Deni very introspective. Respekt!
Look at Deni man so inspirational
mvp
Tiago needs to start to blame his own self rather than the players but we'll give him few more months to prove his worth. Respectfully, the management
Abstract translation of the Hebrew:
Q: The team is relying on you as a key playmaker, a star, do you feel comfortable with that?
A: I've never been in this situation, being a key playmaker and all, but I can tell you I'm learning a lot. I feel I have a responsibility to share the ball and get the guys into the game, find them in the right places and talk to them. It adds on my shoulders but it's something I enjoy doing. These are my first times so I'm trying to learn.
Q: in the third quarter you were in a scoring frenzy, but in the final play you preferred passing to Jeremy who looked to be in the better position for a three and in the end 3 shots, did it pass through your head?
A: that's the player I am. I always try to look for the right pass, I don't force the play. Sometimes it's another guy's night and I'll have to find him. Teams are closing on me in the paint and my responsibility is to find the other guys, I believe in them. Many times when I enter the paint, teams close ranks and I'm looking for the right pass. That's the player I am and I believe it is a good way to win
Smart ๐๐ค๐ thank u

What an amazing and humble player. We love you, Deni โค
Full translation of the Hebrew Q&A (from 4:03 till the end):
Q: With your individual improvement and so many players missing lately, it looks like the team is relying on you more. Do you feel comfortable in that situation?
A: Look, Iโve never been in this situation before. Iโve never been the primary ball handler, and being in this position – I can tell you Iโm learning a lot. I wasnโt used to this role, and I feel like I have a responsibility to move the ball, get the other guys involved, find the players in spots where they feel comfortable, and talk to them. It definitely adds some weight on my shoulders, but I enjoy it, because I like being the guy who gets others into the game. You know, sometimes I do it better, sometimes a little less well, but these are my first times in this role, so Iโm trying to learn.
Q: I think a good example of this was at the end of the third quarter – you were on a crazy scoring zone, and still, on the last play, you kicked it out to Jerami for what looked like a better three, which ended with three free throws. Was that going through your mind?
A: Thatโs the player that I am. I always try to look for the right pass. I donโt force things. Some nights itโs going to be someone elseโs night, and I need to find him for open looks. A lot of teams prepare and pack the paint against me, and I feel like my responsibility is to find my teammates and trust them. I know that when I attack the paint, they pack the paint, so I try to make the right pass. Thatโs how I play, thatโs my playing style, and I think itโs a winning style.
True leader โค
YOU wanted that game, YOU fought..most of the players didnt

The guy need shooters. put a 40+% c&s guy next to Avdija and he's gonna end up at nearly 50%. and it will make the offense very hard to stop.
In Hebrew he is also backing up his mates. great teammate.
This dude is only 24 years old and has already 5 years of experience. He is so mature and so smart like a much veteran โฆ I just donโt know how will it work with Dame on the roster next year

He is one of the smartest player in the NBA!!
Talk about your shitty team for god's sake if i were him i would go nuts saying trade everyone like bro watching him pulling 3 ppl to the paint and camara and grant shooting bricks like holy deni stattistics aside blazers had 14% from 3
The answer in Hebrew was much more profound and telling that the other answers and questions.
I hope theyโll add subtitles so English speakers could understand what he is saying.
Such a special kid
Well it's like this. First: they need to get healthy and get their players back. Second: they are one of the WORST shooting teams in the NBA so STOP shooting 3's and take a step closer (mid-range boys). Third: when a shot goes up, EVERYONE turn toward the basket and BOX OUT a player. Fourth: VALUE EACH possesion. You have 24 seconds to get the BEST shot you can find. Do not be in a hurry and jack up a 3 point shot that you have a 75% chance of missing. Fifth: on defense, stop running "past" the man shooting a three point shot. Instead, here's an idea, BOX HIM OUT !!!!!!!!!!! Sixth: when running a fast break, the dribbler needs to be in the middle with teammates on each side. This gives you pass options. Then drive the ball TO THE HOOP! DO NOT kick it out for a missed 3 point shot. Instead, attack the rim and score or get fouled and go to the line and get the team in foul trouble. This is allBASIC basketball that the "best players in the world" do NOT understand.
If Jrue had been able to play the Blazers would have likely won
