Why Dante Exum is so Important for the Mavs, Dallas Mavericks vs Sacramento Kings | Clips

Yeah I said yes I said yesterday on the show the Mavs can be title contenders one of the things that could hold them back is they’re shooting but they just have to make timely shots and you know who made timely shots Dante exom he makes two shots the whole game two two

Shots the whole game do you know what the two shots were 651 in the fourth quarter to tie the game for like the first time in forever yeah and then 27 seconds to basically win the game off of the PJ Washington kick out to him dude Two

Shots Dante XM made two that might have been my favorite moment of the season so far like I know we’re riding an emotional high right now but think about this so if you didn’t watch this game and you’re just listening you have to understand Kyrie Irving took this game

We’re gonna talk about him in a bit took this game to another level in the fourth quarter I mean just like an unbelievable performance by him even by his standards like unbelievable Dante the king said all right no Luca no no Kyrie we do not care we will leave one player on this

Court completely guarded and was exom who three straight possessions late in the game after it was tied missed three straight shots two wideopen threes and then I thought a really good drive and a good take he just missed the layup yeah three straight and then what does he do

The next possession shoots a wide openen three and hits it and the I mean the bench just went crazy like you could just see how happy everybody was for him that’s the type of basketball player you want on your team right there Luka grabs him on the bench holds his head into his

Chest and just like celebrates him you can just tell that Luca was so so stoked about that Luka loves When anybody hits a three and especially when somebody else does something that’s not him he’s like plus I mean if you’ve played yeah true but if you played Sports and it’s

Just like you have that one guy on your team that’s just you know works his ass off and it’s just struggling a little bit but then does that one thing and it’s just like this everyone is just super excited for him and that’s anytime exm does anything it feels like that’s

The reaction that he gets Tim KO pointed this out on Twitter and said I don’t know I literally don’t know where the Mavericks would be without Dante xen this season I think they legitimately would not have like three or four wins which is huge in the NBA like massive in

The NBA but you think about the Lakers game where he hadit seven threes you think about this game where he hits those two big threes and plays well you think about that stretch when Kyrie was out when exm had like a bunch of 20-point games in December I mean the

Mavs won four games in that stretch and if they don’t win some of those games then maybe they’re not in this position right now and we have to remind everybody where exm came from so exom was high draft pick was the fifth pick in like the 2013 or 14 draft and was

Dealt with injuries was not a good shooter in in the NBA before goes overseas to Europe gets thrown on the ground by by gersan yabui in the Euro league final uh but becomes a really good shooter in the Euro league like went in put in the work became like a

40% three-point shooter in the Euro league and the Mavs bring him over and then he slowly but surely has has has built into this role then gets hurt then he’s out for forever and now he’s back in the maps are like all right we don’t

Want to we this guy is so important for us he he is exactly what we’re missing in some of these key areas ball handling like point of attack defense can hit an open shot and all that and then they’re like all right well we don’t want to

Just overextended so they only play him like 19 20 minutes but there are some of the most important minutes the Mavericks have and he proved why in this game I mean just absolutely uh two huge massive shots for Dante exom and uh yeah Mavs Mavs get the win and I want to give

Credit to PJ Washington this whole thing too because PJ Washington had the pass to kick out to him and he had two completely different Hales in this game yeah no he he definitely did I I’m just look at it right now he had the second best plus minus in the second half plus

15 and in the first half I mean plus minus is a wonky stat but had the worst plus minus at minus 18 with one point on 0 of six shooting and it was like uh oh here we go like PJ Washington’s having another one of these and it felt like

All of the progress maybe that we were making because even his shots like he he was doing that thing where he shot and immediately sprinted towards the rim and you’re like oh God shoot I got to go get this yeah that’s not want a shooter to

Be where he’s like I need to chase this rebound down the moment the ball leaves his hands it looked like have you seen those Dude Perfect videos where they they pretend to throw the ball over the the building and then then T like Ty throws the ball up and he’s got to go

Run and catch it himself I’m not lie I have not watched too many I was actually taking it back last year when I learned they were Dallas people yeah they’re in Frisco I I found that out was like they were hanging out with your your boy Ben

And Skin today at the roller Town unveiling oh nice hey shout out to Ben and Skin love you guys love them but uh no dude perfect you want to have me on I could hit some crazy shots been practicing Luca’s been on there yeah yeah I know if that’s crazy maybe they

Can uh maybe they can get in contact with Luka but anyway the the Dude Perfect reference was lost on you completely yeah a little bit I I was just nodding my head that’s fine

Dante Exum only hit 2 SHOTS in the Dallas Mavericks’ win over the Sacramento Kings but they were both clutch and Exum has been so important to Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, Jason Kidd, and the Mavs.
