Donte DiVincenzo really has had an all-time great basketball career, from an overall standpoint. The dude is a Philadelphia area legend and East coast legend as a whole at this point. He has accomplished a lot. If he retired tomorrow DiVincenzo's name will be remembered.
He is from northern Delaware just about forty-five minutes away from Philly and in high school he led his team to back to back state championships. Delaware may not be a large state but it's fairly densely populated and he did do it twice, which is pretty great. He then went to Villanova, a Philadelphia area college and he won two National Championships while there! He was the Final Four Most Outstanding Player in 2018!
As a pro, Donte is not exactly a superstar but he has absolutely established himself as a more than capable professional, averaging over twenty-five minutes a night for pretty much seven years now in the NBA. And oh yeah, he's got himself an NBA ring as well after winning the championship as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks.
DiVincenzo is truly a champion in every sense of the word.
As a member of the Knicks last season, DiVincenzo played in the most games he ever has as a pro, appearing in 81 and overall had the best season of his career and the team made the playoffs. DiVincenzo really made his mark in the mid-Atlantic/Northeast region of the US finding notable basketball success in Delaware, Pennsylvania and New York!
I'm certainly a fan, so I'm pretty glad to own this card of Donte while he was a Buck. Donte has some pretty cool nicknames too, like the 'Big Ragu' and 'The Michael Jordan of Delaware'.
On February 25th, four years ago today, DiVincenzo scored his career high in points as a Buck when he dropped 24 against the Pelicans. Here are the highlights of that game:
