced stats and their amount of championships won in their careers. The same cannot be said today. It is all about championship or bust.
Josh Giddey is what Exum was supposed to be
17K 9h 504K subs
I wish a comeback like this for Zion Williamson 😢
It would have been good to find a euro TH-camr or journalist to give you an insight on Dante in Europe. This makes the video incomplete.
THIS IS WHY EURO BASKETBALL IS THE BEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD
PAAPYRRUUUUUSS!!!😠😡🤬
Is this a series? It should be a series. ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Nah bro too much disrespect to Jabari he’s not a bust
First
Jabari bust? U 🤡🤡🤡
Utah really needed him vs the clippers in 2021.. just unreal how much it bit them back
He has a mixed background. He's dark enough to market him... towards those people. And look friendly enough for the others. He's Australian. So we phish Euro fans over [AUS isnt Euro] SHUT UP! This guy is the total package. How can this go wrong. Could it ever go wrong...? Enter: Dante Simmo-Exum. Dante Exum. Got to wait 2 more years... for the other. No need for paradoxes.
