that Greg Oden clip where the old lady says "I can beat you" you can tell it hurt oden, not because of what she said but because he genuinely could have been one of the best big men of all time.
yeah he could at least been an allstar maybe even a championship run but sadly injuries is just there to ruined anyones career
Imagine if Portland had a healthy Brandon Roy and Greg Oden they would've won for years
@@Paul-wu7xd 😢😢 with Dame and Aldridge
Stephon Marbury not only played overseas in China, he also managed to get a statue of himself there *before* Yao Ming.
Not only that, but during his NBA career Marbury released his own shoes known as Starbury that were affordable.
_He is still a legend no matter how his NBA career transpired in my honest opinion._
Even if you don’t count his career in China, he’s a legend period. He was an amazing player that was just in bad teams most of the time.
@@bandito241he was the reason those teams were bad Marbury was not coachable, a bad teammate, and a locker room cancer check his days in New York he was a victim of himself. Acting like that was the main reason is ridiculous no one had it out for him Marbury just didn’t want to behave himself like a superstar.
When he arrived to China he was highly doubted because everyone knew his history but for some reason he completely transformed into a model professional both on and off the court. If only he done that earlier but such is life.
wished Marbury stayed in Minnesota playing with KG. His passing is underrated.
@@sippinshis ego was out of this world tho. Like 70 million ain’t enough?
That oden clip with the old lady is heartbreaking man 😢
😢😢grandma did him dirty
The way his smile dropped off genuinely hurt my soul.
Was that some sort of prank channel or something? Old women don't just walk to to obvious basketball player types and say the can beat them. Kind of insensitive if it was, considering his history.
@@dayosticalyeah it was a prank channel talking to random people on the streets
She ethered him
Greg Oden is a heartbreaker. Looking back in hindsight you still take him #1. He was such a dominant force with Ohio State that you thought that would translate over to the NBA. With Aldridge and Roy this looked to be a talented young trio in the NBA. Unfortunately those knee injuries killed his career.
With the benefit of hindsight I’m sure the Blazers would’ve picked KD instead
Didn't he want to be a dentist after college and was forced to play basketball because of his size? The Blazers had two choices to draft; a tall, lanky forward with guard skills and shooting or a 7 footer with a gigantic red flag for recurring injuries with one leg being shorter than the other.
@@lt_johnmcclane Durant, Roy, and Aldridge, that would have been a formidable team in the Western Conference. I can imagine the battles they'll have with the big 3 Celtics, Spurs, and Kobe Gasol Lakers.
@@andycanoy863hindsight means you already know that Oden would be injured and a bust. You’re telling me they would still take him knowing that? Even without knowing that KD’s season at Texas was one of the best we’ve seen. I understand the roster construction of the Blazers meant that they would take a big man but KD was the better college player
So true. He did nothing wrong, such a shame he couldn't show his all-star caliber potential :/
Sprewell couldn't feed his family in the end..
😂
🙄
He had freeloading relatives
It was crazy to hear and read that quote in the news as why he declined the contract
@@andrewoolmanunless he had 100 relatives depending on him I doubt it, also very unlikely for someone like him to have a big family
The sad part about Oden was on the small sample size with the three of them, 50-12, we could conclude that they could be a power house in the incoming years. And with his physical dominance, he could be a superstar in the league that time.
John Wall story sucks the most to me!! Man was balling out and injuries destroyed him and was never the same again!!
He got his money, he ain’t suffering at all.
not at all greg oden is the nicest gu he never had a chance to play nor get big money something that wall alread has...
@@313gwar right
@@313gwartrue like who cares about legacy when you got 100ms in the bank 😂 that’s a good enough legacy for me
John Wall in his prime was explosive. It was hard to defend against that 1st step. But hey he got a nice final contract.
If Oden and Roy stayed healthy, I think that trio could’ve won a title.
With Lamarcus Aldridge yeah I can see it
if not multiple titles
Definitely not man. They aren’t beating golden state or San Antonio
@@ry_an.Portland would've already been on the rise before GS.They would've had to worry about the Lakers and Spurs.
@@ry_an. gs wasn't good at that time
My guy Marbury became the king of Chinese basket ball and is a icon over there. Think he doing alright.
this guy must hate marbury for something like Steph is huge in China.
Greg Odens story just makes me want to cry everytime I hear or see it and that clip with the older woman can bring tears to ur eyes...Greg Oden would've been one of the best players in the league but sadly injury's messed up everything...hearing he graduated and is doing good in the community with young men is fantastic
Beasley had a terrible end to his career
His entire career was just letdown followed by another letdown.
Beasley's attitude was an issue
He was posting suicidal type of stories for a while after his mum died too.
Stephon Marbury was a trailblazer. Scoring PG w/ elite level passing. However, his ZERO defensive effort made him damn near impossible to truly play in crunch time, especially in an era of dominant perimeter players.
Phoenix could’ve used Wall this season or any kind of PG for that matter
And it would have reunited Wall with Beal
Lakers could hire Wall instead Dinwinddie
Just Stop Wall is washed and is too old his time is over.
which proves its over for him.
IT on 10-day
Wait, phoenix needs a PG? Didn't they have Chris Paul? Why'd they get rid of a player also known as point-god?
Honorable mention = Vin Baker
He was one of the greatest point guards to come out of New York City; a star at Lincoln High School Stephon Marbury had it all.
He starred for a season at Georgia Tech before becoming a top 5 pick in the legendary 1996 NBA draft.
His first few seasons would see him team up with Kevin Garnett in Minnesota, while also putting the AND1 brand on the map as their first major signing.
"Wall was a great teammate and never burned any bridges" thats ABSOLUTELY FALSE. Wall scorched earth on his way out of Houston. Bro got in his own way and thats why hes not in the league right now
Plus also he's washed that played a factor too.
@@airfrance4365 Facts. Got his chance with the Clipper's and did absolutely nothing with it
As of the moment of this video, Isaiah Thomas is currently on the Phoenix Suns only for a 10-day contract. Not sure if they can sign him for the rest of the season.
Also Lebrons Cleveland teammate that supposedly dated his mother lost his mind homeless in the streets. Dallas owner tried to helo. Sad
Delonte West. And it’s hilarious what happened to the dumbass lol
Now we need some uplifting NBA stuff. Like Dwight Powell stuff
Still waiting for you to make a video about NBA players who once dated a celebrity (ex. Andre Drummond and Jennette McCurdy) and the couple one I've been requested for a long time like NBA players that were hated on their respective cities (Bill Laimbeer in Boston) and what in the world happen to Devonte Graham.
Kris Humphries 😂
Tristian Thompson
And I’m sure Drummond *destroyed* McCurdy
i couldnt give 2 shits about who these players dated.
Ask nicely at least always
I used to think John Wall was great when I was younger but after a while I realized he was terrible 4th quarter player , foul hunted alot while driving to the rim , He was the type of player to pad his assists instead of playing team basketball and whenever couldn't score he would kick it out to his teammates last minute of the shot clock to bail him out . The only thing I actually liked about his game was his P&R game with Gortat everything else didn't resort to winning basketball
Honorable mention to Kemba Walker when he had those injuries, he never was the same
Steve Francis also had a pretty depressing end to his career
Those Knicks years with Starbury and Francis and Isiah Thomas, the good ol days😂
@@billblaski9523and T-Mac and Penny and every other washed up star they could overpay
It must be really suck to these guys career ended the way they didn't want to. Hopefully they can find peace.
Another banger video Andy
John Wall is a good passer he can run a second unit but his shooting was already inconsistent before injuries and his athleticism is basically gone now because of those injuries.
why did that old lady really say that to greg oden, that was really random
Perfect music choice
I feel so bad for Oden man… so sad
2:23 Well actually Marbury did lead the Knicks back to the playoffs but only because they were in the East and got swept out of the first round. The Larry Brown feud, that was 2 seasons later.
It’s sad to see them go out like this!! But they got life changing money, most of them that is!!
hot take, joel embiid is what greg oden would have been if it wasnt for injuries
It’s crazy how despite being a injury prone player he’s a Hof’er
Nice vid.Do another 4 players who dissappear from nba
Bro come to think of it. John Wall was almost a Ben Simmons. He also came jnto the league with a very shaky jump shot. But he worked on it.
Not even close Wall wasn't a great shooter earlier in his career. But he was afraid to shoot the ball. So don't even put him in the same sentence as that walking waste of talent Simmons.
@@airfrance4365 its closest thing i could compare Simmons to. I feel you though, what Ben has done is just insane man.
Markelle Fultz went to hell, came back and went straight to the gym. All this time, Ben did nothing.
@fredm.2699 Terrible comparison , there are tons of examples of players with a bad jumpshot then worked on it , it's a completely different thing to refuse to shoot outside of the paint not even including a 3pt shot .
@@jason10184 your opinion was already shared, and i addressed it. Someone earlier said something similar to you.
I hope you feel heard.
*The NBA and Nike (the organization that stole Kawhi's Klaw logo) wanted Stephon Marbury out! How dare he provide affordable shoes to kids!? He must be stopped by any means necessary!!*
Go away
sad to see them go like this especially wall I guess not all nba players go out with a bang it sucks but it is what it is😢
Wall was a beast before injuries in Washington but literally got waived by the same team twice in the span of a year. Dudes gotta read the room a little
Well Isaiah just got a 10 day with the Suns right?
As a John wall fan it might just cross my mind every day it’s so heartbreaking , it wasn’t supposed to end in 2016. And we haven’t had a real team since
I’ll never understand why magic wouldn’t just keep it between him and the doctor😭
Andy Hoops, do a list of notable NBA players that played overseas!
I completly forgot Marbury Played for the celtics, damn
great video
The late 2000's Trailblazers were definitely a big what if story. I believe that them being fully healthy would have given Kobe and the Lakers a hard time.
If Magic Johnson never got HIV, he would have easily been a top 4 player in NBA history.
I'd say he is a top 4 player all time even with his early retirement. In the no particular order Kareem, Jordan and LeBron would be my top 3 and then him at 4 with Bird/Duncan in the 5-6 spots.
Magic was already solidified after winning 5 rings in the 80s but at the same time he was getting older
Magic is already considered a Top 5 player. He'd be in the GOAT conversation if he never got sick.
@@drago2689he really isn’t though. He doesn’t have the longevity of any of the other players you mentioned. Top 10 sure but there’s been other players now who have been too great for too long to say magic is top 4. Borderline lunacy if you ask me
@@reubenoseguera2279A bit more longevity means what though in reality? A few more All star/All NBA selections and some better career totals?
Magic has 3 MVPs, 5 championships, and 3 FMVPs. That alone puts him in the convo with anyone in the top 10.
Plus 9+ All NBA 1st team selections puts him in club with only 12 other guys and of those he has as many or more championships, FMVPS, or MVPs as just 4 of them.
And easily had the longevity to play another 3-4 years at All star level as evidenced by his short comeback play and probably would've been 1st or 2nd All time in assists had he kept going and still is to this day the all time leader in playoff assists. He literally has the highest win % of all time. I'll definitely take 12 years of dominance from arguably the greatest offensive player of all time than a 15-20 career year with less MVPs, championships, FMVPs, first team selections, etc.
Babe wake up, Andy Hoops uploaded
You can probably mention Delonte West as well.
Greg oden and derrick rose are the saddest in the nba. In the nfl, its RG3. All 3 were promising superstars, all had tragic endings. D rose is the only one who is still doing it though
If IT can still make a comeback into the league then I think Wall still can get back, he was a really good playmaker and could be a backup PG still
Marberry had a total career resurgence in China. His contributions to the game globally is hall of fame worth. IMO he should get in for his work overseas.
At the start of the video 4 of the most depressing end of an nba career. At the end of the video, thats 5 of the most depressing end of an nba career 😂 Andy Plssssss 😅
I can't help but think of David Thompson when a topic like this is raised.
David Thompson was a 6'4" guard with a 48" vertical out of NC State back in the late '70s. He was drafted by the then-ABA Denver Nuggets and was the ABA Rookie of the Year in 1975-76. The Nuggets were one of the four teams that joined the NBA after the merger, and Thompson was an immediate All-Star, averaging 26ppg over his first four NBA seasons. In 1978, he put up a career high 73 points in a 139-137 loss against the Detroit Pistons. Nicknamed "The Skywalker", he looked to have a Top-Level Hall of Fame Career ahead of him.
But, as he's said more than once, drugs ruined his career. Specifically cocaine. Having signed a then-record $4 million over 5 years contract, while high on coke at New York's famous Studio 54 disco, he fell down a flight of stairs and tore up a knee. Though he played several seasons after that, he was never The Skywalker again. This was an incredibly gifted, supremely talented basketball player. Were it not for drugs, I think his name could be mentioned in the same company as Kobe and- yes- Jordan.
F john wall, i remember when i was in HS, i saw him at a summer league game and i asked if he could take a picture, but he said no. Karmas a b****
john wall so soft 😹 wallK
Who asked
Maybe he was busy?
John wall was a conceited fuck. He ate good off dc fans though so yeah
U just not photogenic lol
Losing a parent can send you to some dark places.
I miss prime John Wall a lot man 😔
We love you Greg Oden. Straight from New Castle IN buddy
You only covered 4, not 5 @ 11:53
Greg Oden imagine stay healthy he's career in NBA
Brandon Roy!😢
Stephon Marbury now prolly is more famous than every. He's a star in China and Hong Kong now
Sometimes your purpose is bigger than what you are meaning a example to others to show to never give up! Just a different route!
Knowing a big fella like Greg Oden was sobbing of pure impotence in front of TV really broke my heart.
Andy’s back….back again…Andy’s back….tell a friend
Where is isaiahs part andy? 😂
Jeremy Lin’s story was depressing as well …. Especially given how fast he rose to prominence and how inspiring his rise to stardom had been
I cried 😢 when magic got hiv Now he might outlive us all
Oh dear, John Wall's story broke my heart. It triggered my depression to be honest. 😢
As a fan of wall it’s sad to see him not play, but he’s honestly a hall of fame bag finesser and I love that for him
Those Isiah Thomas years on the Knicks, with Marbury and Steve Francis, good ol days😂
I wish John Wall would have joined a better team than the rockets and he could’ve been doing much better for his career, he brought a certain swag to Finishing and Playmaking that very few ppl do…
He’s washed let it go
idk how depresssing it was for Marbury when he got his own statue, lifelong job, endorsements and is a legend to the most populated country in the world.
isaiah thomas snubbed from the list
Poor Oden aka Lebron's Father XD - the blazer's got snakebit during the 2000s for sure
And ol' Johnny Wall - dude had the next best handles to Kyrie but being gone for those 2 years really hurt him
John Walls career ended from getting trade back to the Rockets😭
What?
@@CatsClaw44 Wall was traded to the rockets in exchange for Westbrook, after 2 seasons with the rockets he got waived and signed with the clippers after a few months before the trade deadline he got traded to the rockets again and later waived.
It was the weirdest trade deadline where some players ended up going back to their former teams
Wall even had beef with the Rockets, he was eager to get another buyout with the Rockets and after that he was no longer in a team
Oden is a tragedy. He was destined to the greatness, and he never shined as he should have, because of his injuries
the Roy, Aldridge & Oden trio is a big what if... maybe in some dimension it worked.
Wall & Beal really had me thinking DC was gonna win multiple chips 😭
2:27 If you look closely Marbury and Coach Brown are NOT actually standing in front of each other. Just a great picture trick
Imagine a team with Kobe at the 2, Shaq at the 5 and freaking Magic Johnson at the 4. Magic would have averaged like 10 assists in 15 mins
Magic would be 40 years old.
Damn I’m actually really happy Greg Oden got to find peace in the end
Gilbert arenas, Allen iverson, Isiah Thomas , Darius miles , bison dele, latrell sprewell , alvin robertson, lonrenzo wright , malik sealey, isiah rider, rodney rogers, shawn kemp, vin baker , Robert trailer, and many more have their career ended depressing
Big problem with Wall is that his game didnt really expand. So once he wasnt as fast as a bullet, his whole game got taken from him.
He could've had a career as an older player if he developed his jumper.
I kno an auto body shop in Brooklyn that has an old Porsche from Sprewell that he couldn’t afford to pay the cost of the work or the for car anymore so the car sits there as a collectors item
Even at the time a lot of pepple knew Portland was making a mistake. In 2007 I had needed knee surgery myself. My Doctor at thetime shook his head when we talked about Oden. 'He is going to have horrific knee and leg injuries" I was told a few days after we drafted him. The Doctor could tell that having one leg be literally 1.5 inches or 5cm lonher was going to not lead to a long career. He was right too.
Oden's story is just sad man. Injuries suck but not everyone is built the same.
Of all 4 player on this vid, I'd say Oden's is the most inspirational. Why? At the end, he was able to find his life's purpose. Finding joy in young players' development.
So Shaq and Magic somehow had a chance to play with each other
Surprising that as a Knicks fan, You'd mention Jeremy Lin
He wasn't a star
But he definitely qualified "on the top of the world" at one point
If it weren't for that season ending knee injury on the first game of the season
He could possibly stay in the league for few more years
5:20 the Blazers didn’t draft Aldridge. As a disappointed Bulls fan I remember the awful draft day trade of Aldridge for Tyrus Thomas with 1 of the 2 picks from the Eddie Curry trade. The following year I was hopeful the 2nd would convey to #1 with generational talent Greg Oden available and instead got Joakim Noah, who was a better pro than Oden but still not quite the offensive player they needed in the post 😢
I can tell you as a Blazer fan, we should've taken KD over Oden. He had a history of injury in college and critics were warning us not to take him. Blazers also passed up Michael Jordan for Sam Bowie, so what else do we expect from this franchise?
you need to update this video with Klay Thompson, going out on a 0-10 0 points game.
Crazy you didn’t mention Chris Bosh
Knick fan here! i would take the Isiah days over the Phil jackson days in a hearbeat!
Jeremy Lynn can be put on that list as well!
Nope
That Kevin Durant comment in the Greg Oden segment made me look up KD's Wikipedia. Apparently, if it wasn't for the one-and-done rule, he would have gone straight out of high-school in 2006, and NY homeboy the Raptors might have drafted him 1st overall 😭
let's be honest. maigc always struggle to guard smaller guards and on defensive end, the greatest strength is his versatility due to his height and length. he wasn't as good the defender people thought him to be.
Rondos career ended as a smoldering dumpster fire. The last 8 yrs of his career average 2-3 trades a yr - no one wanted him.
Got a fake chip in the bubble - any guard could have ridden in that bus seat - but his even for a guy who’s no longer even a top 50 PG in the league, getting benched throughout finals the following year (clippers) was a whole new level of being marginalized.
He bounced around for a few more years but no one needs a guy who can’t score, isn’t great on defense, has no physicality and a sh!t attitude and so he never got picked up again
Reggie Lewis’s end kinda really blew, Len Bias’s REALLY blew.
Some of these guys actually like Marbury brought their sad endings on themselves
When I saw a video of wall throwing up gang signs, that’s when I was like he is on his way out. Still a great player!
