Players Who WASTED Their Careers On BAD Teams 

did you see him play or just watching youtube highlights?

@@Gnofg numbers like that don't need highlights.. They speak for themselves..

Yea he was a beast! Sucks his knees were shot to shit by the time he teamed up with Larry Bird :/ Rip Pistol Pete!

No shot clock either

@@Gnofg are you 50 years old or just younger than that?! Go play pickup don’t shoot 3s and see how long it takes to drop 44. Now imagine someone doing that against the best college players in the world when they all know he’s a scorer. “BuT yOu OnLy wAtChEd HiS HiGhLiGhTs!!!!! 😡”

You should be on this list

@@forgottenson3411 well but its true, he's not being sarcastic, the video title said players who wasted their career on a bad team, I didn't say Trail Blazers is bad, it just Lillard career didn't going anywhere when he with the Blazers, so it such a waste of a talent

Ong

U don’t no nothing about sports if u say lillard

@@thechoosenone4827 who the hell do you think you are lmao. The entire community agrees that his loyalty is unfortunate, clearly you dont know nothing

If he played with a 3 point line he probably would’ve averaged like 50

@@VeryGoodEggs12 facts

@@VeryGoodEggs12 y’all realized that older era people aren’t superhuman right?

If Pete Maravich won a championship, he probably would've died a lot younger, and wouldn't have been nearly as happy

@@KidnapT obviously, but Pete was a fantastic scorer and regularly made shots from 40+ feet with them only counting as 2 points, against a league of players that had worse defense and athleticism then we do now. Combine that with the fact he averaged over 40 points a game in college, and that’s at least 50 a game

LeBron is a great example when he left for Miami rings, even though he returned to Cleveland afterwards. Guess where Cleveland is now that he's gone?

Great point

Lebron haters mostly

People just follow narratives and don't actually have their own opinions

GARBAGE CONTENT

I'm down for calling it a Fitzgerald in honor of Larry lol.

Trout has had plenty help with the Angles. Maybe he's just not a winner.

@@henny6566 wym Trout has been the best player in the MLB for a while now, the Angels just haven’t been a good team.

@@swishy_bluez I'm noy denying that he has been the best player in the league for a decade now but tbe Angels have had good teams. Not lately but the early 2010's teams had a lot of talent.

Shoutout Calvin Johnson.

I’m surprised Lebrun didn’t try to get the Lakers to bring Love out there. I’d take him now over most of the roster they have. Love can still shoot, the Lakers could use a good shooter.

Kevin Love was good, but not good enough to carry a team. Garnett's era during the T-Wolves has the best PF in the west. Every other night is Duncan, Wallace, Webber, Dirk, Mcdyess, Gasol, Malone, Barkley, Elton Brand. Love faced Duncan, Dirk, then Carl Laundry, Jeff Green, Drew Gooden, J.J. Hickson, Darrell Arthur.... Not even close.

T-Wolves waste players with great potential..

@@heic1971 you crazy Kevin was a beast just no team mates tht simple

Says more about love then the team. Stars get you to playoffs superstars win in them considering he wasn’t even able to make it as the guy shows he never was the guy

i wouldnt say he wasted his career on a bad team though. he was only there for four seasons, and spent more time on the bench than on the court, due to injuries. the most games he played in a season during his whole career was only 67. if anything, they wasted money by having him come there. not saying he wasnt a great player, but he already was severely injury plagued before he decided to sit out his last season in portland to protest not wanting to be there

Most of Walton's issues were his own feet, though. Even his championship season with the Blazers he only played just over 60 games in the regular season. That season with Boston was his ONLY healthy season of his career.

AI had a decent team around him

@@VeryGoodEggs12 name his starting line up and sixth man on his best team without google......

@@VeryGoodEggs12 and don't cheat.. I won't know.. but you'll know

@@BiasFreeTV too young to know that, but I do know there was Eric Snow who was a decently efficient scorer, and he had Mutombo, so that obviously helps, but you also need at least a decent team to make it to the finals

@@VeryGoodEggs12 Eric Snow was inefficient lol

If the team made playoffs, the team wasn't bad. The guys on this list all played on teams that barely made playoffs or not at all during their time with them

Ewing's Knicks are not a bad team. They even went to the finals twice in the 90s.

The Knicks had the talent to get to the finals year after year. Unfortunately for them, Jordan and the eventual champion Bulls put the kibosh on that.

@@jlh4jc *Hakeem Olajuwon enters the room*

OJ Simpson

That narrative is so bogus and bs. Carter and McGrady wouldn't have worked out. It'd be a miss match. TMAC might not have worked on his offense to carry the load and there would have been more quarrel between him and Carter. That raptors team would not have won the title.

No

They would not have beat the Lakers or Spurs. Then after that was the Pistons and heat. They wouldnt have been passed the Pistons and heat

I forgot KG & Ocar won their rings the first year with their team. Stafford did the same 3 days ago🏈🏆

They won a finals though

@@explodyz that was the 2nd year with the Lakers, not the 1st... that was a completely different team.

Shockingly, that team with Lebron and a bunch of young kids who had yet to develop had a better record than the current lakers with 4 of the 75 greatest players of all time

LeBron quit on the team in 2019 once the AD trade fell through that year. They weren't a championship team but they were a playoff team until LeBron quit on them. Yes he did get hurt and that didn't help but when he came back, they were still in position to make the playoffs.

@@showtimenick824 that was my point...

How about Matt Ryan

Calvin Johnson with the Detroit Lions Larry Fitzgerald with the Arizona Cardinals Joe Thomas with the Cleveland Brown

@@MazeDaGr8 jay cutler with the bears

@@elijahmcgeorge5198 Matt Ryan won a league MVP award and went to a Super Bowl.

@@MazeDaGr8 Calvin and Barry both didn't waste their careers. They in the HOF.

For real though. Him and Tracy McGrady had it the worse. Great players on terrible teams. They was carrying the teams they were on.

Because noobs only think Iverson was on a weak team not understanding that he's surrounded by defenders 🙄

AI’s teams weren’t bad just unlucky. Sixers management was doing good building a roster around him. It was his play style that made it hard for him to win

Problem was that back then, players wanted to be the man on their team. Teaming up was almost unheard of even though Toronto drafted both players.

@@JayJackson1981 You meant to say "Players have big Egos and can't swallow their pride" resulting to a disaster

@@user-ps6iz6bd9t No, I meant what I said. Men back then wanted to be leaders. Your generation is a bunch of followers looking for a leader to worship. We are not the same.

@@JayJackson1981 What's wrong from being a followers?

@@JayJackson1981 you're generation is no different from this generation. The way you are making the argument clearly shows that you're just as much of a follower as any generation.

Or if Jordan would’ve done what Durant did. Hell I can’t beat the Pistons I’ll just join them

He Never even made it outta the first round what can’t you believe?

@@tits279 so we're going to count individual accomplishments on team basis? You make a lot of sense. Either that or you clearly didn't see him play during his Orlando years.

@Smitty24 Totally agree.

@Smitty24 didn’t the show raise money for charity??

Cause as Barkley said "you don't piggy back when you're 25."

Goes to show you tune out people's opinions, especially when they flip flop back and forth and sound like hypocrites. I'm not disappointed in Durant decision to Join the Warriors. It was a smart move and won him two legit championships. The narrative would have been different and people would have criticized him had he lost. And people acting all high and mighty saying that they knew he'd win, knowing they were hoping he'd lose.

I don’t feel sorry for dame or Beal. They both have had many opportunities to leave their shitty franchises but they don’t care about winning a championship. They comfortable making millions of dollars in their small market teams.

Oscar did waste his time in Cincinnati. He had no help and he made his teammates far better than they were. Look at it like this, Kareem couldn't win without a grade A point and those grade A points were Magic and Oscar.

Oscar went from averaging 30 point almost triple doubles to barely averaging 20 points with his assist and rebounds. Kareem made his life easy.

Well now Steph is def better

@@Lucas-vr1qr grade A example of curry fans being literally the dumbest humans in the basketball universe.

He went to the finals with Nets

@@WoodT92 twice But he could have 5 rings ..

@@reimixo 5 or better. Tim never won B2B. It was always LA or Spurs every season

@@jknumber5138 I think they win in the same years, maybe 06 too? But Kidd doesn't last until 14 so... Still 5 rings for Kidd It would have been Nice to see Garnett join the nets in like 05 because kg Kidd and Carter vs Parker Duncan and ginobili would BE Nice for a while then against Kobe gasol Odom and fisher...

Tf happened in that game?

He was good on Sega.

The most under rated player in the NBA, if not the most under rated pf.

Play for a team that lost an average of 55 games while with the grizzlies.

It's because Billups and Lue told KG to move that KG left.

Who can they trade for? Could've had Harden or Simmons.. watch em trade the pick(if they can tank) for someone mid like wtf is Portland doing

@@dexxxhundo1365 they have loads of first round picks don't they? seems like they're building for the future. unfortunately dame ain't getting any younger they've wasted his career and so has he for staying

@@riyadinho6795 trade high picks for who? Grant? Naw rather have youngsters under dame learning

Lillard made the Western Conference Finals twice

@@mongoslade277 Yeah, but when it's all said and done, no one will remember that. They'll only remember him for staying loyal to a team that couldn't win a championship

We helped him get HOF numbers. That counts for something

Imagine Barry in Dallas and Emmit in Detroit. Barry would have played a lot longer too with that great offensive line. Emmit would have been washed up after 5 years with those horrible Detroit teams.

@@gregrowe1168 Berry Sanders would have championships right now if he played for Dallas.. Look at Mathew Stafford.. It took him leaving Detroit to get a ring so what does that say about Detroit?? The Lions waste talent..

Mitch was better off with the Warriors.

@@willn8664 no argument there. At least he eventually won a consolation ring with the Lakers as a bench-warmer; Chris and Tim were not so lucky. I always wanted him to go to the Jazz in the late 90s. 80s NBA was so good; 90s ruined it.

@@three-quartersbadger2929 shutup

@@nonamewillbegiven6847 No Fucks Will Be Given about anything you think or say, twat

Warren Moon too. Those oilers teams were exciting to watch but never were a threat to win a title.

Barry Sanders would have to be pretty high on that list too

But Rodgers won a title.

1 of the 3 at least has a ring tho

Whos Dame? Yall retarded for not saying Damian 🤣🤣

I’m actually surprised love hasn’t come to the lakers by now. At this point, he wouldn’t command much of a salary but he can still shoot.

If you look at what he has achieved so far he is definitely impressive. However, when you compare to the number of championships he could have won had he played for better team back then, I understand his inclusion here. He indeed wasted multiple years of his career playing for a bad team.

@@rezhaadriantanuharja3389 yeah if the Cavs could have constructed a better roster around him his first stint there he could of gotten another ring or two

You got to consider how weak the East was during LeBrons early career in Cleveland. His way through the East to the Finals would've been impressive if he had competition but that generally only happened when he was against the West.

@@GO2GO97 yeah but it wasn’t like Lebron was just beating up on bad teams. Lebron as a 21 year old took the Ben Wallace pistons to 7 games in 2006 and beat them in 6 games the following year. He also went 7 games with the big 3 Celtics with no other all star on his team. If the cavaliers would’ve just been able to get Lebron just one other all star I believe he would’ve won a championship in Cleveland his first stint there.

@@jaydot4956 With all due respect that is what I am saying that Lebron did beat up on bad teams. You Pistons argument is one and facing them in the playoffs doesn't exclude the fact that the weakest teams were in the East which he got to face more often than in the East. Big difference going against several good teams multiple times versus only two games in a regular season. For example Shaq and Kobe's had bigger obstacles getting to the 2000 NBA finals than the Pacers but you'll see better records in the East versus the 2006 Lebron season you are talking about. Lebron made it and that is great for him but that doesn't change the fact of the conference he was in that isn't something he could control. So here is a little reminder of that 2006 season showing the 8 playoff teams for each conference. Also it is like the fact that Lebron is currently 4th place in total missed shots in NBA history: 13,282 and that he will probably soon pass Kobe at 14,481. It boils down that ya Lebron made a lot of points which is awesome but he laid up a lot of bricks too. Everyone likes their player to be celebrated but facts are facts. Spurs 63-19 Suns 54-28 Nuggets 44-38 Mavericks 60-22 Grizzles 49-33 Clippers 47-35 Lakers 45-37 Kings 44-38 Heat 52-30 Nets 49-33 Cavaliers 50-32 Wizards 42-40 Pacers 41-41 Bulls 40-42 Bucks 40-42

🤡🤡🤡

Shutup

That's why I don't get mad at super teams forming. It's the right move.

Kevin Garnet won a championship with the Celtics

KG never won because 4 years in a row there was no draft for the team and he was always carrying the load. That's why he gets disrespected by noobs saying that Dirk Nowitzki is better than him when the west was known for the two top pfs being Garnett and Duncan. Hell, the top pfs in the NBA were Garnett and Duncan for nearly a decade

Thats very inaccurate

@@younglove3362 I think it is a case of Dirk Nowitzki having better stats on his early teams than Kevin Garnet did on his. And Dirk had Steve Nash and a lot more help on those teams to take away from his stats, but he still got superior stats to Garnet, who had less help and the team focused on him getting those stats. Dirk Also won a championship with a bunch of roll players and washed up old men like 37 year old Jason kidd. No other all star help to win his ring, but KG had to get a super team to get his ring. That is why Dirk Nowitzki is considered better than KG.

@@nonamewillbegiven6847 I guess you'd also say that Charles Barkley never getting a championship because his prime coincided with Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippin's primes is also very inaccurate. Or how about Stockton and Malone? They couldn't get over MJ and Scottie either.... If an older MJ and Scottie Pippin in their mid 30's could beat all time great power forward like Malone, How the hell are you saying that Kevin Garnet in his Wolves years going up against PRIME 20 something year old Shaq and Kobe isn't a problem?

The only problem with the OKC team was that they didn't get any better after Harding left. Westbrook was not the problem. Skip and others base that bs narrative down, along with the Lakers. The man was an MVP and they got to the playoffs with and without each other plenty of times. Stop believing that nonsense television 📺 likes to tell you.

True!!

That's not true. Harden sh1ts his pants everytime he is in the playoffs.

Huh more like the rockets if he wasn’t injured and fat on the nets they would have won the championship

Bill Russell getting Sam Jones, K.C Jones 🤷🏾‍♂️, Wilt, West,Baylor

Kobe, Shaq, Malone, Peyton?

This guy gets it

@@younglove3362 shutup

No one saw Hill and Yao getting those injuries

Who?

No just no

They changed the rules around Wilt because he was so unstoppable

Young Love and what does that have to do with comment

@@younglove3362 no it was cause the game wasnt interesting. I.diot

lol half of these are wrong, embiid had harden and other good players like maxey now, luka has a decent team built around him, dame is traded to bucks now, ant is also on a good team, lavine is on a decent team and doesn't have enough talent to be considered an all time great imo, brunson has randle, and might not be considered an all-time great either, beal just isn't good enough to be considered a great, booker has an amazing team with kd, nurkic, allen and so much more, and ayton is also on a great team, or at least he was when he was on the suns

I won't say he's the best, but I always argue that he's better than Duncan. And Duncan is my favorite player

@@younglove3362 Duncan is way better than Kg

How many rings does kg have again?

Oh and Shawn Kemp

lol i actually had a debate with someone because i tend to think pete maravich is kind of overrated. being the best player on the best team clearly holds more weight than being the best player on the shittiest team. definitely an innovator and one of the greatest talents in nba history, but would he avg 44pts a game if he had played with ucla instead of lsu? and in 10 seasons he averaged 24 pts in the nba. 24 is obviously really good, but its not crazy as in people who played a few years longer averaged more than that. would he have even done that if he played on the best team?

They were bad. His best team was in 2004 with Spreewell and Cassell. Could have been better if Starbury didn't leave

Elgin Baylor

did you actually see him play or are you only watching youtube highlights?

Apparently. And it also ended up being the last time the Kings made the playoffs.
