DerrMarr Johnson Is LUCKY To Be Alive! What Stunted His Growth
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- DerrMarr Johnson was the player of the year in high school and even had a chance to go straight to the league! After one year at Cincinnati, he left for the NBA. Was it a good move? Depends on how you look at it. Either way, 20 years later, he's a graduate and transitioning into a different life. Although he's lucky to be alive, what stunted his growth?

This really is one of the best series on the web. I wish all young players were required to watch and learn.
Two suggestions for future features: my generations Hasheem Thabeet, Yinka Dare. And especially, Chris Heroine Herren. I used to follow him hardcore, then when I was a young news reporter had to cover him when he crashed his car into a Dunkin Donuts. Apparently he's also recently been accused of sexual assault.
Appreciate that man. Did Thabeet
@@stuntedgrowth I know, I'm talking about Yinka Dare from George Washington!! If you don't remember him I don't blame you!! 😂😂😂
Darius Miles, Harold Minor , Joseph Forte
Yinka Dare made the best highlights back then
Michael Dickerson of the Arizona Wildcats and Vancouver Grizzlies. He was cold before the injuries
Salute and respect stunted growth...DerMarr Johnson:despite making the NBA and dealing with obstacles and setbacks he finally got his college degree and is doing fine and well...keep up the good work DerMarr....
Wooooow that Cincinnati team is still my favorite college team of all time.
It’s one of my top 3 favorite teams. The Duke team with Jayson Williams, Shane Battier, Chris Duhon, Mike Dunleavy and Booz is probably #1 and this Cincy team probably #2 and #3 the championship UConn team with El Amin, Ricky Moore, Albert Mouring, Rip Hamilton and Jake Voskuhl is #3
OJ Mayos former high-school teammate Bill Walker would be an amazing video.
Stunned Growth, been waiting on this one. D.Johnson was really nice. I kind of wish he would’ve went high school to the pros. I remember him in Atlanta Hawks with Jason Terry. They played Terry at the 2 guard. As much I liked him, ATL Hawks didn’t know what to do with a young guy like that. Car accident really hurt him. With the roster ATL should’ve let him start from the jump.
Do a stunted growth on Sean May. I always wondered what happened with him.
He was overweight and injury prone. The end.
Dermarr Johnson had game. He was never used right in my opinion. All around game offensively but didn't give you much on defense
Another great video. I have several request: Kareem Reid, Scotty Thurman, Todd Day, Dontonio Winfield, Mark Macon & TJ Ford
TJ done
@Robert Drake he was one of my favorite undersized players. He can handle, heart and respected by many.
@@stuntedgrowth keep putting in the work, your content is elite.
He was the truth I played against Him in the adidas big time in Vegas he played for DC Assault and we played on the same aba team in Long Beach
Please do Marcus Banks
He was on his way until the accident. Please do one on Lloyd "Sweet Pea" Daniels if you haven't yet.
I went to school with him in William Wirt middle school and Bladensburg high school which he only went to school just for gym class lol and everytime I seen him he always had a basketball and gym bag in his hands. He use to ride my bus and one of the best players I've seen in person. I remember the day he got drafted, my hole neighborhood went crazy, I lived in Riverdale MD and that same day I got locked up but that's another story.
Great story! ✊🏾
@@stuntedgrowth u just got a new subscriber
@@terrancewilliams819 was bladenburg good in your time at basketball ?
A stunted growth that should be told is none other than Leon Smith
Thought he was going to be the next T Mac!
Oh and the Cincinnati bearcats squad was one of my all time favorite college squads! Would have won the chip if k mart didn’t get hurt!💯
Facts. They were steam Rollin folks
I remember this guy, he came right in the middle when the NBA was transitioning and moving slowly away from "back to the basket", even though it was still there, and begin seeing more lengthy guys who can shoot from deep with athleticism.
Isaiah "J.R." Rider should be next!
If you get J-ski jr rider reach out to him I'm extremely sure he will give you his Blessing once you guys talk he's doing great things in Arizona with up-and-coming kids rather five-star or one-star
JR Rider had a good career skrap!could it had been better? Of course but he wasn't a failure by no means!!
That would be a good one but I know what happened with him it was drugs and attitude but he was a baller
Qyntel Woods and Jonathan Bender would be interesting features. Also: Kelvin Torbert, DeAngelo Collins, Lee Benson Jr. (my usual suggestions 😁)
Yes! Very interested in Qyntel Woods and Torbert .... good call
Stromile Swift
I want to see Qyntel there another Memphis Kid Shawne Williams who would be a good one
Fred Jones of Indiana
@@newmemphis earl Boykins
Another great one! You should do one on Eduardo Nájera, Darius Songalia, Lonnie Baxter, Travis Diener, Gerry Mcnamera, Jarred Jeffries, Drew Gordon, Andre Emmit, JR Giddens, Michael Sweetney, AJ Moye, Kevin Pittsnogle, Joey Alexander.
Love your channel, bring back hella memories from that time in College basketball
Thanks man. I did Sweet
This is becoming one of my favorite pages🤘🏾
✌🏾️💯💪🏾
Dontonio Wingfield Ga legend
The most accomplished players from 99McDonalds Team were Carlos Boozer & Nick Collision. Espn's Jay Williams was on that team too. That team was cursed..
Bro... Researching him I was like, yo I did a lot of those players in that game already lol. That class Def had some mojo on it.
I remember a player named rodney white back in the day. Played for the 49ers and UNC Charlotte got drafted by the pistons cover of slam and rhen never heard of again. That's the definition of stunted.
Dude was unreal. And he went like 10.
Good work on this one bro still want that Lawrence Moten
This has become my favorite ball channel, JC. Nobody breaks the game down like you do, connecting it to life as a whole. As for some other cats, Leon Smith, the Chicago hoops legend, who was drafted young and threw it all away when he kidnapped Cappie Pondexter, and Jerome Harmon a former McDonald's All American from Louisville
Great suggestions. Appreciate that!
Hell yeah!!! Jerome "F@cking" Harmon!!!
Despite that neck injury, I'm happy that he got to play quite a long NBA career. I have suggestion for a couple of players who deserve a Stunted Growth feature namely Sharone Wright and B.J. Tyler.
I got to see him play against Chris Herren back in the 90s, maybe a tournament or something I don't remember at this point. What I do remember is that it was and still is the best two high school players I've ever seen. New England doesn't produce a ton of big names so it was a big deal. So unfortunate how both of their careers turned tragic so quickly.
Only other NBA guy from my neck of the woods was Tom Garrick in the late 80s. His basketball and football jerseys are both retired at my high school. He earned a bit of national fame as a senior, upsetting a heavily favored Missouri team and then Syracuse who had 3 NBA guys and coming off the Final 4 in 87. I say fame because he and his family were heavily featured in the media due to his father, blinded by a landmine in WW2, coming to all of his games and getting the play by play from one of his daughters.
I was a freshman at UC that year. DerMarr was a human cheat code. Game day atmosphere on campus was electric. Seeing that team play in person was unreal. Your synopsis on him being in the wrong is 100% CORRECT.
You should make a video on James “flight” white !
he already did!
Yup he already did. Check out all his videos .. you’ll find it !!
Another Dope video from the B.I.G Homie Keep Grinding & doing your thing. Do you think you can do Jameer Nelson for me I appreciate it Brodie... Anyway to anybody that’s watching this remember y’all, Keep Going & Be Safe 🤟🏾💯
@ AG Warfield.... Jameer Nelson was cold man. Only thing why would he be on stunted growth. Nelson had a solid career. Made the nba finals and even made an all star game. Me personally I dont think his career was stunted at all.
@@jondixson5274 yeah I feel you
Can you do one on Tony Delk from that Kentucky national championship team("97") he was a beast in college.. What happened to him in the NBA, or do one on "Jacquees Vaughn" from Kansas basketball team..💯💯 they both were phenomenal point guards on the college level
one of my favorite Hawks I was excited he got his health straight
Recently been checking out your work and its top notch. One player I'm surprised I haven't seen anything on Walt "The Wizard" Williams a Maryland legend.
Went to his basketball camp in bowie md around the time he had his accident. Dude was very nice and had limitless range. Mike beasly was there and we called him dubz because he had a size 17 shoe at the time. James white was also a counselor there while he was at Florida before transferring to Cincinnati.
Did you mean while James White was at Florida?
@@ShotgunJoeTV your right i had it mixed up, i fixed it.
I like Demarr he was nice in college. Have u done Micheal Dickerson
Definitely Qyntel Woods, he had a nice stint with my Knicks but then fell off the face of the Earth. Also maybe Joe Smith, 1st overall pick in ‘95. Great vid by the way
This was a great one... he was another one that was expected to go straight from high school... after a spine surgery, I could see how he would be more cautious...that’s a scary thing to deal with...kinda like TJ Ford...
If you get a chance, I’d love to see a feature on Calbert Cheaney or Jamal Mashburn ... thanks bro
Yup. Scary! Got ya
Those Cincy unis were str8 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for this video. Throwback one of my fav hoopers
Im proud of this brother for his post career transition. He's also proof why young brothers need to make that leap when it's available. You can ALWAYS go back and get an education like this brother, but you can't always be a NBA lottery pick and you can't predict what can happen with and injury. They gotta get rid of that 1 and done rule and finally create a REAL minor league system like MLB and the NHL.
Do a video on Ronald DuPree. I went to school with him. He was 2yrs behind me. I don't think his growth was stunted, i think he was more of an over acheiver. When he was in 9th grade, we wouldn't let him play with us. 4yrs later he went to LSU. Then on to the NBA. Early 2000s
Countless stories and examples of talented Players with similar experiences. Piss poor College Coaching, exploitation, Self-destruction, poor family support along with the nature of the NBA business. Attitude is everything. Professional counseling can benefit everyone.
Welcome to WVU, hope you can use your experience to help this team DerrMarr.
Lloyd daniels is a must!!! Top 10 nyc baller ever!
I’ve got one for ya, a guy who was steadily improving then got stunted RODNEY STUCKY
Nice!
Hey bro a few suggestions on future stunted growth.. Khalid El Amin UCONN, Melvin Levett Cincinnati Bearcats, Alan Henderson Indiana Hoosiers, Randy Livingston LSU, Rashard Griffith Wisconsin
I remember DerMarr Johnson when he was playing for the Barako Bull team in the Philippines. I mean, I could understand that injuries and wrong circumstances have hampered him. But he would be good if he's playing in today's fast paced era.
JC you must have grew up near the DC, Baltimore area. The last few feature are all well know here in the area.
One of my all time favorite players. That 99 bearcat team is my favorite college team followed by the Jwill duke champs and Ben Gordon UConn. I first saw demarr when he was at Newport prep. Dude was f’n amazing, I was like 10 or something and remember it like he was yesterday. 6’9 pg and he was killing. Smh. Was way ahead of his time. Think Porter jr with a wicked crossover.
Great vid man, I feel your videos do so many things, but one of the obvious is that it gives us insight into how many people have played basketball at some of the highest levels, and that what we see now may have been glimpsed at before. Good stuff, if you see this i’d recommend Stephen Zimmerman, Chase Jeter, Katin Reinhardt.
The best way to look at the NBA draft from 2000 was that Brian Cardinal, a journeyman forward of middling skill with below average stats who was picked 44th overall ended up being far more productive than 80% of the players picked in the lottery that season.
"Could leave as a Junior in High School !!" As a player says a whole lot !
I nominate Chris Sky Walker from Florida. Was all world HS and expected to be a one and done lottery pick.
You should do a video on Kenny Satterfield
Ike Nwamu would be a good one to do. Crazy athletic and killer instinct... and then we never heard from him again.
U keep em coming bro. Better then 30 for 30 IMO
I actually saw him play in Auburn Maine when he attended a private school in Maine.
The center that went to Kentucky.....Him and Dwight Howard were the two talked about centers in the 04 or 05 draft...I think 04 draft... something Randolph Morris. Promising but lazy etc...,
Great work and greetings from germany
Definitely gotta do one on Shawn Respert of Michigan State Spartans, Cincinnati bearcats Danny Fortson, St. John’s Felipe Lopez
Rip Chris Williams we need Vid.
Love the videos man keep up the great work ... Jonathan Bender soon?
Please do Toby Bailey from UCLA!!!
Love these videos but hopefully one day we'll get to hear your story
Thank you man. That day is coming.
Darius Miles, Harold Minor, Joseph Forte, Bobby Hurley, Greg Oden
Do howard Nathan from Peoria illinois.. he was on hoop dreams. Dude was a legend back home n had a wild story
I use to always use demarr johnson aa my shooter in nba live 2005.
Another banger bro..... Detmarr was tough. 30k subs OTW. Gotta do Mark Karcher bro
It seems like Iverson was in every highlight
He owned A.I lol
Very good story on DeMarr.
One of my friends interviewed him a few weeks back. DJ was the truth. Big come back story. Started the PG pipeline. If you hoop you know.. much respect as always. Hawks always mess up. 05 they needed a pg had no.2 pick drafted marvin Williams when deron n CP were available. If you remember they already has Iso, Josh Childress, Josh Smith..smh
That's a fact! I remember that! That was a no brainer for them. Even recently with Luka. Trae is nice, but Luka is something else
@@stuntedgrowth cursed
@Jamal Vines I'm sure there were others b4 DJ. But I doubt there was anywhere as many as there is now in the League. It's literally every year now.
@Raw As I Could ok, which players. I know there were guys from PG in the league, but nothing like what were seeing now. Almost every year there is a guy from PG getting drafted.
@Raw As I Could respect. I always see Francis as a MO county guy.
he lived the dream much respect to him
was thinking the other day if you have already made a video of him..
Love your channel bro! Keep it going don’t stop
Would love to see Lionel Simmons or Mark Macon, great channel
I need you to do one of these about how i keep failing out of trade school
Those nuggets uni's was 🔥.
I thought he was garbage, but he proved himself. It's not about his place.
That Cincinnati team he played on was raw. If K-Mart doesn't get injured they probably beat Michigan State for the championship. If it hadn't been for the car accident he was well on his way to growing as a player. I want to say he'd be similar to Tracy McGrady or Kevin Durant before Kevin Durant.
I know Dermarr. I’ll have him hit you up.
Esshgeitt!
Good luck fam
Good content Q food reviews god bless
UC prospect. If you know how KD play that’s how DerrMarr played for the Bearcats. A fucking dawg
Can you do Anderson Hunt of UNLV? And Voshan Leonard? They both played at the same HS in Detroit Southwestern HS. Jalen Rose went to the same school..I'm from Detroit. Hunt went to UNLV and Leonard Minnesota
In the DMV area Demarr is revered
Ricky Davis?
#1 stunt: ball hog
Just had hops, that's it.
Greg oden,andrea bargnani,anthony bummett, michael olowokandi and menk bateer😂
Can you also Do Michael Tally he was Mr Basketball in Detroit went to Cooley HS.
Way ahead of his time. He was a 6’9 shooting guard
You should do one on Kenny Satterfield or Anthony Glover the y both played for Rice HS with Andre Barrett
He was a beast in 2k
I think if they’re not a slow big that can only score on post moves then you can say the first stunt about any player
stunted growth you should do Robert Pack a explosive PG that didn't pan out to be as good as he could have been
Pepe Sanchez Stunted Growth vid😁
That Nati team with him and K.Mart man smh, i figured 1 of them would get a ring. A 6'9 two guard is UNHEARD of he would dominate in this era smh. My favorite STUNTED GROWTH nba player of all time
That KJ Mcdaniels video is gonna be hear
Sean Williams from Boston College?
Boy, him, Kenyon Martin, Kenny Satterfield and PETE mickeal were the crew. If Kenyon didn't get injured, they would've beat Michigan State for the title
Yes sir!!! They had the squad 1999-2000 season, I often wonder how good they would've been in the tournament if Kenyon never got injured.
@@superhubbyreview7433 i think they would've went. Size, speed, shooting. They had only lost 2 games up until his injury. The senior leadership would've prevailed.
Tim Thomas maybe?
Do a stunted growth on jerry ice Reynolds please
Waiting on my Desean Butler & Chris Allen video SG
