This video shows how hard it is to make it in the league. A lot of these guys still ended up getting paid to play the sport they love though so shoutout to all of them.
@@BlackKingEnt nah, it's about these kids getting too much love too early and giving up. The Williams that's a genetic failure but most of them it's just they gave up. JJ barea was like 5'8", Dame is 6'3", there are so many average size 6 footers. It's about that drive. Look at Jaden Williams, she got so big weight wise.
@@chuckdeuces911 only 2 players in last years draft were under 6’4… genetics extend more than height. Also how explosive and quick you are, how far is your ceiling and how injury prone you are .
@@jameswright3574 Started what? High School hype? You realize players use to get drafted right out of high school? Players like Kobe had crazy hype coming out, also goes for guys who didn't make it like Lenny Cooke and Dejuan Wagner.
I really appreciate that you chose to present these guys in a positive and uplifting way, highlighting the good things they're doing with their lives. Most people would have used this as an opportunity to kick them while they're down and say they're trash because they didn't have successful NBA careers. Life means so much more than that and we, as people who have never gotten anywhere near that level, are way too comfortable calling people like this "trash" or "washed"
I wish a lot of these guys could see the value of staying in Division-I NCAA longer instead of opting to enter the draft early. They have such a good opportunity to develop in college and round out their game. But alas, the money is too much to ignore!
Actual college isn’t for every kid, especially if basketball plan A through Z … bank the cash and pay for school or a business , when basketball isn’t plan A anymore … University classes just get in the way for kids at this level; their bodies are way ahead of their minds.
In my opinion, Going in a European Club is the best choice. Here in Europe, discipline is the first thing you learn. You play something different than what your coach has called, you are benched. You raised your voice on the coach, you are out for some games. You also learn how to dribble properly without carrying, always pass first, always follow your captains calls. Playing against grown men is also a big advantage because you get mentally ready.
@@dimitriskazantzidis7718 nah once you go euro you never come back. Generally speaking it's better to stay in college and build your brand where people actually watch.
@@zeebee3606 sure if your name is lebron James. Plenty of research on injuries and burnout for players of a single sport vs multi-sport athletes. Maybe tennis gymnastics or figure skating benefit from the single sport approach - team sports ehhh not so much. There is a lot of pressure to join travel teams and all that garbage but only the most talented can do that and still get to the next level. Bottom line,Most people can’t maximize talent and/or athletic ceiling by simply playing a single sport. Not sure what you’re talking about.
@Mahidhar Reddy maybe u no understanding the English? Ur right that there's injuries with direct correlation to sport specific overuse.... but thats got nothin to do with "how someone can reach their physical prime at 14".... aka why do some guys have hair on they nutz while their teammate is still playin with GI Joe. Sabe or no sabe??
@@zeebee3606 not just injuries people burn out and get bored and lose interest in putting in the work. This usually happens around age 12. Most D1 football coaches like athletes who play 2-3 sports other than football. You can only get so good at s sport by just playing it (playing is very important of course ). But stuff you do around in like strength training speed strength power whatever you want to call it. Along with that playing multiple sports helps to prevent burnout and prevent someone from hitting their peak. The goal is to peak when someone is 25 or so as opposed to 14. The main issue is giving up due to losing interest
I think a lot of these guys get burned by the one and done. Everyone sees your mixtapes and tell you how great you are when you really needed more seasoning to be successful in the NBA.
That didn't ruin his chances, him not being good enough did. He's got more shots and goofy people talking about him despite never showing signs of being good enough for the league.
Next video I have a few ideas! Caleb Swanigan(rip), Peter kiss, sim buhllar, jared Cunningham… dang I can’t think of anymore I had Chieck Diallo on here but as I was typing it you got him on here. Great video!
Update on Isaiah Washington, unfortunately Skylines aren't too happy with his game. He lacks the knowledge to run a system but is a great one on one player. Also Skylines have dropped from BBL which is the highest league in Germany and will be playing in Pro A next year.
@Black King Entertainment Good point with facts. Things like wingspan, hand-size, and quick twitch muscle can also be important. There are small differences that make a huge impact, but then there's also an elite level of skill and IQ that allows people like Chris Paul and Derek Fisher to play many years. At the same time though, a lot of these guys are super athletic and making the adjustment to "knowing your role" can be difficult for former stars.
Great video but you could probably do an entire video on Baylor which features some of my favorite prospects who somehow busted like Perry Jones III. Also as a Sixers fan I still can't fathom how Okafor did not pan out, I watched him come in as a rookie and just dominate every big man in the league on offense he was unguardable as a rookie.
Wild you can be ranked/drafted higher than dudes that are present all stars in the league and just don’t have the stars line up to make it happen. They all have the talent; just have to get that chance as well.
Goes to show you that not getting injured is more important than playing insanely well. Just be a consistent mediocre player and never get injured, and you'll have a better shot at a long career. I think a lot of these people just over train, that is why they are injured constantly.
They train wrong, especially with kids, they do all this physical activity than go home and eat junk food which is why they get injured none of them eat properly to keep their body from breaking down.
giannis such a great guy. he didn't have to show love like that to a controversial internet personality in julian newman. always love and positivity despite how far he has gone in his career.
@@Papellxhase he’s got the skills for sure it’s just his shot selection and defense is not good i’m sure penny and the rest of the coaches at memphis will help him better that
😂 i remember when Thon fetched 2 million Mt on 2k at one time,they boosted his 3 and speed and people went nuts,he was hard to stop if you coild get his shot down
Dude I quit basketball because I thought I was too short and would’ve never made the nba. I’m 5’11. I didn’t know Gleague and overseas was a thing. Didn’t know they gave people under 6ft a chance
This video shows how hard it is to make it in the league. A lot of these guys still ended up getting paid to play the sport they love though so shoutout to all of them.
There are kids who start playing at age 15 and make the league. NBA is a lot about genetics.
@@BlackKingEnt nah, it's about these kids getting too much love too early and giving up. The Williams that's a genetic failure but most of them it's just they gave up.

Oh stop. He just wasn’t good enough.
Jaylen Hands played behind Aaron* Holiday his freshman year
I was confuse about that one as well. I had to ask myself how long did that Nigga stayed in college
How do you kidnap and assault someone and only get 3 years. I believe he only served 3-5 months and went to college. That’s insane.
go track him down n make him pay for his crimes then batman

hope he is finding a good carreer now that he is out of college

You did not mention Anthony Bennett. He was number one pick like Oden, but did not live up to hype.
