@@oddking1 What? He's been on the Bulls the whole time... playing decent. A Drew League game is the level of pickup game. Some NBA players are not going to play well in those. A street baller will kill you in the Drew League if you don't have that edge.
Lack of discipline for organized ball was a lot of people I know problem .. including myself.. you can be nice in the streets but when you got coaches telling you to run plays even though you know you can break down defense on your own .. you just gotta listen and get yours when you can
If you live in LA you know about Nitty. He’s also a down to earth brutha. I’ve seen him give away more clothes and shoes to kids than anybody. Good dude. Much respect to this dude. And I hope he has all the success in the world. He deserves it.
majwho no one said anything about the league. Relax with that y’all shit. And the man is getting paid to do what he loves and he’s respected. Maybe you should have just left a comment instead of typing an answer to a question that I didn’t ask about. Fuckin genius.
When I seen him playing in the big 3 he looked young enough and looked like he had some game. Somebody in the league just gon have to fall in love with his game and believe in him if he is ever to make it.
Great video JC, but I disagree how u shitted on Denzel Valentine like that. Yes he got handled by Nitty. But Denzel earned the spot and paid his dues 2 get where he's at. So I didn't like how u said after getting shitted on he should of gave up his contract. Thats weak bruh. These r grown men, sounds like Nitty has had numerous chances 2 be great and it aint happened yet. He 30 now, he was 27 or 28 vs Denzel at 21 (maybe) he shouldve busted his ass. Great video, but disrespectful
Great analysis. Skateboarding is an individual sport. You do what you think will help you win. There is no coach. Taking harsh criticism from a coach and being some one who came to the sport late can really hurt your chances of any success.
He couldn't even hack it in the D-League when he was younger. He was never an NBA level talent. He's still good enough to play professionally in Taiwan though.
The same thing that makes you hot can also be your down fall. Wonder if he didn’t have that huge chip on his shoulder would his game suffer because that seems like that’s what drive him
His style translates to street ball. Even when he scored 40, they weren't all on Valentine. Denzel put in work at Michigan State and his game is better suited for the NBA. Lots of street ballers have the talent, but you have to have the discipline and all the things you mention. Enough said. You have to have the mindset too. Valentine is much better player to have on a team than Nitty. I'd choose Valentine every single time. If we're doing street ball, I'd go Nitty.
Basically the NBA takes away players skills and replaced them with "discipline" right? There's no way any NBA player worth his salt gets smoked like valentine did. Nitty would make a better pro at this point than I'm any day
Damn maybe if he got a psychologist more than likely he could have got over the mental hurdle to shape a positive attitude towards construction critism and form discipline. I for one learned a lesson watching this. I came her after watching him go 1v1 against HeziGod.
Valentine is a well rounded guard with good size, averaged near a triple double his last season at MSU. There's so much more to the game than 1v1. Sure, a Valentine iso play isn't a great idea but you can run thousands of plays to not only get him open but for him to get others open. I'd take the 6-6 Swiss army knife over a 6-1 iso player any day of the week
Translation if you go to college you better listen to yo masta even though you’re good. They have to keep that leash on you. My cousin played for Arizona same issue very talented but wouldn’t fall in line. I think sports is a joke for black players personally when no talent coaches try to tell men who’ve played their whole lives how to play basketball especially at amateur level.
Mans got caught betw a rock and a hard place All he needed to do was play in Kansas well enough & attend his “”classes”” Mans got caught in a accident in a Car his financial situation would never have dreamed of driving/owning
2:06 "....between him and me. " Is correct grammar. ....between he or between myself is grammatically incorrect and more importantly it's presumptuous pompous.
You're making Frank Nitty sound like a cautionary tale, that's bs. He is making a living playing basketball and he has a big enough following to make sure his brand continues making money....
He can be a fantastic pro but he’d get shattered in the league.. u still what will Bynum did to him in the summer? If he can’t stop an older ex nba player what is he doing against Russ and them lmfao no shot
You can tell Denzel a bust cuz coby white has came in and just took them minutes. But aye he still getting paid off that rookie contract though still I believe
the g luegue wow why do u act all bad u cant make to the NBA and u didn't so when ur schooling guys in the drew league the real ballers are in the NBA getting money lol
He may be a bum now. But he paid dues, went 2 college, had a decent collegiate career, then got drafted. Thats not a bum resume. Now I will say once he made he fell off, but he earned it all. Making All Big Ten is a good thing last I checked
It's my opinion. You're making it personal. Circumstances cause a lot of guys to miss making the league and vise versa. Cause a guys in the NBA don't make him better than someone who's not. Don't be so sensitive. It's nothing personal.
@@stuntedgrowth Valentine is better though. Street ball style will not get you far in the NBA. Rafer Alston tried it. Will Bynum was about 35 and cooked Nitty like an 8th grader. Bynum is no longer good enough to be in the league, but Denzel is. It is all about situations. Nitty has done well to raise his family and that's what's up. As far as the NBA, he wasn't good enough for the league.
