RIP Big Guy 💔

[Degenerate75 @TheDegenerate75]

I’m sorry to share that James passed on Sunday, May 18, 2025.

If you’ve been around the DFS world for any length of time, chances are you crossed paths with James. With his sharp takes, contagious energy, or the genuine way he connected with people.

Growing the DFS industry and including everyone (even the guy in the back) was his true passion. He was community-driven, unfiltered, and always real. A true 1 of 1 person. His worst fear was letting everyone down, and even during the worst of days he would grin and bear it to keep that promise to himself.

I also want to include this message from his wife to all of you.

"Thank you to everyone that sent messages of encouragement to Degen during his ordeal. Your kind words, prayers, and good vibes meant more to him than anyone truly knew. My sincerest gratitude to all of you for making him feel loved and supported."

For now, we’d love to hear your stories, memories, and anything else you’d like to share in his honor.

He meant so much to all us and I know we’ll all miss him dearly, Thank you.

Hard to believe it’s already been a year since we all lost @TheDegenerate75…James…The Big Guy…

Think about him often and miss him a lot. 💔

Miss his passion, grit, positivity, energy, jokes, nicknames, one-liners and so much more!

Thinking about yesterday and how he would’ve just laughed seeing Aaron “Pumpernickel” Rai aka “2 Gloves” get the job done for a Major, while rattling off those classic nicknames and some rant about iron covers. 😂

At least some of us made a few bucks on it, so we can still afford to feed the guy in the back! 🥣

Speaking of feeding the guy in the back, we’ve been doing our best to honor James’ legacy through @ShipItNation and we’ve got some really BIG news coming soon around the “Big Guy” event we’ve been working on…

We truly think the entire DFS community is going to love what we’ve got planned for the Big Guy! 👀

James was all about bringing people together and always made everyone feel welcome. We plan to do exactly that. Full details coming soon.

For now, we’ll continue to pass along his important advice to all…

“Good luck, have fun and remember to never take these weeks for granted!”

To our Big Guy in the sky…🌝

The true 1 of 1…🐐

Gone, but never forgotten! 🙏

Wemby is so soft. He’s just a giant SGA

[Bill Fay @DollaBill808]

@johnkriesel I can’t count the number of times I’ve said “noooo” when they start a shot… not playing smart

[Bill Fay @DollaBill808]

Jaylen Clark should play at least 20 minutes every game #WolvesBack

[Land of Lowlights @LoLowlights]

The MAJORITY of Wemby’s 12 blocks in Game 1 were either uncalled fouls or goaltends.

HISTORICAL NIGHT…for the refs 😭

[Bill Fay @DollaBill808]

This game is unreal #MNwild

[Bill Fay @DollaBill808]

There should be a bounty on Rantanen

[Kendrick Perkins @KendrickPerkins]

I don’t care if Jaden McDaniels have another good game in this series because what he did last night after addressing the Nuggets like the numbers on a house is the most gangsta thing I’ve seen this season.

[Bill Fay @DollaBill808]

What a freaking half

[Bill Fay @DollaBill808]

Electric first half. Keep the pedal down

[Bill Fay @DollaBill808]

Jaden was right
