Just saw on Bleacher Report Delly has been added to the Rising Stars game. Pretty good news for him! Will be interesting to watch!

He was unlucky not to be selected initially just based on team balance. The only reason he wouldn't get playing time is they go exclusively for isolation basketball. Easily the best floor-general on the World team.

Awesome news and definitely well earnt. I notice all the haters have turned the volume down lately. Hope they're having a feast on their own words.

Oh FFS, can we please have a thread about an Australian doing well without someone asking where the haters are now? It's tiresome and pathetic.

Yeah the haters thing is so boring. Not everyones opinion is always going to be glowing of a player. Deal with it!
Dellavedova doesn't get any hate on this site... He's white remember

Just as tiresome and pathetic as it is when anytime a thread about an aussie player doing well comes up, people have to bag the shit out of them and say that they're useless.
I struggle to fathom how anyone could bag Dellavedova. Clearly they don't understand the game.
1 fathom = 1.8288 metres
Dellavedova is taller then 1 fathom.

Thank goodness the majority of the basketball world don't agree with the stupid statements made by people who obviously do not know jack Sh!t about basketball. Delay has proven over and lever again he is a worthy contender for the term superstar

He's Aussie, he's smart, he's unselfish, he's competitive, he works his butt off, and he makes the most of what he's got.
Sure, he's not going to dunk, but there's a lot more to the game than a flashy dunk. Sure, he has problems guarding the stud guards, but so does the rest of the NBA.
To me, he shows all the positive Aussie characteristics that I love to see.
Good on ya, mate - you make me proud that you're representing us !

Delly deserves the opportunity!
Matty has been averaging 4.3 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists so far this season, and is currently second on the team for three-point accuracy (41.1% on 2.3 attempts) behind Kyrie Irving.
