@@gmnboss Etan mentioned how he has spoke about this situation in an interview before and they edited the whole clip out. It's crazy when you really start to unravel this media narrative.
They had a personal vendetta...destroy this young man in the media, and refuse to give him the mentoring and development that he needed. The message was " Do not go straight into the NBA from HIGH School or you will be like Kwame Brown. Go to college so you can stay poor and make them BILLIONS".
Yup, dead on! NCAA is part of the filtering process too; who is gonna play nice for the machine and who is gonna be an ass pain? It sucks Kwame was shit on for YEARS and had little to no help because he was good enough and was his own man.
I feel very badly for all the times I laughed "WITH" people like Steven A Smith when they were making fun of Kwame. Kwame is the "REAL" winner in all of this. He was a victim of bullying, plan and simple.
I can see that but I’m in the camp that never liked Stephen a smith because he wasn’t funny, he was loud and never thought he nor skip was making any food points and took espn in a negative direction. Before the worst thing we could say about espn was east coast bias but now it’s the woke/leftist narrative and politicization of everything ever since about 2016 around the time kaepernick......
What sucks is that ppl like me, who aren’t the biggest basketball enthusiast (I’m way more into the NFL), wouldn’t take the time to research something about a player drafted around the time I was born who didn’t really do much in the NBA, other than be labeled as a bust like other players over the years. So I would’ve just thought Kwame had “small hands” “bad work ethic” etc
@@jamaalhorton2343 yes! I've been waiting 20 years to get the full story. Im glad Kwame is finally speaking for himself. No matter who people support in this, the bottomline for me is that sports media has been way too negative for way too long. Jalen Rose tried to tell them a decade ago.

I mean it's CRAZY how twisted the story is when you really don't know the story hmm
This just show you how resilient of a man Kwame is. Yes he didn't perform well and it affected him mentally when playing. All in all with all the bs that he faced in that situation. He didn't retaliate, he kept his head down, he didn't blame anybody, he didn't attack the person who was bullying him which if any young 18 years old could have taken violent response. Kept his composure and earn that money even though the media is grilling him day in and day out that probably affected his reputations for the future.

It's really nice to hear this, BEFORE THE DRAMA, so you can't call it suspect. And it's really cool to see someone speaking well of Kwame and defending him. I think Kwame probably has so much respect for MJ as an elder that he wouldn't want to even be perceived as being disrespectful or scapegoating.

The thing is, the likelihood of Stephen a smith NOT knowing what went down is low since him and Wilbon spent a lot of time schmoozing with Jordan and reporting what he told them and staying in his good graces Stephen a smith knew all along but created this narrative
Even Jerry Stackhouse came out and said The locker room was a mess. Etan Thomas gave us the Truth and Jordan deserved to get fired by the Wizards. All because his ego was too big to be a role player on a contender like Scottie did in Portland. He wanted to run a franchise and it showed the world his greedy and delusional side.
He was a good director of basketball operations and got rid of a lot of bad contracts and should not have been I don’t know if Abe pollin was acting in good faith when he was dangling an ownership stake in the wizards. Almost feels like he wanted him to step in and play to make a few dollars short term and that he wasn’t acting in good faith when he offered MJ ownership stake. Seems as if pollin) wasn’t being genuine when he said he wanted to win another championship before he dies also. Otherwise he could have traded kwame for Elton brand and the wizards would have been contenders all off of moves made by Jordan. Instead he was overruled and kwame brown is collateral damage between MJ and management. Apparently Doug Collins was always using him (kwame) as a scapegoat
But everyone is forgetting KWAME SUCKED!!!!! Did he deserve to be ridiculed, no, but let’s not act like this was Hakeem Olajuwon getting screwed over. This was the kid who wasn’t that good who got his confidence shock by Alfa males, who weren’t teenagers. It’s rough out there, and Kwames basketball skills did not improve, at all, for whatever reason.
@@johnobrien1759 Kwame dominated scrimmages against his draft class so the pick seemed justified. Kwame's stats are better than Shaun Livingston's but nobody calls him a bust. A number 4 overall pick that never averaged 10 or more points. Golden state saved his career and the same could have happened for Kwame had he gone to a good team. He really wasn't a bad player 💯 Injuries, bad coaches and a lack of veteran leadership ruined him. it's the truth. Look at Shaun Livingston's stats. Without Golden state people would say he was a huge bust. Kwame's stats are better than his 💯 the team you play for and coaching can change the perception of a career.
They wanted to destroy Kwame because he was masculine. He wouldn't let them immortalize his mom and demonize his dad. I'm surprised dude didn't snap before now. Much respect to Kwame from Greenville SC.
@@draftking77312 Nah, get out your feelings. You want to be a slave to a bunch of Democrat operatives and Ten Percenters? Be our guest. You're black; I understand.
The most sad part about this is that KBrown grew up without a dad who is the one who gives the child affirmation so when he got to the league as a kid, the rejection of father-like figures continued and sadly it resulted in him not having confidence in his game, being overly nervous in games, and ultimately it produced WRATH which is what we are see now. The Bible says FATHERS do not provoke your children to wrath. Didn’t say mother’s because they’re nurturers so the child is going to forgive them but the man has to prove his love to the child. Now we are seeing 20yrs of built up anger, resentment, and unforgiveness.

I swear I said this 2 weeks ago saying that's what I thought happened I I'm glad it's been clarified. Nbs I said he was the scapegoat but it's so close to what I said
The first 20 games of MJ's 2nd season with the Wizards showed us all what Kwame could have been. Washington was on top of the east, MJ was regaining his scoring touch, the defense was coming along nicely, and Kwame Brown was playing extremely well, stringing together some very efficient double-double games. Then Jordan's knee started to flare up, the Wizards lost a couple of games, Doug Collins panicked and started pulling Kwame early and benching him often. That torpedoed Kwame's confidence and development, and basically shut down his chances of being the Wizard's franchise player.
Just a theory but maybe MJ told Doug to treat Kwame like shit and if that wasnt enough MJ told SAS to treat Kwame like shit. Kwame rose above the hate and had a long productive career in nba.
He was. Because they wanted big stars to go to college because the NCAA wasn’t generating revenue in basketball anymore. So as he got scapegoated they were making them go to school but then Lebron comes and they said you know what not him. Now they want to end the one and done option because the NCAA is losing the stars too fast. Again hurting revenue.
@@malcolmboy21 agreed. Players are also getting smarter at circumventing that stupid one and done rule. Look at Lamelo Ball who played 1 year in the Australian league and still ended up as the third pick. You have other top high schoolers going straight to the G-league.
That would be a good movie. That people would view. Coming fresh outta HIGHSCHOOL Dominating. What make it so significant. Is how it's not just the Physical; it's the mental ,, concerning the Team? Is it just me?
I have nothing but respect for kwame Brown because he did 13 years in the NBA made 63.4 million and I didn't so with that all the respect in the world to King Kwame Brown #StopVerbalGenocide
Doug Collins kissed up to MJ as the Bulls and Wizards Coach, which was why he was fired in Chicago and replaced by his assistant coach, Phil Jackson. Phil had to come in and tell MJ to hand the ball over to allow Pippen to be the primary playmaker, and also trust his teammates, which was why the Bulls became champs.
I think it's more so Jordan wanted to prove Abe that Abe made the wrong decision at not trading Kwame for Elton Brand on draft night. People like Jordan have big egos and want to be right at all costs
I Really Believe that they treated Him Horrible. Doug was protesting MJ!!! They treated him horrible. Where is Doug Collins?? Why can’t we get some answers from him?
any other number 1 pick who turns out to be a bust they fuckin torture them so why should he get different treatment...I don’t hear yall suckin up to Anthony Bennett or JaMarcus Russell they were bust too hell prolly even bigger bust than Kwame Brown
Now the arenas story makes sense about how the owner of the wizards rewarded him with the max contract after injuries for getting the team past the stink of the Jordan era
If Thomas never went knee to knee with MJ and causing his injury, this whole comeback story would be different. The Wizards would of made the playoffs.

That would be a good movie. That people would view. Coming fresh outta HIGHSCHOOL Dominating. What make it so significant. Is how it's not just the Physical; it's the mental ,, concerning the Team? Is it just me?
Wow
Kwame always looked afraid .. never seemed to have a look of determination or competence on him idk 🤷🏽♂️ he was a mediocre player
This aged beautifully
I have nothing but respect for kwame Brown because he did 13 years in the NBA made 63.4 million and I didn't so with that all the respect in the world to King Kwame Brown #StopVerbalGenocide
It's f*cked up how they treated him!
Doug Collins kissed up to MJ as the Bulls and Wizards Coach, which was why he was fired in Chicago and replaced by his assistant coach, Phil Jackson.
Phil had to come in and tell MJ to hand the ball over to allow Pippen to be the primary playmaker, and also trust his teammates, which was why the Bulls became champs.
I keep the 36 on me Etan Thomas - Starlito
Man up if you can't take the heat don't play
SEATTLE ROCKING WITH KWAME 💯🤘🏾
Jordan was jealous of Kwame so he destroyed his confidence. He was so scared of losing attention to Kwame that he actually suited up.
Lol jealous? Stop it dumbass
not really jealous its more on he wants kwame to be tough which is not applicable to everyone maybe some can overcome but most of people can't take it
I think it's more so Jordan wanted to prove Abe that Abe made the wrong decision at not trading Kwame for Elton Brand on draft night. People like Jordan have big egos and want to be right at all costs
@@TheTakeBackBRCNOvate yeah, you would.
@@TheTakeBackBRCNOvate You sound stupid as fuck
Kwame is the G.O.A.T
This aged well.
There was no texting back then
I watched this video and then thought about how many dominant bigs MJ played with and I genuinely can’t think of one. There may be some truth to this.
The media man...
Hmmmm kinda makes me wonder if In another 20 years or so Anthony Bennett will somehow get his redemption story by some miracle too!!! Hahah lolzzz
I already knew this.... Kwame ain come out school and be the first pick because he was sorry.... them folks crushed that kids confidence.
Yawn
Dam...I never knew smh🔴
I Really Believe that they treated Him Horrible. Doug was protesting MJ!!! They treated him horrible. Where is Doug Collins?? Why can’t we get some answers from him?
Yawn
Damn they did our dear brotha kwame ruthless. .
If you played organized sports coaches does this to players even in youth ages
At the end of the day, Kwame didn't have a fair hand in his own situation
any other number 1 pick who turns out to be a bust they fuckin torture them so why should he get different treatment...I don’t hear yall suckin up to Anthony Bennett or JaMarcus Russell they were bust too hell prolly even bigger bust than Kwame Brown
It was like a narcissistic family.
Collins was the enabler to MJ who was the golden child/narcissist & Kwame was the scapegoat.
Easy analysis.
Yawn with your excuses for Kwame
Doug Collins owes him an apology for staying quiet all these years.
Nope
@@nonamewillbegiven6136 😆
Now the arenas story makes sense about how the owner of the wizards rewarded him with the max contract after injuries for getting the team past the stink of the Jordan era
King Kwame
Why all this years later?
If Thomas never went knee to knee with MJ and causing his injury, this whole comeback story would be different. The Wizards would of made the playoffs.
