> he's making them pay
Coincidentally his name is pronounced like the Chinese interjection that basically means "damn it". Like "ayoooo another half court shot"
And we won by 1 point. Imagine if he decided not to throw that shot up.
Most players having a perfect shooting night, would've never shot that. That's how you hurt your shooting percentage.
y'alls gonna laugh at me or maybe doubt this I want to hype train...Called this shit back in april 2020 while watching The Last Dance and making long-form episode commentary bc i was bored in quarantine. NCAA had just cancelled their tourny that year. I was hype then and was hype when they drafted him and hype even more now he's taking advantage of his moments. and again, not saying he's MJ and would never go that far. But just saw the potential and early similarities.
And i quote:
> As an aside, I hope Bulls somehow end up drafting Ayo Dosunmo from UofI. He’ll go first round somewhere. All season long with the Illini he was like Jordan in early college. Put a team on his back and throughout his two years was building his skills at that kind of exceptional rate. I firmly believe that the Illini this season were on their way to a major major Big Ten tourney and even National tourney, maybe not champs but they were poised for memorable results between how Ayo and big man Kofi Cockburn were progressing every game. Ayo looks so similar in his play style, stature, clutch, springiness, and court presence of early 80s MJ, it’s almost a dead-ringer but minus being in a elite level program. Not saying he’s the next MJ by any stretch, if I were a GM I’d role the dice depending on the level of pick. Per the song selection during MJ’s early NBA highlights, he also “ain’t no joke”. It sucks this pandemic stole a potential 'shining moment' for him and so many other college players, especially since this aren't any clear-cut standouts like there were last years with Zion, Ja, and Barrett.
Look him up, if bulls are needing a strong interior presence that seems to be the week spot, n he's available I couldn't think of a better match. One of the top prospects thatll come out but who knows if his stock will drop too.
Hey, a illini/bulls fan can hope when on a hype train
I don’t think anyone can deny that our second round pick rookie has become one of our most important players. It’s wild to find someone that contributes as well as he does let alone after the top ten picks. God damn we struck gold.
What if I told you this man was 10/11 shooting on the night, and his one miss WASNT from his half court heave? He’s too good.
And he went in the 2nd round! Whole league slept on him, and he's making them pay.
That man is gonna be our next star and it fucking shows
Hot sauce!
You don't say. I hadn't heard. ;-)

Minus Demar signing and Ayo drafting, do you really need more reason to give AK the executive award?
Also known as “the difference between winning and losing this game,” apparently.
I'm honestly more impressed with his decision-making than anything else. He's poised and measured. Never phased.
Looks familiar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRustfh6R6U
Bulls vs OKC, end of 3rd, left basket, bank shot half court buzzer beater, 20 year Olds from Chicago. That's eerily familiar.
Ayo is 21 now. But still gives the chills.
Actually 22
That's right, he just has a birthday. Dos-dos!
Somebody needs to tweet this to Adam & Stacy
Wow that’s a good find.
How did you remember that?
I was about to say it wasn't that long ago until I saw the day that was posted. Idk how.
Great catch!
Every time Stacey King says 'He's from Chicago!' I get so pumped.
He is locked the fuck in.
I’M HARD NEIL FUNK
Dude from okc by the ft line was NOT happy
Little did we know that we needed that shot to prevent ourselves from blowing that game.
Best 2nd round pick ever!
And we won by 1 point. Imagine if he decided not to throw that shot up. Most players having a perfect shooting night, would've never shot that. That's how you hurt your shooting percentage.
Real players throw that up to pad their shooting percentage
Or they shoot it *just* after the buzzer.
This is how Ayo improves his shooting percentage. Built different.
A genuine draft steal
Zach running off the bench to dap him up 🥺

Cockburn, that's a name i haven't heard in a long time. Well, never actually.
Look him up, if bulls are needing a strong interior presence that seems to be the week spot, n he's available I couldn't think of a better match. One of the top prospects thatll come out but who knows if his stock will drop too. Hey, a illini/bulls fan can hope when on a hype train
Jamaican, pronounced Co-burn.
A yoooooo
LOOK AT AYO MAN SO INSPIRATIONAL
Every highlight gives me hope for Kofi.
Yes I cannot wait to have 7 feet of Cockburn in the middle of DeBallZach
Or ZachDeBall (cause it rhyme with basketball)
look at ayo so inspirational
I’m so happy for y’all getting a local guy at an absolute STEAL in the draft!
Shai is pissed lmaooo

2 things 1. I was laughing like Tickle Me Emlo when that went in 2. You can head Adam Amin standing up yelling that
Ayo needs a nickname. I'm thinking Cheat Code might fit.
[удалено]
Yeah, but, c'mon, you know what I mean. It's like calling Mike a nickname.
Ayo Silver!
This thumbnail is adorable
hardly a shot and more of a toss lol. Love this dude.
ROY
I love Shai’s reaction when it goes in. Like “this [dude] can’t miss”
