Will always love this performance. What a different world maybe with no injuries in 15
I will always have massive respect for Delly
This wasn't even Steph's final form, and guarding him almost cost Delly his life.
He's different.
Delly is who Pat Bev thinks he is
Watching him try to guard Steph Curry is one of my permanent basketball memories. Because that's the time when I realized how much of a difference making hand checking illegal really makes in allowing people, shooters like Steph to run free.
Drinking coffee didn't really help him to though 😂😂😂
The cavaliers didn't do him justice they didn't give him a 2 min break or nothing. They could have put shump on him for a few plays
Mad respect
1000th like, that was a moment in that serious
I don't know why the Kings didn't use him in the playoffs
That “F^CK he tried” came from JJ’s soul as he had a flashback…his blood pressure high as eagle nookie rn 😂
With how much money they are paid, they should all be coming close to death every game.
Well there has to be a few ultra-hard working aussies to compensate for the rest of us….
I love JR and JJ two of the greatest for recognizing this about Delly. Respect
It's not just defending Steph. Delly was THE 2ND OPTION in that Finals. Imagine that
Delly put that got that best of curry an he started firing treys back it was crazy
