Purvis with his first NBA bucket!

[UConnStats]

Made a mid range jumper on his first attempt off the dribble. Congrats to the kid!

Crazy. I think I can count on 1 hand how many posters here believed he could get in the league, let alone within a year. Just a testament to his work ethic. Love the kid, im betting on him to stick.

 

[JakeTheDog]

Man this makes me smile. So happy for the kid.

Of course it's a long two just inside the three point line

Hey! Hey! Don’t even go THERE. At least he was in bounds.

Terrific

 

[Matrim55]

I'll eat a double helping of crow here.

Congrats Rodney! 8 Huskies have played in the league this year.

It may not have been optimal game strategy all these years, but it prepared him for this moment.

 

[Robertelamin]

It's almost surreal to see him in an NBA uniform but this is awesome.

Great story - I know a friend in Baltimore's westside is pulling for him! Hopefully, we will see Rodney play soon.

I get it, from a coach’s perspective, Rodney would do certain things which would drive Chief crazy. But, I always loved the kid and his dedication to UConn. He always had a warm greeting for Chief and looking forward - his best basketball days are ahead of him.

Choking on the crow... Is it me or did he look really small out there?

This never gets old.

McNulty?

I was checking all the comments before I jumped in on this. First thing that came to mind.

So, at this point, Rodney controls his basketball life for the next 15 years. Probably not the path he envisioned as a HS Jr or Sr, but he made it. Now it's on him to sustain it.

He obviously put in a ton of work within the past year, so he has the right mindset and has the talent. Best wishes going forward for him.

After watching the video, it was ok. A shot clock thing and it was the right shot. Sorry for my snark Rodney!

 

[Son of Robert]

This is what success looks like. Congratulations Mr. Purvis.

[Milo65]

Yes, eating Crow and happy to do so. Pulling for RP.

Good for Rodney! Hoping it's the first of many, but even if it's the only one he ever scores, no one can ever take it away from him.
