      Kwame made it to the NBA and played 12 years as a pro. He bought his momma a house at 18 and elevated his family from poverty. So we can critique his game but does it warrant all that gratuitous mockery he's had too deal with for 20 years? There have been far worse careers and far worse examples for the youth than Kwame so why do people still feel the need to bring him down?

That's number 1, and number 2, Kwame Brown is gone. The city of angels which should be celebrating throw a parade already whether you win a championship or not, this man was a bonafide scrub. He can't play, no disrespect whatsoever, but I'm sorry to go and tell everybody the truth, the man cannot play the game of basketball. He has small hands he can't catch the ball. He's got bad feet, he can't really move. Even though he's mobile, doesn't really know what he's doing. Doesn't have a post move that he puts to memory that he can do 2 times in a row. He has no game whatsoever. Plays no defense. Doesn't have the heart, the passion or anything that comes with it and you're asking me whether they gave up too much? Please. The Los Angeles Lakers knew exactly what they were doing. They should be celebrating right now and Kobe Bryant should not be saying a word.
