He was one of the best defenders in the NBA, he just lacked offensive game. One of my all time favourite players tho
he really wasnt, he was an overrated defender. never made an all defensive team and that was the reason he was the #2 pick. a guy like andre roberson was a better player and had a better career than MKG
@@walterreed5849He was 9th in DPOY voting in his 3rd year. If you swapped Roberson and MKG he would've had more accolades. Roberson benefitted from being the best perimeter defender on a team beside two top scorers. MKG at the very least was as good of a defender, a better rebounder, and better free throw shooter than Roberson. Doesn't make him any less of a bust. But that's just scraping the barrel in terms of takes.
@@duncanonme8744this the number 2 pick you talking about btw he’s supposed to be him regardless. He was a bust lucky he didn’t get drafted next to other HOfers beside AD
Best defender? He didn’t even average 1.0 steals or blocks ever in his career
He was great on the defensive end but his lack of polish on offense and constant injury problems caused a lot of struggles in his career.
The video CLEARLY covered that bro.
@@Whunter22exactly 😭😭😭😭
He was so bad, he played 8 years in the most elite league in the world.
Things like "Bad" and "Good" are relevant to the competition. He was bad for NBA standards, obviously he could go at any local Gym (or even certain pro leagues) and easily drop 50
@@OK-yy6qz Bad for NBA standards would have been cut from the summer league before ever making his debut. Not lasting on a roster for 8 seasons taking up a spot that could have gone to someone else.
@@edmundsmemorabiliahe was bad bro get over it
I once saw him playing 1 on 1 at a local gym and he beat the guy 50-0, then it was 2 on 1 and he beat them 50-0, eventually it was 3000 on 1, MKG beat them 50-0.
You must be his cousin
He was always super decent in the 2Ks for some reason haha
Yea he used to lock niggas up jam on anybody nd was automatic on corner catch n shoots
All slashers that can dunk are a problem in 2K lol
When your first game is nearly a quadruple double
I played against him @ The ESPN AAU NATIONALS IN DISNEY WORLD, in Orlando FL. HE DROPPED 30 in the 1ST HALF! KILLED US! 😭😭🥴🥴
They molded him to be the main man of the team which is not his strength at all
when ur taken number 2 in a loaded draft class that is the expectation. no one is drafting a defensive specialist number 2
@@walterreed5849 but they did tho
with the expectation on top of his defensive prowess that he could develop his offense to a 2 way star level, not become a worse andre roberson@@malagwala340vi6
@@walterreed5849but his scouting report was literally pros being his defense and hustle and not projected to be a great offensive player tho?
If Mark Price can't save you....its over.
He was truly bad because his jumpshots was the worst thing I’ve ever seen in basketball history. I mean who really shoot the ball the way he does. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was drafted in the same class with Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard, Bradley Beal and Draymond Green. At least, he played in the league for 8 seasons and we didn’t see him again after that.
Apparently, you've never seen Shawn Marion or Bill Cartwright shoot a basketball.
It’s crazy organizations think they can remake a broken jump shot.
You can't be that bad and have played 8 years in a professional league that consists of only 400 players on 30 teams. Anthony Bennett was terrible. Kidd Gilchrist had a broken jumpshot and was injury prone.
There’s no doubt! Anybody in the NBA are among the best in the world. The series is based on outcome compared to expectation🏀
I knew from college his game woulndt work in the NBA. He was one of those cases i feel, where the popularity of his highschool helped his career. If he went to a local NONE powerrhouse highschool, he probably doesnt play for Kentucky, maybe a local D1 and ends up a late draft pick or possibly not drafted and plays overseas. Just my thoughts
Bro I remember his jumper was pretty good back in HS and College. It was in the NBA when it looked funky
I must say as somebody who was a close friend to Gil it’s so crazy to watch these things yo lol it’s feeling hard to explain unless you really know Mike personally.. from there’s the side of seeing shoot the lights out of the ball on his way to UK to knowing the disorder he struggles with being under the lights..
Me personally I think his disorder played a bigggg role in his underachieving NBA career.. all & all tho he made it! And has himself and allll the people close to him in a position of success.. a job well done👌🏾
Could i ask what kind of disorder?

According to the lawsuit, Kidd-Gilchrist felt acute chest pain during practice and, as a result, had to quit playing basketball. He was officially diagnosed with myocarditis related to COVID-19, and is filing a $40 million lawsuit against Lloyd’s of London, an insurance company.
His Jumpshot Was So Ugly🤣
That jumpshot was broke as hell
He was a jumpshot away from being a Kawhi Leonard-esque player.
He's one of the most overlooked draft bust in recent history dude got picked over bradley beal that alone tells itself.Sometimes we gotta stop hiding behind these longevity talking points cuz we know it's guys who were dead nice that never got a real chance in the league or how draft status combined with incompetent front office ppl will have years of bad signings and draft selections and that's the case with mkg.He was really a 2nd round player but his high school and college reputation made ppl believe he was gonnabe scottie pippen for the 2010's and it never happened
MKG was a special talent, he fights to win, plays defense and hustles. He is the type of player every team that strives to win a championship needs in the lineup. He just couldn't shoot, that's it. If he had a consistent jumper he would be in the league still and a top 10 player in the league. 💯
my friend's cousin's brother went out with him. said he was pretty bad too, but didn't have an opinion about his ball skills
Went out with him? Like dating?
Tf type of comment is this
your video is so detailed :)
He was Jarred Vanderbilt or Jaden McDaniels. 3 and D without the 3 😂
I remember running this guy as a small ball PF next to Zeller on 2k14 and he was electric. Sad he never worked out in the NBA
Makes zeto sense to crap on a player who no longer competes in the league.
He would’ve been great with San Antonio, Golden State, Portland or any Lebron teams, but having to be the best player on the worst team in the league was never going to cut it!
He was the first Ben Simmons
Not even close
Just like Frank Kaminsky three years later, MKG was drafted too early (by the same franchise, go figure) and had expectations that he was never gonna be able to live up to. MKG was a great defender on the perimeter and interior and played bigger than he was. He could even be used as a small ball center. Unfortunately, he got an unfair bust label because he was drafted second.
Bro after seeing his jumpshot .... it's crazy someone drafted him that high
All Bobcat top pick were bust, except may be L.Ball
I never understood why this guy was always so highly rated.. since HS he was always considered a top 3 player and even got drafted 2nd overall. I don’t get it.
The Music 😢😢Anyone else feel like a dragon was gonna pop up any moment 😅😅
Why bro got this final boss battle music as the background tho ? 😂😂😂😭
They always talked about his motor rather than skill set when he was drafted. I was dumbfounded. Lots of players work hard. Never had any offensive skills. Could see this coming. Just not elite. Not a pro player.
him, fultz and simmons would be a great big 3 🔥
He helped uk win a ring so I'll always be a fan
“Born and raised in Philadelphia, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist grey up in New Jersey..”
We meant to say, "Born in Philadelphia and raised/grew-up in New Jersey."
Can you add the background music in the description? What was the song?
he wasnt just wasnt a scorer
1:11 gonna ask “What made him a Bust?” You see that form?!!! Yea, EXACTLY!!!!
$72 million 456 games over 8 years bad. His bad is far better than 95 % of college level and beyond hoopers.
JFC, the music's so loud in this one.
How can he be born and raised in Philly but grew up in Jersey? That’s a contradiction why do people keep tryna attach Jersey to us. Jersey NOT Philly it’s another state
He had the name of MJ (Michael), Jason Kidd (Kidd), Gilbert Arenas (Gil) and JESUS CHRIST (Christ) and still flopped😭😭😭💔
cornball
Internet is a silly place 😂😂😂😂😂
Has Skip ever been right about anything? They say a broken clock is right twice a day but all his takes seem to be garbage
I can’t believe bruh went number 2
Very dramatic background music 😮
If he wasnt injury prone and drafted to the trash bobcats he probably would of had a better career. Im sure after all the negatives missed games etc etc he just lost motivation.
He was on a team where he had ample opportunity to be that dude kemba didn't turn into a star til his 5th season mkg had opportunity dude wasn't good he just had staying power cuz of his draft position and mj being foolish that's the truth

His jumpshot was........... It was so bad
Draft bust . Most Memorable Moment : Ugly Jumpshot.
His jump shot was horrible
🤔 What! MKG wasn’t a bust what are you guys talking about, let’s not forget the Kid made millions about 60M if I’m not mistaken 🤷🏽♂️
He was basically lebron but not allowed to travel, stiff arm or flop
Thought they was go tell us why he shot the ball like that
Guy made millions playing 8 years in the NBA, won a national championship one year at UK, Gold medalist, 2nd pick in the draft, and won state championships as one of the top HS players in the world… yea he was trash lol. Guys kids and grandkids gunna think he was one of the GOAT’s with all his accomplishments.
Thru all the highlights he ain’t score n half court setting non
Skip hyping him tf up took me out 😂 the worst sports analyst in the world
can’t help injuries
To be fair, the majority of black kids lose their fathers before 3
I don’t know why I liked this player 😂
I used to talk to his wife destiny crazy cuz she played him at first now they married lol
Another good player who injuries ravished
he wasn’t even good before the injuries
@@walterreed5849 his defense was
Obviously the hornets get him
The bucks could use his defense...
Terrence jones was a better player
Players are better now offensively ? 😂😂😂😂
At number 2 in the draft man, he fell off
That shot is whack
