What Happened To The 2001 NBA Draft? (Top 10) 

Lived in Memphis when Pau and Shane were drafted. Proud of both of them. They were stars on the court, and are still credits to the game in retirement.

From Kwame's perspective, imagine coming straight out of high school to play with the pros, that's already a lot of pressure. Now add the fact that your childhood hero Michael Jordan is verbally roasting your butt in practice and in games. I don't care how confident you are, that would would kill anyone's confidence in a snap. Which then sucks more because later on it made him look soft in Kobe's eyes and we all know he didn't tolerate that.

The amount of work you must put in these videos. Hella respect. Great content king 🔥🫡

Pau Gasol is underrated to me for some reason, even though he does receive a nice amount of recognition as a star..

Even after all these years Kwame doesn't seem to have any animosity towards Jordan despite what he went through with him in his Wizard years. Still considers him as the Goat and I respect that. What Jordan did was inexcusable though.

Just wanted to drop a line to say how much i enjoyed watching your video. Very thorough and in depth with a lot of info. Can't wait to watch your other videos. Keep up the good work.

I think you make the best content and it’s always from a truthful perspective.Yes the Clipper curse seems live and well

Helping me get through these wait times at Universal with your great content. Keep it up

I love your content and it’s truthful. Keep up the good work!

Kwame Brown is one of about 3 guys who can legitimately guard Shaq 1v1 without any help. Yao, Hakeem, and Kwame himself. All others like rodman or ben wallace played more help defense but also did good.

I can tell you put in work my friend. Sub earned. Good work 👌

Great stuff....continue this

I root for kwame my guy was only 18 years old dealing with that , Jordan was a bully to his bulls teammates too difference is this were grown men

I could argue that Pau's impact internationally has been bigger, or at least the same, as in his NBA career. For Spain, he's been the best player of our entire history and he's regarded as one of the best European players ever.

Underrated video💯💯

It’s still weird that Pau Gasol was drafted between Brown and Chandler and like Doncic he was drafted by the Hawks at 3 and traded

Brown played more than a dozen years in the league. Jordan was awful to him and severely dwarfed his development.

Kwame Brown got dealt a ROUGH hand, had to deal with old angry bitter MJ and then immediately with younger selfish bull in a china shop Kobe. had to be hard for someone right out of highschool

This riding Kwame bust thing is getting old.. He isnt even the biggest of the last 20 years with Darko, Bagley, Anthony Bennett etc.. just seems lazy to even say this

Kwame definitely would have been better with some college, but when Michael Jordan shows up at your front door and says he's taking you with a high pick no 18 year old kid's gonna say no to that.

Great video dude but every time you tried to pronounce Eduardo Nájera's name the Texan in me cringed lmao. It's pronounced "NAH-hur-ah". In Spanish J's have an H sound (think Jalapeño)

7th pick eddie Griffin... had severe depression and some mental issue ..especially when his mentor died... it went downhill fast

There is one thing about Curry that no one ever seems to mention when talking about his downfall, and it was pretty big. Eddy Curry had another child before the six he has now. His child and the woman he was going through the divorce process, i think, got murdered in the offseason between his breakout year with the knicks and when he came super out of shape. Naturally, it took him some time to move on. I dont know why this doesnt get any attention at all, he just usually gets shitted on. Not saying you did, just overall. It is something i wish more people knew about tho

Griffin and white were the biggest busts especially Griffin who had great potential but let down by his addictions and off court

Pau Gasol 🐐

Good job overall. Some pronunciation errors: Alexis Ajinca (Ah-Jeh-saw) - I don't know why the n is silent. Eduardo Najera - I've heard NA-HAIR-uh and Na-HER-uh. The first is, I believe, the correct pronunciation. However, I'm not a native Spanish speaker and Najera comes from Arabic, so all bets are off.

Two decades after Kwame, we have Ben Simmons being babysitted by coaches and teammates yet he couldn't find his groove. Then they said today's basketball is harder than the 90s early 2000s.

I liked Mr.Kwame Bred Mr.Kwame Brown💪🏽🏀💯‼️

I remember this, some dudes can’t handle this. Bulls say MJ what an a- hole but helped them in practice, player got soft w/ words. Wizards sucked mj bought the team. They still kinda suck.

Brown wasn’t a bust he was an average player.

Aye bruh…IDGAD IF ITS JESUS MF CHRIST…. Ain’t no mf talking to me like that without repercussions… it could be Jordan,Kobe, Lebron, KD, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, or Larry fucking Bird im swinging on whoever talkin to me lih dat…. Idc who disagrees. I blame Kwame Browns Bust of a career on MJ. He completely eviscerated that “kids”confidence. Clearly it had a huge impact on his confidence, which in turn led to his disappointing career. Jordan and Old Mfs like him only know 1 method to comforting, encouraging, and motivating people, whether it’s friends,family, Teammates, strangers, acquaintances, and lovers…. It’s called tough love. 😂😂. If MJ and Kobe would’ve been more sensible and more empathetic with Kwame, they would’ve saw and learned he did t respond well to that method of encouraging. Should’ve taken the soft approach. MJ and Kobe were kind of dickheads for treating bro like that.

I'm backing off kwame I mean I knew he went through but I didn't know to what extent wow

Kwame isn't the even the biggest bust of this draft. Eddy Curry is. His rebounds per game as a center in this era is terrible, really awful defensively too. He was a bust for the Bulls. He signed a huge contract with the Knicks and ate his way out of the league - He busted for them too, It was so bad his contract was a major part of why the Knicks were so bad for almost a decade. Kwame was just a backup big after his rookie contract. He wasn't given a franchise player level contract like Curry that he failed on. He didn't cripple two teams

Fun fact kwame brown is from my hometown 😂

Is this sweatband tv from apex 🧍🏾‍♂️

well at least browne has some talents outside basketball, unlike other basketball superstar that became poor

“Up next is another player who would’ve benefited by spending some time in college. Desagana Diop was another player who made the jump from high school to the NBA… Scouts viewed him a player who blocked extremely well In college” Wtf ru saying 😭

Enjoyed. Sagana Jop. The shitty center on the Mavs. That's how it's pronounced lol.

Pau Gasol should have went 1st

RIP Eddie Griffin That being said, a DUI car crash watching porn is the best career ender I’ve ever heard in my life.

Sounds like Kwame had a pretty good career. They are only busts because we hype them.

Kwame’s mommas’s cooking did not prepare him to be mentally tough enough for the NBA. He was too damn immature.

Eduardo Nahera pronunciation

A lot of em was good players just got old

Kwame on TV now?

Pau Gasol. The sole reason kobe has 5 rings.

Imagine having to deal with the hyper competitive psychos like Jordan and Kobe. 99% of us would break.

Kwame BUST Brown should be ashamed of himself

Man , these kids don't even learn cursive any😢because it's to hard . The world today is about to die slowly, smh

Stop calling Kwame a bust YOU EVER PLAYED COLLEGE OR HIGHSCHOOL BASKETBALL? IF SO you would understand how hard it is to last in the NBA for 10 years

Tp9 💍💍💍💍🤠🇨🇱☝️

Second

🥓😂

I remember when getting bullied meant someone actually put hands on you. When I was a kid growing up in Chicago everyone talked sh*t to everyone else and we called it clowning. Hell even teachers got in on the action. 😂😂😂😂

Mj sucks

i really don't get kwame brown hate....dude 100% was a bust...but peoples acting like he was biggest bust of all time...when he had ok career for like 12 years...its becouse Jordan drafted him...dude like anthony bennet way bigger draft bust...but no one even remembers him ..dude was number one pick and after couple years was playing in G-League

First

KWAME BROWN DId HOS JOB Nowhere near the top 200 players of all time but he did his job Probably was better than 40% of NBA players

I think Jordan broke Kwame mentally. If an open player is NERVOUS and AFRAID to get the ball, that's another level of stress...
