    This will never not be funny. The genuinely shocked yet completely resigned disappointment from the commentators. Like they’re just deflated that a person would throw an exciting game like that.

    “Butler missed it badly? Watch this.”

    man i watched this shit i flipped it on league pass because it was close in the 4th and like right where this clip starts is what I first saw. lmao

    Can’t believe I thought this bum was gonna be good.

    Y’all need to show some respect to Valentine. That shot saved the game for us

  6. Denzel was an absolute beast in college. He took shots like these back then, too, but he made them against college defenders. Unfortunately, like so many NBA busts, he thought he could play the same way against bigger, faster athletes, and never figured out how to become an effective role player. It’s too bad, because he definitely had the talent to stick around. As an MSU alum + Bulls fan I was really excited when the Bulls drafted him lol.

  7. I really believed in Denzel (irrationally), not because I knew anything about college ball but because that was the year the Bulls traded DRose.

    During the draft, when he was picked the commentators said: [“Bulls might of lost their Rose, but they get a Valentine.”](https://youtu.be/Oy5CcNOjrSU?t=65)

    Like your father, I’m not mad, just disappointed

    dudes didn’t care with lower occupancy regular season games

    Stacey King still calls any shot by the hashmark “Denzel Valentine Range.”

    HAHA, didnt know about the jimmy shot which makes this whole thing even funnier

  12. That’s how most of my shots go when I’m in bed dreaming about playing basketball

    I will never forget how after this shot he was roasted for two years, washed out of the league, then this sound went viral on tiktok and he got roasted all over again by hundreds of thousands of people who don’t even watch basketball.

    god. 19 on the shot clock. 53 left in the game. transition, 2.5-3 steps back, with all 5 bulls a 3 point line away or more from a rebound. just a disgusting act from valentine, and a complete indictment on an otherwise unremarkable career.

    And that’s why he’s not in the league.

    I make it a point to watch this play every time it passes my timeline.

    Valentine came to Australia to play NBL for one of the strongest teams.

    He was trash.

    I hated this fucking guy so much. I am so glad he is gone.

    Crazy Jimmy shot a airball right before that lol

    people don’t really get how bad this shot is until they learn that Chicago was down by **24** at one point. Coby White and Vucevic pretty much clawed them back into the game singlehandedly (Coby White was perfect at the rim, if I’m remembering correctly) and Miami had blown lead after lead after lead prior to this game. this shot is unspeakably bad. r/heat, at the time, was doomposting at nuclear levels up to Denzel Valentine saving this game for us. he’s a Heat legend for all the wrong reasons.

    Denzel Valentine played **33** games in the NBA after this. it was genuinely a career-ending shot for him.
