MORE Former NBA Studs Who Vanished! (Part 2) 

Cant hate for trying to secure a bag but topshot is trash bro.

TopShot is a bad investment bro

You should add Omer Asik, Greivis Vasquez, Anderson Varejao

A day ago I was wondering when Andys gonna make a video about how that silly digital collecting game is a pyramid scheme... Oh. Well okay. Then again. I would also take that ad money.

okay

L I love Mr Simmons. Wish he could have had a better career but oh well, take the money and run.

I really liked watching him play for the spurs

DA JUICE

Jonathon Simpson

Sad but true Phili probably though him and rose could of been like in Chicago Bulls I think Phil tried to pimp the Knicks.

Bro we are still paying him!!!!! I think this is the last year what a horrible decisions Phil and Steve mills man smh

@@cookingwitchefzayy8830 yep that sucks no at least your team and system is doom well under Tibbs.

Bro was great in Chicago. But after that, it was just straight finesse.

Sucks because I’m a big fan of Noah but everyone hates him because of his contract lol. Idk why people blame the players for contracts given to them.

bulls as #5 or #6 next year

As a Wizards fan God bless yall for taking him

I'm still surprised they took his contract in the first place.

@@dennischacko499 at least we got rid of him

I liked him with the Bulls. We had some good nights with him, outside of Zach

and He's playing in China i think

yeah also his coming up story was really cool too and then he just disappeared

As a big Spurs fan, I asked the same thing!

He is a one hell of a dunker, and I remember the time when he blocked Stephen Curry's layup in a chasedown block

@@forgottenson3411 i remember watching that live on my tv too lol

With chandler parsons

@@awarrick6516 atleast he tried to play but I think he had a big injury and hasn’t played since

🤣🤣🤣🤣

- and wiping away his tears with a Benjamin Kleenex.

i just clicked on the video and went to the comments, i’m guessing he was the biggest sacrifice cause the warriors wanted to be with curry more than monta, luckily for my warriors it ended up working since curry is just an nba all time great top 10-15 type of player

What do you mean sacrifice

@@GsnaGs basically they gave up on monta because they believed curry was there guy which worked out pretty good

@@crypticdifferent4900 no not top10-15

@@Woodstodaface yeah preeetty good😂

He’s a solid role player imo

I only remember him from his shaqin the fool 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@htownq3300 yeah you don’t watch nba at all

3&D is one of the more common playstyles now, not everyone can break out

Where he at now ? 😂😂😂

he also became the first rookie most improved player

I heard, his second year, he was elected to the hall of fame, and given a lifetime achievement award

this aged well he was so fundamental to the warriors they got rid of him

@@goten3965 yes and it didn't prove the smartest of the moves.

@@goten3965 they didn't get rid of him bro they signed him on a mega discount so when he had a bounce back year the warriors couldn't afford him. There's a difference

yeah, a small forward that can't shoot and stretch the floor, not really surprising

@@coldkillah4340 he doesnt even play sf a lot since he cant shoot. he normally plays pf and c;also undersize for that position. He's plays sf only when guarding a star forward

He sort of reminds me of Kenneth faried

@@artix003 yeah you're right, but I'd say he's more of a SF body wise but because he can't shoot he's often playing PF and in small-ball/run and gun lineups. The game changed alot from when he was drafted in 2015 till now. Even from when he averaged a career high 13 points. Nowadays if you don't bring a lot of value elsewhere, you're just a liability if you can't shoot. You better be a guy that brings elite rim-protection, or elite playmaking, can guard 1-5 at an extremely high level, great paint scorer, etc. Unfortunately RHJ is none of these but I think he can get minutes if he works on his jumpshot while bringing energy and hustle plays off the bench.

I remember warriors winning the championship in kd first year while simmons was barbecuing at home watching the finals .

@@FLORESBOY626 you mad 😹😹

If they would have had a better big man coach, that 4/5 rotation the Magic had for a couple years would have been devastating to the NBA. When they had DHoward, Gortat, Anderson, Shard and Brandon Bass, if that rotation was managed better, no one could have handled those teams. As the opposing team, it would be super difficult to go from figuring out how to defend lets say, Anderson/Howard, to then Shard/Howard or Gortat/Howard, or Bass/Gortat.... these duo's all function very differently and would require different types of defenders and sets to deal with them. A better big man coach would have created a situation like.... well, like what we saw with OKC and the Spurs in 2015, where Donovan simply outcoached Pop, with his big man rotations. The forward-center mixes he was throwing out there, where so versatile that by the time the Spurs adjusted to what they were doing, he would switch it up again. The Magic, could have done the same thing but while SVG is a good coach and not bad with big men, he is not a big man specialist nor did he have a unique view of how to run bigs, Donovan did and that's what they needed.

@@undergrounddojokeyboardcag701 You could also make a case that it was too much talent for only two positions and that all those players flourished later because they were given bigger roles, i.e. Gortat in Phoenix/Washington, Anderson in NOLA, and Bass in Boston. But to be fair, that Orlando team did not use all of their players to their full potential. J.J. Redick always comes to mind as someone who became a really good player after he left Orlando in 2012 or 2013.

@@iron3491 Well, that would simply be the argument that they'd never reach their statistical peaks. I think we see the same thing with JJ and JJ actually had a lot of developing to do when he entered the NBA. He really had to adjust his game to function in the NBA, because what he was doing coming out of college did not translate to the NBA. He definitely developed into that player with Orlando, the only real difference being (after moving on to the Clippers) he was given more of an offensive focus with the Clippers who also had less guard depth.

He was a good offensive rebounder. Eric Gordon honestly killed that team for years. Houston signed both tho so

I loved Anderson in 2k. Boy was a pick and pop bucket everytime

lool so true

😂😂😂😂

False Simmons still does everything great on both ends of the floor it’s literally just his shooting that needs work.

@@frostytoasty2220 lollll all he does is probably defence and Trae owned him 😂

@@frostytoasty2220 everything great?He can't even make a dunk in front of a 6'1 guard.

Fr when -Wilt Chamberlain Jr.- Porter was hooping on Washington he was expected to take a jump

He helped the Warriors win the 2022 NBA finals. He's a champ now.

A perfect fit for the warriors

Now up 3-2

Damn Otto porter won a mf ring

A couple of needed 3s down 10 or more and a 3 down 15 or 12 in Game 4 and Andrew Wiggins as a finisher and could shoot 3s. Please resign Wiggins and OPJ and Gary Payton II any one of them can help the bench except for Wiggins is a starter. Mark Jackson "Steve Kerr sending in Iguodala in which maybe the final game in his career"

Otto got a ring 4-2 warriors

he had a good spot with the wizards what are you talking about

And now he won a chip

Dem trumpets be clean!

“Films”

It was because quick guards and some wings would iso him a lot, that's why he did not play against the warriors during the playoffs

Ryan anderson is a huge defensive liability and dantoni shifted to playing more wings

Too slow D’Antoni likes players who can run up and down the court

Have you watched game 7?

@@3isthenew1 Oh dear God… 20 million dollars a year to sit on the bench for an entire season… Then when he’s finally called on in a game 7, 4 possessions, 4 ISOs, 4 3s from Steph… Morey was such an idiot thank God he chose to ruin another franchise…

Well right now he’s been good for the warriors.

sadly Tyreke really fits well in those tipe of videos

He was close until he got busted

The problem with Tyreke was his team. They kept playing him at SG/SF but he is at that time a big PG.

Him and Oj Mayo

Sacramento efect

Nah, DJ can still be a starting center or sixth man type of player, only problem is his mobility on the perimeter. Not taking his offensive game as a problem because he is not a main focus for teams

Nah noah fell off cause of injuries dj is jus getting old and losing his athleticism

I wonder what would have happened if he took that contract from I think it was Dallas

Noah reached higher heights and fell even deeper imo. People were chanting him "MVP" in 2013 lmao. And DeAndre's best acomplishment is being the 3rd best player on a loser team

Centres like DJ & Drummond, one dimensional and old school playing are obsolete now unfortunately.

Theoretically, you "own" the highlight or gif, meaning the official one is yours. Everything else is knockoffs. Think having actual picture of a big moment, rather than a reprint. Problem is, gifs aren't seen like photos or any physical media so I doubt the official ones hold any value after a few years

@@idk5916 But couldn't people just make their own highlights or gifs using the official broadcast footage themselves? Who creates the highlight/gif that turns around and gets traded/sold? What makes the "official" one official?

Comical.

Yeah he was really good when he played the problem was he just didn't play lol

bro what? Eric gordon was the 2nd best player on the rockets that year

@@andrebrown9311 still bruh

he was like nash except more scoring focused. he was good because his system allowed him to be good.

@@andrebrown9311 honestly man's never played like it 🤣🤣

@@SophiaElibaby rings

Yup agreed 100 percent and I dislike Georgetown as a team very much so. Dude is best suited as a fourth option on a good team. He does not seem to have the drive and aggression to score. In other words, he has got Ben Simmons-itis.

Agreed. He would have some nice shooting here and there but all in all, he was VERY inconsistent as a Wizard. His playoff performances was mediocre.

@@trigun442 exactly , left Beal and wall left to dry in that celtics series , so many playoff games where he acted like he didnt want the ball

@Kenneth Christian he would be a good fit for almost every team , jus as long as he aint got a max contract and he stays healthy , wizards paid him like he was an allstar or on his way to becoming one , if we had him on a vet minimum i wouldnt have cared

Almost all of the people on the list aren’t “studs”. Monta (yea) and Noah (defensively). Everyone else were role players on bad/good teams In my opinion .

Hes in Orlando tho. Injury and inconsistency made him trash now

@@lookintomyeyes2807 is Orlando the place where all the washed up promising players go?

36 is probably a lil to extreme but I definitely think it’s time the league expand at least to 32 teams

@@johndavis9321 32 is overdue imho, if the financial crash never happened it would've been the perfect response to superteams

Well if all the superstars are gonna team up on a handful of teams....why is expansion a good thing? That's why marginally talented young players are getting max contracts and are subsequently traded around shortly after signing. These players become handicaps for GMs who then have to trade them and a draft pick to tanking team to get them off the books.

I think it's better they do things like relegations....1) it's gonna help show case more players....2)with the play-in... competition round the league..teams competing for play off..play in and don't wanna go down which avoids tanking

@@kingcort8073 Honestly I think you're right in the long term but that's not a conversation most NBA fans are ready to have. Plus you'd have to build a second league out of basically nothing atm

Yeah I didn't know that happened to him. I feel for him.

Landry fields too

He’s doing just that for the warriors

He had bad mental health problems. He would come in to the Apple store in Chicago on Michigan Avenue act like he was gonna buy thousand dollars worth of product and then just put it back out this card declined

On god he was cold in 2k13

i think he got confused because they were traded for each other

I wish that but let's be real. There is no chance. He can't even find a team in Europe that's why he plays in Philippines now.
