Dennis Smith Jr. was out of the league last season at just 24 years old after being a lottery picks a few years before. He thought about trying out for the NFL before the Hornets offered him a 1 year deal to be a backup. Now he’s starting and making an impact but his journey to reviving his career is the most inspiring story in the league this year.

2 ACLs in one knee? No wonder he athletic af
Lol every time he tears his ACL he sprouts two more ACLs
@@gorillajoe999 Like a lizard tail or something!??
No fr that’s crazy
I've never heard anything like that. No wonder man was dunking the ball at 10yo
jabari parker moment
Hats off to DSJ having the mental fortitude to go through all these injuries while no team wanted him and continuing to put in the work like that. Truly deserved :)
When you have a passion for something it’s hard to “quit”
Yea I probably woulda filded
He's injury prone because he's not putting the work in.
@@chuckdeuces911 that makes 0 sense. there's no way u can change the way ur joints are made lmao no matter how hard you work a person born with glass bones and joints will always have glass bones and joints.
I'm happy for him. As a Mavs fan, I'm sad things didn't work out for him but I hope he can continue to have a role in the league going forward
As a Knicks fan I’m happy he’s getting his redemption arc
I've still got his rookie year jersey, I'll always remember his time on the Mavs
Mavs fan here too. Rick did him so dirty. I'm glad he's turning it around, he didn't deserve that.
@@bandjolyn he definitely didnt
@@marvdatboi as a Knicks fan Dennis probably don't want yo support ALL PERSONAL 💀
As a Knick fan, very very happy to see him succeed. David Fizdale was the king of destroying players' development and the fact our fans chanted for Frank Ntilikina over him was just rude. Deserves the success.
Honestly don’t agree with the fizdale comment 🤔 I don’t think that guy ever really had a chance to succeed. Ppl take fizdale so they can tank. That it self won’t make a coach career worthy.
No u not😂😂😂😂
@@orbitprodutions You tank because you want to develop young players, which Fizdale was AWFUL at. Literally every player Memphis and New York drafted under him turned into total garbage with exception to Mitchell Robinson.
Tell that to Rick Carlisle. He was the start of ruining DSJ’s career. The young man can damn well ball.
I have never heard of a David Fizdale hater lmao you got be some new kind of clown 😆 Im weak you said he destroyed players development lol youtube need to ban you for being ridiculous and lame.
He was my favorite high school player, college player, and ended up on my hometown team the Mavs. I met him at the North park mall here in Dallas and got a pic with him, super cool dude. I’m a mavs fan but I’m a DSJ fan as well I hope he has a long healthy career
Slime ball move by Rick Carlisle. Who should be above that kind of stuff....
I would like to see more positive focused videos like this in the future. We concentrate so much on negative that we miss stuff like this. Good reporting dude.
For real, I like the host here but he's gone a little ESPNy with the hate and hot takes.
This style way better
100% agreed!
Positive stories get less attention. I agree i wish we could see more positive stories. however, I feel like this is still a bit early. Would be a better story if it was at least half the season had been played already before using this title to describe Dennis Smith Jr season so far.
There's probably more players like DSJ we don't hear about..I. luvdemdawwwwgz who keep fighting and scratching who NEVER GIVE UP despite what people, coaches and fans say..GO GIT IT FELLAS!!!🔥🏀🔥👊🏾
Facts
That's so awesome bro... Stories like this really make me happy. Getting a second chance to prove yourself in your hometown team is crazy.. I hope his career only shines from now on🔥🔥
What a feel good story. He really deserves the comeback.
#MisterDSJ💪🏾👊🏾🏀💯
It's great to see a player getting that 2nd chance and making really good use it, hopefully he can finish this season healthy and get a multi-year contract next offseason.
✨🙏🏾✨💯
This is so awesome man, I been rooting for him since the draft, glad he seems to of found a home 🏡
That's quite a story. It seemed as if it would be an easier road for him than it's turned out to be. I hope he can stay healthy.
Good for him. I liked him in Portland and think he would have stuck if he didn't get hurt. Hopefully he has finally found a home. Talent has always been there.
He wasn’t traded to portland. He was a FA when he went to the blazers last season and was hurt when he came in and gave it his all till they needed his slot to continue the tank.
Didn't even know any of this
I wish him well
Love a good comeback story 💯
You probably hated him too
I didn't know he tried out for the NFL that's incredible I'm glad someone is giving him a shot he is talented
Shout out to him and his Dad … coached him at five star camp in Charlotte!! He’s just different ever since 8th grade! 👀💯
We love DSJ in Dallas. Would have loved to pick him back up this past summer.
Hornets are Better than Dallas . Lamelo is better than that traveling bum Luka
@@torresthemonster guess crack is better in charlotte too
Been watching him since hs, him and lonzo were the ones I wanted to see succeed the most so this is heart warming
I liked him on the Mavs & always wanted him to succeed. I wish nothing but the best for D.S.J.
I felt bad bc I lived in North Carolina in the Triangle where UNC, Duke and NC State are and the hype for DSJ was as if he was at UNC or Duke
Let this be a lesson to all you kids out there. Stay ready so you don't have to get ready. This wasn't luck. This was preparation meeting opportunity. DSJ has been a joy to watch since he was 15 and im so proud of dude
I've watched him since highschool. Happy for him, I've always expected good things from him
This is wonderful to see. Good luck to him! 🙏🏾
Hoping Dennis can fit the 6th man role when Lamelo and rosier are back 🔥 loving the defensive effort
I mean he's starting now so coming off the bench is no problem. What do you mean?
“Dennis Smith Jr stay solid my 🥷🏾”- J Cole
Inspiration is amazing
I'm so happy for him. He was my favorite player in that draft class.
This video almost made me cry fr💯 love his determination
Knicks fan here... super happy for DSJ.
Us Knicks fans really did a number on him... was sad to see. Awesome comeback! Hope he remains healthy and successful
Love seeing this type of content great comeback story happy to see him flourishing
I’m so happy for him. Such an inspiring story!
I'm a day late but man, the research into making your videos are incredible. Keep showing us your best bro 💯
Love his story hope he could keep the consistency and get better chances
Look at Dennis man so inspirational
Thanks bro, needed this.
Bravo 👏🏾 Dennis!!! Don't Give up!!! Thanks 👍🏾 for That Information ☺️,My Prayers 🙏🏾are with Him;!!
I didnt even realize he was playing. I was watching the highlights of the hornets v warriors game, and i heard the announcer say "Smith Jr" Then, i heard them say it again, when he hit the game winner. I was thinking: "Dennis Smith Jr?" FREAKIN AWESOME! Im def rooting for his success.
I get confused to because there's another Smith Jr in the league now
Mental fortitude and people from these lows are very likable and humble. Kudos to him and D. Rose.
I hope he makes it, i forgot this dude was even in the nba, i remember really liking him his first 2 years
Good for Dennis never gave up ✊🏽
Dennis looks like he’s just having fun man , that’s awesome .
hes playing so well for us. i hope he stays getting a lot of minutes when Lamelo and Terry come back
That was good to see yo,keep it up young man .💪🏾💖👍🏿
Always loved his game , wish him the best
I love this for him! Never give up kids put the work in and anything is possible
I’m cheering for you!!! Stay Up!!! When you’re on the floor play on or play the angles!!!🏀🔥🏀🔥🏀🔥
This world can be very toxic sometimes, I’m glad he’s finally getting the recognition he deserves. Also great video, keep up the good work 👌💯
BRO WAS A BEAST AT ONLY 10!! the first time I could dunk was so late at 14! MY GUYS GOT HOPS
😂 you think you late I’m 30 and still only barely get rim and can’t dunk 😂💪🏾
@@TheseNutts2 lol height can also play a huge role into this as well. I was 6'2 when I got my first dunk
@@manmeet4804 😂 definitely man definitely!!!😂
just heard for first time. love your passion and facts!
I'm proud of/happy for DSJ!!! He never gave up and kept working hard!!! He knew his worth and where he belongs. 💪💪💪
I'm a die hard Knick fan. I always wanted him to succeed. I am glad he is doing it
This is a breath of fresh air. I will be honest, I actually teared up a little. Don't know the young man or anything like that, but love stories like these
I am happy someone of your caliber on the Tube put together this video.
love this video man. iono whats in the water but ur videos lately just feel... just feel better n more authentic
He was one of my favorite players when he was with the mavs and I thought he would've made a great backup pg. I'm glad he's back in the league
you definitely have a knack for making videos/being a media personality. keep up the good work.
Glad he knew he had to put the work in. Now I want to see him get comeback player of the year recongnition from the NBA. Everyone knows he has talent. He biggest problem was not his game... it was his confidence. Teams did a terrible job with DSJ and it almost destroyed him. I'm glad to see him doing well
Bro I love your enthusiasm.. great story 💪
Always been a fan of his...glad he's making another go of it
Wow, didn't know it. Great story. Deserves the best. Not many people try to even consider getting along with their competition. Mostly they either want to put them down or don't care about them. But to try to help them feel comfortable in another continent while it cost you you're starting position if it helps him to play better, that's incredible, not many would try to help someone so that you can build chemistry and mash together well. Hope he has a long and happy career and life.
And not to pile on you know who...but some players actually really want to play and succeed. Seeing this makes it that much clearer, injuries happen but determination + opportunity = good things mostly. Gd video man!
I am from Dallas and I always loved smith jr!! He can ball and is athletic and if he can shoot the 3 ball he gonna be something to watch out for.
been a fan. glad to see hes doing it with my fav team
Dope video! As a native North Carolina n I’m happy for DSJ. Wolf pack legend
2/6 legend!! #Fayettnam do yo thang fam!!
Glad to see him succeed.👍🏾
So very happy for Dennis!
Great news! No one ever doubted Smith's athleticism. I'm pretty sure he's top 3-5 EVER in the vertical leap at the NBA combine. You're right that what team a player is drafted to is an underrated factor. Plus, it takes some good players a little extra time to figure out the NBA game. I hope Smith plays his way into a nice-sized bag.
Happy for DSJ. Rooting for you!
I hope he stays healthy and balls out the rest of his career.
its cool seeing a feelgood story for once good luck to him
Good for you bro. Resilient dude. He can play football too. Baller!
Been a huge fan of Dennis since he was in highschool. we knew this was coming
GOOD ON YOU for making this kind of redemption story video. Alot of CZcamsr's (MattBeGreat) like to dog out NBA Players that might have had issues and didnt become Steph Curry and fell out of the league for Clickbait, but you.. You actually made a good video, and for that reason alone. Subbed!
I’m happy for my boy he deserves it he worked for it
What a way to put this into words. wonderful
I’ve been said he’s on a come up. Perfect example on why you don’t give up.
Loved the vid!
Dennis Smith jr. still has the illest high school mixtape ever. He belongs in the NBA
So inspirational man😭😭🙌🙌🙌
I love a good comeback story
As a mavs fan I always appreciated his knack for making big plays when it counted
Love to see he's back... The Mavs under Rick Carlisle was damaging but he's got the chance to make a run
NCST fan I Wished DSJ stayed n school to develop an all round game which would've matured him physically an mentally.. kudos on him not giving up....
I’ve always wondered what happened to him, dude had crazy bounce.. this is fucking dope let’s goo dsj 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
my man from Fayetteville....rooting for the guy
Happy for him. Good story. Good video.
Dennis Smith Jr. Is a good role player, he will never be a All-Star or anything, but I'm always happy to see a player like Smith Jr. to have a come back season. Hopefully Dennis Smith Jr. keeps this up.
Such a great story that I had never heard before
I liked him when he was in Detroit. He was always all over stat sheet making plays
I'm so happy for him i been rooting for him I always make him my starter pg in 2k lmao
always been fan of him since middle school hoops lol bro deserves this. God always right on time.
amazing to see dsj back on track, though im interested in seeing him play db in the nfl
This is inspiring, i'm also about to switch to volleyball but then i watched this
Love that he was able to revive his career
He is one of the reason why I won the fantasy in his rookie year. I drafted him, donovan and simmons. Then this season's fantasy I pick him up in the waiver. So lucky man.
He's one of my favorite young players. I had no idea what Carlisle did to him. Thank you for sharing. I'm glad he's getting another chance. I never considered him a bust because I knew he had the talent to play. It's unfortunate that team politics get in the way of these guys careers at times.
Dennis Smith Jr stay solid my nigga 💪
You should be on ESPN covering the next Hornets game. This is awesome
I needed a video like this ☺️
