You all prolly dont care but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Mordechai Boone I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Dude this was an incredible episode!!!!!!!! I remember Sweetney and how talented he was but I wasn't aware of his mental issues. Props to you reaching out to people who suffer with depression. It's more than basketball sometimes!
Being a knick fan I remember sweetney thinking they got a good pick but he only played a couple of years with us but it is good to see he is in a good frame of mind and is doing great.
So many people think just because these guys are in the league they don’t struggle and very few of the players seek help because they don’t want them weak in the public eye. I’m glad he got help and came out of it.
I really like the perspective that you looked at his story from. Like you said people only talk about him negatively on TH-cam so this is very refreshing.
*This is good work brotha. Hands down the most bingeable basketball channel on TH-cam. I've got your Eddy Curry and DeMarcus Cousins cued up after this video.*
I remember him being a beast on the offensive rebounds during his early years in the nba; he was foul prone though. Good thing he is doing alright in life now.
Realized I still hav all 3 colorways of ur gtown Jersey. I was such a uptown Hoya @ the time. Yet I never knew much about this part of ur journey. Good 2 see u back on top of this everday struggle
Mike was really good here in the DC area in the early 2000's. I remember that Draft when his father died. It really set him back like it would any person. Good job bring his story to youtube.
Thanks for this one. I just remember Sweetney disappearing. Did not know he was dealing with lost and depression. I am so glad he is on the other side of depression working to through it even after a suicide attempt. Great story. Thank you for the awareness.
Dude was a beast at G-Town back when the Big East was the best conference in college basketball. I'm glad he turned it around and I'm glad he's helping those dealing with depression. Folks don't understand, it takes a strong person to overcome certain things in life, glad to see him doing good.
I remember the Knicks picking this dude up when I 1st got into basketball. I learned early the difference between a college star and future nba superstar
Man oh man...didn't know Mike Sweetney was through a lot and glad he's doing fine and better...losing a parent is tough and hearts and prayers go out to mike.....salute and respect stunted growth...also big up and salute mike sweetney..
I know you and Flemlo are associated....y'all should do a NBA players that played football top 5 3-2 and vice versa NFL players to play basketball. It would pretty interesting. Great exposure for both great channels.
Great work bro! This one made me think of another player who was from my hometown of Detroit but unfortunately passed on way too soon because of the same weight issues Sweetney had. I'm talking about Robert "Tractor" Traylor. I really hope you'll see this and consider to make a video about him and his stunted growth 🙏
Randy Culpepper from Utep was a favorite player of mine when I was in highschool. Nolan Smith and Elliot Williams as well. I always like the guards Portland has drafted but they tend to blossom other places after being buried on the bench(behind quality starters)
We always have to keep in mind that these players are people, with their personal struggles and weaknesses. Big support to Mike Sweetney, I hope he's doing well and I wish him all the best
mental support is so important! Several players have struggled with this in the past, and the NBA did not help them properly. The league should be more active in supporting this kind of issues
Losing your father when your trying to make the transition form kid to adult can leave a young man's life in shambles. A lot of sleepless nights crying alone and questioning meaning of life. Hope everyone suffering from depression doesnt lose the sight of tomorrow and what can be accomplished with it.
Been waiting years to hear about Mike Sweetney. Watched those Hoya teams back in the day. I remember jay bilas named dropped him a couple years ago at the draft "this player reminds me of Michael Sweetney out of Georgetown several years ago"
Damn this is a good one. I'm glad he came out on the other side able to help others struggling with suicidal thoughts. A person close to me died from suicide. It leaves a gaping whole in people lives
son, I want to say I'm a huge fan of your show, keep up the good work. Can you please do one on this cat name "Jonathan Hargett". He came out the D.C and VA area. Son was the real deal. He was the first high school player that I seen that threw the ball off the backboard and dunk during the game. Please do one on him. Keep up the good work.
Good video once again!!! Way to show the forwards some luv!!! I forgot Mike was that good at GT, because of his pro career. I can't wait to see who is next, got my notification ready
Hey JC how about your Division 1 or D1 Story. KTO, JxmyHighroller, Flemlo Raps have theirs, I would love to hear yours 😁 48th View 6th Thumbs Up 4th Comment
I never thought he was going to be anything in the NBA, felt he was another Robert 'Tracker' Traylor or Jahidi White type of player, but his story is very moving. Depression is real, and I'm glad he made it to the other side. Much respect and blessings to him and his family
I know the series is called stunted growth and I genuinely appreciate the videos JC but it really just seems like alot of these guys just got dealt a bad a hand. Shit sucks, thank you JC for bringing his story to the forefront.
Good stuff Fam. May the Creator and the Ancestors, his dad among them keep him grounded to be the vessel to assist others that battle what he seems to overcome. Peace and Love to him and his beautiful family🌞💪🏿👏🏿💯
Before I watch. I had to click. Saw this manchild play as an unstoppable varsity force. He played huge. Then rubbing shoulders with him@Gtowns bookstore I was amazed he only had me by an inch or 2. Charles Barkley like. He was a must see phenom his senior year
A Syracuse man admits, this dude was one of the great zone-busters of all time. When he got the ball in the middle of the paint and went to work.....! Unfortunately, short, stocky big men like him were becoming obsolete at the NBA level. Didn't know, though, he was dealing with personal issues. Praying and routing for him...!
I got the book about him and his team, "Play Their Hearts Out" (written by George Dohrmann of Sports Illustrated) a few years ago. Check that out when you can.
i really respect how you addressed that corny shit at the beginning of the video. that's hella respect. people projecting their own insecurities upon others is the lamest shit ever. jc, you a real solid human. (pause)
He was nice n college!! He got big overseas smh Robert tractor trailer and Sean May was nice n college for sum big boys!! What about my guy John Wallace from Syracuse what happened to him??
U make this quarantine much easier bro!!!! Keep up this great product u have👍🏾🙌🏾😁!!!

@Mordechai Boone it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out :D
This is powerful. Depression is serious and when you go thru it there’s no motivation to keep going it just eats your life away. Good stuff JC
Very well said man. Its so very true
It debilitates you
Absolutely. In these times, this couldn't be more understandable. Depression is serious no matter how much money and success you have
Dude this was an incredible episode!!!!!!!! I remember Sweetney and how talented he was but I wasn't aware of his mental issues. Props to you reaching out to people who suffer with depression. It's more than basketball sometimes!
Facts man. That's such a serious thing. Wish more celebrities stood up for this
Lou Roe, Tractor Traylor, Loren Woods, Brevin Knight, Terry Dehere, Luther Wright, Antonio Daniels
Bunch of bums
Marcus Reid I’d be very interested in a Dehere or Brevin Knight episode... also Corliss Williamson and Gary Trent ...
@@CarlosPerez-ut5ze lol!
Being a knick fan I remember sweetney thinking they got a good pick but he only played a couple of years with us but it is good to see he is in a good frame of mind and is doing great.
As a lifelong Hoyas and Knicks fan I was really rooting for the guy. Glad he rebounded in life.
So many people think just because these guys are in the league they don’t struggle and very few of the players seek help because they don’t want them weak in the public eye. I’m glad he got help and came out of it.
I really like the perspective that you looked at his story from. Like you said people only talk about him negatively on TH-cam so this is very refreshing.
Ol Mike Sweetney he from my area and was a beast at Oxon Hill. DMV baby!
💯💯💯a fcukin BEAST!! I thought slim was waay bigger the way he played
Huge Knick Fan , I'm glad he's recovered .........
*This is good work brotha. Hands down the most bingeable basketball channel on TH-cam. I've got your Eddy Curry and DeMarcus Cousins cued up after this video.*
Love fam!
I felt this episode from the heart
I remember him being a beast on the offensive rebounds during his early years in the nba; he was foul prone though. Good thing he is doing alright in life now.

Another DMV legend, it was sad seeing all that play out in public. But he got it back and kept pushing, that’s a success story to me.
Bro, your commentary and narrative skills are impeccable.
Thanks fam!
Thanks for this one. I just remember Sweetney disappearing. Did not know he was dealing with lost and depression. I am so glad he is on the other side of depression working to through it even after a suicide attempt. Great story. Thank you for the awareness.
Yea man, No one's exempt from it!
I remember M.Sweetney from the time he played here In Puerto Rico.Dude had talent , I’m glad he turned it around and is living a good life

Great video JC! Anything can cause a person to slip into deep waters.... thank God he recovered!

Yo man I'm glad he didn't give up on Life.
I know what it's like losing a parent...... But time does get better
Randy Culpepper from Utep was a favorite player of mine when I was in highschool. Nolan Smith and Elliot Williams as well. I always like the guards Portland has drafted but they tend to blossom other places after being buried on the bench(behind quality starters)
More big men DeJuan Blair - Pittsburgh
we need this one.
He was a beast
Always A Spur ! Loved the Guy a warrior on Court
We always have to keep in mind that these players are people, with their personal struggles and weaknesses. Big support to Mike Sweetney, I hope he's doing well and I wish him all the best
What you said. 🙌🏾
Ok bro another banger... Mike was tough. Keep grindin my dude. Waiting on tht Stunted Growth(Yourself) and Paul McPherson.

mental support is so important! Several players have struggled with this in the past, and the NBA did not help them properly. The league should be more active in supporting this kind of issues

whole in people lives
Sorry to hear that man, hope you're dealing with it in a healthy way. Stay up fam.
I know this doesn't mean much but he was a beast on my fantasy draft roster for nba 2k8. gobbled those rebounds for me
son, I want to say I'm a huge fan of your show, keep up the good work. Can you please do one on this cat name "Jonathan Hargett". He came out the D.C and VA area. Son was the real deal. He was the first high school player that I seen that threw the ball off the backboard and dunk during the game. Please do one on him. Keep up the good work.
Great job always wondered where he went,You forgot about the 96 draft maybe a video comparing the 03 to the 96 class
Good video once again!!! Way to show the forwards some luv!!! I forgot Mike was that good at GT, because of his pro career. I can't wait to see who is next, got my notification ready
Thank you bro. Yea, he was such a skilled player man. Even when he got big he still was. Salute fam. Next one gonna be good!!
Good stuff, glad that brother made it out of the darkness

Before I watch. I had to click. Saw this manchild play as an unstoppable varsity force. He played huge. Then rubbing shoulders with him@Gtowns bookstore I was amazed he only had me by an inch or 2. Charles Barkley like. He was a must see phenom his senior year
I’ll never understand why they drafted nene the year before Mike to trade him, Camby & mark jackson for mcdyess
Salute to big Mike
He was hooping too I forgot about Mike I use to always pick him up in 2k
A Syracuse man admits, this dude was one of the great zone-busters of all time. When he got the ball in the middle of the paint and went to work.....!
