  • Jermaine O'Neal could've been one of the best power forwards ever! In high school he developed into one of the best in the nation, Mr basketball, parade and McDonalds All American and sure fire dominant college player. Because of SAT problems, and feeling ready to help his family financially, he decided to forgo college and jump straight to the league.
    He struggled his first 4 seasons with Portland, as a sign that maybe physically he wasn't ready to become eventually what he would. Traded to Indiana, he took off and became what you know him to be today. But in 2004, when Indiana had its best team in a while, a brawl broke out between #benwallace and #ronartest that pretty much broke the team up and O'Neal's championship hopes were finished.
    He began to deal with injuries there after and became a shell of himself on the court.
    Off the court, he stepped into the business world and became just as successful as he was on the court or even more. Here's why his Growth was Stunted.

    As everybody knows, I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. In 1996, I was PUMPED when the Blazers drafted Jermaine O'Neal! I thought that he was going to be another Kevin Garnett! How quickly we as fans turn on guys. I was only 23 myself in 1996, and by 1999, I was calling him DNP-CNP: Did not play, because he cannot play. Now, here's the thing: I didn't like him as a Blazer, but I would have loved him as a SONIC. He could have been our starting small forward. I KNEW that Jermaine O'Neal would pan out!! Once he went to Indiana, he was averaging double figure points, and nice rebounding numbers, and on his way to All-Star appearances.

    Probably my favorite player featured on stunted growth. If not for him getting limited minutes in Portland and injuries I think he would've made at least a few All NBA First Teams and All NBA Defensive First Teams. He could've been a champion DPOY as well but I still think he had a good career and still think his number should be retired.

    I live in Dallas that Drive Nation facility is top notch believe him and Tmac doing something for HS kids now..he was a good no.2 option, being a no1 was too much for him. I think going out of HS was the best decision. Especially if he couldn't qualify academically. Meaning he would be prop 48/redshirt..he would've had to do at least 2 years in college then..Joe Smith I believe was the 1st real young guy since Magic/Zeke drafted no1 as Sophomores then..he probably would've went to a stack college like Carolina, Kentucky and been off the bench his freshman year. Leaving after his redshirt soph year. My main knock on JO was he shot too many jumpers for me. Otherwise in this dominate PF era he could be in conversation behind KG/tim/dirk.. very elite..

    If not for the malice, O’Neal would have at least one championship. Pacers need to stop disrespecting him and retire his number already

      Yep because Pacers were the best team in the east and was little better than the Spurs that year.

    Used to love playing with the Pacers on NBA 2K3 (or was it 2K2, or maybe it was Live 2002) and Jermaine O’Neal! He look weird without the headband and braids. Anyway, Tinsley, Reggie Miller, Stephen Jackson, Ron Ron, and JO were a great team.

    As an Indiana resident I'm a die hard Chicago Bulls fan but I loved watching the Pacers J.O. was the best PF in the east for a few years & they DEFINITELY would've won it all in 04-05 if it wasn't for The Malace In The Palace

    Hell no.he had a great career.better than many others in his time.i think like 5 or 6 all 🌟 with the pacers and they where competitive.he could score 20 plus and play defense on above average level.he was really effective.people talk about his shot selection etc but i look at the hard numbers and facts and he was no doubt a top pf or center in his time no doubt about it.
