- In this video we cover some NBA prospects who never had a chance for success. This include Bronny James, Jahlil Okafor, Hasheem Thabeet, Ben Simmons, and Anthony Bennett's insane rise and falls.
![20 Things You NEED To Know Before The 2025 NBA Season [1-2]](/img/n.gif)
Still feel bad for Oden. If we just would've gotten to see Oden, Roy and Aldridge play together healthy for a couple of seasons..
With Greg Oden, I feel like it's worth pointing out that the Blazers had a notoriously awful medical staff at the time that either ignored the serenity of multiple injuries and long term solutions to problems to get players back on the floor (Ex. A sports doctor friend explained to me once that athletes like Oden commonly get shoe lifts to balance out the leg discrepancy).
As good as the on court fit was, Oden probably becomes the Hakeem to Durant's Jordan if any other team wins the lottery (Probably not the best pick given how the league evolved, but everyone is happy with the selection regardless).
I feel like if that Blazers team was healthy with B Roy, LA, and Oden, they'd have at least won 1 chip.
@@hmohngcheelee7549 Oden could have saved.
Roy in all honesty I wish just stayed in Minnesota. People forget the reason he dropped out of the top 5 in his draft class was because the GMs knew that he was never going to have more than a 5-6 year career. I would have loved for him to have a championship window with KG right away.
Oden was so good man smh he’s still a legend
Anthony Bennett should have been the face of the list lol
Goat genetics?!?!?! I didn't know bronny dad was MJ
NBA already Milking Bronny Lay up💀
😂😂fr
NBA TH-cam will milk every view from Brony's 1 or 2 year in the NBA
That kid is a$$ but they are hyping him up as if he was the number 1 draft pick. 🤦🏾♂️
@@cjjohnson3827What scout, NBA coach or GM hyped him up?
@@atlanta1290no coach or scout is hyping him up. But the media talks about bronny more than Zaccharie Risacher who was the actual number 1 pick.
Thanks for highlighting how good the good parts of Ben's game were. Many people these days go "he was always mediocre", and that's plain revisionism
This is a very underrated channel
Mudiay, Bronny, MKG, Bender, and Okafor lineup is killing it in another timeline
Peyton Watson averaged 3ppg, 3rpg in college. Got drafted 29th by the Nuggets. So idk anymore lol
he's also 6 foot 6 and a great defender
I try to be on Bronnys side. But I cant get over how his "story" kills the idea of an achievement.
LeBron started with a poor young mom and no father.
Bronnys father is the worlds most athletic billionare.
So bronny is supposed to struggle? Yall logic don't make sense
@@PR_2407 the point is he didn't earn his place in the league, so it's difficult to support someone who clearly doesn't belong there.
@theemotionalremix There are thousands of players who are undeserved and pay their way to get there, compared to someone who doesn't have the funds to do the same, but it way more talented. Yall act like you know every player who got there deserved it, but because he's lebrons son ppl wanna put a target on his back
@@PR_2407 I don't know who you're talking about, I've never heard of these "other players" that you're on about because we're talking about Bronny James.
You can support Bronny if you want to but I can understand why Lakers fans are angry. This kid isn't good enough to play in the NBA, he's not even good enough to start in the G-League.
The difference between Bronny and everyone else is they were lottery picks lol and Bronny was a LATE second round pick. Y’all’s hate for Lebron shows by the way yall project on to his son. Name 4 players picked at his position with the expectations of being a HOFer?
I nominate the absolute train wreck that is Royce White, who was drafted in the 1st round, but refused to play because of a fear of flying and anxiety disorder, and general mental disabilities. This same man is now running for political office😂😂😂
gonna blow up like CCF been saiyan
Whenever LeBron retires, Bronny will be out of the NBA... Nepotism...
☘️🏆☝🏽
Father and Son will retire together 😂😂 but honestly, Bronny seems more passionate about being a streamer rather than a basketball player.
I think people don’t know going into cardiac arrest as a athlete can really slow you down especially if you don’t have the proper time to get rest. The man use to play extremely hard now he seems so hesitant.
Where's OJ Mayo ?
Simmons never impressed me.
THANK YOU
not trying to defend bronny because he’s definitely not NBA level, but skipping over his literal cardiac arrest is kind of disingenuous. Say what you want about his skillset but we can’t deny at one point he WAS a legit prospect until that derail happened. He still gets talked about way too much for someone who’s done legit nothing though.
I also didn't like how he failed to mention his contract has in it that he spends a decent amount of time in the g league almost half the season and only 2 years are guaranteed of the contract he has to earn the other 2.
U suggesting that he would be playing much better if it weren't for the cardiac arrest?
@@ygjjjgui ask yourself that question and understand how dumb it sounds.
@ygjjjgui .. he was doing alot better before that.. that's why his minutes got diminished not because he couldn't play they didn't wanna risk injury same reason why he declared this year if he on a time bomb why would he waste time in college ?
@@mr.longjohn0014 There is literally no evidence to suggest that he would be any better if it hadn't happened. He averaged under 5 points despite playing like 20 minutes per game at a bad school. He's a year removed from the medical emergency, and he's still no good. The reason it wasn't mentioned in the video is that it's actually not relevant.
Okafor would’ve been a star in the 200 and 2010s
Crazy 😮
Can we count a #55 pick???
He got a guaranteed contract like a first rounder tho
Tf did Bronny do to you all? Praying on his downfall for no fckn reason, but karma gonna do its thing...
Relax buddy its sports he ain't ready bro.. it's simple...that's how sports work. Either you can or can't play ...
Bronny will do his thing too just won’t be in the nba ain’t no shame in that
Hasheem having video game defensive numbers? So he was that bad? Cuz you know 2k defense is underpowered
If bronny can become a elite defender he might be able to stay in the leauge
6:07 As a Wisconsin native, that score still hurts 🤣
What’s up with the filters over Simmons and Ja?
Last two guys on the court, which do you pick: bronny or mack McClung?
Good video like normal but why are we dunking so hard on Bronny already??? When have we ever cared about the 55th pick🌝get real now. Give the kid a year or 2. We’ve seen worse picks higher up, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE 55th pick. Not even top of round 2 being a bust. Come on now
so you’re telling me a kid who was drafted not because he was good but because of his dad, gets a 5.4 million guaranteed money (what second round pick gets that much???) and he can’t face criticism? is this 🥷🏾serious????
Because if his last name was anything else he wouldn't be in the league. He might become a decent player, he might be a waste of a pick in retrospect, but what we do know is that as of right now he is only in the league due to nepotism
@@TheNeutronJawn Criticism is fair, but being this critical of the 55th pick is insane. We’ve already established that he’s not gon be his dad, cool. The purpose of taking him this late is b/c he doesn’t have the talent. If it were as serious as everyone as making it he would’ve gon round 1.
@@jaystirg People are so critical of Bronny James because he’s LeBron James’ son. You can’t expect people not to critique a player just because they’re a second-round pick. Bronny hasn’t proven himself in the league yet and doesn’t perform at a high level. Despite this, he received an unprecedented amount of guaranteed money for a second-round pick. The only ones who seem to avoid criticism of him are LeBron fans and Lakers fans.
bronny should have stayed in usc for atleast1-2 more years hes clearing not ready to play in the nba rn
Only 2 years of bronny contract are guaranteed and he has to spend a ton of time in the g league .
The bronny hating in this vid feels forced
When LeBron leaves the Lakers, if Bronny does not improve, they will add him to trades and say ti other execs that his ceiling is high and the Lakers are trading at a "loss"
Ben is different because he's actually highly talented 😅😅
He's a bum. Period.
Dude's mental game is so weak we have not seen him being any good for years now...
WTF is that thumbnail with white Okafor/Simmons lmao
Lazy is definitely right for Simmons 😂but Bronnie i can see him being at best a good 6th man maybe
Wasn't good enough in h.s. or college. Gonna be enough in the League?
@@elvisp116he was good enough in high school lmao he had cardiac arrest in college and was injured. Get off his dick
@@elvisp116he did amazing his senior year of high school
Why do people act like bronny was a top 10 pick this shit is ridiculous
Nah KAT was a better overall player in College then Okafor in college. The stat comparison is misleading. Yes Duke won the national title that year, but that Kentucky team was 38-0 before being upset by Wisconsin. There were 3 lottery picks and 4 1st rounders in the 2015 draft class and 2 2nd rounders and 8 players total would eventually play in the NBA not counting Alex Poythress who I believe was injured in the preseason. KAT was always better defensively and a better passer than Okafor and was rapidly improving as an around the basket scorer in the 2nd half of the season. Towns per 40 minute stats in college 19.5 ppg and 12.7 rebounds 4.3 blocks and and 2.1 assist. Jahlil Okafor's per 40 minutes stats in college 23 ppg 11.3 rebounds 1.9 blocks per game and 1.7 assist. The only stat Okafor was better than Towns at in college was scoring in per 40 minute stats and even that wasn't by much.
I really think yall was fishing with the bronny pick. The kid is the 55th pick and hasn’t had a career in the league yet. And I hate LeBron
Bronny still don’t look bad as Anthony Bennet.
Ben Simmons more accomplished then all of them so... Regardless of what you say
Man the lefraud army is in here hard. They are glazing the prince as hard as they glaze their “king.” Sports shouldn’t have nepotism in it because you can either play in nba or not. Your daddy being good shouldn’t guarantee you a contact and spot without ever earning it. Lakers are dumb
Lebron is the spoiled one fs not Bronny 😂😂😂
You guys are the worst. You even said it's too soon. Just wait for him to fit y'all narrative. Gotta downvote.
Lebron killed his son basketball career
As soon as he said goat genetics i was out ✌️
Bronny DID work hard for his spot, stop trynna call Bronny a bust at the 55th pick dawg 😭
you can work had for something you don't deserve as well, you know.
Yeah he’s a 55th pick but a 55th pick with a guaranteed contract/roster spot before proving himself is not something he worked hard for c’mon now. We all know he was given that by name. I want him to succeed too but let’s not lie to ourselves. 😂😂
@@vorstaack Bronny was unproven in high school and a disappointing collage bench player for one of the worst teams in the nation. Getting drafted shouldn’t have even been an option
Found JJs youtube account
At what level did he ever show he was an NBA caliber player
Just another lebron hater go figure.
Obviously bron has all the pull in the nba and he wanted bronny developed and him and his peers over the college game. I believe bronny will have a long 10+ year career with all star appearances by the time he’s 28
Bronny should not be on this list.. Even if he only gets on very small contract after his rookie contract and plays at the end off the bench for a few seasons i would not call his journey a failure.. It's 100% true that anyone not called "James" would never get a chance in the NBA witch such a statline and health issues.. but yeah.. if we look back in 10 years and bronny is still in the league.. avg of 2 points at the end of a bench.. then it was not a failure!
