In this video, we look at Dante’s early career with the Utah Jazz, his move to Europe & the time he got bodyslammed in the EuroLeague playoffs during a Partizan Belgrade - Real Madrid series.

I saw one of ur tweets (from personal account) about some guy who misses a Russian player in Euroleague and how one of u three said something in lines of like u can't miss that player since all russians caused the war. You really believe that players should be ousted out of league? How many times should have USA or for that matter many other countries be ousted? That was very dunb stance. Edit: I just searched and Rytis was the one. So I have decided to dislike your videos from now on. Until i feel satisfied emotionally

[@markot4616]

Dante getting the news that he is going to become a father on the court after winning the regional ABA league is one of my favourite moments ever

[@stefanzlaticanin2083]

Not news. Just the baba gender. They knew they are expexting already

[@ozberkoz]

I cannot still believe Yabusele is allowed to play basketball in Euroleague after he body slammed Exum.

[@Seaby41]

You'd imagine the league would have taken a stronger view. What happens when Yabusele does it again? The league has a certain duty of care there don't they? If he did it on the street he'd have some very big problems I don't know why you can get away with this if it's professional sports where you do it.

[@djolek85]

you know I have thought of the same from a very beginning. What picture did euroleague sent to kinds watching TV - get violent and spend 3 days at home until you are free to do it again? I mean the player got injured - so this is has had an impact on the gameplay in the end and had nothing to do with a game rules... weird world we are living in I am afraid.

[@stevanobivan]

and what is worse, for me anyway, he did it from the back....if it were face to face, it would not be the same for sure.

[@pierrebayle619]

It's totally mind blowing given how dangerously he acted and the injury to Exum

[@kapal611]

F!@# Yabusele man, shouldve been banned for a year for that shit

[@Spectrum1v4]

R.I.P. Cecil, we liked that guy so much, he was with us on every game, and he was not there only on home games, he was going to away games too! :) We were saying that we started wining away games just bcs of him. xD And when they returned from Madrid we were chearing for his dad too, he was so confused lol, then he pulled his phone out to record it, such a nice moment and lovely guy. So as Dante, Dante gave his heart for our club , and he got the same from us! One love to Exum family!

[@ankadumic8350]

I still can not believe a player like Dante Exum played for my club PARTIZAN and did what he did to win us back the title we have been waiting for 8 years. So sad he couldnt stay to win us back the title we wait for over 30 years and that is euroleage title, but so happy for him doing great in NBA!! Partizan is huge in Europe but Dante is gonna be huge worldwide and i wish him nothing but the best!! blacknwhite family forever!! Bilo je to slatko, ljuto, kiselo!!!

[@user-bo9nr6me6r]

Partizan ❤ is something special in the basketball world. There we have lessons of love and bonding with crowd that fanatically support players. Players feel like Spartans soldiers and game is more important then life. Only dignity is more important then game...

[@boza5684]

I watched a video the other day about Exum and his arrival in Dallas. Kudos to the Dallas GM for finding him and bringing him back to life. According to them, the fact that he was coached by one of the best coaches in the world for a year has nothing to do with the fact that he now. Kudos to them for their modesty.

[@MarkoMesic-vz4gk]

Partizan and best coach in the world Željko Obradović.

[@kingjasko]

i still remember the pessimistic comments on mavs subreddit when his signing was announced :DD everyone who said good things about him, who watched euroleague was getting downvoted, shit was funny, now they consider him a top5 player on the team, obviously deserved, he has a very high IQ now (thanks to željko obradović mostly, i'd say) and he can do really well alongside Luka and Kyrie. Good on him!

[@Smido83]

Who is here after Exum made the game tying buzzer beater against the Rockets? This man will be our X factor come PO time. We really need him to go far. So glad he plays for my Mavs. Hopefully for many years to come.

[@srpskivitez3]

Dante our brother ⚫️⚪️🇷🇸❤️

[@user-bo9nr6me6r]

PARTIZAN ❤ is something different in the world of Basketball. They have love lessons and bonding with the crowd that are fanatically support them. Players play there like Spartan soldiers, game is more important then life. But dignity is even more important then game.

[@mireilledavidson9427]

Great story and thank you for sharing it. When a person knows more about the players not only does it humanise them but you root for them even if they're not on your team. It allows us to appreciate them a lot more. I appreciate you and your channel. Thank you.

[@volimdudatisise]

Dante was playing pg and should've played point guard his entire career, so don't be dumb. Under Željko he blossomed to an elite slashing and defensive point guard. Its his natural position and thats why he came to Partizan so he could have more freedom as a pg and sg on offense

[@InfiniteVibes888]

thanks for this video, very interesting to see the European journey of Exum, and kinda surreal to just see this perspective!

[@limesinfinity6864]

Dante is grobar! Black and white family! Do not forget his defense plays in Partizan, I loved watching him, and hope he comes back 🖤

[@gian323]

Love these NBA players benefitting from the Euroleague. Hope to see more!

[@StevanIlic-mz5ih]

Dante, we love you 🤍🖤 Partizan!

[@humansareweird2866]

Props to him,people were excited to see how Vezenkov and Micic would do in the NBA, but they've both hit rock bottom while he's the one to make it even though he received criticism in his first NBA season.The others are reminiscent of the Spanoulis case.

[@NunoVippan]

Hence, this is easy. Vezenkov and Micic should join Partizan for a year or two and they'll be back on track for NBA contracts and good recognition, while we will be on track to win it all. 🤝

[@humansareweird2866]

@@NunoVippan I see your point but I'd be unfair to the other Euroleague teams :)

[@uninformedformer5256]

Tnx for video brate!!! Also favorite part is that last part!

[@axelaznar5475]

Draymond green vs yabusele for the next ufc

[@Mrjvc163]

JKidd absolutely adores Exum. He even said that he’ll start him together with Kyrie so that puts Luka at the 3 on defense.

[@Smido83]

Luka allways plays the 3 (sometimes even 4) on defense.

[@luurchify]

As an Aussie, watching Dante play makes me proud.

[@akalapov]

Maan huge props to Dante Exum. Such a tough journey.. Respect!

[@artuurs1]

when commentator in brawl says "we knew its gona happen sooner or later" shows how euroleague is competitive and fun

[@Rebanal]

As a Real Madrid fan, I'm sorry for what GY did to him. Good luck, good player.

[@Zirmas]

Great story, great man.

[@bogdanperovic2568]

Cecil🖤🤍

[@paskeviciusss]

just quick off topic input: i said on BN post(s) after Partizan x Madrid feud right away "god forbid this altercation turns into Madrid's favour", u know the rest. i appreciate Madrid as an organization and their will to win but just as much i can't accept the dirty culture they exhibit and/or accept. just look at Pepe in football and you'll find Rudy and the rest in basketball. Exum was Exeumberent and we all know who suppose to win the series. peace

[@superdudeant9775]

great video man

[@miguelrodriguez5590]

Incredible, saw him play in Barcelona 2 years ago and it didn`t seem that he could come back to NBA level to be honest but maybe I just saw a bad game of him (besides his injuries oc). Good for him!

[@Seaby41]

Looking forward to Partizan Exum showing up in the NBA. (especially the hammering dunks on everyone but) I'm not sure we are going to see it as long as he is alongside Doncic... Don't think you will see much from anybody as long as they are alongside Doncic.

[@web.clips_yt]

Should do a video about fontecchio

[@user-mc2fh1cw2v]

Dante Exum ⚪️⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️

[@rgc1033]

Great comeback story but the fact he made more three's in euroleague isn't surprising. The line is a bit closer and the defenders aren't quite as long and athletic.

[@Linksmakalnietis]

Upcoming video "Basketball players after stint in Overseas went back to NBA" and had/have quite(?) good seasons"? Examples: Anthony Parker Linas Kleiza Dante Exum P.J Tucker Lance Stephenson Andrei Kirilenko (?) Sergio Rodriguez(?) Want to include Royce O'Neale and Anthony Gill but both didn't played in NBA after NCAA. Anyone have something to add in this list?

[@alphaomega9511]

Even us, Partizan fans doubted when he signed... We were like this fat ass guy with injuries list long as toalet paper is going to be our starting PG?! Rest is history...

[@yanku33]

funny how NBA recruits all the young talents from Euroleague, and then Euroleague recruits all the veterans from NBA.

[@zombievikinggaming4258]

Ben Simmons should've been kicked out of the NBA years ago to craft his game in Europe too

[@kingjasko]

10:00 i think you've made a mistake there @basketnews

[@BasketNews_com]

Yeah, our bad, should’ve been 4.7 PTS & 10.5 MIN

[@cobrallama6236]

Exum was actually one of the least bad NBA voice actors in 2K15. 😂

[@nemanjadjordjevic7780]

🖤

[@knighheart06]

Ngl there's a lot of good players in Euro League. But in today's NBA Business sometimes it's only favored to some players. Unless the teams expansion would happen soon like Las Vegas and Seattle. Probably, they will open an opportunity for other really good players abroad which ofcourse with a deseve salary.

[@simojovic6358]

RIP Cecil

[@RD-yw2im]

Why is exum still in the league

[@radinDju]

Great Story REASPECT for everythink you made on this vidio1!!Peace.

Welp. Some peoples bodies arent built to handle nba play long term. Looks like hes one of them.. its unfortunate
