Confession time: until the Xavier game, Denis was my favorite cat on the team.

Confession time part deux: after the Xavier game, Denis was still my favorite cat on that team. Jake made it a close race though.

I remember the first time I saw Denis.   I was up on the concourse of in the SEZ of BSFS near the funnel cake line (may have been turkey leg).  Anyway... I'm paying particular attention to Bill Walker, Michael Beasley, and I think Ron Anderson, who are approaching the line.  From about 20 feet away a little guys starts yelling in Beasley/Walker's direction and they stop. I look to see who it is.  I've never seen this person before but I realize it has to be Denis.  He talks for like 10 seconds and then just looks at the guys.  Walker looks at him for a while.  Looks at Beaz.  Shrugs his shoulders and they keep walking away from Denis.  Denis waits for a bit... then turns around and goes away in the opposite direction.  I'll never forget it.

and I'll NEVER forget.  "WALLLLEEEEE!!!!!"

His transition game is what I remember the most but watching that video reminds me of how much I loved him taking random 3 pointers from 2 ft behind the line. When he was on, those shots were a thing of beauty.

There's Denis parts in the PW video where if you didn't know better, you'd think the video was in fast forward.

That 09-10 team was the greatest combination of lovable characters and basketball we'll ever see.

Denis heat check 3s were fantastic.

I've noticed that sometimes Foster will take a heat check shot which I also like.

Those videos make us look better on O than we really were though.

I thought we were sloppy on offense with Martin and threw up some ridiculous weird shots at times.  We were more of a physical defensive team from my eye.

So very true.

Dom had some serious spring. Still sad he left. But man, was Denis fun to watch.

Yes, that offense wasn't pretty for basketball purists (okay shooting, too many turnovers), but we oboarded and FT rated the heck out of our opponents. It was great.

My buddy used to DJamer at Tubby's dance side and Denis would always come up in the booth and hang out with him. I'm trying to find this great picture of Denis in the DJamer booth wearing some gigantic elvis type sunglasses, its amazeballsadorables.
