He Was Expected To Be THE NEXT MAGIC Johnson! What Happened? Stunted Growth
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 сер 2024
- The first lesson I ever learned attending a division 1 school was that, this is no longer for fun anymore. Everything you do from then on will affect your adult life forever and not too many people are built for that believe it or not. Billy Owens stated just as much when interviewed by the #sentinel a few years ago about why his career didn’t turn out like many thought it should as one of, if not the best player to ever come out the state of Pennsylvania. He was so good in high school he never lost a state playoff game and won 4 straight state championships. He was equally tremendous individually in his college days, starting every game and increasing his output every year until his numbers looked video game like his junior and final season. Kevin Durant walked up to Billy Owens, standing on the side as his daughter waited for an autograph and told Owens he studied him on film more than any other player and that he was an inspiration. That had two have felt beautiful to a guy many consider a bust and I’m thankful he was able to get that flower from another all time great. He was expected to become the next magic Johnson and felt levels short. What happened? Here’s what stunted Billy Owens’ Growth

Not everyone is built for the business of sports. Could you see yourself as a pro athlete with everything off the court they endure?
Lack of maturity is a HUGE obstacle for a lot of players.
Buzzer beater verrryyyy true
Gotta be diciplined j.c salute.
Couldn't be a celebrity PERIOD.Would rather be a wealthy unknown person.
Basketball/sports teach you so much about life. But its a young man's sport. And it takes a great deal of focus, discipline and hard hard work...also strong mentorship without any of it you're not going very far.
Hoopers know. They guy was the original Antoine Walker. Less the insane amount of 3s.. that GSW team was a must use in Live 95
Oh yes! They was loaded with offense
@Aaron Hutchinson And Thats Facts Bro Anyone that remembers Nba Live 95 Golden State Was The Most Efficient Team i Can Still Hear that Echo Yell (3eeee) Tim Hardaway,Sprewell,Webber And Billy Owens Yo At 1st i Always Had This Thought I use to say to My Cousins How Come All the Bald-Headed Players Have The Highest Frequency Chances Of Hitting The 3-ball Even If They Wasn't A 3 point Shooter I'm dead Serious Try it If any still have the game I use to have my cousins tight when we use to play "Yo wtf is going on he can't shoot 3's" I use to be like "I told u Cuzz He Bald them Bald dudes it don't matter what they 3pt rating is" 🤣😂🤣
they had 3 guys who could rebound, take it the length of the floor then pass or finish
Cyber Twan!!!!
Great point he was similar to A'Walker with a lower usage rate in a Grittier era...
Finally! I’m tired of the “Billy Owens was a bum” myths. He wasn’t. Billy could hoop
Indeed
He was a beast and had a pretty good nba career. Anybody who says he was a bum don't know shit
Yea he was solid stronger then people think and borderline crafty on the fastbreak
He was crafty off the dribble in the fast break finishing at the Rim I was a big Fan if his Billy was a solid hooper salute to him
facts
The flip side about players who are marketed to be someone who can play all positions, is that they never find a role when playing with four other teammates.
Jack of all trades, master of none
Facts ,, and also when rangy built or big wings sf and pf get tagged as a point forward really doesn't do a team much justice as a starter if u already have a quality point guard and a solid 2guard unless u can really shoot from outside or defend on a very high level.
@@samgunz1 u right or like similar to Evan Turner( do a little bit of almost everything )
@@carlwallace1129 facts
like kelvin sampson said "when you don't have a position, you better be great at something"
Yeah, I remember this guy Billy Owens....3rd pick behind Larry Johnson and Kenny Anderson.
90’s basketball killed so many careers and made guys seem like busts , guys that if they played in today’s non physical league they would be all stars . Billy Owens is a great example of that
RIGHT
90% OF TODAYS PLAYERS WOULDN'T EVEN MAKE THE LEAGUE guys like Draymond green LLS
Well that was the game back then, sympathy towards who failed is fine, but don't take away anything from those who made it. You can breakdown how these dudes failed in their eras, but in the end, their main competetion is themselves or injuries.
Used to hang with him in Philly in the clubs from time to time, really cool dude. The knock on him was he didn't take care of his body as well as he should have, and liked to party. His game was a little bit ahead of his time and could have been an all time great too...I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!
Yeah, a minuscule slip can mean a world of difference. If we’re comparing Billy with Magic then it’s no wonder the comparison was far fetched. Greats are greats because they do everything they have to to be great. I remember Ralph Lawler who was being interviewed and saying the greats like Magic spent summers mastering something they perceived a deficient. Magic partied sure but you can’t deny the work ethic and Magic himself always said if I don’t have time, I’ll make time. Peace.
@MOSTWANTEDJAMES He also didn't have the best jump shot.
In 87 I went to Carlisle to drop this dude off when I was in the corps. I stayed to catch a Christmas tournament game. This cat B.O looked like he was playing against 7th graders. I couldn't believe how dominant he was, and how easy he made it look. His game was str8 butter!
I remember his draft profile graphic read "Weaknesses: ?" ...He was definitely supposed to be next up
I remember that on Pat Ewing's graphic they wrote "Weaknesses: are you kidding me?"
@@AndreaBaixinho that's crazy lol.. pat was definitely a beast tho
Billy’s said “Work Ethic?’” I remember the look on his face too.
Billy Owen's could flat out ball. Had you sent him to Jersey along side Derrick Coleman it would've been on and popping.
He had 10 years in the NBA to get it popping and was unable to.
Somewhat they both were similar 1 was a half a dozen and the other was a 6pack with more Perks .
JC great work you do on these stunted growths.Alot of research and great videos to go with the narration .Billy Owens is working with the NBA so he's doing ok..Very versatile player.
Thank you! Salute to the big fella
One of my favorite players growing up
Yessir!!!! When the Big East was the most dominant conference. Been waiting on this one!
When I found this channel a couple years ago, this was my first video request; I'm glad you finally got around to it!!
Finally ….I been asking for this one for over a year, check the receipts. Good look 💪🏽
Salute💯
Nice do one bon Jr Reid
WOW JR Reid!!!!!!
How about a Stunted Growth on Danny Manning?
I’ve been asking this for months now lol
The Clipper curse
Agreed!!!!
He did one
That would be Dope
Thanks for the video!!
Strange but true…Billy Owens was traded for Mitch Ritchmond during the 1991-1992 NBA season and played together for two seasons in Sacramento from 1996 to 1998….
First time I heard of him was in NBA 2k last year. Had no idea how highly he was touted.
Can u do one on Walt williams
He definitely was a talent. This was a good one. I'd love to have more insight from the players themselves like my man from Boston College.
This channel so 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 especially for a 39-year-old like myself. Shoutout to you
Thanks for doing this one J.T. I remember Owens in the 80's when I watched the nba on t.v. when he played with Warriors & even at Syracuse back in the day...
He was drafted in ‘91. He was at Syracuse in the late 80’s.
Your content is amazing!!!
RUN TMC should be next on STUNTED GROWTH!
Stunted Growth Calbert Cheaney
Salute to Billy Owens a very versatile player, I personally Never viewed him as the Next Magic, And I Understand why he wanted no parts of that Sacramento kings Team they were garbage Hell Mitch Richmond wasted some of his best years in Sacramento 🤷🏾♂️. Billy was best in transition attacking the basket especially off the Rebound, His Career didn't Go as planned But I never considered him a bust. He was the man in HS and was a beast in college he Had Game
Well he is a nba bust because he was promoted as the second coming of magic
Excellent!
He had the best waves period
OMG!! Been wanting this ONE 4ever!!
O snap! Finally 1 of the hundreds of players I mentioned 👍🏼
Another awesome vid. I think it was Sport magazine that had him on the cover as being the next best thing. Golden State was never going to get past the Lakers at that time and I remember them rolling the dice on that trade. Felt so sorry for Richmond as there was such great chemistry with TMC. I think Sacramento had a decent year or two with Richmond and Brian Grant (was it?). Anyway, as mentioned before, great vid/mini documentary. I'm going to watch it again as I've always been curious about Owens and what happened at that time.
Billy Owen's had alot of old school playground bigs with his style of play in the late 80s and early 90s. He thrived in transition and was such a tweener almost positionless but he was a marginal talent that showed flashes of being a solid combo forward in his era. He was a stronger Evan Turner but not much better
Yes he had a bit of Alimoe in him
That’s a good take. 👍
My all time favorite player.
If fans truly understood the business part of this game many of them probably wouldn’t want to go all the way to the NBA. Owens wasn’t a star but he was solid and that okay.
Bro you always on point
Yo real talk I AM ATHLETE gotta have you on they show like too much gems I feel like a lot of young athletes coming up need to hear this
Somebody here said His Game Was Like Antoine Walker's Billy Owens was a PowerForward/Small Forward/Center He Could Handle The Ball, Shoot Jumpers And 3's Consistently and Get to the Rim At Will/Dunk His Game Does Resemble Antoine Walker
Will you do Maurice "Mo" Taylor from Universityof Michigan? 14th pick in the "97 NBA draft with T-Mac
Stunt #_: *The Clippers*
Blew his achilles out playing pro-am at Rouge Days
Another cool video. How’s about Kendall Gil or Micheal Olowokandi?
Gill had some nice years in Charlotte no?
@@pmiahky Hello Paul. Yes, I totally agree with you, Kendall head some good years in Charlotte. Just always thought he should’ve been much better in the league.
Greetings from SoCal
@@richierich5694 Gotcha. Yeah I remember that Flying Illini squad with him/Liberty/Battle taking out my SYR team in the Elite 8. Owens was on that team.
@@pmiahky Paul, actually remember that Illini team. Always thought Lou Henson’s team was underrated. ( One of two teams that I thought did not get enough credit when mentioning powerhouse college teams. The other being an Alabama team just a few years later that featured both Latrell Spreewell and Robert Horry )
Yes, you lost to a Syracuse team that not only had billy Owens, but Derek Coleman and PG Sherman Douglas as well. Might have been coached by Jim Boeheim, if I’m not mistaken. I’m sure you also remember Douglas went on to play in the NBA with the nets and the clippers. I was in my early teens at this time and I do remember thinking Derek Coleman was gonna be the best power forward ever. Instead, he turned into a basket case. Coincidentally, there’s even one of these videos on him as well. During that particular time, both the Midwest and the east produced a lot of good NBA talent.
@@richierich5694 Boeheim has been there since the 80s so yes he coached those guys. Derrick Coleman still was a ROY and had a pretty solid career. Just didn’t put the work in when he had legitimate HOF talent. Barkley and Karl Marlone have gone on record to say how tough it was to deal with Coleman.
Regarding SU/Illini. That game was 89. We had a ton of talent and a loaded frontcourt but no real PG. Perimeter shooting was suspect too. Sherman D left the year before. Illini were a great team indeed and Henson a terrific coach.
I met Billy when he was in my hometown The O and at my school College of Alameda coolest dude
yes, my boi from the "Cuse/ we bleed ORANGE 4life/
Owens did kind of fit in nice with Golden State the one year Webber was there. That team used to run a lot and anyone could lead the fastbreak including Webber, they were as entertaining as Run TMC unfortunately they moved Webber. But their style of play that year worked to his strengths and versatility.
every flashy point guard that’s 6′ 6″-6′ 10″ is compared to Magic Johnson before getting drafted
What?!!! Billy Freaking Owens!!! Good Looking JC!!!
6:10 WOW!! When Billy (Belly, as he was called in Seattle) Owens was drafted, "work ethic' was dubbed a weakness. How prophetic! He wasn't known to be a hard worker, and that's why he plateaued early, and was FINISHED when he came to Seattle.
JC where is your source kevin Durant studied Billy Owen's? Was it in a. Interview on podcast or news article?
Great vid I think he should've went to Sacramento he needs the ball most of the time to be effective he had the perfect situation in Sacramento he never gave it a chance.
Hey Stunted Growth, big fan of the UA-cam channel. Have you ever thought about doing a video on Brian Bowen II 🤷🏽♂️
Thank you. No I haven't. I'll check him out
should do tony delk or Shareef abdur-rahim
Billy O i remember him when he played for them Warriors
Stunted Growth be reading my mind
Good job I forgot about him
Syracuse really blew it his sophomore year... Other than Sherman Douglas, they had that whole 30 win team back which had 6 future NBA players on it.. 2 of them Billy Owens and Derrick Coleman... would've been awesome to see Syracuse play UNLV in the Final Four
They underachied a lot in the late 80s, early 90s and then probation hit.
Enjoyed Billy Owen's game. As a kid you dont realize how young these guys were when they retired "29"
basketball is a game, but in order to succeed at the top levels, you need that pro mindset. You need to be 100% aware of what the business is and the choices you have to make. Unluckily, you can't afford being naive. You need to take things seriously from the start. If you don't, you'll probably never succeed at high levels - that's what happened to Owens, and to several other prospects
Veryyy good point
Points so many miss
First thing I thought of was Syracuse.. This comes from all my time spent in Sports Illustrated instead of my books 📚
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
can you do a coach with stunted growth
JC. Can you do one on Michael Graham, from Georgetown 84 NCAA tournament team. And Sherman Douglas, from the syracuse Orangemen
D.C. BALL
SHERMAN WASN'T STUNTED
MICHAEL HAD DRUG PROBLEMS
Crazy how step Curry was setting on the bench with two basket Ball Legends Nelson and petrovic WTF, that's cool as hell,i got that same nets jersey but different color. That picture had to been 92 or 93 because petrovic died in 93
good player. Good size, multi-skilled. Could do a lot of things. Could play 1 to 4. Would be perfect for this current era, he'd flourish. Don't know why he didn't become a superstar in the 90's
We need a stunted growth of Charles Smith 💯
Billy Owens was not the next magic, he was the first Andrew Wiggins
GOOD POINT!!
Except without the elite athleticism.
Billy Owens was Melo
He was more like Melo actually.
I loved Owens but he didn’t have the range or pure athleticism to be an All-Star caliber player.
He played himself really. Dude could've developed his game even more playing on that losing Kings team that he was drafted to. Would've upped his stock at the same time while getting better
Stunted Growth on Clifford Rozier....
What is the song playing in the background?
6:06 DAMN you can tell he wasn't happy 😂 draft day is supposed to be the best night of your life, and this dude was only able to muster up a smirk 💀
Stunted Growth On Shareef Oneal
you gotta do one on god shammgod out of providence college
You should do one on Dion Waiters
Just 5 years later He set the stage for Kobe Bryant (another player from Pennsylvania) to threaten to hold out if any team other than the Lakers drafted him.
How you done work on Lawrence Funderburke?
You gotta do Rasheed Wallace
Yo you gotta do Caleb Swanigan bro
I used to see him at the grocery store every so often up until a few years ago. I don't think he's a bust. He had a pretty good career. He was one of many players who couldn't make that transition to NBA stardom.
Bust?? Muthafuckas are crazy for that. Didn't end up being the next Magic, but how many have been. Dude had a better than decent career. Mad smooth game
You should do one on rumeal Robinson
You have to do Jamal Mashburn next
How about one on:Wayman Tisdale,Walter Berry,or Sherman Douglass?🤔
Wayman Tisdale was far from a bust
Wayman was a good NBA player. He was also a successful Jazz guitarist.
Idk if you did him or not but you should do John Hot Plate Williams.. he was the next Magic
Billy Owens was supposed to change the game. Him and Marcus Liberty.
Should do one on Dan Majerle
The Magic Johnson comparison was unfair. His game was not the same. Like you mentioned he was a power forward. He would have had more success as a versatile power forward. Great video.
How about stunted growth for markelle fultz
Not yet
Next do a story on tony allen
Thinking deeply about it, he's a lot like Lamar Odom. He was Lamar Odom a decade before L.O.. I just don't know why he didn't become a superstar in the 90's. With his size, skill & versatility, he would be an outstanding player in this current era of the NBA.
Michael Dickerson from Arizona
When I saw the next Magic, I thought of Clark Kellog lol
Jacque Vaughn stunted growth would be interesting
I played HS basketball in PA during his career and he was known as the states boogie man of basketball lol. Dropping 50 pt games in the state tournament like it was nothing.
You should do Earl the goat
God, i wish all busts would have 3 straight years of 14-15 points a game
Billy was the truth
717
Do Andrea Bargnani aka Supposed to be the next Dirk
billy owens could play. though not the 1st lebron as that would be a healthy grant hill- but he was certainly not a bust. he played in an NBA that was monstrously talented and physical. and as a 3/4- it was ridiculously hard to stand out and far easier to get injured back then. like u stated- everything has to go right for a younger guy. that said- he had a damn good run..
Nice! Now do Walt Williams or Calbert Chaney.
6:20 A YOUNG Steph Curry, high fiving Mitch Richmond!!
Need one on Lenny Cooke
