DLo: Being publicly humiliated has made me an on-court "killer"

HotRocks34 · Post #1 » by **HotRocks34** » Sat Mar 9, 2024 5:08 pm

Super DLo deserves to say whatever he wants after that monster performance against the Bucks.

"Off the floor, obviously you all know what I've been through. Public humiliation has done nothing but mold me into the killer that you all see today. I never lack confidence. I never fear confrontation. I want all the smoke. ... I just feel confident in what I bring to the basketball game, so whatever room I walk in, I'm confident."

Swaggy P would contend he is an off-court killer too

What has he been threw off the court that he’s referring to?

The Swaggy P thing when he was a rookie?

Yeah I’d imagine.

I also recall when he was traded to Brooklyn and Magic said “we need leaders and guys people want to play with”.

That was pretty savage.

Thats why someone like Reaves is far more valuable. Not sure why he took such a large paycut.

Athletes read the s*** we say about them on socials. Maybe not all of it unless they're Kevin Durant, but a guy like DLo certainly knows how much people make fun of him on the internet.

Can a "killer" be leading his team to a 9-10 seed?

Kid is always disrespected and scapegoated. How many times we have heard how LeGM with trade him and how he is Lakers problem, it happened all the time. I do not really like his game at this point, but he is fine, he definitely gets crapped on way too much than he should.

True, and overconfidence can hurt player's game, but what kills the player, is not having confidence. Better be overconfident than other way around. Man has the right mindset IMO.

A "killer?" That's a bit much. He's... okay, and he's certainly shooting very well from 3, but that's pretty excessive.

You guys are being too critical. He said this after a game where he scored 44 points in a win. At least let him talk his sh*t for 12 hours lol.

D Lo was the first player I saw use the "ice in my veins" taunt. I swear he originated it.

Oh, you mean the actual pose that well all nutters on TikTok.

For a second, I was like "are you 15?" xD Nope, I'm just old. Very good, then.

There was no way he didn't see people on Twitter constantly yapping about wanting to trade him all December long.

I thought it was a good thing for players to be confident in themselves? Is that not what we want?

I guess they can't all be killers leading their teams to a mighty 8th seed? lol

Man some of y’all are no fun. Let the man have his flowers. He’s been playing great and had a monster game against a very good team.
