Wei Jie Desmond Oh (born 16 June 1986) is a Singaporeanbasketball player who plays for theSingapore Slingers of theASEAN Basketball League (ABL). He is known in the ABL for being one of the league's best lock-down perimeter defender and his ability to hit the three ball. With his pesky defense, he is better known as "D-glove" on the court.[1]
Desmond Oh's professional basketball career started in 2008 when he played a few games with theSingapore Slingers while the team was competing in the 2008/09 Singapore Challenge Series.
In August 2009, Oh signed a one-year contract to play for theSingapore Slingers along with 7 other local players.[2] As a raw young talent, his role consisted mainly of shutting down opposing team's guards. Then, he earned his nickname, "D-glove".
On 1 September 2010, Oh was one of four local players brought back to play with the team from the previous season.[3] Oh was given a bigger role in the second ABL season when local starHong Wei Jian went down with a career-ending injury during a local Division One basketball game. He averaged 3.6 points and a career best 0.89 steals that season.
For the 2011-2012 Asean Basketball League season, Desmond, together withWong Wei Long andShengyu Lim, were the first trio of Singaporeans that renewed their contracts with the Slingers on 29 November 2011.[4] He went on to average career-highs in minutes, points, rebounds, assists, three-point field goals and steals for the 2012 Asean Basketball League season. Oh's best game came on 18 January 2012 when he scored a career-high of 16 points against the Chang Thailand Slammers, a game that the Slingers went on to win.[5]
Oh was selected as a special ABL import with theWestports Malaysia Dragons against a US Professional Basketball Alumni team, bannered by former NBA Stars Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Mitch Richmond, and Dennis 'The Worm' Rodman, on 17 July 2012.[6]
On 10 December 2012, Oh re-signed with the Slingers for his fourth straight season for the 2013 Asean Basketball League season.[7]
