The NBA is Witnessing an INSANE Comeback Story

The NBA is Witnessing an INSANE Comeback Story

Dante exam’s comeback makes zero sense he was the number five pick but with such a bust people were saying some wild stuff about him I think at this point in time you should just hope that he turns into a guy that stays healthy and plays

75 games a guy that can play in a basketball game and not pee down his leg right what does that even mean but after 2 years overseas he’s helping Luca and Kyrie dominate exom couldn’t stay healthy more than a month got body slammed playing in Europe but is better

Than ever he bricks shots for eight years in the NBA now hits 7even threes against the Lakers defense what did he do in Europe to resurrect his career well Dante is actually a big reason people doubted Luca to begin with they were so used to overseas players being

Overhyped Andrew bogot went number one overrated Andrea berani in ‘ 06 bust you just don’t see these guys up close against Elite competition and even when you do they become Dante exom when he was 17 years old Dante got invited to the Elite Nike hoop Summit with the best

American prospects and he lit it up with guys like Andrew Wiggins Jabari Parker Julius Randall on the floor do you really need to see him play years in college no plus his dad was Cecil exom who is Michael Jordan’s roommate in college Cecil won a national title at

UNC with Mike before playing in Australia he personally trained Dante every day to become a pro what could go wrong so the Jazz took him number five over guys like Marcus Smart Julius Randle Zack LaVine in his summer league debut Dante dropped 26 with 10 assist and National media loved him watched

Dante play like 6 minutes of summer league already decided he’s going to be amazing he was even the featured player on NBA 2K15 My Career he was like your main rival throughout the game that is how much people predicted he would be great and he was at first he started the

Season Off the Bench but won the starting job 2 months in then his game changed he kept deferring to the vets like Gordon Hayward cuz Dante had never been on a pro team before he didn’t want to make the wrong impression but that led to the worst rookie season of all

Time of all qualified rookies in the three-point era he was dead last in a ton of categories the Jazz blew it by drafting an 18-year-old with no professional experience some guys do succeed High School to the NBA like alltime talents Kobe LeBron Dante was only great on defense he was quick and

Long enough to guard multiple positions but that’s a role player in the NBA not the number five pick but before he could improve Dante tore his ACL playing for Australia and when he finally came back it got embarrassing Hassan Whiteside snatching his shot like an adult on a playground Jordan Clarkson dunking on

His head and to make things worse he could not stay healthy Dante missed 68 games with shoulder surgery in 2018 Toren patella tendon in 2019 every time he worked on his game he got hurt but the Jazz still believed in him every offseason f would say this is the year

Our number five pick finally takes the leap but every year another injury but then he returned just in time for the 2018 playoffs about to be a free agent and against the Thunder and Rockets Dante was amazing especially on defense in a game two win against Houston Dante

Guarded Prime James Harden 22 times and held Harden to two points on those matchups some people even called called him the Harden stopper so the Jazz paid him 33 million that off seon but in a game against Detroit soon after he rolled his ankle on his own teammate’s

Foot Dante knew it was bad just look at his face this was like Anthony Davis who’s always getting injured but without the ad production so the Jazz traded him to the Cavaliers at 24 years old he found himself out of the league 18 months later anyone would tell you that

Is the end of the Dante exom story but 2 years later he is winning games with Luca and Kyrie how is that possible his first move was signing in Barcelona for the legendary cunis yaskovic aka the god of European basketball he knows what it’s like to be dumped by the NBA but

Bounced back on Barca Dante’s numbers improved but more importantly he stayed healthy the next season he moved to Serbia for partisan Belgrade and took a real jump for jelko abovich the goat of European coaches even Greg papovich admitted to stealing plays from this guy so Dante’s numbers took another huge

Leap and he stayed healthy despite getting body slammed in one of the worst basketball brawls of all time in Europe it was easier for Dante to dominate because of his size at guard it allowed him to go back to his strength of attacking the rim but also add a

Consistent three-point shot instead of just improving the defense his squad’s offense was amazing NBA teams are watching but the Mavericks were desperate they missed the playoffs last year with a terrible defense so they traded up on draft night for Senator Derrik Lely signed Grant Williams and gave Dante a 2year minimum deal his

Family was so excited they all moved from Australia to Dallas but on the day Dante signed his dad suddenly passed away at 60 years old the man who dedicated years to his son’s dream would not be able to see it come true but this time in the NBA no one expected a thing

I mean dude flamed out in the league and played well in Serbia great but they found out Dallas is the perfect fit for who Dante is he plays on and off the ball so he can team up with Luca or Kyrie or run the show himself he’s a

Great cutter so when Luca gets double teamed Dante flashes to the basket his game is to drive and kick as a point guard but if a defense is going to leave him open oh he will shoot it’s the biggest skill he picked up in Europe in

That Laker game Dante was in the corner got the pass from thj and buried the dagger three his seventh of the game and if you watch Dante is always in the mix making the right play I mean he doesn’t always feel the box score like Luca or Kyrie but his versatility can impact

Almost every play a big reason the Mavs are one of the best in the west is Dante’s defense now he can’t fix a defense all by himself but how often can you sign a minimum contract player who defends the other team’s best guy the only thing that can end this story now

Is a big injury but for two years in Europe and so far in the league he has played well and stayed healthy and he still watches and Reps his old team he’s not some Diva who just used them to get back to the NBA look at his genuine

Smile when he hears their name well it’s great to talk to a representative partisan Paran yeah partisan that’s right my friend that’s right Dante is an example of a guy who was overhyped in the draft with way too much expectation he should have been a late first round

Pick role player to begin with but now with a healthy body he landed on the perfect team to be the player he was always meant to be now one of Dante’s teammates in Utah was Donovan Mitchell he is a big reason that the Jazz were even ready to move on from Dante they

Already had the next star but now spider could be on the move again there are rumors he will be traded to one of four teams so I go deep on every single trade

Dante Exum was one of the biggest what-if’s of the mid-2010’s. He was drafted 5th overall by Utah but constantly ran into injuries. Now he’s back in the NBA after being cast-off to Europe and playing better than ever. How did he do it when everyone thought his career was over?
