The Deni Avdija Story | I Will Take Over The NBA

The Story of Deni Avdija
Here is the story of Deni Avdija, The Euro wonderboy that went from playing football in his young days to becoming Israel's most popular basketball player ready to take over the NBA.
Despite projecting as a top 5 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, Deni Avdija somehow fell all the way to ninth and landed in Washington. The Wizards didn’t expect him to be available by then, and Avdija was a bit surprised about how low he went. But if Deni’s life story tells us anything, it’s that he has always found a way to exceed expectations.
Join us now as we take a look at the story of Israeli sensation and Washington Wizards rookie, Deni Avdija.

The Story of Deni Avdija

It's so funny how NBA teams still underestimate players from outside the US, when they are so much more experienced than their college guys. You'd think, Luca should have taught them....

The struggle...

[@jamesdemerse418]

@@CourtsideTV1 Its why I always root fir the euro/foreign born players they can play they've been doing it longer than our own kids, cause they'd actually played with grown men, and professionally since they were young, as opposed to college kids

[@masoncharles2027]

I'll say this, if he can develop a consistent pull up jumper and gain a few advanced dribble moves (side step, spin, Euro etc.) and be more craft finishing around the rim, he has a shot to be an MVP candidate a 4-5 years from now. He already has most of the tools required, ball handling at 6'10 frame, passing, vision, competitiveness and an above average defense.

[@CourtsideTV1]

Would love to see that happen Mason

[@Roee1160]

Hey man, great video. Two notes: 1. As an Israeli and a Maccabi fan, I liked how you pronounced team names. They were almost entirely accurate! Maccabi Tel Aviv is pronounced: Mah-Kah-bi Tel Aviv Bnei Herzeliya is pronounced: Bn-ei Herzeliya (not "Benei", but close enough). Really impressed nontheless, the best pronounciation I've heard from a non-Israeli. 2. Deni won back-to-back European titles with the U21 team (2018-2019), was named MVP once, and was a part of the Team of the Tournament in both years.

[@CourtsideTV1]

Thanks Roy!

[@masterleviteh22]

Oh man I'm so excited to the start of the leauge. You saw DENI in 3 pre-season games, but I'm watching him sence he was 16. He's very talented, you will see how good he is. I really liked the video bro, keep update about Deni.🙏💙

[@CourtsideTV1]

Thanks hope you can enjoy my other videos to

[@netanelelyahu6927]

Liked this vid very much. good job! as someone that is watching Deni on court from his first day on the professional league I can tell you that the progress he made in 3 years is tremendous. he is very hard worker and he knows his weakness and the aspects in his game this he needs to improve. Moreover, he has great personality, his teammates love him and he have a lot of "chutzpah" (in a good way). If he'll continue to work and practice is this way, and thanks to his great personality, in my opinion he'll become an all-star in this league.

[@CourtsideTV1]

Glad you did Netanel, we wish Deni a bright future

[@northernlight1000]

[@serenaava.]

Deni has been playing awesome already!!! Deni and Melo are 2 of the 2 prospects for Rookie of the year. Both melo and Deni need to keep lifting weights and put muscle on. Deni is only 210 at 6'9, he should be 225-230lbs, Lebron is like 250-260lbs at 6'8

[@CourtsideTV1]

stay tuned for a video about the 2020 best rookies today

[@Lagolop]

You have to wonder; for such a tiny country, why Israel produces so many talented people in pretty much every possible endeavor.

[@CourtsideTV1]

Thats the question

[@israteeg752]

Actually, it's tiny in space only which is somewhat missleading. We have roughly a bit over nine millions citizens in the country, similar to Austria, Belarus, and Hungary. That is about in the middle of the pack as far as countries worldwide.

[@zivpenso3832]
