- Of course he wasn't. At no point in today’s feature’s ammeter career did anyone think he would only last 5 seasons in the league. Did his head coach sabotage his NBA future, Or was it his agent? Was he not good enough? Or was playing on teams with 2 of the greatest ever at his positions something he couldn’t compete with? Many questions about Dennis Hopson’s career, but one thing we know for sure is as a top 3 pick in the NBA draft, you’re thought of as a future franchise cornerstone piece and seen as an immediate impact player who has the potential to change the team he goes to. Dennis Hopson at 3 didn’t shock too many at the time of the 1987 NBA draft, seeing as he was coming off an historic college career that lasted 4 years, saw him score back to back 20ppg seasons with his final season being top 2 in ppg in the nation. He finished his collegiate career as Ohio State’s all time leading scorer with 2096 career points. A record that still stands for the school to this day almost 40 years later. He’s most famously known for having been drafted before a few notable players in NBA History. Names like Mark Jackson, Reggie Miller, Kevin Johnson, Kenny Smith and of course Scottie Pippen, drafted just 2 picks later. Hopson would actually play with Scottie on the Bulls later on, where it was clear, that draft pick was a mistake. But many things had happened by that point, that affected his play on the Bulls not to mention being at the same position as not only the greatest player to ever play the game, but equally the most fierce competitor. Was he Jordan's practice punching bag? Was He Jordan's Punching Bag? DENNIS HOPSON Stunted Growth!

Do You Remember Dennis Hopson? Did Being traded to the Bulls Hurt His Growth?
Great video first player with stunted growth due to the coaches and his agent Phil Jackson could have made him the 6th man instant offense along with Bj Armstrong.
What?!!! I've been requesting him forever!!! Good looking, JC!!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Next thing you know, you'll continue this 80's series with players like Chris Corchiani/Rodney Monroe (Fire & Ice), Damon Bailey and Scotty Thurman!!!
Stunted growth I would love to see a stunted growth video on Mark Price, someone who could of been one of the GOAT PGs
This cat??....man if mental toughness could keep you from getting shot?...he wouldn't stand a chance...this dude was the pervebial shizz nahee...But JORDAN just made him mush... people can blame MJ..but MJ said something I thought was so poiniant...I GO AT A GUY TO SEE HOW MUCH HEART HE GOT... BECAUSE IF HE CAN'T TAKE IT FROM ME?... WHAT'S HE GONNA DO AGAINST THE BAD BOY PISTONS...OR THEM 80s Celtics?...he is a prime of example of getting your way in college...got the green light when he was drafted...if he had some heart??...he could've be pretty good...but shoot...80s shooting guards were a different animal than today's two's...I'm from OHIO...and I remember him at O STATE Killin em...but it was sad to see that he wilted like that ..
I have heard from reporters that Dennis Hopson was a gentleman and professional.
Which may be why he became Jordan’s punching bag.
I remember buying basketball cards back in the day and this dude was in damn near every pack
😂😂😂 him and Jim Les
Funny how both Hopson and Brad Sellers were both Bulls after starring at OSU -- and both got chewed up and spit out in short order.....
Yes...I said that exact same thing... But how can not one but two dudes from the same school flame out...on the same team?...Jordan hated these guys because JERRY KRUASE thought they were they missing links to a Chip...
This may be my NEW favorite. Used to play with dude on Bulls vs Lakers on the Genesis when MJ got in foul trouble (LOL). Wondered what happened to his career.
Great job my guy.
Jumping around on basketball reference brought me here
Do The 1985 Memphis state Tigers Final Four Team…After reaching the 1985 final four,tragedy and trouble caused the downfall of the 1985 Memphis state tigers…
PLSSSSSS
Memphis state as they was called back in the days
@@228allday yes absolutely…Memphis state my bad on the spelling error..
Can't nobody be a punching bag unless they let it happen
That's a fact
@@stuntedgrowth Love your channel bro keep up the good work. I have a request can you do one on Marshawn Brooks maybe you did already but I can't find it
@@Bsfnelz20 yeah he did th-cam.com/video/kKMtFLRxjPk/w-d-xo.html
@@DMVBLACK thanks
Yep. MJ tried to do that to Bill Cartwright til Cartwright jacked him up and threatened to break both of his legs. 😄 He also tried that with Robert Parrish. Chief(who’s a whole black belt by the way) shut that down quick. Told MJ “I got rings to. I’m not enamored with you like the rest of these guys.”
I don't think he was MJ's Punching bag, But having to play behind MJ was a stunt on his career. I was happy when the bulls traded for him but only getting 4 minutes a Game sucks. Having a thirsty agent was a stunt on his career salute to Dennis Hopson he still a NBA Champion
Man...JORDAN broke this dude... please believe me when I say...this cat wouldn't even take a shot when he did get in the game..you get moved out the rotation to the point they had to get RON HARPER?...sheesh
@@michaelcarlock5493 You entitled to your perspective.I seen all the Games he played in a bulls uniform "(Chicago's Very Own WGN) 🤷🏾♂️ It's hard to get a Rhythm when you only average 4 Minutes a game
@@michaelcarlock5493 Check The Facts Dennis Hopson played for the bulls in the 1990 91 season Ron Harper Came to the bulls in 1994 Man.... Sheesh LMAO stay smooth playa
@@Dantana773 uhh...read what I said ..they had to get a back up..what do you mean?...I realize that HARP came later...but...I digress
@@Dantana773 with that being said ..WHY WAS HE AVERAGING ONLY 4 minutes?...ok...so you seen him play..but that's not what I'm talking about ..I seen him at O STATE...I seen him play for the NETS...he had every opportunity to prove he could be a great player...but then you get to the BULLS and you can only get 4 minutes?.. that's all I'm HARPIN ON..pun intended
Dude another solid video. I remember growing up and having way too many Dennis hopson basketball cards.
Lol me too!
Yea I had a handful myself 1 of them he was with the kings .lol
I love that beat on this channel!!
Good job
I remember him..with the Nets
I would have bet my life I knew every player from the championship Bulls teams and was blown away to see this guy in the team photo for either the '91 or '92 team.....he looks like he doesn't even belong with the rest of the guys, they are all such iconic players, and then there's just this guy wearing #2 standing to the side who I've never seen in my life
2 additional stunts for him based on watching this:
1st. Self-awareness and accountability-look when you are repeatedly traded as a bench player, recognize and adjust your game. Additionally, when a new coach comes in, recognize you need to become exceptional at what you do because they are looking for reasons to get rid of you
2nd. Greatness comes to those who fight through discomfort-he aint have that dawg in him. That is ok-until you become a top 3 lottery pick
DO KEON CLARK NEXT!!!!!
I don’t remember him at all. But this video was sad to watch. He was a pretty good player. Wish things turned out better for him. The coach and his agent did him a disservice.
He was a very good player
Solid as always, my guy. Salute
I know Hopson personally from osu & he was somewhat over rated bc of his 29 pts a game there. He was in the perfect situation. Similar 2 jammer ferdette Hop was given the green light as the #1 option. No one one on the team really was an offensive threat. I kind of remember a guy name Jay Burson putting up pts after Hopson left. There wasn't much talent on those osu teams back then. On a normal buckeye team with more talent, he probably would have averaged 18 - 22 pts a game which would have probably placed him in the middle of the 1st round. I remember him shooting a lot of mid range j's, not very many 3 pointers. Hop had some very long arms which suited him perfectly in college. U say he was very athletic but long arms add 2 one's vertical which can b a misnomer. It can add as many as 2 or 3 inches 2 one's vertical. Barkley had long arms, s Kemp had long arms, dr j, connie Hawkins had long arms. Thanks 4 the info. I didn't know that part about his agent. I just thought he washed out. Masterful video,, keep up the exceptional work Last time I talked 2 him, he owned a construction company & had a bunch of dump trucks in Ohio. He is down to earth & a good person
Great points!
Interesting story. Never heard of him.
Had the extreme green light in college
Never would get that in the league
It’s a mixed bag with Hopson. I’ll never forget when he slapped the piss out of John Starks during a game so he’s forever cool in my book
I watch/ let ads play just to help My Dude get paid. Salute brotha.
I was in 4th, 5th grade watching Hopson at Ohio State... he was unbelievable... like something I hadn't seen on a basketball court.
Dennis was on the Vintage Ballers podcast here on TH-cam a couple months ago!
reggie williams could be one too he was a beast at georgetown in the 80`s
Charles Smith as well that was my guy, and the Hoyas was my team growing up.
Nobody got along with Bill Fitch. I doubt his mother liked him.
Wow. Brilliant channel video. I still have that Dennis Hopson NJ Nets basketball card. Was a diehard Bulls fan and was looking for him to come in and contribute. As a middle schooler I didn't appreciate what it was like to play with Michael or how important a comfortable environment is for a player.
Great work as usual Bro. Don't stop.
bro that thumbnail looks like frank nitty
Hey man, huge fan and I think your channel is super underrated. You might want to put the series "Stunted Growth" or "Ultimate Bust" first in the title as I bet it would draw more views and click through. Keep it up!
Do Donte Bright from Dunbar. He definitely had his growth stunted
Awesome video! This is the guy I always compared to Evan Turner. Actually surprised Turner ended up better.
I'm from Toledo Ohio and knew his nephews Stacie and his brother ....when he had a Krogers commercial he recently recorded he came back home ....and I must say he DEFINITELY FORGOT WHERE HE CAME FROM ....TO THIS DAY I REMYHIM TREATING ME AS IF I DIDN'T EXIST 💯😣
Same here. I remember boys going to him and Jimmy Jackson basketball camp.
His nephew Stacy and I were on the same jr high team. Deveaux Vikings.
He started the Youth Cavs program for the YMCA 5 yrs or so ago for TOLEDO (I did coaching with him) plus more he been giving alot back must be a personal problem my Gee ‼️
Thanks for the update, was wondering what happened to him...The nba is so political that an owner, G.M. or even a coach can severely derail & sabotage a career in the league & now, add an agent to that mix b/c of bias, ego, incompetence, etc. There are plenty of examples to choose from however, at least Dennis won a ring which most players cannot say & he was blessed to be able to play professionally even if it was overseas.
It’s another really messed up thing some of those agents do , when they have their pockets best interests in mind over your overall best interests in mind.
Yes , He may have made more $ off that immediate contract for a couple years but He lost money on the backend.
Mainly with His pension , but also just in another contract in The NBA after that Kings contract would have ran out , as well as just getting more clout in The Association always brings you more $ in many different avenues.
Do Bonzi Wells
I got my first truck from Dennis back in ‘98. The system was the icing on the cake. 🎶_🎶
First of all any one play against MJ practices or the game is MJ punching bag. Dennis Hopson and Evan Turner both Ohio State greatest player but came up short in the NBA
Hopson could play…he got screwed by the Nets
Can you make a video on josh childress
Interesting. I graduated from high school here in Chicago days after the Bull '91 ship. Being young dudes back then, we literally rode Hopson, and before him "Sad" Brad Sellers and a few others BAD! MJ was in his prime and Scottie was steadily evolving at this time. And thing is Hop was pretty decent in college. Just goes to show, there are "nan" guarantees. I wish him well in his coaching career now and in the future✊
People love saying dumb things in these comments the man wasn't no bust nobody was taking Jordan minutes in the nba so y'all need to stop with all these dumb comments the man was hooping in Jersey Bill Fitch was a spiteful coach who tried to ruin him the man was instant offense on Sacramento but the man never got to a team where he could shine and prove his self
Roy Tarpley RIP
Mark Aguirre
Jack Haley RIP
Shannon Anderson
Tony Massenburg
Byron Mouton
Bryant Big Country Reeves
Dejuan Blair
William Bedford
J.C
Already idid videos on. tarpley, big country. Dajuan Blair mark Aguirre, Bedford. Nobody doing video on shannon Anderson's he wasn't that nice
@@BajekBrownPodcast oh ok gotcha thanks
He did dejuan Blair?
He still looks like he can hoop!
Do kenny smith next, way he talks on tv like he's an all time great, joking with shaq about rings in front or barkley, even joked reggie miller about not holding the trophy properly on marv alberts' last day as play by play. Was decent guard, can shoot, can dunk when younger, but as a 6th pick he didn't become an all star or atleast considered.
He from my hometown Toledo#419
i have watched him played in an out of town game in the philippines he was injured in his quad and a local player punched his quads and the refs didnt saw that 😅
Do a Stunted Growth about Rodrick Rhodes
I averaged 24 at Ohio State versus 19 at UNC...
Marvin Barnes....the ultimate stunted growth
He was the ultimate Tweener, to slow and stiff to play 2, too small and limited to play 3.
How tall was he really? I saw on another video that Harold miner was more 6’3 which is why he had struggles early off on defense and rebounding
Shit!
Trade me 2 the Bulls?… I’ll be excited!!
Those practices will be my Highlights! 2 play against The Best! Win or Lose… Ur gonna respect my Game!
Tony Campbell was never a All Star caliber player,wtf are you talkin bout
He keeps blaming his agent and I understand he was a young player but he still was a grown man in a grown man’s business so he should’ve told his agent to take the damn deal. He partly to blame in that situation
AMEN,brother.
Shot Hopson was a good scorer for a few seasons
Did him and mj get along? Because why didn't he work out with mj and Tim grover ?
WHO IS DENNIS HOPSON JC? ANOTHER OHIO BALLER OTHER THEN "SCOONIE PENN" GETS AN EPISODE.....AHHH MAN, THIS PODCAST BOUT TO GET STUNTED MY GUY IF "SCOONIE AINT UP TO BAT NEXT PLAYER"☝️😎.....
The nba players coaches and his agent did him dirty if this is true
Mike tested your heart to see if you had a backbone
He'd supposedly ran Brad Sellers, Rodney McCray and Dennis Hopson out of the league
He only respected you if you stood up to him
That's why he kept picking on Scott Burrell
💯
He only respected you if you stood up to him.THAT'S WHAT BULLIES DO.
@@powerbad696 Facts
That's why he respected Steve Kerr for barking back
💯
Sooooo.. first Evan Turner🤔
He did Evan Turner already.
Can you please do UCLA Toby Bailey?
Hoopers know..undershirt!
@@aaronhutchinson885 What's that mean?
@@buzzerbeater3350 which part, hoopers know Toby Bailey, or undershirt!
@@aaronhutchinson885 I remember Toby Bailey and I remember he wore an undershirt. What about it?
@@buzzerbeater3350 the undershirt to me represented 80/90s college basketball. A lot of my favorite players were undershirts. Larry Johnson, Kenny Anderson, AI, Kitties, Camby etc for me you had to he special to wear an undershirt/cut off shirt. I wore one throughout HS and college because of guys like them
This is the first video of yours I feel like are a bunch of excuses.
