@@august6281over the various podcast episodes i watched he acknowledges what he did wrong but he also made some great points. A lot of those workouts don't measure or even show what he could do on the court. His stories are hilarious tho
It worked out for him though. By being a second round pick he was able to sign a massive deal as a free agent years before he would've as a lottery pick
Yeah but they're not going to give him the complete recognition because he played mainly for Detroit and we all know that when it comes to giving Detroit ANY type of credit for ESPN, it's like pulling teeth!😬.. these fools just not start to give the Lions recognition and even STILL some aren't convinced lol.. but they know whatever is working for Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes must be doing pretty good because they see a progression since their arrival
Nick Van Exel. He was a steel for the Lakers when he was drafted 37th in the 2nd Rd in 1993. Nick was a NBA All-Star in 1998, spent 5 yrs with the Lakers, 4 with Denver Nuggets, and last 4 as a journeyman
Another honorable 2nd round mention that should be included also from the 1970 draft is Calvin Murphy. Before the younger Isaiah Thomas he at 5-9 was the best scorer among players 6-0 and under. He walked so IT, AI and others could run.
Jokic has reached the highest peak of any player in the 2000s, if he can keep it going for a few more years then he firmly puts himself in the goat convo.
Gil purposefully tanked his draft stock because if he was drafted in the 2nd round then his rookie contract would be shorter, and he could get a max quicker.
It goes to show that any player that entered the NBA draft has the chance to be great... It boils down to their commitment, passion and resilience to push through regardless of any setbacks that they have have at the beginning of their career.
The disrespect on The Joker is real considering this channel forgot to mention that he's also a world champion, Finals MVP, and led all in 3 major stats in this year's playoffs. 🃏💯
Remember in “Money Ball” when the old head recruiters were all SO hung up on jaw lines and good personalities that they couldn’t actually evaluate players effectively? That’s exactly how the NBA still works a lot of the time.
Joker can pass the ball like he has eyes in the back of his head, he can block, he can push his was way through a wall of Defenders and if his team can't score. He just does it himself and score even 3 pointers. No wonder he is a MVP in the finals.
@@alexmammoth2916 think he meant, whoever was their best player since Larry Bird, progression wise. So when IT was there Pierce wasn’t. So IT was the Celtics best player at the time.
Isaiah Thomas is a guy you put on your team if you have the chance. it was ridiculous how some teams treated him because of height. he was an absolute alpha
7:35 On the outside Michael is laughing. But on the inside, he took it personally. Something tells me this Kerr fellow might make a good coach someday.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
It’s not a crazy concept. The average NBA player is 6’7. So if you’re a big man who plays the 4/5 the whole game you actually are undersized. Draymond had perfect timing though. As basketball started becoming position-less Draymond started making a name for himself in the NBA
It's bullshit how they dont technically recognise that, he didn't win those stats because of games played, Joel played less but scored close to Trae so it works out as a higher PPG and he got the official scoring title.
Facts hell take a look at the 2013 NBA Draft Giannis for example (I know he got selected in the 1st round but I just want to prove that alot more all stars and Hall Of Famers are taken outside the the top 10 rather than being taken in the top 10)
Ginobili was great for national team of Argentina even before he was drafted , beating the powerhouse countries, but NBA teams where still skeptical of him that he ended up being picked 3rd from the last😂..
@@calamorta I disagree about the unnatural movement, you cam say Stocktom was in his landing area But I do agree om the second thing lol back then you went to play and that's it
Funny thing in NBA live 07 back when i was a kid i use to make a lot of created players that i made up, coincidence is I made a Marc Gasol without even knowing Pau had a brother and his name was mark still makes me feel wierd when i remember that lol
Manu wasn’t Spanish. He was Argentinian. Apart from that you got everything else about him right. Manu was also the only player who got his jersey retired.
It comes down to being able to put the ball in or the hoop or putting a team mate in a position to do so. Not how fast or how high you can jump. When you think about it ,the easiest shot to make in basketball is the dunk!! Spectacular but easy!! Remember ,most of these guys are giants!!God !I’d take Shack on any time on the fowl line😅.
