Jerome Dyson to the NBA

[mauconnfan]

Jerome tweeted earlier today "Got that call I've been waiting for headed back to the NO get to sign the contract in the morning" It's about time.

Have to give the kid a ton of credit he worked his tail off and stayed with it didn't he? ....... best of luck to Jerome and hope he stays and makes a wad of cash for him and his loved ones!!

 

[Waquoit]

Go get 'em Jerome!

No...SEND IT IN, JEROME!

 

[Waquoit]

Chief00 agrees with you, but first, he would like to list the 456 reasons why Jerome Dyson is a horrible human being.

But not until he updates his diatribe about the parking garage at The Rent.

 

[Prezidint]

Of course, what this really shows is how G-d-awful New Orleans is.
Their winning percentage is .263. That's horrible. Awful.
Of course, it's about the same as Jerome's 3-pt shooting percentage in the D-League (.285).
If this is in fact correct, and Jerome is getting signed, then he certainly had a fine last game in the D-League.
Team lost.
He went 3 of 12 from the field, 1 of 4 from 3, and 1 of 2 from the line.
4 assists - 5 turnovers.
Classic Jerome! Ahh, the memories! His 1 for X games, with X being greater than 10, stand out among the greatest - Allen going off on Georgetown. Kemba owning Pitt.

No, I won't "get over" it, just like you don't "get over" other tragedies that befall you in life.
Did we "get over" it when the Germans bomber Pearl Harbor?
Did we "get over" it when we started hating Dook?
Did we "get over" it when Ross cheated on Rachel (albeit, they were on a break)?

I'm not getting over it. You can ban me, but you can't get me over it. I won't willingly let you live in your make-believe world where Jerome's copious on-court sins (and a few off-court) are all forgiven.

Jerome, on the basketball court, was a loser. He's currently a basketball loser.
His team, Tulsa, is a losing team.
The team he's going to, NO, is a losing team.
His teams at UConn were losing teams, except the year he got hurt, then they won to the final four. They won without him.

He's a loser on the court.

This is not a coincidence. It's because he's a self-centered cancer who drains the life out of his teammates with his selfish and bone-headed plays. Nothing takes the air out of a team more than a ball hog who doesn't look for his teammates first and who commits regular momentum-killing turnovers.

Sure, he plays hard. But he plays hard for the wrong reason. He plays hard to self-aggrandize, not to win as a team.

That's the way it was, that's the way it is, and that's the way it's always going to be. A leopard can't change his spots.

So all you weak minded simpletons who want to trumpet the fact that "NBA U" just put another guy in the NBA, enjoy it while it lasts.

Fact is, if the guy had figured out how to play UConn team ball in the 4 years he was here, rather than his me-first, crash to the rim, turnover machine, and bomb crap shots technique, he would have been drafted right out of UConn.

Persistence. The kid has it! Congratulations to Jerome. You did yourself and the UConn program proud! Go get 'em.

That's some fine Freudian projection you got going there. I speak for myself, but I suspect others would second the motion,
Why don't you take a flying ducku_c_k at a rolling donut, arschloch!

 

[TheRogers]

No...SEND IT IN, JEROME!

Ha ha....I was thinking of that but I figured that was linked to Jerome Lane.

The other good one was the alley-oop to Stanley against Texas. When they did the replay, Kellogg had the best tag line when he said "Go get it Stanley!"

There's no doubt jerome has the athleticism for the league:

There's no doubt jerome has the athleticism for the league:

Nonsense.
He's a one trick pony with the 2 step, run up dunk. Find a video of any other dunk by Dyson that doesn't have these elements: 1. Running, 2. two step run up to rim, 3. Dunk with right hand. You won't find one, because he only has one dunk. For a 6/3 guy, that's not NBA athletic.

His athleticism is well below the average NBA player.

I can't believe I didn't get any likes for my last post. It was so well written.

The Dyson illusion. New Orleans sees it.

If you're pleading for likes, maybe don't trash a player that did so many good things in a UConn uniform.

And your argument that someone can't be an NBA athlete because they're a one-dimensional dunker is one of the more ridiculous things I've seen on here. Dyson could never attempt another dunk in his life and it wouldn't affect his capability on an NBA roster.

A lot more goes into becoming an NBA player than "how many ways you can dunk." The Hornets executives obviously looked at the bigger picture. Congrats to Jerome, look forward to seeing him join Emeka in NOLA

 

[boba]

Speaking of losers....

I'll place myself in the losing winner category. I was lost but just now I found the ignore function! Winner, winner, chicken dinner! I am no longer tempted by the SIWOTI syndrome.
Oh and congratulations to Jerome. It is worth noting he has accomplished more by age 25 than a certain troll will accomplish in his entire life!

 

[Fishy]

Welcome to the Boneyard where a guy who had his education paid for by basketball, who makes a living playing basketball and is now entering the pinnacle of his sport is a loser while some yahoo in his pajamas banging away at his keyboard in between bites of waffle no doubt considers himself a winner.

 

[NaughtybyNapier]

In which we finally prove that 09' was ours and UNC lucked out when we lost a starter and future NBAer to injury.

Suck it, UNC!

 

[aceboon]

glad to hear, I was hoping Jerome would go to Europe after this year so he could make some bank but ultimately the D-League stint worked out for him with the year end call up. hopefully he makes an impression and earns either a training camp spot next year and/or a contract.

 

[Chief00]

Good luck to Jerome. Hopefully, he has matured in the last couple of years. Not sure if New Orleans is the best location for him - but we will see what he makes of it.

 

[DaronDad]

So happy for Jerome!!!

 

[aceboon]

Based on your post Jerome has done more maturing the last couple of years than you have. Let.It.Go.

Welcome to the Boneyard, where "basketball loser" gets transmogrified into "loser" in a post where a bunch of words that add up to "click "like" if Prezidint pisses you off" are disguised as innovative thought.

Hey. Look at it this way. I've won as many NCAA tourni games as Jerome. And as many High School championships (11 and 11 senior year premonition). And as many NBA games.

He "makes a living" playing basketball? That's 12-25 grand a year in Tulsa.

He's "entering the pinnacle" of his sport? Oh my my Fishy - I've never seen your panties wadded up your ass quite so far. It's the pinnacle of the sport to get a 10 day contract or some such thing? Playing for one of the 2 or 3 worst teams in the NBA? On what is likely to be a short term contract?

You Dyson huggers can keep your fairy tale alive, but there is no disputing his track record - everywhere the man has played he has lost, including the Proctor Academy, UConn, Tulsa, and now, it seems, New Orleans.

Hey, in his defense, maybe he just has never figured out why he doesn't win. Maybe he's a nice guy who sincerely has never figured out that his style of basketball is a blueprint for losing. Maybe. Maybe he should read this:
Your shot form is awful and you're a bad shooter - stop shooting the 3.
You turn the ball over constantly because you're constantly crashing into traffic. Learn to pick you spots and don't be so predictable.
You become better when you are a threat to pass after you begin your drive.
If you make your teammates better with better passing, that will open up the floor for you.
If the team loses, you don't win, even if you get a 10 day contract in the NBA.

Maybe that will help.

Lord I hope he never ends up coaching at UConn.

 

[Excalibur]

There's no doubt jerome has the athleticism for the league:

That highlight is possibly the worst charge call in the history of the sport.

 

[Fishy]

Evidently, given the NBA uniform he put on today, he is better at his job than you are at yours.

Perhaps some introspection on your part is in order...you know, to figure out why you never made it to the top of the mountain.

 

[UConn990411]

He doesn't have the athleticism to play in the NBA?

Apparently you have the same bats**t crazy definition of "athleticism" as Waylon (as in you have no idea what the word means).

 

[johnhuskies95]

UConn was 23-1 with Dyson in 2009 and #1 in the country.

They were 8-4 without him.

Shut up.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Lmao. Prezident stfu.

Jerome was one of Calhoun's favorite players and now an NBA team is willing to give him a shot.

Do you want to claim you know more than Calhoun and NBA executives? Be my guest.
