So was Morey. I’m not trying to be too political but it is funny how players and the league will support things like the BLM movement (makes sense, most players are black and it’s happening in the United States) but say nothing about China because it will affect the league’s bottom line. The league is basically sending the message that you can be politically active, but don’t be “too” (wink wink) politically active.
Craig Hodges was blackballed after he won a 3rd 3 point contest, came back and competed without a team, he was outspoken in a wrong time. He would have been an off court leader these days.
I remember the Leonard incident. I was watching the stream to support since I was in the FaZe comp and FaZe clan was hyping him up. That day I was watching and the moment that word left his mouth I just knew it was over. Even FaZe Clan cut ties with him
@ yeah I agree he definitely knew it was a slur and how he said it and quick it left his mouth during that stream gave off the vibe that he’s definitely said it many times. I can’t lie, I so disappointed because I enjoyed watching his streams
The only thing Boogie had going for himself, was his productivity. Once his productivity got cut in half, organizations are left with an immature/bad attitude player…. who they can’t count on to be a (positive) influential veteran in the locker room
That’s what I thought too. Him playing for the Nuggets and being pretty good wasn’t mentioned at all, which is pretty annoying. As far as I can remember they didn’t resign him for their championship season because of knee issues.
That is an excellent point bro. dudes can beat on a woman and the nba does nothing but say one racial slur (which I definitely don't agree with) and your gone for good. They should keep the same energy and ban both but clearly one affects the pockets and the other doesn't

38:34 "His career was in Jeopardy" Cousins could have set himself and his family up with at least a small fortune incase basketball AFTER the Pelicans turned into what it did. Even AFTER the injury the Pelicans offered him a 2 year 40 million dollar deal and he turned it down. Instead like you said he signed a 1 year 5 million dollar deal with the warriors I guess betting on himself to land a big contract after that year. That was just a mistake. His reputation already has prevented any team from wanting to do that so him thinking that could happen made no sense. Dude could have been 35 million dollars richer had he just taken the Pelicans offer. Just a dumb decision especially considering he could have used those 2 years to really showcase that he's still a top dawg in the league since obviously he would have been used as a focal point along side AD instead of just being an after thought on a stacked Warriors team. Bro really thought he was gonna get a max deal from someone. Oh well.
Boogie didnt blackball himself. He brought grit to the game while dominating. I’d be pissed too dropping 25 and 12 year after year for a 8 ppg Deandre Jordan to keep getting voted all star .
Yeah I would have loved to see Boogie be that big bad wolf he had the potential to be but he could not get out of his own way. Great talent. Not a team sport guy
It's tourettes. He was diagnosed and medicated. If you can, find video of him playing during Ramadan. He went all out with fasting and would not take his medication during Ramadan. He could be seen on the bench at times clearly unable to control the ticks, twitching and his facial muscles.
Idc what anyone say about Dion but he's one of the reason i'm a Heat fan after post-superteam era we are supposed to be a lottery team but i think Heat Culture start right there especially that 2016-17 i will never forget that 11-30 start then Dion Waiters having that Jimmy-like switch and play like a superstar and having a win-loss like 21-5 as number 1 option and avg like 20-5-5 while shooting clutch shot every game then he got injured but the Heat end up with 41-41 record and not making the playoffs but one of core memory as Heat fan💯
Interesting fact about meyers Leonard: he actually had a 50/40/90 season with the blazers in his second to last year with them. He only made the qualified number of total shot attempts by a few and going into his last game he needed to go 1/2 from three and to do it and he did.
Superb writing and presentation. Appreciate your professional approach to the subject and the nuances of the situations that all of these men either created or faced.
Possibly true to some. But he should have included a lot of disclaimers when sharing his opinions: disclaimers stating that this only represents his personal views and has nothing to do w the NBA.
Chris Jackson w/ shaq & Stanley Roberts ( shaq even said SR was kore talented than himself) has to be the best 3 on a colege team to not make final 4 Edit - im sure their might he better big3 on a ncaa team , i just can't think of any -duke?( Lattner, hurley, Ghill- yes they made final4 , but thats a quality big3) - unlv ( larry J, augman, anthony ?) that LSU team reminds me of that ok st fball team w/ Thurman thomas starting rb & barry Sanders as a backup or the Mississippi st team w/ aj brown & Metcalf as wrs - those are tandems , but w/ both of those teams w/ those 2 elite players didnt come close to winning anything, ikno ikno ikno winning @ fball much different than bball w/ ha ing 2 great players ( in LSU case its 3 )
Ngl i completely agree with Kanter, yes he was God awful on defense but the nba definitely sold him and Morey out. Teams just said he wasnt worth it to lost all that China money
Watching Anthony Edwards now is watching Isiah Rider in his prime!!! The only difference is that Edwards takes his physical training more serious, but their game is identical.
Royce White’s shooting was Enes Freedom’s lack of defense. Controversial players would could be productive but had something that also didn’t help their case. Their styles of play also aged out for where the league was going. So with Royce white, his phobia for flying didn’t end up being worth what he could contribute to the team.
i like how for every other story you tried to stay neutral (supposedly), not giving any opinion on Kanters activism or even the reason why Rauf sat for the anthem, but then for Meyers Leonard you start complaining about "cancel culture" where unlike Kanter & Rauf he said something bigoted. mine you i think he should've gotten a proper second chance too
The warriors acting like DEMARCUS COUSINS is a problem when they've been paying and supporting Draymond Green all this time is LAUGHABLE what a disgusting organization that literally ruined the sport
Cousins was a beast with great technic. His performance-wise dominance and also his predatory attitude was something to watch. Btw, somehow, kings has some great battles each time they met prime GSW.
He cheated to the Spurs in the playoffs. Last play of the game as he was passing it in he REACHED OVER THE LINE FROM OUT OF BOUNCE to shove Manu to make space to pass.. The Spurs were in such shock that a whistle wasn't blown i blew the whole play into chaos, and Spurs lost.
Guaranteed money is killing the NBA. They really need to do away with it. It's human nature to just quit once tour financially (generationally) set. Not everyone has an MJ or Kobe mindset.
Non guaranteed money will have a player who risks career ending injuries just to be broke it’s actually criminal. Thats why I genuinely never watch football.
Enes Kanter for sure talk shit about LeBron and that’s what got him out the league He was playing decent minutes on a team and then he talked shit about LeBron and Nike and he got kicked out of the league.
I think the term mental health was used for the rockets advantage. I never heard John Maddens fear of flying referred as mental health issue. They just bought him a bus. And payed him about 15 million a year.
Waiters made 67 million thru his b.s. BB stint!! And at 32 he has or should have been good financially, So what's his problem,he should have enough money for him and a few generations if he uses it right!! People are silly AF
Imo basketball is the best sport by far, but the league that represents it gotta be the most hypocritical sport out of them all bru😭. They support all this social issues and wtv tf but let a player speak abt China in any negative way and they’ll doing the most cringy press conference ever. I’ll never forget Harden saying he loves China for no fucking reason.
That China Situation was crazy ,the Dems and Republicans attacked and agreed on something together. I was shocked and a little scared for the nba cause you don't see that shit every day 😅
Crazy how off-court issues derailed such talented careers. Dion Waiters and Boogie Cousins had all the talent, but it shows attitude matters. Which story shocked you the most?
I grew up stupid in a small town and said all types of slurs out of ignorance. I learned that maybe talking like that is not good the hard way, too. Leonard seems like he made amends and learned, which is all people should expect when someone says something hateful, especially for a young man in his position. Just bc you're an NBA player doesn't mean you can get away with it. Unless you're Kobe, no disrespect.
if you're a public figure, you should know not to say a slur in public--and probably shouldn't say it all anyway. "i'm too dumb to know" isn't an excuse when you're in the public eye.
@@slightexag I doubt he didn't know it was a slur and I'm glad he was held to task. Some people don't really know the severity of that slur specifically and need to learn why it's unacceptable. It's pretty well known NBA locker rooms are pretty nasty, but you can't be carrying that outside with you if you're unfortunately part of it.
In what world were brooks and Trier blackballed. Brooks was never good and left the league and then came back w Grizz w a multi year contract. Trier wasn’t drafted yet still got run w the Knicks. And has bounced around the g league. Thats not being blackballed.
Dion's nickname was "kobewade".. and it was more tongue in cheek, than something that anyone (including waiters) took seriously.. dions out of the league due to injuries.. piece of bone from his hip was used in his ankle surgery. We forget, he was on the Lakers for the bubble run (nickname then was philly cheese).. his game was different due to the injury.. zero explosiveness and couldn't really get by defenders. Wasnt the same.. that's why he s not on a roster.. if you're truly good, you get picked up.
All of these cases were unfair for the most part. Rauf was a problem basketball wise in the league but he was openly anti patriotic. He would be a legend in Todays social climate. But still unfair. Jr rider was banned because he smoked bud which is legal today in most parts. They also added “kidnapping his SON” lmaooo. That was clearly bm drama. Unfair to him. Kanter situation similar to rauf. Opinion differs from the current agenda so it’s a casualty.nba shouldn’t be religious colorist racist at all and just because people think differently they shouldn’t be shushed. The people can formulate an opinion on their own. Boogie is an all nba super draymond. The kings could not handle him.
The fact you know his name but continued to call him Chris numerous times shows your lack of respect for ppl and their beliefs. I'm not even Muslim and I found this highly disrespectful.
No symapthy for Waiters. He screwed up and realizing it in retrospect makes him look worse in many ways considering how many chances he got in his ball playing career.
Once boogie stopped being good, the league realized they didn't want to deal with his attitude
He can still play just not how he use to bro was a nightmare in the paint but I feel like he has a few more seasons in him

I grew up stupid in a small town and said all types of slurs out of ignorance. I learned that maybe talking like that is not good the hard way, too. Leonard seems like he made amends and learned, which is all people should expect when someone says something hateful, especially for a young man in his position. Just bc you're an NBA player doesn't mean you can get away with it. Unless you're Kobe, no disrespect.
if you're a public figure, you should know not to say a slur in public--and probably shouldn't say it all anyway. "i'm too dumb to know" isn't an excuse when you're in the public eye.
@@slightexag I doubt he didn't know it was a slur and I'm glad he was held to task. Some people don't really know the severity of that slur specifically and need to learn why it's unacceptable. It's pretty well known NBA locker rooms are pretty nasty, but you can't be carrying that outside with you if you're unfortunately part of it.
It doesn’t take a genius to know that calling people names is wrong. And stupid. Little kids know that without being told.
And yet now the current NBA is all for not standing for the national anthem
Things change.
@@actionjackson4982 Stop lying MAGA they all stand for tha racist anthem
@@hoodywalker7173 not a lie. things change. things change all of the time.
Cause maybe the anthem is ya know racist 😂
Nationalist songs, slogans, and salutes have a very sketchy history
Mark Jackson needs a whole hour episode at least...
Love your videos
Dude earned 67M from his NBA career so I wouldn’t worry too much about his financial situation
Want about Shareff Abdul-Raheem since we talking about M. Abul-Rauf
Cousins is the rudest UK player and NBA player and possibly the rudest I have ever met.
Bruh never seen someone get blackballed like Josh Primo, incomplete list
You forgot to mention that the lakers also took a chance on boogie
I like Dion Waiters. He had a stroke & he got a ring.
Can someone explain how to Dion was coming off the bench in college but became a top pick?
Royce White´s biggest problem was that he couldn´t package his message in an comedic way like Bill Burr for example.
He considers himself a brilliant intellectual 😂
Why does isaiah rider and kanye west look eerily identical
I gave you a like because you indirectly mentioned Rondo.
Being good isn't good enough
yes, guns can be forgiven, lasers by posse can be forgiven but a real apology cannot
weirdly forgiving for meyers leonard
Meh he said one word , athletes say much worse - ML is wht that's why he got punished
pelicans offered boogie a 2 year extension but he declined it and signed with the warriors
I’m surprised waiters atleast admits it’s his fault and hasn’t told himself a lie
Meyers Leonard is based for saying that he did nothing wrong neither did Kyrie. It is the tiny hats not cancel culture.
To quote UTree, "The Chinese Overloads did not like that."
Tyreke Evans, OJ Mayo are the main ones for me.
Marshon Brooks, Allonzo Trier are some less notable ones.
In what world were brooks and Trier blackballed.
Brooks was never good and left the league and then came back w Grizz w a multi year contract.
Trier wasn’t drafted yet still got run w the Knicks. And has bounced around the g league. Thats not being blackballed.
@ ok
Dion's nickname was "kobewade".. and it was more tongue in cheek, than something that anyone (including waiters) took seriously.. dions out of the league due to injuries.. piece of bone from his hip was used in his ankle surgery. We forget, he was on the Lakers for the bubble run (nickname then was philly cheese).. his game was different due to the injury.. zero explosiveness and couldn't really get by defenders. Wasnt the same.. that's why he s not on a roster.. if you're truly good, you get picked up.
All of these cases were unfair for the most part. Rauf was a problem basketball wise in the league but he was openly anti patriotic. He would be a legend in Todays social climate. But still unfair. Jr rider was banned because he smoked bud which is legal today in most parts. They also added “kidnapping his SON” lmaooo. That was clearly bm drama. Unfair to him. Kanter situation similar to rauf. Opinion differs from the current agenda so it’s a casualty.nba shouldn’t be religious colorist racist at all and just because people think differently they shouldn’t be shushed. The people can formulate an opinion on their own. Boogie is an all nba super draymond. The kings could not handle him.
I miss this guy why isn’t he on 2k 🤦🏽♂️
I got blackballed once
32:43 Four illegal cell phones? Illegal phones? Um...what?
The fact you know his name but continued to call him Chris numerous times shows your lack of respect for ppl and their beliefs. I'm not even Muslim and I found this highly disrespectful.
No symapthy for Waiters. He screwed up and realizing it in retrospect makes him look worse in many ways considering how many chances he got in his ball playing career.
Not worse lmao at least he grew up. Lots of ppl never actually grow up and mature.
There’s no way to look worse from acknowledging your own failures.
What are you even saying?
@@blaynomax yeah that was one of the dumbest things i have ever read
