Didn’t know a big UA-camr with great content is struggling financially
you forgot Dennis Schroeder. Lakers offered him more money but he turned it down to play for Boston, he never got paid again after that. Same thing w/ Nerlens Noel.
@@looneytune6062 a1 1
Fred Van Vleet is the definition of betting on yourself. To go from an undrafted virtually unknown player to blossoming into a solid player for the Raptors.
It’s literally his entire brand lol
And an All-Star!
He boutta be the first player ever to bet on himself, win AND lose 🤣
How do you turn down 28 mill a year, where do you draw the greed line
Get it? Bet on yourself. Did you get it? 🤓
Betting on yourself on a contract year and actually getting a max then underperforming right after gotta be the biggest flex
Nope. Betting on yourself on a contract year and actually getting a max then somehow outperforming your contract value gotta be the biggest flex.

Jimmy Butler's journey through the NBA is so inspiring, I really want to see him win at least one championship before he retires.
If he was only able to stay with Philly
He has a championship, in "brazillian prostitutes smashed" during the olympics in Rio 😂😂😂
Jimmy Butler is unloyal if he stays somewhere who would won a Chip but he is so.........
@@michaelfleckt3982 ur comment aged like milk lol
Grant in Denver was known as a defensive player but he totally transformed into an offensive stud in Detroit and later in Portland
Funny thing is, detroit promised him that they will build around him and just let him go for like nothing lol
And he getting paid too. Too bad Dame is leaving 😂
"Tobias over me?!!!" 🤣
What is lost on the entire Brunson thing is, he did accept the initial offer of the 4yrs/55 mil, however the Mavs waited until the trade deadline to see if they could have traded him before he signed the contract. Hence after he wasn't traded then he decided he wasn't going to sign the contract. So the Mavs screwed the pooch on that 1.
Facts!! Dallas messed up big time.
Well they got kyrie so it’s not all a loss
@@FoaMaxx Kyrie is a rental and that team outside of the top 2 is awful. Its a move they needed to make but it’s still not a great situation
@@FoaMaxx I'd definitely take Brunson, Finney-smith and Dinwiddie over Kyrie though. Especially since hes expiring next year
Yup they were more content with Luka playing 1 on 5. Now they lost Dinwiddie (and others) who was more than capable for a rental in Kyrie that will up and leave whenever he sees fit.
Jerami Grant has been one of my favorite role players ever since I saw him with the OKC Thunder. 💯 The 2014 draft class definitely has some solid players from the late 1st rd up to the 2nd rd. 💪
Shame he's a racist
It seemed that the lower you got drafted the higher chance of success you'll have lol
@@GarkKahn maybe because no one expects them to perform well beyond. Its really a great thing cause they can play to their fullest without getting pressured unlike players that got drafted from 1-15 or first rounders.
Great video, but the Jimmy/ Tobias situation seems wrong. Y’all remember when Jimmy was saying “Tobias over me?” Sixers had a chance to keep Jimmy but didn’t
Good thing butler went to Miami cuz he didn't need to handle simmons like he did with kat and Wiggins on the wolves
I was gonna say this…Jimmy was open to staying but the Sixers didn’t value him
That's not how it happened, he did a podcast with j.j. and explained that he had issues with Ben and Brett Brown was the reason he didn't want to stay
True but he also wanted Brett gone & Philly didn’t wanna do that basically.. so yeah they could’ve kept jimmy but only if they kept Brett
That’s false.., the sixers offered Butler a max contract and he turned it down… stop spreading false information
The Mavs messed up that Brunson contract during the season but another thing to add here is that Leon Rose, the President of the Knicks, is also the father of Brunson's agent. Jalen's father is also an assistant coach on the team too. I think whatever the Mavs were offering, in the offseason or even while the season was still ongoing, is that he will go to New York regardless. Which, they were found guilty of tampering and were penalized by the league with the loss of a future draft pick.
Like Jimmy Butler said, "Tobias Harris over meee?" Lol
Jimmy Butler is a shonen sports anime protagonist. He's just missing that final arc where he finally wins a chip.
Jalen Brunson should've been an all star. Shout out to him🏀
Hell no he ain't no all star, but he definitely deserves it way more than overrated ass haliburton and holiday
Who do you take out for him?
@@NewAgeSlaves jrue holiday probably
@@the-w-omen9179 perhaps.. but overall I'm not taking him over Jrue 💪💯
@@Mdksupreme1 he's averaging 23 points per game and has improved his game
John Collins almost fumbled the bags like Schroeder did. But John eventually signed a sweater deal
Andy hoops every saturday is my new cartoons. Been watching you for years
What's funny is that Denver got Aaron Gordon to replace Grant and then signed him to a 4 year $88 million contact. So the dude that replaced him is still making more money than him lol
Wow i didn't know gordon got 4yr 88mil....i think thats kinda overpaid for a player of his level
@@GuRReN1495 he's the 3rd best player on the #1 seed in the West averaging career high shooting splits. That contact is fair
@@GuRReN1495 not really gordon has been worth every penny and he’s a great 2-way player as well.
@@GuRReN1495 he’s great on the nuggets he used to be one dimensional not as much anymore ..
So far I would say Jimmy Butler has the best success story when it comes to betting on yourself
Dennis Schroeder still haunts me and makes laugh to this day.
Thats tuff🔥
And he BACK on the Lakers....smh
and Nerlens Noel
@@maartenvz yeah, the Nerlens one is actually worse because Schroeder has already made a pretty penny in the league. He was making like 15M a year or so for years in Atlanta before his first Laker stint. Nerlens is broke compared to him, but I bet Dennis wish he would've just signed that damn deal when it was there.....
FVV boutta be the first player ever to bet on himself, win AND lose 🤣
One thing all of these players have in common is that they are among the hardest and most dedicated workers at their craft in the league.
Hell no, Tobias is terrible
@@yag2310 please tell him again for the casuals in the far back 😂
Everyone except Tobias Harris. Happy he got paid but still highway robbery man.
@@yag2310 And still is horrible for that amount of cash...
Tobias is not included in that group lol
Tobias Harris added 100 million dollars to his contract, holy shit.
He got some commercials too
Glad to see guys achieving and winning!!!
The second one pretty much killed the first one. I still remember Jimmy eliminating the Sixers and screaming "Tobias Harris over me!?"
Love your videos Andy! Keep up the good work
This might be a rare feat although this could be a trend these days if we see more instances of this in the coming years.
sorry to hear about the car man! hope you are doing alright! love the vids!
Great video, love content like this
This was a great video featuring some awesome examples of betting on yourself, Andy. That being said, the Jalen Brunson saga is more a case of revenge and family connections, then betting on yourself.
Brunson was perfectly willing to sign for that 4-year, $55.5 million extension. He would not have rejected that deal if the Dallas Mavericks had simply offered it to him as soon as he was eligible for it.
The problem, like you alluded to, is that the Mavericks did NOT offer it to Brunson until after the trade deadline. By waiting until then, Dallas lost all of their leverage and ENABLED Jalen to bet on himself.
The Mavs clearly failed to foresee that the New York Knicks would clear out a sh!tload of cap space and hire Brunson's father, Rick, to be an assistant coach prior to free agency. Rick hadn't coached pro ball for YEARS, but coincidentally (😉😉😉), the last time he did, it was for Tom Thibodeau on the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Likewise, if they had traced the roots of Jalen's agent, Sam Rose of CAA, they would have learned he was the son of Leon Rose, President of the Knicks, and the FOUNDER of CAA. Did I mention that Leon was ALSO Papa Rick Brunson's agent when HE was an NBA player? 😉🏀💰
Thanks for the info. Mavs really fumbled with Brunson by refusing to sign him early on.
Mark Cuban has screwed up a number of times. Cuban refused to match the offer that the Suns gave Steve Nash -- one of the dumber mistakes in NBA history as Nash went on to win two MVPs. No doubt Mavs could have won another title or two during the Nowitski era simply by keeping Nash. Then Cuban duplicates the exact same feat with Brunson -- losing him for nothing -- and the Mavs are much worse without him.
Cuban also infamously refused to draft Giannis -- even with his GM, Nelson Jr., begging him to take the 'Greek Freak'. Bucks took Giannis with the next pick after the Mavs and the rest is history. Nelson Jr. got them to draft Luka but he was fired last year so I expect Mavs problems to get worse. After firing Nelson Jr., Cuban traded away Porzingas but got very little for him. And didn't even get salary cap relief from the trade as Bertans has one of the worst contracts in the league.
As to the Kyrie trade..... entertaining but don't see it turning them into a serious contender for a title.
@@randygram9310 Jason Kidd is going to have his hands full getting Luka Dončić to buy in to a two-guard lineup with Kyrie Irving. Uncle Drew has played off ball for many years doing it in Cleveland, Boston and Brooklyn.
Dončić, on the other hand, was at his best when Jalen Brunson tailored his game to complement Luka. This will be a first and a major adjustment for Dončić, so if he wants Kyrie, who has proven he can carry the Mavs all by himself, to stick around, he'll have to embrace that change.
Otherwise, I'm hearing potential Dallas backup plans to sign-and-trade Irving to the L.A. Lakers for D'Angelo Russell in a double sign-and-trade. 🏀
Also Brunson wanted to go play for his daddy who the knicks just happened to hire
Great vid as always
Brunson not signing with the Mavs is because they begged them to aign him for 44 million for 5 years at the start of the season but never got the response they wanted, after Brunson showed up in the playoffs they offered him the same deal which is insulting, also wheres Jalen Brown?
Great video!!
Dennis Schroder betted on himself and won oh wait…..
I remembered the clippers offered tobia a four year/80 million, not five years. Sixers loss the tobia harris trade. Giving up a 1st , Landry shamet, and need to over pay Tobia salary 2X what he’s worth
You can't be serious 😂
Pretty sure it was the Mavs who didn’t want to offer Brunson a deal before the season and Brunson would have signed. But once they didn’t he balled out, then they upped the deal and then he chose NY
This is the main reason why Brunson signed with New York because theres so much misinformation about the move when he could've resigned with the mavs but the Mavs didn't have the offer on the table for Brunson
Glad to see these guys really achieving and winning yessir
Fred VanVleet , Tobias Harris , Jerami Grant etc
I never seen a player underachieve get paid and not be held to any type of accountability better than TOBIAS HARRIS
Yeah, he doesn't get enough hate for that.
My all-time favorite is Conley with Grizzlies. It was a robbery lol
As a Mavs fan, I was totally pissed on that Brunson saga, We did extend players who are Taiwan League players at best to ludicrous deals(Powell and THJ) and got stupid fat contracts like Bertans, yet we could've secured Brunson with that 55M deal but it was too late when the deadline passed. It was a huge mistake by the front office 😑
It reminds me of “Use life as bet, heroic story story left” (my own poor translation) from Jackie Chan’s “Police Story” theme song
I'm suprised that Brunson made Knicks so much better. I thought Knicks are making bad deal again
2 seasons ago Tobias Harris actually looked like he was worth that huge contract but now yea lets not talk about that...He's pretty good but way overpayed for his current production on the court for the 76ers
The Clippers knew what they were doing when they let him walk
Yep! Couple of years ago Tobias was a 18ppg 8rebs on +5% rTS type guy.
@@Ayob14They knew they didn’t want to pay him…..that’s it.
Compared to ben simmons, he’s worth every penny
yes lol
Nice video
man tobias harris fleeced em, honestly well done on his part. that contract has held back the team tho, must be frustrating for fans
A key point about Jerami Grant is that he publicly stated he wanted to play for a black head coach and GM, helping influence his move to Detroit.
I wish Tobias Harris was on a different team.
Lets goo notif gang
No, they didn’t offer that 4yr 55mil to Brunson. He said he would’ve taken it, if they offered it, but the Mavs fucked up, and now he’s on one of the best contracts in the Nba
hilariously at 100 mil underpaid, its true.
My guy is Guillermo from Kimmel. Dude went from being a security guard to shooting a wedgie on national television. Dream come true 😢
miles bridges should be on this list but we know what happened to him
It is always risky, but so sweet when it works out.
I on the other hand tend to take the sure thing, as I know my luck lol 😆
I love players betting themselves
cant forget about Porter kid in Denver,that was a major deal he stole
Fred Vanvleet is going to be on the next video on the other side. Wants way too much money for what he's producing now.
please make a video about josh howard
6:09 we gonna ignore homeboy getting plastered by the ball? 😂🏀
never knew the Mavs offered Brunson a 106 million deal, reports were saying that JB never gave Dallas the opportunity to counter the Knicks' offer.
Jimmy Butler with the best Rags to Riches story? That is 100% 🧢🧢🧢
Anyother vid with basic implosion andy🫡🫡
Just a minor criticism: I notice in the captions you hyphenated the numeral with the word ‘years’ (e.g. 4-years). It isn’t necessary. Thanks for the videos.
Schroeder and Noel punching air rn
Aaron judge has to be here!
You should do teams that made big chances on players and won, and loss
Can’t believe Jalen Brunson was not gonna be an All Star this year 🥶🥶🥶🥶😰😰😰😰
Jimmy was originally about to get traded with Doug McDermott for Kevin Love in the 2014 off season. The crazy thing is actually that the Bulls DIDN’T do it. That trade would’ve taken Love off the Cavs radar and gotten the Bulls the Best Power Forward in the league, who was putting up 26, 13, & 5 a night. This was on top of Carmelo Anthony ready to join the Bulls. This would’ve nearly guaranteed the Championship or at least a Finals run. Carmelo got the offer from NYK and decided money is more important than winning. The Bulls wouldn’t up their contract offer because they wouldn’t be able to keep Taj Gibson. Carmelo re-signed with NYK. The Bulls wouldn’t trade for Kevin Love not because of Jimmy, but because of Doug McDermott. (who Thibs never let off the bench anyway)
Andy hoops 👋
You should make positive videos like this one. Negativity videos in youtube is so common nowadays.
Where’s Dennis Shroder? Oh…
Who yall taking porzingis or brunson
Definitely for sure Jimmy Butler should’ve been top priority and yeah for sure they’re definitely regretting it now
Brunson and Butler hands down.
I understand Shcroeder. He just led team Germany to the fucking gold in the world cup. That guy has every right to think he is worth more
What about my man Kyle Lowry? He bet on himself three times and won each time. First, it was when he was with the Rockets. The Rockets didn't extend him and let him shop via restricted free agency. His agent was able to get an offer sheet from Cleveland and the Rockets matched the offer sheet of 4 yrs, 24mil. Which was a mistake because they offered him a low two year extension with two club option years. When he got traded to Toronto, his played out before cashing in the unrestricted free agency at summer of 2017 and got a 4 yr 130 mil after he turned down a smaller 4 year offer from Rapts. Now got another 3 year deal from Miami that will paid him $85 until end of 2024 season at age 37 after Toronto balked at paying him that much and did a sign and trade for him. This is the ultimate betting on himself on every chance possible and win at every turn. He might not get the most money, but he definitely came out much richer than the original offers each time.
Worked out for mavs too. They got kyrie now
I wonder if the Sixers regret choosing Harris over Butler.
You left off Rod Tidwell from Jerry Maguire. The ultimate bet on yourself story.
Still sad that Jerami Grant left OKC. Would’ve been such a solid wing player and fit the team really well right now.
It's painful to see parts of this video as a Pistons fan seeing two players we shouldn't have traded.
Jaylen Brown your next video Andy Hoops 🙏🙏🙏
Jimmy "Tobais Harris over me?!?" Butler
I think its risky as hell to bet on yourself if you get an offer in ten million range. With that kind of monet you can easily live the rest of your life very comfortably. You can never know when your career can end in a bad injury or if you can really get better and get a more lucrative deal.
Tobias is holding the sixers back
I wonder if someone makes a soccer version of your channel lol
Idk , I don't come from that kinda money ....So maybe my answer sounds simplistic or naive.
But if im getting offered 40-50 mill and it seems to be in-line with market value ....I'm snatching that money before they realize nobody is really worth that much money 🤣
Mostly all of these players are replaceable , it just depends on timing , leverage , and whether that team realizes there's other options to pivot to.
Plus , how many millions of dollars can 1 individual hope to spend in their lifetime?!
There's a saying ....." A bird in the hand , is better than 2 in the bush "
Jimmy Butler didn't want to stay in Philly? That's some egregious reporting in the Tobias part of this video.
"Tobias Harris over me?!" -You know who
If anything Tobias got extremely lucky and was at the right place at the right time. Idk if betting on himself really works here but good for him 😂
Tobias Harris great player but BAD contract extension 😂🤣😅
So Tobias Harris was just lucky he was at the right place at the right time. What an insane contract😂
That's the reason bet on yourself and get even better don't be a I got mine type players will leave a team after that happens player is signed
Andy my dude , keep up the amazing awesome work and as an Asian person , that’s awesome for doing more NBA UA-cam videos
loved van vleet but 114 mil contract idk if woth anymore than that
Fred & Jimmy my two favorite stories!!…. Fred from ULTIMATE UNDERDOG….
TO NBA CHAMPION!!!!!!
& HE IS SMALL PLUS NOT TYPICAL NBA BODY ARCHETYPE!!!
HE WILL FOREVER BE KNOWN AS A NBA CHAMPION!!
CRAZY!!!!…..
&….
“ERRYBODY GOT PAID”😭😭
IF U KNOW…. THAN U KNOW!!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Came to add Terry Rozier to the list for getting paid being in the starting lineup in Charlotte despite being undersized and a horrible defender and can only score and not a great shooter and only a streaky scorer who gets cold
Harris was the only avalanche floor spacer at the time that could help space the floor for ben since the ended up trading him its kinda a L move
I still don't know why people thought tobias harris did so good on the clippers dude was decent people acting like he a superstar that's why he doing shit on the sixers.
Jalen Brunson is arguably a top 5 PG in the world rn
I’m so happy for him tbh. Genuinely and not just because I’m from NY 😂💯
Facts
Luka, Shai, Jrue, Dame, Steph, that’s five right there but there’s more, he’s fringe top ten

@@milobuur9913 😂 yea dude tripping. That's not even counting th players that's listed at other positions but play the point majority of the game like Kyrie and Bron
2:57 that’s a lie- Jimmy wanted to stay
