John Wall recently ripped his old team - the Houston Rockets - on a podcast. He called his time there “trash” and brought up some serious red flags. If he’s correct it is seriously troubling for the young roster - but is he right? - กีฬา

Thank you.

W Vids keep grinding
it goes to show when Christian Wood left he was happy and has improved soooooo much on defense
I just looked up def box plus/minus metric and he is 5th worst center in the league with 2 of the players below him a 19 and 20 rookies. YEAH HE IS DOING AMAZING lol
@@josephham5216 Box plus minus is a team stats you casual. Mavs had arguable the worst bench in the entire NBA so it make sense for Wood to have bad plus minus since terrorist Kidd treat Wood as a 6th man more than the 2nd best player on the Mavs.
@@josephham5216 Proof positive that fans will make anything up to follow their narrative.
No he didn’t 😂😂
When I see Rockets plays, I know something is wrong. Young players are so full of themselves except Sengun. It looks like they only used Sengun whenever they have no options what to do with the ball and not so much offense running through him. Thats bad! I don't say that Sengun can be Jokic but at least Rockets should give him the opportunity what he can do as the 1st option. I think the closest Sengun can be is Domantas Sabonis, which also a very good player. Maybe now Sengun should find a team where he can burst out his full potential instead of only being a back up man whenever Jalen Green, Kevin Porter and Jabari Smith make mistakes.
What do you mean "full of themselves"
We got these Turkish nationalists shitting on the character of other rRocket players to prop up Sengun.
I love Sengun. Don't make me hate him as a Rocket fan because of your guys toxic personality and addiction to slandering guys like Green to prop of Sengun
Facts
Rockets fans don't want to admit that Jalen Green and Jabari Smith are failures. They aren't NBA washouts, but for drafting that high they ain't worth it. Rockets fans compare Jalen Green to a young Michael Jordan. I'm like bruh,....dude totally looks like Carmelo Anthony, just a dude that inconsistently scores and never wins anything.
@@John-ct9zs I see a Jalen Green as a really good wizards Nick Young.
Sengun needs to be traded
He's right, a lot of young players don't live up to their potential because teams just let their high draft picks do as they please without instilling fundamentals. You can have all the scoring talent in the world, but it doesn't matter if you never work on the little things. No one cares if you can score 25 if you can't play defense or make plays, teams would much rather have a less talented scorer that can play smart within a system and can put effort into the less glamorous aspects of the game.
Case in point Minnesota Timberwolves
@Larry James they only raise divas in Minnesota LaVine, Wiggins, D Lo, KAT
Good statement!!!
I am european
I love the NBA for a lot of things
But this draft thing is horrible for me
Is like give more money to the worst employe of a company
Nosense
Promoting not do it well
😊p😊😊
The only reason Sengun is averaging just 3 assists is because his teammates are throwing bricks
That or jalen green and kevin porter are playing iso ball too damn much
sengun sucks man. 🤣 not alethic for a traditional bigman. 🤣

Yes

Sengun definetly looks the guy the rockets should build around.
Building around someone means he's good enough to become the best player on a championship caliber team. As promising as he's been he ain't that good
@@sonik6892
Rockets are in rebuild mode. Of course he's not that good right now. The whole team isn't.
@@sonik6892 He's been good tf you talking about.
@@bignoob24 Do you have reading and comprehension problems? I literally said he's good I'm just saying he's not a number 1 guy on a championship team good. He lacks the size to be as dominant as Jokic. He ain't got elite shooting touch or athleticism. He could be like a Sabonis type of all star.
@@sonik6892 Regardless they should still build around him just so that he is their focus on development. When the offense runs through him they score more efficiently than when KPJ and Green randomly jack up shots. He is a rookie. Eric Gordon needs to be benched as well. He is washed.

7:26 surprising mistake to see from you. Butler was traded there and left in free agency to Miami (which was his 2nd free agency, he signed 5 year rookie max in Chicago which ended on philly), technically via sign and trade. But he joined via trade, he had them on his list but calling him free agent who joined is a stretch. The other big free agent outside JJ that they managed to get was Horford.
The point of Casey saying that was to show that stars wanted to go to Philly, and Butler having them on his list proves that
Mo
They want to go there
Then just they didnt figure out how to use him and leave
I always like how one of this guy video leads you to another of his video. Great content my brother 👏🏿 👌🏿 👍🏿 🙌🏿 🙏🏿
John wall wanted to win n the rockets wanted to rebuild
In this interview he says he found out he was traded from Westbrook telling em "they wanna trade for me but u dnt wanna leave"
8:13 who doesn't miss John Wall's prime years? 💯🏀🔥
Still with all his injuries, John Wall fleeced nba franchises with wizards contract.
As a Wizards fan Wall is my fav player, always respected him.
everyone in dc loves wall
I love wall to death man
Great vid, when’s the longer deep dive thing coming out?
The rockets GM isn't putting their guys in position to win. They should be all on Green and Sengun. They got so many guys other team would want they are just tanking away. They should look a lot different this time next season with older players.
we are a young team tanking for talent, john wall doesnt have the long term potential to fit on the rockets we are currently trash and looking towards the future and he isnt the future. good luck to him on teams that are looking at the present, us rockets arent.
The issue though is you need those guys on the team. If you don't have any vets on the team then the young guys can't learn from them which actually hurts their development
@@Cbrunning849no offense to john i loved him on the wizards but jalen green is already better than him and he barely won playoff games in his prime he isnt the vet we needed
@@Cbrunning849 76ers didn’t have vets when they was drafting number 1-3 every year for 5-6 years they look pretty good to me, of course everyone not going to work out if green don’t or smith don’t cool we rebuilding but it definitely to early to say
@@randomguy6152 I agree he acting like whn he was playing with the rockets we was a playoff team😂😂
Bros voice cracks🤣 great video as always
He’s 100% right, Houston is embarrassing and pathetic as an organization right now and the last three years. Zero improvement at all…. not like improvement to change the whole direction of the team, literally can’t even improve a slight tiny bit from the absolute gutter of the league, the history of the league too not just right now, over three full years. The worst part of it is the terrible roster construction and how awful the culture of this team is. It’s laughable
Casey, are you talking about Dejounte Murray interview talking about the Spurs as well?👀
(Stephen Jackson podcast)
I’m talking about 28-3 and how it affects your health and wellbeing u ok my guy?
Monday
John Wall fan here, all this facts until the end. He is still a force I this league and has been playing well.
Idk about force in the league
Damn...! Which Pod was this?
I really think the problem is the GM. The young guys are shackled. If the GM says tank, the coach follows and the players tank. I still remember Silas should be good (was good with Luka) and was hired to coach Harden but it fell apart because Harden wanted out right before Silas gets the opportunity to actually coach. No matter how fast your car is, if the driver sucks, u wont break records and that driver is Rafael Stone! The only GM that sits right next to players and coach in interviews, might be scared they say something he dont like. I also remember he was sitting right next to Wall during the interview and Wall behaved like a confused and scared sheep during the interview.
In Sengun the rockets must trust the process building around him 🙏🏻🫡
You gotta pick right have injury luck and build a culture...what the 76ers showed you is you can just take the best player period. 3 straight cs you have to have a balance between best player and team fit.
Lol James was like you wanna come bro?? 😂😂
Exactly the point on why did the wolves gave away 5 first round picks for Gobert. They couldn't draft the right players. KAT and Ant were the lucky bunch.
They also drafted zach Lavine and wiggins, but failed to develop them
"In EUROPEEE" that took me out 🤣🤣
Whenever Wall is speaking i'm like what ? Is this even english ? :D
5:21 there's no point of James Harden going back to the Rockets if the newest front office members are just gonna dictate the whole franchise 🤯👀
AM Hoops having a baby and not telling me has left me shaken up 2:48
Thanks, pretty much agree with all of this and yes, straight up doesn't seem to be the way towards building a contender
It's just that why are you revisioning nba history? "...free agents like...Jimmy Butler..." signing with Sixers. Cut this crap. He got traded there for half a season from Twolves and then he left them for Miami. I get your point but stop spreading false truths for your arguments sake, you can do better here
Congrats on the baby
You can do the same video about the Houston Texans
the fertitta family rabbit hole is a fascinating one
I get your point about the sixers but Butler was traded there not signed as a free agent…. Just a thing I need to point out to help me sleep at night
Congrats on the new baby
As a Rockets fan I feel terrible for myself as well.
John wall not the same player he use to be with all the injuries that happened to him it is unfortunate but not every one is able to come through tough injuries it hard to be a pro with tall the pressure that surrounds you and the attention they receive. And the constant pain they have to go through to fight for respect and to fight for wins is not the easy being a pro. And it comes with a lot of challenges and responsibilities, with tough lessons. It comes with so much drama and other emotions. It is emotionally game to play and it takes your mental understanding of the game to be
Something great along side with risks, and it is all about having strong motivation to do something that no one thinks you can do. About learning from your mistakes and getting outside your comfort being Able adapt to the pro league environment it takes you being locked in and holding your self to a accountable. And you have to be willing to sacrifices for the team to find a way to make a difference by helping them win. And it takes trust and confidence to be successful.
Eric Gordon now the face of the "They are the same picture" meme
Rockets fans don't want to admit that Jalen Green and Jabari Smith are failures. They aren't NBA washouts, but for drafting that high they ain't worth it. Rockets fans compare Jalen Green to a young Michael Jordan. I'm like bruh,....dude totally looks like Carmelo Anthony, just a dude that inconsistently scores and never wins anything.
He’s back
Fasho needa talk about dejounte
wall ain’t lying tho
I herd new baby congrats bro
I am a Rockets fan since we were a real team. I hope to see that sometime in the far future again.
“In the far far future”, u have nothing going on with green and kevin
I agree :( those are bench players in any other team. However, we have to keep Sengun.
@@jorgeumanavargas Sengun is definitely a keeper
HTOWN will eventually just have to do better with the draft picks and stop listening to espn on who should go top 1-2-3-4 and do their own homework
I wanna see John Wall coach an NBA team one day
✈️✈️✈️
why? lmao, he's not even a good leader. He punks his lesser talented teammates as if he can carry him. He's toxic.
Lets go Heat 🔥
A great example of this is Christian wood. Always thought of as a virus or a curse in the locker room and someone who has attitude problems until he was traded away from the rockets
He did have attitude he felt like he was the Rockets franchise player😂😂he can’t do tht in Dallas
Damn I hope John Wall find team where he can hoop
LMAO welcome back to Rockets!!😂😂😂
Good vid
crazy how you still havent talked about the denver nuggets
bro the guy the sixers picked 25th over kuzma at 27 is such a hindsight take
as a basketball youtuber you of all people should know late draft picks are a roll of the dice
you don’t even have to go to the twenties… history has proven that it’s basically a complete crapshoot after the first seven or eight picks each year
Welcome back tank commander! 😂
I'm hard on the Rockets and Rockets fans, because I AM a ROCKETS FAN. I knew Tillman Fertitta was weasley little troublemaker the moment he bought the team. And I can't stand all these high school and college age Rockets fans that insist Jalen Green is a future Michael Jordan.
@Larry James jalen green meatrider fr
@Larry James and all that also applies to jgreen
Everything John wall said was on point, rockets need from build a culture.
Paolo is happy he didn’t end up there!
You remind me so much of Steve Kerr 🤣
I’ve watched every rockets game this season and in the minutes given Tari > Bari. Not saying they should start Tari over bari but they need to split their minutes more equally. Did you guys know Tari has some of the biggest hands in the league!
This past combine he was the only player to measure with 11 inch width hands. For reference, Kawhi Leonard measured at 11.25, and is known for his enormous hands. 7'2 wingspan at 6'8 with great athleticism
Jimmy butler was traded to the 76 he wasn't a free agent
Congratulations on the new kid
Is Am Hoops your real name?
Update video?
Jaylen Brown next video A.M. Hoops 🙏🙏🙏
Sengun the player of that franchise.
Justin Patton isn't even close being the best big men in Europe 😅
The problem is rewarding loosing for draft odds. The solution, every team out ouf the playoffs has the same odds in the lottery
As a rockets fan this is frustrating
This is excruciating, and I feel awful for Eric Gordon now, I hope he finds a new home as soon as possible.
EG been playing like ass lately too. He doesn't give a fuck right now. Not his fault tho.
Wall speaking a lot of truth but also is salty Houston just viewed him as money going out. In his head I think he still thinks people should treat him like prime wall in Washington.
I would only get a good scored get that cann't play defence if they are tray young.
Hoops needs to hit the gym bro. Bro the gym is what you need bro.
If it comes to Sixers, one bad move less and they could be champs not even once : Give the contract to Jimmy instead of Harris.Just imagine this year roster with Maxey,Harden,Embiid and Butler, that's like 3 players from Top 20-30 in the league and Maxey is propably around top 50 too.
The process if it comes to draft.. it worked, but winning chips is not just a good draft, look at Thunder drafting 3 MVPs within 3 years.
and now he is back to rocket again
why people keep criticising front office for drafting wrong player but not criticising high draft pick for not putting the hard work to reach their potential.
Dude, I think I was at that 52 point game!
The problem with John was his lifestyle.
All star starter who is now constantly injured 3rd choice guard.. not many managed to achieve that but Derrick Rose did too, Blake Griffin..
Tanking has never truly worked
Spurs got Duncan that way...so I'd have to disagree.
Tanking by an incompetent franchise*
@@alfredogonzalez7250 The Spurs or Rockets?
@@ericmausbach1808 Spurs are competent
@alfredogonzalez7250 We'll see...I've been a Rockets fan since the late 80's, they've gone through hard times before. Everybody likes to overreact to things...dumping on HOU is trendy right now. The reason the Rockets are in the spot they're in is because of Harden, and they were forced to rebuild...the Paul trade was because of Harden. I think after this next draft, they need to get a new coach, and some guys that can develope players and they'll be alright. I'd like to have Van Gundy or Mark Jackson...they got the most out of their players, and got them playing hard on defense.
The Rockets are in that bad of a place honestly. They have plenty of cap-space this summer, 2 potential franchise players in Jalen Green and Alperen Snegun, plus the highest odds currently at Victor. John Wall is just airing out dirty laundry. Come back in a year and if there are still a dumpster fire then I will agree and move on. However, we have to see the process through before we can bash it
I agree with Wall take! Rebuild can't be - young players jacking up random shots. They need to be hold accountable for they decisions on the court. That's how developing comes.
Rockets should be playing thru sengun and jabari, but for tanking reasons they rather let the two ball hogs, kpj and jalen green, continue to jack up awful contested shots 🤢🤮
@Larry James 1st FG% - 2nd Shooting Efficiency - 5th MPG - 3rd PPG in his team, "He has the ball but can't do nothing with it " . We all know he is good on offensive side except from 3pt line, u cant say he is bad. For defensive, I m agree with u
Some player facts you said were actually incorrect 😂
Wall's problem is that he still thinks he's something special...that he's relevant. The Rockets traded for him, in order to get a 1st round pick and get something in return for Westbrook's contract...and there were no other options. I mean, nobody wanted Westbrook, and the Wizards traded Wall and a #1 for a guy no one wanted....what does that say about Wall's value at the time? Rockets and Wizards traded for each other's problem child. Wall and Russ were both demanding trades. Did ya think the Rockets were gonna build a team around you Mr. Wall? Plus, Wall could have opted out of the last year of his contract, but the money was more important to him, than playing basketball. Can't blame him for that, but that was his choice...I don't feel sorry for his rich ass. He got basically 90 million to do nothing...that's most people's dream. So, shut your mouth, and go enjoy your money...and quit crying about what you did to yourself...enjoy retirement or being a bench player. If he doesn't understand that teams that are in rebuilding mode purposefully tank, than he's pretty stupid.
The way she spoke about Houston, looks like Wall might be done
Eric Gordon saying there is no improvement says a lot
Free Tari Eason and Sengun! I hate when teams don’t utilize their young talent especially in the position the rockets are in where they are clearly not chasing wins. Tari is a rookie and is already better than most guys on the team but Silas gives him no minutes. This was the case with Sengun too, until recently where the coaching staff decided to pull their heads out of their asses and actually let bro ball out. Frustrating when you clearly aren’t competing for wins but at the same time not allowing your young guns to develop early
Yea jimmy butler didnt go to 76ers as a FA
