As a Heat fan, giving him the max was one of the worst deals in the franchise at the time. He stopped trying after he got paid. Either he would be disengaged most of the time or he would chase blocks. I can't tell you how many times when the Heat lost games, he would be smiling. It's like he didn't care about wins or losses. As long as he got his stats.
I watched every game Hassan played for the Utah Jazz and he would just give up and be super disinterested in plays a lot. Like he didn't want to be out there. Yet, when he was interested in the game and wanted to put effort into it, dude was an absolute monster. Could average 5 or 6 blocks a game if he wanted to. That's why i think he is out of the league is cause the effort level waned a lot. I have nothing but love for Hassan, a lot more to life than just basketball, I wish him the best.
Jazz fan here, that's kinda cap. Hassan was really bad when started games during Gobert's absence, but overall he was one of the best backup big men in the NBA. He excelled at that bench role last season, imo he deserves another chance
@@ry_an. his age, and specially the amount of teams with already two rim protectors on their squad, are the two biggest factors of him staying unsigned. His bad rep doesnt help either.
@posebno nista LMAO what?? nba athletes are underpaid?? are you stupid?? EMTs get paid a literal 1/100 fraction of what NBA players get for bouncing a ball
Hassan Whiteside was one of my favorite centers in the league I was really sad to see him get released by the jazz I only wish the best for him btw merry christmas
Hassan Whiteside is one of those players who plays like an All Star off the bench , but you don't want him as a starter just like a lot of other stat focused players you do not want playing in the fourth quarter.
No Hassan is the type that you want out his own damn head so he could be a nightmare starting center. This guy could’ve been one of the best centers in the nba but chose not to be. I’m sorry I understand the money thing but money cannot buy you happiness. There’s ppl his size they work hard everyday wishing they had the opportunity to play in the nba and here Hassan goes smiling after them getting blown out or a loss. I hope they never bring this guys name up because I was always a fan of his until I noticed he has no heart
@@SkyraXD Well it's not how it works some are obssesed by numbers others are just obsessed about playing well..and winning.

whiteside is not a big anyone should want in the playoffs my boy 😂 id much rather a team sign dwight as a bruiser who can block shots and actually be a physical presence
As a nets fan, we would rather let Day Ron Sharpe play as the backup center than signing Whiteside. Dwight and Cousins are our last resort if they can't get Mo Bamba since they are not really good in the playoffs. The Nets is already trying to get Mo Bamba, who is WAY better defensively and offensively. Whiteside is a cone. You would know that if you watched the video.
stupid diss imo... plumlee doesnt have an ego and is perfect for a young rebuilding team... whiteside on the other hand is a cancer in the locker room and wants to be paid more than someone like plumlee... id take plumlee over prime whiteside any day... couldnt believe this youtuber really said whiteside is more skilled than dwight, boogie, and lamarcus aldridge.... like wtf..
He is currently playing in the Puerto Rico basketball league with Brandon Knight! The Piratas of Quebradillas are 6-0 to start the season and Whiteside is having a great season so far. He recently had a monster game with 43 pts and 19 reb. I hope he keeps having a good season so he can make it back to the NBA.
As a Chinese speaker I burst out laughing when the daddy part came out. Also, side note: baba is also how you spell poop, which is even funnier if he didn’t get the right pronouciation.
Once you get paid, its hard for some dudes to stay motivated. and if you were never motivated, that's a problem. Especially a problem for 7 footers, historically.
Yeah, most of the old 7 footers were kind of pushed into basketball if they were even remotely athletic. Even some guys like Manut Bol who weren't athletic at all (could barely bench 40lbs at the start of his career). Make a bit of money and hopefully retire before you feet, ankles, and/or knees explode.
7-footers have been getting 5 or 6 strikes for most of their lives. Therefore, they dont seem to have the sense of urgency to play as hard as a regular human-being who only gets 3 strikes (baseball analogy)
As a Warriors fan I've wanted them to bring him in... look at what they've gotten out of Wiggins. They just need short bursts and with a title opportunity this late in his career I think he could be hungry. Howard is also interesting. Cousins played great for them in the finals. Feels like a smart move while Wiseman develops.

Hassan Whiteside probably got black-balled from the NBA. Coaches, execs, teammates, they all talk to each other so they all probably thought of him as a bad egg. Im a Celtics fan and many people in boston were saying "Go get whitesides, hes a center that can rebound, why havent we signed him." Like no bro, there are reasons why he's not signed. Probably horrendous for the locker room and would mess up the defense/ play with ego.
@@IONTENNISTHAT Yes? Because that was before most of Kyries drama, where the worst thing people could say about him at the time was that he believed the earth was flat? Boston was his second team ever, and the Celtics had an injured undersized guard who's value literally peaked in that season so they had to trade Isaiah Thomas then.
@@IONTENNISTHAT no arguements there, Kyrie was not great in boston but his productivity was enticing enough that teams wanted him whether or not he was kinda wierd
I'm a Heat fan and I remember well being so frustrated by the way Hassan defended, especially after getting the bag. Such a great athleticism and so little effort outside the paint. Somehow he managed to be a great and a terrible defender at the same time. He was a beast 1 on 1 inside the paint, but he wouldn't switch and defend the perimeter. That would have probably worked back in the old days. Nowadays you just knew that of he was going against a big who can't stretch the floor he will give up easy threes.
Just wanted to say what a great video this is. Informative, concise and engaging- great tonality and to the point. The perfectly cut in video clips are the icing on the cake. Amazing work man 👏👏
My favourite player man, so sad to see him go from one of the league leaders to not playing. Although he was brought down by his own laziness he was so fun to watch on and off the court.
Heat fan here. Spo would bench him MANY times during a certain stretch because he wouldnt listen, and didnt value what he had into what got him max contract. Loved his stories too like when his Euro team lost, the fans would throw batteries at his face and security didnt do anything.
@@takai8358 Even AAA batteries will hurt if thrown at 10 feet. Not only batteries but if you lose it's trash, spit, chairs etc. Crazy stories. Good guy too. When he was traded, he had Meyers leonard and his wife rent his mansion for cheap and the condition was just to feed the fishes in the million dollar aquarium he had in the home.
I'm an avid fan of your channel. And I do not skip the ads button because I really want to support you. Could you have a video of your 2023 projected NBA mock draft? Thanks.
Hassan Whiteside is great center, all you need to consider the most is his rebounds, screen play and blockshots, and if you want him to score more then you need to add more minutes in his playing time.
Hello from Lebanon, Casey. I had the chance to watch Hassan Whiteside playing in Lebanon. The Lebanese version of the Malace at the Palace happened in Whiteside's first season in Lebanon, but neither this nor the bombing Whiteside talked about were the reason behind his departure. He played in Lebanon again in the following season (2013-14) and when his team at the time made the Playoffs, he quit on them and performed poorly so that he could leave and go to China without getting injured, so the coaching staff ended up waiving him. Before the release, his team was down 0-2 and faced elimination in this best-of-5 series. After he got replaced, they pushed the series to the limit and were practically one layup away from winning this series. The bottom line is that Whiteside's side of the story (especially the reason of his departure) is not 100% accurate.
Thanks anthony! They somehowe always got the bad picture of lebanon. It was always hassan’s opinion to leave lebanon so he made everything to get out of here
@@marioibrahim949 It's my pleasure Mario. Regardless of the real picture of Lebanon, my intention was to clear up the real reason why Whiteside "left". Whiteside used this just as an excuse to tell the NBA (teams, fans, etc..) why he's no longer there, otherwise they might have never given him a chance. It's definitely not Casey's (AM Hoops) fault. In Arabic: وايتسايد ما رح يقول عن زيتاته عكرين.
I really liked him in Portland. He was doing pretty good filling in for Nurk as the starting center. When Nurk came back it wasn’t the same it was like he gave up or something. I was upset that we didn’t signed him the next season. But I mean there is a reason for it. I’m guessing maybe locker room stuff. I hope he can get back in the league again with a more mature attitude, he would be a amazing back up.
NBA players should be restricted to 4 years before getting max contracts. Too many players get max contracts and end up “quitting” such as Ben Simmons, Hassan Whiteside and Duncan Robinson (although DR got better this postseason). Imagine how dangerous Miami would’ve been with him and Butler.
I loved his snatch blocks - block and steal in 1. It's the best kind of block because you get the possession unlike the flashy volleyball blocks. It's just a shame his attitude and personality isn't a fit to be a star in the league. He would have been one of the great big men in the league.
Some players see life as more than just their profession. Not that Hassan didnt work extremely hard, but he didnt see a benefit in continuing on the NBA level (to him) after the max deal he received. Hes dominant when he puts his mind to it, but he understands that life is substantially more than basketball
That was McGee till the went to the warriors and they shaped him into a better player both on & off the court. With the right people around Hassan, it’s possible.
I'm a Warriors fan who would be thrilled if the Dubs signed him. As long as he's not some type of disruption. His rebounding and rim protection would be awesome and well needed.
I view a lot of flash in the pan players as the effect of opportunity vs effectiveness. Often on bad teams a player will put up great numbers. Even an ineffective player can average high points, blocks, boards, ect if they have ample opportunity. Whiteside always struck me a player that worked well with the Heat system and has physical ability. However Whiteside never adjusted well to the league adjusting to him. He didnt have a positive effect on winning and was just bad working within most defensive schemes. He lacks understanding of the game and apparently motivation too, which is unfortunate because he has a ton of talent.
Some people hated on Hassan Whiteside for nothing. Everyone has problems too. They need to work with him with good terms than blaming him for minor weakness. But he is unstoppable when he is on good mood.
If he played in the earlier era he would have continued to become a great player ! What happened was he got caught right around the era where he’s type of big man was becoming a liability in todays game ! That has to be frustrating , really not his fault the game changed right when he was becoming somebody
@@Rob774 I said he’s type of big man , man you dumb asses don’t read ! Joel and jokic , are hybrid big men ! They are 3 level offensive scorers ! Hassan is a tradition block shots , catch dump off and finish strong big ! Learn the game
Hassan left lebanon because he was playing really good (he was averaging 22 pts 16 rbs and 5blks) and was offered a great deal in china not because of an explosion 🤦♂️
The great Hassan Whiteside is one of my favorite basketball players in the NBA! He is one of best shot blockers and rebounders in the game! He also is a better offensive player than people give him credit for. He has a good mid range jumper, bank shot....and, of course he is a tremendous dunker! Yet, to his credit, he does have a good, solid three point shot. However, teams have not afforded him the opportunity to be an offensive threat. But like most of you have pointed out, when he gets frustrated he shuts down...quits. Regarding his personality? I think that people have mislabeled him as being a bad guy,... locker room poison. When he was with the Kings, the young guys loved him! Most of them said that he was hilarious! They loved being around him. I think that he needs to be accepted! I think that he needs to be wanted! He thrived when he was paired with the great Chris Bosh! He needs to be around players like Wade and Bosh... around players that mess with his personality. He could have been one of the greatest centers in the game! He still has the opportunity to make a big impact!
my parents we’re neighbors with his parents when he was a little kid and were close until they moved, my parents practically looked after him and his brother while his single mom worked to keep them afloat. I think he worked hard enough until he got the money to set up his family for life and that’s respectable but he couldve been so much better too.
As a Grizzlies fan you didn’t mention him being there a while. I remember he didn’t play much because Marc Gasol but we didn’t end up giving him a huge shitty contract… we gave it to Chandler Parsons instead 💀
I met him at the mall in sactown about a year ago. He’s just a little slow at times and doesn’t have that intensity to get it done. Slow to respond and react in normal conversation too.
literally tho come on, the Brooklyn Nets didn't even want him , heck or even the golden state warriors didn't want his services, this was just absolutely insane
He is 4th all time in Rebounds per minute and right after Russel, Wilt and Drummond. He's 10th all time in Blocks per minute and 1st for players who played since the 2000s.
Imma keep saying it. Whiteside had a good year last year backing up Rudy. Teams know if he keep playing like that then they gotta pay him. They rather keep him out the league and pay some youngbul. Same thing with boogie. He was hoopin backing up Jokic
As a Heat fan, giving him the max was one of the worst deals in the franchise at the time. He stopped trying after he got paid. Either he would be disengaged most of the time or he would chase blocks. I can't tell you how many times when the Heat lost games, he would be smiling. It's like he didn't care about wins or losses.

Even an ineffective player can average high points, blocks, boards, ect if they have ample opportunity. Whiteside always struck me a player that worked well with the Heat system and has physical ability. However Whiteside never adjusted well to the league adjusting to him. He didnt have a positive effect on winning and was just bad working within most defensive schemes. He lacks understanding of the game and apparently motivation too, which is unfortunate because he has a ton of talent.
If Hassan was pissed at his scouting report just wait until he sees your thumbnail.
Humble takes you a long way.
I was going down the 2k free agents and was surprised to see him and a few other players in there.
Imagine a serious Whiteside, Adebayo, Jimmy, Herro lineup!
No spacing. Bam and Hassan would clog up the point
@@weswith360s im sure theyd work something out
@@weswith360s especially with only 4 players . They would struggle on both ends of the floor
Have you seen the t wolves their will never be another duncan/robinson combo nothing even close
Great story 👏 you just gained a subscriber
Awesome, thank you!
Good centers are so valuable these days
I do not understand why the jazz dropped him over azibuke… he was a great, high energy force off the bench
You either didn't watch the video or you're ignoring all the red flags such as 6:12
he needs to play in a team with legit superstars like the Warriors, Lakers, Bucks, or Nets. Those guys will humble him and keep him in check
Some people hated on Hassan Whiteside for nothing. Everyone has problems too. They need to work with him with good terms than blaming him for minor weakness. But he is unstoppable when he is on good mood.
Hassan whiteside was a BEAST bruh he got me into basketball
If he played in the earlier era he would have continued to become a great player ! What happened was he got caught right around the era where he’s type of big man was becoming a liability in todays game ! That has to be frustrating , really not his fault the game changed right when he was becoming somebody
There are bigs that aren't a liability (Embiid /Joker). He's just azz!
@@Rob774 I said he’s type of big man , man you dumb asses don’t read ! Joel and jokic , are hybrid big men ! They are 3 level offensive scorers ! Hassan is a tradition block shots , catch dump off and finish strong big ! Learn the game
Bruh imagine telling everyone you meet that you're there daddy in friendly confident voice thinking your saying hello 😂😂😂😂😂
That I am your daddy translation must be one of the most epic pranks ever
That Jokic vs Whiteside clip go crazyyy
This thumbnail is so disrespectful 😭
Hassan left lebanon because he was playing really good (he was averaging 22 pts 16 rbs and 5blks) and was offered a great deal in china not because of an explosion 🤦♂️
The great Hassan Whiteside is one of my favorite basketball players in the NBA! He is one of best shot blockers and rebounders in the game! He also is a better offensive player than people give him credit for. He has a good mid range jumper, bank shot....and, of course he is a tremendous dunker! Yet, to his credit, he does have a good, solid three point shot. However, teams have not afforded him the opportunity to be an offensive threat. But like most of you have pointed out, when he gets frustrated he shuts down...quits. Regarding his personality? I think that people have mislabeled him as being a bad guy,... locker room poison. When he was with the Kings, the young guys loved him! Most of them said that he was hilarious! They loved being around him. I think that he needs to be accepted! I think that he needs to be wanted! He thrived when he was paired with the great Chris Bosh! He needs to be around players like Wade and Bosh... around players that mess with his personality. He could have been one of the greatest centers in the game! He still has the opportunity to make a big impact!
2.9 blocks 13.5 rebs and no team could use him? Wtf the mavs should pick him up
He is not more skilled than Cousins or Aldridge, that's just ridiculous, he's just more athletic
my parents we’re neighbors with his parents when he was a little kid and were close until they moved, my parents practically looked after him and his brother while his single mom worked to keep them afloat. I think he worked hard enough until he got the money to set up his family for life and that’s respectable but he couldve been so much better too.
As a Grizzlies fan you didn’t mention him being there a while. I remember he didn’t play much because Marc Gasol but we didn’t end up giving him a huge shitty contract… we gave it to Chandler Parsons instead 💀
he chased his stats at the expence of the team defense. There's a reason why he only ever made 1 all nba team
I met him at the mall in sactown about a year ago. He’s just a little slow at times and doesn’t have that intensity to get it done. Slow to respond and react in normal conversation too.
I met him at soluna a restraunt in san antonio trhr day before they played the spurs
Next what happen to Blake Griffen
You did him dirty with that thumbnail 🤣
He is playing now in the SBL in Puerto Rico.
literally tho come on, the Brooklyn Nets didn't even want him , heck or even the golden state warriors didn't want his services, this was just absolutely insane
Hassan plays when he wants, and that is his problem.
One season in MIAMI, Kelly Olynyk was allowed over 300 3PAs to Whiteside's 17. Arrested Development is an UNDETSTATEMENT.
Dude is literally still a beast he put up almost 2 blocks a game his last season. Everyone calling him a bum is just weird.
I loved him in Miami
Yes new vid
Messed up how the thumbnail making it look like he work at little Cesar’s 😂😂😂
He is 4th all time in Rebounds per minute and right after Russel, Wilt and Drummond. He's 10th all time in Blocks per minute and 1st for players who played since the 2000s.
To out the league and made no impact after 2016
@terrellewilliams2188 His team was no good just like his attitude. His stats otherwise were good.
I just asked myself this the other day dude was on snap all the time though he could’ve just had a UA-cam or Snapchat show it was always funny
He retired and now does a bit of real estate. He owns a couple of apartment buildings around miami. He also has a trucking business.
Fire up the TRADE MACHINE! We need a trade vid
When we getting your all stars vid?
Do you still think Jimmy has a problem?!
Dude made 100 million + in the NBA so he MUST be chillin!! He's 👍. Dude is GOOD!!
Imma keep saying it. Whiteside had a good year last year backing up Rudy. Teams know if he keep playing like that then they gotta pay him. They rather keep him out the league and pay some youngbul. Same thing with boogie. He was hoopin backing up Jokic
Hassan is NOT more skilled than Demarcus or LaMarcus. That's crazy talk.
It's about rn. In the past, Lamarcus definitely better than him for years.
That picture they have of him that’s makes it look like he works at a pizza joint is crazy 😂😂😂
