check out Legend of winning and his other 2 channels Foot on the Line and The LOW post if you need help stating up to date too ! helped me get back into it after not watching since 2013
i swear jimmy didnt really have issues in philly. the issues that i know of is the management not wanting to give him the money bc he was seen as a wildcard at the time and the issue of Brett Brown using Ben as point during the season but then randomly changing it to jimmy during the playoffs which caused the performance to drop. is there something that happened that i just dont remember?
Ring culture is an interesting dynamic, but to me it's not everything. Yeah I certainly get it, the ultimate goal of a team sport is winning it all and so being a part of a championship team is an important aspect of a (great) player's career. But only ONE team gets to get it each year and so it can be a terribly difficult and elusive thing for many great players. So considering it this way, for each of the guys you listed to get a ring (unless they somehow end of playing on the same team as each other), kind of an obvious observation but, their team would have to win the title for the next 10 years. It would probably need to be in reverse order of your countdown for it to work, it just seems super tough for that to be able to happen. I understand the premise of the video, it's just hard to see it happening for all of them, and is/would be kind of a shame for any of them to end their career without one. But that's how it goes right? That's part of the point of how/why getting a ring is so special, revered and looked favorably upon, takes a LOT to make it happen. Nothing earth-shattering from me, just thinking it through as I watched the video. Anyway thank you again, my favorite hoops vids on youtube.
I think that's why Jordan and Kobe made such a mark on the game. It's the exceptional players they kept from getting a ring. Malone, Stockton, Kemp, Payton (for a while). The further I got up in the list were the players that I think are the most skilled, but haven't been able to reach the top on a team level. It's their careers, but I think it's the ultimate achievement in basketball everyone is chasing. The MVP and DPOY, all star games feel a bit like distractions to me. Hard to even really define what ring culture is. I think at it's simplest and least grand: it's shaq teasing chuck for never getting one. Definitely the easiest narrative to follow as well.
@@whatslapssomewhere out there Charles Barkley is pissed/crying he wasn’t even mentioned in the “exceptional players Jordan kept from getting a ring” discussion. 😂😂😂
i subbed after this video and watched a couple of your other videos and now you're one of my favorite youtubers, gonna be fun watching this channel grow!
@@whatslaps I recommend a vdo about how NBA players use their money; who went broke, who invested and got wealthy, I heard that AI be able to survive 'til today cuz something about the Reebokdeal he made.
@@whatslaps my favorite player to never win a ring is Derrick Rose, in my opinion, and many others opinions, he shouldn't have been in that 4th quarter of the Chicago Philadelphia game in 2011-2012
What about Devin Booker (who still has plenty of time, like some of the guys on the list)? If he finishes his career without a ring, he would be seen as one of those top players who couldn't get it done on the biggest stage.
Good lord. The sound effects in this video. You speak about basketball well but the noises make this video borderline unwatchable. You’ve got potential but fix that trash. Good lord.
as someone who has just gotten into basketball in the last couple of months, i really love your videos. keep making them!
I can do that for you, brother.

I know. they went with Toby because he was easier to control.
Brett Brown was the issue… and the Collangelos destruction path
Embiid has been in the league for a decade? Wow, never realized that.
sure has
Such a relief to finally find someone with a no bullshit take on the game.
THat's how I do. I occasionally get into a little BS.
Only thing better than finishing homework for the day and seeing a new whatslaps video in my sub box is seeing Dame win a ring with my Bucks in June.
I'm thinking Denver and Milwaukee finals.
@@whatslapsWould be amazing to see two Euro legends in the making battle for a title. 7 game series for sure.
as a celtics fan, smiling returning to this vid
Congratulations 🎉

Thanks!
Thanks for the support brother. always look forward to your comment.
i subbed after this video and watched a couple of your other videos and now you're one of my favorite youtubers, gonna be fun watching this channel grow!
Glad you like the vids! thanks for the sub man!
A video of on the cusp hof players and whether or not you think they will make it could be cool
that'd be good. long shelf life too.
Paul George ain't getting No Ring, too.
This is a big year for both embiid and PG

Who's your favorite player who didn't win a ring, it could be past or present
Allen Iverson. thanks for asking baby

Dude should be on Jimmy high roller levels
He's good. I like him
What about Devin Booker (who still has plenty of time, like some of the guys on the list)? If he finishes his career without a ring, he would be seen as one of those top players who couldn't get it done on the biggest stage.
I think in about 3 or years I'll make a video about Booker if he's ringless
This channel has silly sounds i like it
If you think these sounds were silly, you ain't heard nothin yet.
A new whatslaps video. Hooray!!!!
every Monday baby!
Spoiler alert: it’s not happening for Chris Paul this season.
what if he gets traded?
That's true abt Luka
for sure.
I love pg
me too.
all but luka and tatum were eliminated in the first round 💀😔 none of them will ever get a championship
I gotta say, I agree.
cam thomas needs to win the nets their first
you hear him on jj's pod?
@@whatslaps what he say?
Chris Paul is very annoying but one of the best of the last 20 years, even if I’m rooting for him to lose most of the time
Agreed. I'll definitely miss him when he retires.
I don't want Embid to get a ring. He doesn't deserve it.
He'll deserve it when he wins.
Tatum one didnt age very well😂😂
I have no idea what I'm talking about. lol
Commenting so Lord Montizon blesses you in the algorithm
Jah bless
Kd needs a *real ring
fax
Good lord. The sound effects in this video. You speak about basketball well but the noises make this video borderline unwatchable. You’ve got potential but fix that trash. Good lord.
thanks. it's not for everyone.
Embiid will never win a championship.
whyz that?
Because he doesnt have that dawg in him. @@whatslaps
Too soon to say. In Philly? Probably not. But what happens if he joins forces with a star elsewhere?
Nobody going to clown Jimmy. Untouchable
Big Jimmy guy too
lol
I stand uncorrected.
First
I love your videos
that's what's up.
