Sad Picture

Written by: hilltopper91@gmail.com (Kevin Buckley (Hilltopper))

I was looking through my MU game photos .. I get too depressed after losses to post pictures.

Saw this one and immediately recognized its significance.

Let's call it:  "DJ's Last Shot"

DJ's shot was pure for 3.

50 seconds later, he left the game, ending his Warrior career.

THank you for sharing, but I view it as DJ going out on top.

wouldn't it be cool if DJames picks "28" as his number if he winds up in the NBA? (#1 is a fairly common number that I think may be hard for a rookie to get right away).... would be kind of symbolic... picking up right where he left off....

Eh...the ball probably didn't go in until 27 though

How about 1658? 

Seriously, he broke his foot, he didn't lose a leg.  DJ will be just fine. 

I'm sure Diener doesn't care about the day he punched that dummy now.

silly MUSF... you can only have 2 numbers on a jersey and of course he didn't lose his leg.... if he did, he wouldn't be able to come back

When DJ made that shot I remember thinking to myself "oh no, please don't let this encourage another 1 for 9 debacle on 3-pointers from him", and then before I knew it he was out of the game.  What I wouldn't give to have him in the game now, chucking up 3's or not

FYI...Diener broke his hand falling over at a party, NOT at practice. I was there...

I had the same reaction. I vividly remember going "no, no, no, no...YES"

DJ had a knack for making us do that....taking bad shots that more often than not did not go in...but he did have some clutch jumpers down the stretch. Right now I would gladly trade in his shot selection for his defense and playmaking abilities as a PG.

Is that right?? Always wondered what the real story was. If true, he paid a high price for being out partying. Cost the team too.
