Former Ohio State basketball player scores his 4000th professional point
A former Ohio State basketball player has scored his 4000th professional point overseas.
The Ohio State basketball program had a lot of success during the Thad Matta era. He took the team to a national championship and multiple Final Fours. He had multiple NBA players on his teams. The Buckeyes had some of the best teams in history under Matta.
Back in Matta's era, the Buckeyes had a lot of guys play professionally. Other than the NBA guys that they had, they had plenty of other guys play overseas. Even some guys who you wouldn't think were going to be good enough to play professionally ended up playing for a salary.
One of those players is Amedo Della Valle. He played for the Ohio State Buckeyes for three years before deciding to go back home to Italy to play. He has been playing in Serie A, which is the highest level of basketball in the country. Della Valle has been playing great while over there.
Ex-Ohio State basketball player Amedo Della Valle scores his 4000th point
Della Valle recently scored his 4000th point in Serie A. He continues to play well at a high level. His high level of play is surprising, especially considering the fact that he wasn't even a normal part of the rotation for Ohio State. He has turned himself into quite the player.
Della Valle has had a lot of team success over the years. He has won a EuroCup Challenge and an LBA MVP. He has played on a lot of good teams. Della Valle clearly made the right choice to leave Ohio State early to go play professionally. He has made a lot of money.

Just sayin': Possibly, however, he'll never be #1;, that distinction goes to Mike Conley, Jr.
