JR Smith has a nasty 43 off the bench vs Chicago when he was on Denver OMG the points was loud but they lost I think
Then goes 0-12 next game how tf that happen
Legit 50 ball. They were in the game til the end
The crazy thing is I'm sure he be cooking like this every practice but NBA politics keeps him off the floor.
Tuff
FLYNNSANITY
playing like his career depends on it
He's trying to get that bread next year…he is actually getting a chance..
He plays like austin rivers lol..
This guy need to be in clippers
SLEEPY FLYNN!!!
Chandler Parsons types of shi
San Diego state represent!
Knicks should of kept him. He looks to be in the same mold as Donte DiVincenzo
when 2k coach finally puts your myplayer in:
blague griffin
This man now has a higher career high than Dennis Schröder that’s crazy
I'm glad maybe now I can sell the shitty basketball cards of his I bought before .
And still losses the game
Apparently he won the halftime contest the game before, and the prize was he'd get to play the next game. The Detroit Tropics are doing god's work.
👀
FLYNN-sanity
He needed the ball to have a game like that and the pistons aren’t going to give him chances like that
So what will his 2k rating change to?
As a raptor fan it’s so good to see him thrive
Bro got a 50 point game before shai 💀
Bro turn on Prime MJ 😂
Beautiful display of basketball skills 🙂
Bros 2k rating def going up
A fitty piece off da bench 😂
Nice to see him put it all together. Reward for grinding
Who da fook is dat guy
It wasn’t a flashy 50 piece but a 50 piece is a 50 piece in the NBA 🔥🔥🔥
There’s no way these cringe ass names are real. Malachi Flynn??? 😂
Funny how couch potatoes hating on flynn. Lol scoring 50 in an nba game whatever the circumstances is hard. Some dont even make a gleague team.
malachi flynn = nba version of matt flynn on jan 1 2012. a player worth a 7th round pick being presented as a world beater for draft capital purposes.
Evil donte
Lets go man !!!
Flynnsanity
I like this kind of 50 point game, efficient and they needed every point. KD-like, not Kobe because he would've taken more shots and the besides the W.
