This was handled somewhat well compared to other guys , you can’t laugh at someone who is clearly going something that’s clearly beyond physical ability
Hope he recovers
Objective Viewer
I think he's talking about how the video addressed the problem.
@@smilebehappy6102 wdym he no nba ready do you not see how he plays without a jumpshot the hustle the defensive effort the craftyness you obviously dont watch basketball
@@hardcoreplayer94 yeah but you have to consider the mental aspect of it too. Sure he's athletic, talented and has a good mind for the game, but if he isn't stable enough on an emotional and mental level the pressure of it all will break him down and will have an affect on his game. Great talent though and I wish him the best
@@smilebehappy6102 literally false people who understand the game and actually no basketball understand that this kid is no bust he just needs to get over himself people who give up on others show how weak you are
Know*
He looked so good in college. But then whatever is happening is just weird
I actually think he is injured. That shot looks so unnatural
@@Dizzinator2114 what if he never wanted to play for them ' what if he goes to another team and BOOM shot fixed 😂🤔🤔🤔
@@djhellmell1507 Hahahhahahahaha this would be a terrible way to get there.
He got a shoulder injury, but just team doctors have been dealing with it. Now he's seeing a specialist, and yes he might need psychological help for his brain/muscle connection. It's not just something to come back from easily.
Its psychological. Same thing is happening with lonzo ball. It's happened in ma y sports many times. I can recall Rick Ankiel, pitcher for STL cardinals, he was an excellent pitcher then all of a sudden couldn't throw a pitch remotely close to the plate. Also chuck knoblach on MIN twins, he was an all star 2nd baseman then couldn't throw from 2nd to 1st for anything. Mental issues.
I'm glad we live in a world more and more sensitive to mental health issues. Hope Markelle can pull through and with the right support capitalize on that enormous talent.
Yo I love it how Stephen a always starts off really quiet and soft spoken and then he starts to raise his voice and get really into the debate. Not necessarily in this video but I’ve noticed that in many others
Jdub thank you very cool
Its a speech technique it gets the audience's attention Hitler used to use it during his speeches
Yes so true lol
Until Fultz speaks for himself stop coming up with all these explanations for him
I dont think he needs to clarify to the world hes seeing a shoulder specialist. It was obvious his shoulder is messed up anyway.
How much longer you want to wait. Been over a year
@@anneharo001 till his shoulder is healed.
@@kanyenorth5265 listen to the team comments and pros. Not his shoulder. Its his head
@@anneharo001 yet hes seeing a shoulder specialist...
Wtf is Molly’s problem. She literally said to Max that she was only asking Stephen A. Like what? Max is waaaay more important to the show than Molly and Max can make a comment whenever he wants. Know your place lady.
Stfu
Jenna is worse
@@oKiirby He said more important than Molly.
@@oKiirby Read that comment again stupid nigga
Shawn Bardhan nah Jenna was better at least she knew when to talk and when to stfu.
First time in a while I've seen the media have a heart and show some empathy.
Yes. Fultz needs prayer my brother. He is real young everyone handles things different. I hope he snaps out this mental status we all go through it at times. Stay strong Fultz.
Not even a month since the trade and the kid is already seeing a specialist - Jimmy Butler effect
Actually Jimmy probably was the one to help him. Dude gets a bad rep.
Kekemay, factz
They trying to say his homie crashed markelle's bike. Markelle ain't wanna void that contract so he let it heal fucked up without surgery. Now it hurts when he lift his arms up. Once recently it hurt so bad he had to double clutch a free throw.
kekemay 55 shits fake 🤦🏾♂️
I was a 19 old kid who joined the Navy and realized right from the moment i boarded my plane to go to Chicago that i was not making the right choice for myself, There were moments in Bootcamp where i would sit there and think of all the ways i could get myself sent home but did not want to feel like i failed then when i joined the fleet those thoughts became daily occurrences. I would purposely avoid doing all the little things they ask you to do shave get my uniform ready for inspection. But did not want to fail so i forced myself to go to work every day at 3am i would push through the day go home and by time i hit my 1 year mark. I would go to work go home got sleep get up at 12 get ready go to work until the weekends then sit in my room and watch TV out side of command PT work and the occasional 10 minute walk to Chillis i wouldn't leave my room. Until one day after them canceling my leave. I blew up and said i was done a month and half later i was on my way back to Ohio. Markelle Fultz is a 20 year old kid who was basically told go and save a franchise then got hurt and has had his issues aired all over the world through internet and sports media go and get Markelle not for your Basket Ball career but for your mental health.
Hows life working out for you now man, would you say leaving the navy was the right choice?
@@mc-jm8bf Yes it was. And Life is very good.And thanks for your concern.
The way in which Max articulated his assertions was perhaps the best vindication I've heard from him... ever. What Max said in this segment was brilliant. 💯
He will be fine, he is still young. Not everyone's bloom shines at the same time. The last comment by SAS was the best.
Molly needs to be sent to the shadow realm
Megas XLR
Ill do it with my dark magician
Shadow realm aka my bedroom
1 like = 1 prayer for Fultz 🙏
Objective Viewer yeah but he’s actually fucked up
Fucc ah prayer.... Fucc ah like...
1 Like = Me scratching my own ass (same effectiveness).
jon Q lmfao then don’t pray for the poor fucked up dude
Peter Battaglia how does a like equal a prayer? Are you going to pray for him every time you get a like? It’s kind of sad you’re seeking attention over somebody’s injury. And wtf is a prayer going to do for his problem anyway? Lol
They are so kind to fultz lol
did molly just say: haha, yeah but i’m asking steven A...fam 😅😅😂🤣😂
He’s 20 years old and hasn’t even played in 30 nba games yet.
Even Tatum and Mitchell struggle at
Times and they have played a full season with playoff games.
Markelle is going to be fine.
Chris Sharp nigga fultz dont kno how to shoot u cant compare him to kno one from his draft class he a bust
CJDa GoAT tj cant even shoot
Chris Sharp This is so confusing, is it an injury or mental or did he get injured then forget how to shoot after recovery? In college he truly looked like the best prospect and shot 41% from 3, only question was his competition.
@@cjcj7763 can't even spell bro lol
Giving him to many excuses. Just accept reality. He tried to change his shot and failed miserably. Now his confidence is gone
I’m dying over that fake Stephen a Smith comment lmao u guys should be relieved that I will be seeing a hairline specialist 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
THE LADIES FACE WEN MAX TALKS ABOUT COACH MACKY IS HILARIOUS 🤣 SHE HATES THE COACH MACKIE STORIES!!
2:47 that freethrow 😂😂😂 buddy a nervous reck
THIS BROTHER
IS NOT SPECIAL
😂😂😂
W
Akashi Rose LEMME BE VERRY VERRRY CLEARRRR
Akashi Rose why everyone always have an opinion just watch em play shut up nigga
THIS DUDE
CAN NOT BALL
Sooooo what was he doing before?
If he going thru something mentally I wish the best for him mentally ain’t no joke 🙏
Hope the shoulder recovers properly kid clearly has talent on both ends
😂😂😂 he always saying Philadelphia eagles on accident
Not sure if it's their intention. But mental health is real, and it's not nothing to joke about. I hope they are not making light of that just for jokes.
I had a impingement in my right shoulder took more than a year just to heal. I couldn’t even hold my arm above my head cuz the pain was so bad, I was shooting like lonzo too. He just needs time to heal.
He gon be a STAR
1) Fultz is not a bust
2) let’s not act like every game he plays is bad , it’s just very inconsistent .
Arthur P. He is a bust he shouldn’t even be in the nba
Fultz is GOAT what are you talking about bust?
I honestly been enjoying seeing him play,I just hate his form men, but he puts up some points, I think he needs help, I think he is confused and force ripe if u get me
BUST
If you're the #1 pick and forget your jumper and are far from remembering it you are a bust
THE MONSTARS TOOK FULTZ SKILLS AWAY
#SPACEJAM2
Y’all are severely underrated him in terms of what he brings to the table
It's nerve damage.... my cousin went through the same thing. Elbow and shoulder nerve was done and they went a yr without finding the root issue was in his neck... it's all nerve
What's happening to Markelle Fultz have nothing to do with demons or family pressure.... the young man had a motorbike accident, dislocated his shoulder and is now suffering some form of backlash or trauma to the brain knocking his equilibrium of balance this type of injury is what some professional Boxers / Football players suffer from, it can be a career ending injury. many doctors can misdiagnosed because it is all internal.
I just dont understand why the sixers are in " win now" mode. Their "core" guys are on rookie contracts and are young af. Should be aiming for in a couple years after Thanos snaps that warriors team into unversial balance. But too late they already got into the kids head because they wanted to prove their tanking waa worth the embarassment.Sixers actually suck at drafting and got lucky on a couple of obvious high picks. Kid needs time not discouragement. Hows Jahlil Okafor doing and how come he didnt get this much shit?
Jahlil was drafted with 3 centers lol
Jahlil and Noel got a lot of shit. They’re in win mode because they’re a top 5 market in sports and they’ve been trash for damn near 10 years. They have a potentially generational talent at center and a freak of nature 6’10 point guard. They should be doing something.
When u have a MVP caliber player on your team....the window suddenly opens up. You take advantage, not knowing how long the window will be open. We are hoping for a decade but no one knows how tomorrow plays out. Besides, they got almost a decade worth of tanking. Executive producers want product to be shown. I'm hoping for good health and consistency.
Spring Heeled Jack every team from the east is in that mode since the king went west
Colangelo sucks at drafting*
As a Philly native and fan I am glad he is getting help. I hope the Sixers don't trade him and stick with him like they did with Embiid. He's only 20 and as so much potential. Dude killed it in college.
Crazy how different they approach fultz vs lonzo topics in terms of yelling bust or not
I doubt Fultz makes it past his rookie contract.
Imagine if he plays the same when he comes back 😂
I mean seeing a shoulder specialist doesn't mean they heal that shit in 10 minutes. He will probably have to get surgery, sit out the rest of the season, and retrain himself all over again. Very long process.
Its about damn time
I can’t wait to he rises above the madness
Dang Max must really hate Molly. Each time she opened her mouth he cut her off or challenged her.
The real issue here is stephan"i know melo for over 10 years"smith hairline!!😂😅
G.O.A.B.= GREATEST OF ALL BUSTS
Yea it's really all mental for Fultz right now tbh. Hopefully he gets through it all tho.
This man and the Philadelphia eagles (SOMEBODY DRUG TEST THIS MAN)
KingFameJon right twice today
Tatum>>>>Fultz and Lonzo combine
Legod is the best ever Some Legends gots no rings Lonzo is way better than Tatum
Deuante Kelly how
Deuante Kelly dearon Fox is better then Lonzo bro😂 don’t even
Legod is the best ever Some Legends gots no rings nah bruh Tatum a better scorer than zo but lonzo does so much on a court, Tatum is better but not >>>>>>
Tatum has been 💩 this season
2:50 wtf is that free throw😂😂😂😂
I got a injury where my elbow doesn’t fully extend from a b-ball game So obviously my shot is different for life cause my arm is different for life. He just has to keep working n find a comfortable shot
Markelle is trolling hard
"He's seeing shoulder specialist he should be seeing a head specialist "😂😂😂
I haven’t heard anybody talk about Dennis Smith jr this year , is he playing ?
Arthur P. Yeah, doing well too
just being overshadowed by doncic, but hes solid
Heard some fans saying he's playing a bit too much,or at least is getting a bit much of the ball over Doncic
Dude ain’t got not confidence you feel me you need a lot of that to play this beautiful Game !!!!
I'd take a gamble on Fultz. If 76ers don't want him give him to the Knicks. We're filled with reclamation projects already. lol.
Faaax
He’d become a full blown anxiety ridden psychotic who’d shoot the ball in the stands if he played one minute for that joke team 😂
Burke, Mudiay, and then Fultz too lol
I don't feel bad for any athlete making millions to play a kid's game..
It's people out here feeling real life pressure 😒
Kids are playing man games, not the other way around.
Mr Smarty-pants
You do it then since it’s so easy. It’s a kids game after all.
Not every athlete was privileged growing up. Jimmy Butler is a prime example.
@@kennyfoster2569 Thats definitely true but hes saying that he "doesn't feel sorry for any of them." I got what he was saying. They deal with life but they are accomadated very well to where they are somewhat privileged than your average person. For example if a typical person couldn't do their job well they would probably be fired with nothing. These guys are straight, win,lose or draw, injured or healthy.
lawreneph they do get fired. There are 402 people in the NBA. They made it out of millions that got fired/didn’t get a call for a job. These guys are just at the top of their craft just as if the 200th best computer programmer gets fired from Apple, another company will call them right away.
As a Raptors fan, I have zero incentive to see this kid get better... but damn, I really hope he does. I know when I was 20 years old I couldn't have handled a stage like this, I could hardly make ends meet at all... but with a little work and a lot more self-love, things can get better.
You're in our thoughts Markelle 🙏
I hope Markelle figures it out watever it is God will help him. I really want to see him shine.
Just imagine if the Sixers drafted Tatum
I'm glad they wasn't, maybe Tatum were going to be the one who forget how to shoot
Shrek or anybody else but him
Celtics won't take fultz as they already have a ball dominant Kyrie, so the only reason why Celtics agree the trade is because 76ers is going to get Fultz
Or Donovan
Fultz has a mental problem he needs his confidence back
He has Yips... that's a disease on the muscle memory.
Lin Liu how do you recover?
DJT TV take time to find yourself again
I have same experience with fultz maybe he is a gamer coz when u play too much video games or mobile games it will affect your shoulder and when i reduce the playing time my shoulder heals came back 100%. Its been a yr when i had that experience
If he needs sit out this year to get his shoulder back and to get his confidence back he should do it
Trae Young > Lonzo and Fultz combined 😂😂😂
Doncic > Young
LMFAO LONZO SHITS ON TRAE
HAHAHA GTFOH....Lonzos been reduced to a shitty spot up shooter. Trae's an actual, legit playmaker.
@@2160michael Doncic > Young
Green Runs Deep hell no
Fultz is a bigger bust than Greg oden
SharaRanks that’s a little different scenario there sweetheart, Oden would have been great if he hadn’t got injured. This dudes issues are more than that.
Oden was 40 years old when he made his nba debut so you can’t really blame him
Kizaru Borsalino lmfao he looked 40, but def came into the league at like 19 years old
Kizaru Borsalino yeah but would you of chose him over KD ??
Kwame Brown doesn't look so bad now lol
Just admit it already shit! Fultz is a bust. Simple.
I heard he got hurt in a motorcycle accident after shooting 37 percent from the 3pt line last year in summer league
Just waiting for the day Steven A declares Fultz “a bonafide scrub!!!!!!!”
Brian Colangelo, the worst GM ever, drafted Bargnani and Fultz #1 overall. Let that sink in. They are going to go down as 2 of the biggest busts of all time who went #1 (along with Bennet) .
Aaron N Bargnani wasnt that bad of a player. He definitely isnt considered to be one of the biggest bust of all time.
@@likemike2945 Im a raps fan. trust me he is......dudes not even in the league anymore and had no injury issues at all.
bargain wasnt bad and fultz is still injured. you clowns don't call oden a bust because he got injured so it doesn't make sense why you call fultz a bust.
Bryn Forbes bargnani is not bad becuz hes high usage. he cant defend me and hes role player at best
Bryn Forbes MFer lied about his motorcycle accident
this could have easily happen to lonzo but luckily Lavar installed mental toughness
Yeaa go Fultz
SMH, #1 and #2 picks are both busts
vinul g Youre an idiot Lonzo is far from a bust
vinul g zo isn’t a bust just disappointing , fultz I’ll give him another year to show he at least has potential
Zo is a bust in the sense that he got picked way before all the other great rookies
Lonzo can barley score 10 a night and shoots bellow 40% dudes a bonafide bust
@@Datníğğa123 there is other parts of basketball other than shooting
Fultz is a bust. Credit to him for making it to the NBA, that alone is an accomplishment but he's a bust. I mean come on. What the hell is he doing from the line? Also his team doesn't need him not even as a towel boy. Man probably doesn't have trade value anymore. For a top pick he's looking too bad.
Yes he’s looking like a bust but if he never injured that shoulder he would be good. He used to shoot just fine
People thought the same thing about embiid, you’ll regret it
RIP XXXTENTACION We hadn’t seen Embiid play tho when people were saying that stuff. When he played he was a monster in his first season
@@ForeverVibez I mean hopefully you're right, as it stands tho hes a bust
Fultz will be fine. The kids only played like 30 games give or take whatever..
If Simmons wasn't their starter you'd see Fultz shine. His roll is taken right now.
Markelle Fultz does give off the impression that he does have anxiety disorder. Maybe even depression. I understand this as much as anyone who struggles with this. It's not just, "Oh he or she has mental issues." This is his health we're talking about. Stress kills. He needs to take care of his body - his gut, mind, and overall health. Your health is #1. Get well, Markelle.
He is going to start at the all star game just watch
He a bum
He is bust, that is all
I developed a scapular imbalance too from pitching baseballs over time (where your shoulder blades wont lay flat or one is rotated forward).......I also have a bulging disc irritating the crap out of me right between my shoulder blades in the same area.......my shot is fine. Obviously I am nowhere near an NBA player. I'm just saying from a mechanical standpoint, it doesnt stop me from taking whatever my normal crappy shot is.
I would buy that these problems are caused by a rotator cuff issue, bursitis, or impinged tendons/tendonitis. But a scapular imbalance? Nah.
Stephen A- marco follz !!!
Fultz and Lonzo are bust 💯💯
Lonzo?
Lonzo IS a bust. Magic needs to go head and package him for Beal or Kemba.
Blaise You’re an idiot please don’t talk basketball again
Legod is the best ever Some Legends gots no rings lonzo very underrated but this is coming from a bunch of duds that probably don’t even watch lakers games just look up the stat sheet or bleacher report milk head
I wouldnt say they are bust yet they need time to develop lonzo was injuried all last years basically so was fultz this year lonzo has to deal with alot of adversities a team with lebron and rondo thats two points guard of a high level its tough for any rookie point guard to shine along side them two
As a philadelphia sports fan.
Nelson Agholor is a prime example of what Markelle Fultz is now.
Agholor couldnt catch to save his life, looked like a bust for the first two seasons of his career, was quite frankly, about to be cut from the team, then he came out and admitted he has anxiety issues, and since then...........hes finally turned into that 1st round pick he was supposed to be.
My educated guess is after that public admittance, he was quickly given the correct treatment he needed from day one and is on something that has made his anxiety disappear.
This is exactly what fultz is going through in my opinion, and im not gonna lie, I wanted Agholor out of town, but once he said the anxiety shit I felt bad for the dude because its exactly what I have as well so I know what its like.
Same thing goes for Fultz right now, to be frankly honest, im about over this dude as we speak right now.
He pretends hes too strong to admit he has mental issues and keeps blaming his real problems on made up shoulder injuries and now apparently his wrist has phantom issues as well.
When he shoots the ball in that almost frozen, stiff manner, thats a prime example of somebody dealing with anxiety, believe me, I know what its like to have it effect me.
What makes this theory even more convincing to me is how I saw his offseason workouts and he looked like he was perfectly fine, and then as the season went on, it slowly reverted back to what it was prior.
Its all in his head and until he comes to terms with that and doesnt feel like hes not a man if he admits it, hes not going to have a very long career.
He strikes me as a man who doesnt believe in psychological issues and I think hes too proud or whatever to admit whats really going on with him.
I mean after watching Amari Cooper publicly troll Fultz on national tv with his touchdown celebration and then seeing Fultz just laugh about it in his reaction.
Fultz is just giving me one bad vibe after another, that tells me he doesnt care enough to get his problems fixed and thinks its funny when people mock him for his quickly fading nba career.
The last thing someone should do when they're being publicly humiliated on national tv is just laugh it off when the reason they're being humiliated is because of something they can fix, but arent doing it and thus make everyone who roots or works for the team look like a complete moron and embarrassed to say we chose you.
Why when I see him on the court he seems perfectly fine and actually balls a lil...media not helping perception of this kid
My shoulder fucked up too. Shit sucks.
Max said to think back when you were 20... Hmm, I was fighting in the triangle of death during OIF 3 keeping myself and my battles alive but no pressure right!? Markelle will be fine, his shot isn't THAT bad and he seems pretty confident on the court. Just give em' time.
What the hell did he do to his shoulder that made him do that screwed up hand to hand free throw shot?
AYEEEEEE SACRAMENTO GOT SOME AIR TIME ON ESPN👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Finally, everyone across the league has known its town for a while
He look like Tracy Chapman mid transition
Stephen a smith has connects on every team lol
He needs to be put on Valium dose to losen up n just flow wit his shots
Gordon Ramsey was like, "Cooking makes you an Australian."
It almost seems like everyone is predicting the kid is a bust and he may be, but I really empathize with someone who everyone is rooting against and although there’s little hope for him because the NBA is so full of talent I still hope that he can shock everyone and be a good baller in this league, go Markell go.
Fultz got in a motorcycle accident that people kept under hush and it really fucked up his shoulder and because of him trying to hide that he forced things and then the mental stuff got weird cuz they were lying and he was #1 overall too. That’s too much pressure.
If it’s mental then He has my support 100% ... Anxiety is the number one disease in American... I’ve seen Anxiety make people become shells of them selfs
I dont feel like 76ers have to 'validate' anything. Does Trust The Process only mean for ppl favorites or is it a TEAM motto!? Show him loyalty and help him thru these issues!
Man he a buss fuck all dat
“I’m incredibly relieved I’m incrediiillyyy relieved” - Stephen a smith
De Andre Jordan, Andrei Drummond fix their free throw. He should see their shooting coach. Karl Malone went to see a psychologist to fix his free throw too. Doc suggested that murmurs during free throw. 😁
Almost wonder if his issue is similar to what laundry fields had. If I recall correctly he shot well while on Knicks then when raps signed him he ended up having some kind of nerve damage in his wrist or something and could never shoot well again. Realize fultz is supposed to be a better player then fields ever was but I'm just looking at the shooting aspect.
If fultz does get better i could see him averaging 16 pts 10 ast 2 stls. Something around those lines
Fulz in his best season will never AVG over 5 assist
@@yunggpacino If he can reach max potential he can definitely average at least 6 assists with NBA talent
I agree w 6ast the most.
He needs a shooting sleeve that doesn't move to tuck in his arm
Reminds me of MCW
3:01 Max the real MVP
It's not necessarily a mental issue. He may be dealing with type of task specific dystonia which can occur more often in people who practice highly repetitive motor activity (musicians in particular are prone to this). He should get an opinion from a neurologist that specializes in movement disorders if he hasn't yet already as it is probably not an orthopedic issue.
