Traded him to basically give Luka the ball. Luka is really a three he’s not a guard but can’t score like that having to guard those wings. Put him at the one he’s bigger than everyone. He was real nice & I thought it would work , they didn’t give it a chance.
Man I remember watching his mixtape from highschool then him destroying Duke at NC State. Hope he gets signed back to the league soon. Dennis has crazy athleticism.
I’m not going to front, I paused this to look that triple double game up Theo. You looked good out there; that’s good bump! I pray You’ll get an opportunity soon my boy. Inshaallah
Man as a mavs fan I was happy we drafted DSJ. My favorite HS hooper at the time. Wish him and Luka worked out but I’m still glad I watched him and Luka live. Even picked up a DSJ jersey at the time. And STILL HAVE IT!! Great pod 👍
I had my fair share of run-ins with Dennis, kwe, Harry and bam throughout middle and high school 😓 I can name many more from NC at that time but the state was LIT. Pure headache every single game/tournament
Dennis Smith Jr wen he was in Mavs,he was a rookie.He played phenomenally at a rkie level.But now in Nets,Dennis is playing free,aggressive & confident.I fw his poster dunks & he's a dope plymkr.
RIP my boy Dre mean we was running them schools 2013-2014 at page. We should of won states that year smh but LL14 4L 🧡🖤. Dope to see the NC natives with a podcast and talk about their experiences.
34:09 Bro back to back games is crazy when you think about it And then every other day in the offs 🤔 Especially when you goin against a team who’s not coming off a back to back 😂
Dennis just needed to or needs to get to a team with vets trying to compete for a chip. Injuries obviously hurt & going to young teams with no set direction . I wish bro the best , hopefully he can get somewhere & stick. His play was always solid.
You don’t get a statute if you only played one season with a team, won the chip, and dipped! No sir. Statutes reserved for franchise players like Lebron in Cleveland, Dwade in Miami, Dirk in Dallas, Steph in G State. Does Durant get a statute in OKC? 👀
1:08:43 that SB/Finals point goes both ways imo. The one game and out is harder but that can also make it easier. Somebody like Flacco or Eli go on a heater and ride that to a ring. You don't get that in the NBA
Please, miss me with the 'politics' noise. The fact is he an undersized shooting guard without a reliable jumper, that's why it's hard for guys like him to carve out a career in 2024. Being an insane athlete can get you a long way in the game but if that's all you got you're gonna hit a ceiling like he did. He been on 6 teams, bro.
@@_Michael.Knight Then what is the 'more'? and be specific. Because I hear this all the time, oh, there's some reason teams don't pick him up, because politics or blackballed or some other nonsense. Yeah, he a good defender, but he's small and way too ball dominant on offense. He been through 6 teams, they all in on the politics?
Mannnn…I’ve been a NY Knicks fan since the late 80s. I wanted DSJ on draft night to be that pick so bad & then when we traded for him I was so hype. Brunson is dope but he’s much more of a small SG & ISO scorer than a playmaker & we still don’t have any athleticism or anybody who creates easy shots in the halfcourt from the perimeter like DSJ does. Damn shame it didn’t work out, SMH!
Bruh Theo talking bout i didn’t score a point. Like bruh you’re a benchwarmer. Stop talking like you were nice. You had to go back to school when all your peers were leaving to go pro relax dude
Luka did not ruin Dennis career, because it is not his fault that he came to the Mavericks, played in the same position and was better, so it is not his fault that the team management decided to build around him and not around Dennis Smith Jr. Dennis and Luka are very good friends to this day and Luka was not at all happy about Dennis being traded. Otherwise, he got a chances in other teams, where he didn't take advantage of them and show what he can do. Personally, I wanted that he stay in Dallas and play with Luka.
Dennis Smith Jr. should do more podcasts
Man I was a huge DSJ fan rookie year. I thought him and Luka was gonna be the best back court in the league. Hopefully he gets signed

Damn THEO. 100k! Rember when it was less than 10k! Keep Running!
Man I remember watching his mixtape from highschool then him destroying Duke at NC State. Hope he gets signed back to the league soon. Dennis has crazy athleticism.
Facts
Whenever Theo asks his guests “best mixtape” I always think of DSJ
that Duke game was my fav. that dunk at the end was the biggest slap lol
When he did that to duke i knew he was going to the league no question
You didn’t have to bring up the duke gane.lmao he was killing
Man I love how John shows love
I see why players rather play ball overseas than the NBA.
Dominic Artis had that shit…..JT Terrell with the fade was so pure
I’m not going to front, I paused this to look that triple double game up Theo. You looked good out there; that’s good bump! I pray You’ll get an opportunity soon my boy. Inshaallah
Ong😂😂😂same here.
Crazy Theo doesn’t have a job. Specially considering NBA teams can’t keep their main guys healthy.
Dennis smith Jr stay solid my nigga
“i’m playin when ben don’t play? oh im startin” 😭💀
12:44 “We already established Thon was 30”🤣🤣🤣🤣
Most Underrated Podcast in the Game 🔥
North Carolina stand up. He was one of the best to come out.
Always respect to Dennis Smith Jr. been a fan, keep your head up bro and hope we see back in the league soon!
THE GOAT, UNDERRATED, UNDER APPRECIATED.
Seventh woods was a freaking beast bruh lol these dudes were crazy that brought back memories
Man as a mavs fan I was happy we drafted DSJ. My favorite HS hooper at the time. Wish him and Luka worked out but I’m still glad I watched him and Luka live. Even picked up a DSJ jersey at the time. And STILL HAVE IT!! Great pod 👍
Bro is only 26 holy
This was a masterpiece!
Him describing his time really shows like situation and opportunity matters
I had my fair share of run-ins with Dennis, kwe, Harry and bam throughout middle and high school 😓 I can name many more from NC at that time but the state was LIT. Pure headache every single game/tournament

33:25 How he not talk about when he started yapping at Kyrie and then Kyrie showed him youngblood

Top 5 hoopmixtape 💯
I’m from Durham but was born a die hard Heel. I remember when State beat Duke at home 😂😂😂
Indiana def has had the most pros
Fire to watch when he's cooking but he's just too inconsistent...
Dennis just needed to or needs to get to a team with vets trying to compete for a chip. Injuries obviously hurt & going to young teams with no set direction . I wish bro the best , hopefully he can get somewhere & stick. His play was always solid.
Indiana got some hoopers
Love !

Not sure if he finished, but Dennis Smith Jr.entered state as a communications major. This is nothing to him. Extremely well spoken. NC Salute.
1:08:43 that SB/Finals point goes both ways imo. The one game and out is harder but that can also make it easier. Somebody like Flacco or Eli go on a heater and ride that to a ring. You don't get that in the NBA
22:07 what he mean by yellaguards haha

53:28 ya boy had Tommy John surgery as a NBA player, never heard of that one before! 🤯
Indiana the hoop state but I digress😤
Could definitely see him as a corner
Just realized DSJ look like Leon from Snowfall
He had 37 on our ass if I remember correctly 😂😂
Toronto Raptors should sign him. He could win them a chip fasho
Nobody know bout Lucile souder days
Texas tha Hoop State!! Better check dat shit again!! In more coming...👀 Oh" in Football state!!!
Maryland is the hoop state
Politics and injuries now this kid a free agent rn.. The league is grimey and this generation of kids gonna have a hard time carving out careers..

I haven’t liked Dennis since that time he tried to get tough with Kyrie when he was in Dallas been mid since
Please get seventh woods on here
Bad ass dude love his game , there is a lot of teams that could use his talent right now . NBA politics is nonsense.

Luka ruined his career honestly
Since his rookie year it has gone downhill and now out the league wtf
