Rip I remember seeing this video 4 years ago, seeing how inspirational his story was, sad to see that it had to end this way. Pray for his family and friends
@@nikosofidemporas i don't feel sorry for him. He's richer than any of us will probably ever be. His problems he has now are his own fault. He chose to be a fat slob and not work harder to stay in the league. The weed thing was bogus tho
Rip no one truly understands how painful it is to come from a loveless background where it seems not a single soul cares about you I just wish he knew how many peoples lives he’s changed 😔
Great post! I love this kid Swanigan. He's gonna have a remarkable career as a Blazer. He has everything you want in a PF: He shoots it well from everywhere on the court, he has great length, he rebounds at an elite level, he has an uncanny ability to pass it and find guys cutting to the rim, his motor is always in the highest gear, basketball IQ is extremely high, great work ethic and desire to win and become great. Caleb also has something that can't be quantified. He's gonna do it all for the Blazers. He will be the glue and the heart and soul of the team. Even the weakness they say he has (defense) will end up being something he excels at. I really love this pick. Dame, CJ, Harkless, Swanigan, Nurkic!! This starting 5 will be monstrous! Oh and Collins will be the next great PF/C in the NBA as well. A+ for the Blazers 2017 draft.
Homestead High School class of 2014 here. I watched this guy develop since his freshman year. Had a couple classes with him. Definitely one of my favorite people. Extremely humble and dedicated to his game. #NeverSayDie Caleb!
Rip calab Swanigan the fact that you did the impossible and made the nba and got to the biggest stage of basketball shows your a winner in everyone eyes may you rest in piece my deepest condolences to his family ❤❤❤🙏🏾
Oh wow. This was an interesting watch, really gives some context to the player that Caleb currently is. I remember watching him enter the game for the Kings late last season in garbage time and he was ABYSMAL. Looked completely lost and out of shape, stutter stepping back and forth as if he forgot who he was supposed to guard. It was baaaaad. I wish him the best, but he hasn't touched the court in a while and doesn't look like an NBA player whatsoever.
Please excuse my intro, I was sleepy af recording it
Andy Hoops I remember hearing this story when he got fragted
Andy Hoops drafted
Marne The best
RIP
Thon Maker go for it!
Andy Hoops do a video about Fab Melo, it's pretty interesting

I just heard he got big again, that shit hurts me man 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Damn, I remember watching this video last year and as soon as I heard the news came back to reassure it was him. I feel sorry for him.
No one forced him to, he made 5mil in the NBA, that woulda been enough to lead a comfortable life for the rest of his life.
@@pato20995 Money is not everything. You can't judge people so easily. His mind probably was not in a good place.
Small brain

Sad to see that due to stress and anxiety he’s turned back into his bad habits
Hope Caleb can make a comeback in life
RIP
@@Taxman3313 so sad to see
Not just as a Blazer fan, I want him to succeed.
sad he didnt- hopefully he gets some help
@@masonklann588 welp
When i saw the news i immediately got flashbacks of this video, rest in paradise and my prayers to his family 🕊️

Caleb is my coach
agrube_savage 1234 he got drafted this year? he probably not a coach for free as a elite D1 college player that's getting drafted
Where do you play at what age
Jens Leth he means he admires and follows caleb's path.
Keep up the good vids man
I remember when I was watching auburn vs Purdue and I heard his story while he was dominating us. He will be amazing one day.
R.I.P. Caleb 😢

Jonathan As someone who was bigger and heavier at that age it's crazy
BiasedRocketsFan 34 How are you holding up now bud?
Landon Collins Great actually. I lost quite a bit of weight and now I'm playing Basketball and Football .
BiasedRocketsFan 34 Hey thats great to hear my guy

Andy your the best!
Congrats young boy
