4 Potential Stars Who Were BANNED FROM THE NBA 

Connie Hawkins’ story is actually nuts. Never heard of it till now, thanks for an awesome history lesson!

With McCants I get it. He's on Gilbert arenas show. He's emotional, makes poor arguments, has a victim mentality, blames everyone else and makes excuses. For him to not acknowledge his mistakes that contributed to his short career says it all.

I'm also BANNED from my local 7-11 for being a Slurpee Superstar

Damn they did Connie dirty

why banned stars would've BROKE THE NBA

1996 NBA Finals? Do you mean the 93 Finals? Dumas played for Phoenix. Chicago & Phoenix played each other in 93.

A friend of mine who was an all city ball player for Erasmus back in the 60’s played against Hawkins and said he was an absolute freak. His dunking skills were legendary in NYC.

you need to add to your story that Rashad was black balled not because the locker room didn't like him, but because he exposed the UNC scandal. He named Roy Williams and specific players that underwent illegal recruiting and academic programs; such as never attending a class and receiving an A. The league and big NCAA connections then led an effort to disparage his attitude character.

i was banned from the nba, they said i had too much sauce

Wish my boy Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf was mentioned. Blackballed by the league back in the late 90s. Would have become one of the all-time greats I think.

I heard Mike was banned from the NBA for being too good

They were BANNED because they were GOING to BREAK THE NBA!

I'm surprised Roy Tarpley wasn't included in this list.

9:20 the fact is not true... Richardson did lead the league in assists and steals in 1980 but in 1976 Slick Watts did the same thing... so not the first one

Prayers for the still suffering addict 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I played with Richard Dumas and the dude was WAY past it but the skills were still there. The "Doom Boom" is what we called it when he dunked. He is a great dude no matter what!

2:07 That is actually the 1993 Finals.

Connie Hawkins was the original human highlight film... He was AWESOME!!

Roy Tarpley, Mitchell Wiggins, John Drew, Chris Washburn

mahmoud abdul-rauf???

Connie Hawkins looked 7 feet 2, but he is 6-8/210 haha

Keep up the great videos Mike! You're a legend!

your channel and videos are amazing. i'm 110% addicted

Cocaine is a helluva drug

4 BANNED Potential stars that BROKE THE NBA!

McCants nearly ruined the great UNC squad he was on in college. Somehow, the coaches did get him to be a team player for his junior year and UNC won the title in 05. But I guess he went back to his old ways immediately after winning the championship.

For anyone who reads this. Have a blessed day. I love you all.

So I have a great Rashad Mccants story. So UNC won the 05-06 national championship game and i was blessed to go to the event in Illinois. Well the next day we pull up to our gate to leave for home when low and behold the UNC team walks up and they asked people if they could give up there seats and take the next flight so they could get back to chapel thrill and air tran gave perks obviously. Being die hard tarheels my family and I were happy to give up our seats. So while waiting to board I took the chance to go meet and get autographs from my heros like sean may and raymond felton and my favorite player was Mccants(I had his 32 jersey on as well) so i get everythings john handcock when i come up to Mccants sitting there with his headphones on, me being a star struck 11 year old i started trying to converse with him and asked him for his autograph...after a few "Mr Mccants sir, may i have your autograph", he takes his hat off from covering his eyes and looks at me and goes what the fuck do you want, then grabbed my hat and scribbled all over it and told me dont ever fuck with him again(Im using F bombs due to him really cussing me out) so i left that day hating his guts with a hat that had the teams signatures minus rashad because he literally scribbled back and forth lines which messed up other autographs...so long story short, this guy was a really rude selfish dude

Do a vid on Demar. He's got a crazy story

I really thought the title said "These guys were supposed to be steph curry with a 40 inch vertical!

Yo Mike your getting buff! 😂 I watched a video from last summer... 😂😂😂

Mike your videos me so much shit that I didn’t even know about. I appreciate for that. Keep up the good work👍🏼

Richardson looks amazing. If bird said that, it’s true.

Scal was banned for being to good but he got it lifted cause the NBA would lose revenue if he wasn't allowed to play.

Bro I luv ur channel keep grinding bro

I've put all of my friends on to this channel bruh, you da best

Rashad was blackballed over telling the truth about North Carolina

Doomus retired under his own terms, he didn’t get banned

Great video. That background music never gets old, lol.

Always good content... Awesome 💯

2:11 1993 Finals, love your vids though Mike 👍👍

May God Bless them all and you all and your families🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️

Mike talks like that sponge bob meme with the lower and uppercase letters lol

Thanks for that plug at the end Mike, but don't forget to add that if someone is already caught in a drug/alcohol/gambling et al addiction there is help. Programs for it seem strange but the problem is a strange one. Solutions come in forms that can be difficult to understand, but they are real.

5 clickbait titles that BROKE RU-vid!

69 reasons why MIKE KORZEMBA IS THE GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYER EVER

Mannnn you are great, love your ability to tell basketball stories brahh

Excellent message. Well done video.

These 4 players were banned because they could’ve *BROKEN THE NBA*

Mike is the better Mike. Even though the other one is classified as the greatest NBA player of all time

It time for a WHAT IF, Mikey Klondikes

Good stuff man.

Connie Hawkins would have been a hall of fame player. Those highlights were awesome

M Korzemba> M Jordan

awesome vid dude

Great vid

OJ Mayo ?

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

Great video!

Chris herren from fall river, MA spoke at my high school years ago about his journey to the nba and struggles with drugs. It was an amazing speech and really moved me. If you are struggling with addiction, dont be embarrassed to seek help, people will want to help you.

You mean the 93 finals suns vs the bulls

“Against Scottie Pippen and the Chicago Bulls” I guess Jordan didn’t exist

I like this dudes videos........there jam packed and informative

Michael Ray was a miniature Magic Johnson

2:10 was not 1996 finals. The 96 finals was Chicago vs Seattle

How was Richard Dumas banned from the NBA? Suspended yeah but never banned.

Love your video Korzemba

I came here to see why McCants is such an asshole on Gilbert Arenas show 😂

Where was O.J. Mayo!?!

2:11 wait...didnt the suns make the finals in the 1993 finals? Im sure 1996 was between sonics and bulls

I know this has nothing to do with the video, but Dr. Phil blocked me on Twitter yesterday for calling him a “Big Orange Dady”.

Look into Anthony Cade who played at oak hill 92. He went for 40+ and didn’t miss a shot. Also went perfect from free throw line.

Dang

Mike goatzemba

Great message

Hey Mike do you play ball behid that ring?

Ty Lawson?? OJ Mayo??

Hey Mike, how about a video on Shawn Kemp's career.

What about bill spivey? Connie hawkins was banned but he had a good career anyways. Spivey was also accused of point shaving and never played in the nba. He was a solid player in other pro leagues, and some say he was a chamberlain before chmberlain!

I heard your voice when I read that caption lol

Mike is W O K E

Brian scalabrine was banned from the NBA because of too many made shots from the half court, also his illegal fade away (his fade away was banned because it looked inhumane)

I remember Richard Dumas, he was a bad boi! One of my favorite players

McCants was a beast at North Carolina I just knew he'd be special in the NBA I had no idea that he had behavioral issues

suns and bulls played in the 1993 finals

The NBA was SCARED of these players

You know your a good RU-vidr when the RU-vid auto captions are correct

TOP 5 SPONGEBOB CHARACTERS WHO ALMOST BROKE SPONGEBOB

Hall of famerrr. ALL TIME. The grEATEST. That’s a sample of Mike’s talking.

Where tf is arenas?!!

Mike Korzemba could make ME look like an NBA superstar with the way he talks.

Michael Ray looked like a beast...would've been interesting to see what he would've amounted to in the NBA with all the greats.

Rashad McCant make it in the NBA
