So was Morey. I’m not trying to be too political but it is funny how players and the league will support things like the BLM movement (makes sense, most players are black and it’s happening in the United States) but say nothing about China because it will affect the league’s bottom line. The league is basically sending the message that you can be politically active, but don’t be “too” (wink wink) politically active.
Craig Hodges was blackballed after he won a 3rd 3 point contest, came back and competed without a team, he was outspoken in a wrong time. He would have been an off court leader these days.
I remember the Leonard incident. I was watching the stream to support since I was in the FaZe comp and FaZe clan was hyping him up. That day I was watching and the moment that word left his mouth I just knew it was over. Even FaZe Clan cut ties with him
@ yeah I agree he definitely knew it was a slur and how he said it and quick it left his mouth during that stream gave off the vibe that he’s definitely said it many times. I can’t lie, I so disappointed because I enjoyed watching his streams
Interesting fact about meyers Leonard: he actually had a 50/40/90 season with the blazers in his second to last year with them. He only made the qualified number of total shot attempts by a few and going into his last game he needed to go 1/2 from three and to do it and he did.
That is an excellent point bro. dudes can beat on a woman and the nba does nothing but say one racial slur (which I definitely don't agree with) and your gone for good. They should keep the same energy and ban both but clearly one affects the pockets and the other doesn't

Idc what anyone say about Dion but he's one of the reason i'm a Heat fan after post-superteam era we are supposed to be a lottery team but i think Heat Culture start right there especially that 2016-17 i will never forget that 11-30 start then Dion Waiters having that Jimmy-like switch and play like a superstar and having a win-loss like 21-5 as number 1 option and avg like 20-5-5 while shooting clutch shot every game then he got injured but the Heat end up with 41-41 record and not making the playoffs but one of core memory as Heat fan💯
I was thinking the same thing. What a genius way to prove you're not a communist regime by doing communist shit and outlawing games a player that hurt your feelings plays on 😂😂
The only thing Boogie had going for himself, was his productivity. Once his productivity got cut in half, organizations are left with an immature/bad attitude player…. who they can’t count on to be a (positive) influential veteran in the locker room
That’s what I thought too. Him playing for the Nuggets and being pretty good wasn’t mentioned at all, which is pretty annoying. As far as I can remember they didn’t resign him for their championship season because of knee issues.
Boogie didnt blackball himself. He brought grit to the game while dominating. I’d be pissed too dropping 25 and 12 year after year for a 8 ppg Deandre Jordan to keep getting voted all star .
Yeah I would have loved to see Boogie be that big bad wolf he had the potential to be but he could not get out of his own way. Great talent. Not a team sport guy
Possibly true to some. But he should have included a lot of disclaimers when sharing his opinions: disclaimers stating that this only represents his personal views and has nothing to do w the NBA.
Chris Jackson w/ shaq & Stanley Roberts ( shaq even said SR was kore talented than himself) has to be the best 3 on a colege team to not make final 4 Edit - im sure their might he better big3 on a ncaa team , i just can't think of any -duke?( Lattner, hurley, Ghill- yes they made final4 , but thats a quality big3) - unlv ( larry J, augman, anthony ?) that LSU team reminds me of that ok st fball team w/ Thurman thomas starting rb & barry Sanders as a backup or the Mississippi st team w/ aj brown & Metcalf as wrs - those are tandems , but w/ both of those teams w/ those 2 elite players didnt come close to winning anything, ikno ikno ikno winning @ fball much different than bball w/ ha ing 2 great players ( in LSU case its 3 )
Ngl i completely agree with Kanter, yes he was God awful on defense but the nba definitely sold him and Morey out. Teams just said he wasnt worth it to lost all that China money
It's tourettes. He was diagnosed and medicated. If you can, find video of him playing during Ramadan. He went all out with fasting and would not take his medication during Ramadan. He could be seen on the bench at times clearly unable to control the ticks, twitching and his facial muscles.
38:34 "His career was in Jeopardy" Cousins could have set himself and his family up with at least a small fortune incase basketball AFTER the Pelicans turned into what it did. Even AFTER the injury the Pelicans offered him a 2 year 40 million dollar deal and he turned it down. Instead like you said he signed a 1 year 5 million dollar deal with the warriors I guess betting on himself to land a big contract after that year. That was just a mistake. His reputation already has prevented any team from wanting to do that so him thinking that could happen made no sense. Dude could have been 35 million dollars richer had he just taken the Pelicans offer. Just a dumb decision especially considering he could have used those 2 years to really showcase that he's still a top dawg in the league since obviously he would have been used as a focal point along side AD instead of just being an after thought on a stacked Warriors team. Bro really thought he was gonna get a max deal from someone. Oh well.
Superb writing and presentation. Appreciate your professional approach to the subject and the nuances of the situations that all of these men either created or faced.
Watching Anthony Edwards now is watching Isiah Rider in his prime!!! The only difference is that Edwards takes his physical training more serious, but their game is identical.
Royce White’s shooting was Enes Freedom’s lack of defense. Controversial players would could be productive but had something that also didn’t help their case. Their styles of play also aged out for where the league was going. So with Royce white, his phobia for flying didn’t end up being worth what he could contribute to the team.
Cousins was a beast with great technic. His performance-wise dominance and also his predatory attitude was something to watch. Btw, somehow, kings has some great battles each time they met prime GSW.
The warriors acting like DEMARCUS COUSINS is a problem when they've been paying and supporting Draymond Green all this time is LAUGHABLE what a disgusting organization that literally ruined the sport
Guaranteed money is killing the NBA. They really need to do away with it. It's human nature to just quit once tour financially (generationally) set. Not everyone has an MJ or Kobe mindset.
Non guaranteed money will have a player who risks career ending injuries just to be broke it’s actually criminal. Thats why I genuinely never watch football.
I think the term mental health was used for the rockets advantage. I never heard John Maddens fear of flying referred as mental health issue. They just bought him a bus. And payed him about 15 million a year.

That China Situation was crazy ,the Dems and Republicans attacked and agreed on something together. I was shocked and a little scared for the nba cause you don't see that shit every day 😅
He cheated to the Spurs in the playoffs. Last play of the game as he was passing it in he REACHED OVER THE LINE FROM OUT OF BOUNCE to shove Manu to make space to pass.. The Spurs were in such shock that a whistle wasn't blown i blew the whole play into chaos, and Spurs lost.
Enes Kanter for sure talk shit about LeBron and that’s what got him out the league He was playing decent minutes on a team and then he talked shit about LeBron and Nike and he got kicked out of the league.
Crazy how off-court issues derailed such talented careers. Dion Waiters and Boogie Cousins had all the talent, but it shows attitude matters. Which story shocked you the most?
Imo basketball is the best sport by far, but the league that represents it gotta be the most hypocritical sport out of them all bru😭. They support all this social issues and wtv tf but let a player speak abt China in any negative way and they’ll doing the most cringy press conference ever. I’ll never forget Harden saying he loves China for no fucking reason.
No symapthy for Waiters. He screwed up and realizing it in retrospect makes him look worse in many ways considering how many chances he got in his ball playing career.
Waiters made 67 million thru his b.s. BB stint!! And at 32 he has or should have been good financially, So what's his problem,he should have enough money for him and a few generations if he uses it right!! People are silly AF
In what world were brooks and Trier blackballed. Brooks was never good and left the league and then came back w Grizz w a multi year contract. Trier wasn’t drafted yet still got run w the Knicks. And has bounced around the g league. Thats not being blackballed.
The fact you know his name but continued to call him Chris numerous times shows your lack of respect for ppl and their beliefs. I'm not even Muslim and I found this highly disrespectful.
Dion's nickname was "kobewade".. and it was more tongue in cheek, than something that anyone (including waiters) took seriously.. dions out of the league due to injuries.. piece of bone from his hip was used in his ankle surgery. We forget, he was on the Lakers for the bubble run (nickname then was philly cheese).. his game was different due to the injury.. zero explosiveness and couldn't really get by defenders. Wasnt the same.. that's why he s not on a roster.. if you're truly good, you get picked up.
I think Boogie is out because of a domestic violence issue. He was great for the Nuggets as their back up centre, and he seemed to not be causing problems there. But they just didn't bring him back.
What happened to Enes Kantor is total bs. He was actually kaepernick. Kaep played like total ass and opted out of his contract and nobody thought he was worth trouble. Enescwas actually still a very good roll player he got double doubles on a regular basis abs he spoke out on the people who really own the NBA.
They gave them a ban because of that coach's comments, and they're just getting ready to go back and play after 5 years or whatever. You don't talk bad about the CCP. Bet yeah "not proven", lmao.

He cheated to the Spurs in the playoffs. Last play of the game as he was passing it in he REACHED OVER THE LINE FROM OUT OF BOUNCE to shove Manu to make space to pass.. The Spurs were in such shock that a whistle wasn't blown i blew the whole play into chaos, and Spurs lost.
Enes Kanter for sure talk shit about LeBron and that’s what got him out the league He was playing decent minutes on a team and then he talked shit about LeBron and Nike and he got kicked out of the league.
Kanter isn’t wrong…
Miles Leonard should be playing. Netanyahu's supporter & Epstein Client Adam Silver should understand his leverage is not so powerful any longer.
And yet now the current NBA is all for not standing for the national anthem
Things change.
@@actionjackson4982 Stop lying MAGA they all stand for tha racist anthem
@@hoodywalker7173 not a lie. things change. things change all of the time.
Cause maybe the anthem is ya know racist 😂
Nationalist songs, slogans, and salutes have a very sketchy history
Crazy how off-court issues derailed such talented careers. Dion Waiters and Boogie Cousins had all the talent, but it shows attitude matters. Which story shocked you the most?
Cousin's knees couldn't stay healthy , DW had an attitude problem - big difference
Mark Jackson: I started this Splashing shit... And this the MFin thanks I get?
Imo basketball is the best sport by far, but the league that represents it gotta be the most hypocritical sport out of them all bru😭. They support all this social issues and wtv tf but let a player speak abt China in any negative way and they’ll doing the most cringy press conference ever. I’ll never forget Harden saying he loves China for no fucking reason.
The cancel culture bs,ruin that dude smh
What did 4 “illegal cellphones” look like in the late 90s?
No symapthy for Waiters. He screwed up and realizing it in retrospect makes him look worse in many ways considering how many chances he got in his ball playing career.
Not worse lmao at least he grew up. Lots of ppl never actually grow up and mature.
There’s no way to look worse from acknowledging your own failures.
What are you even saying?
@@blaynomax yeah that was one of the dumbest things i have ever read
Cousins is the rudest UK player and NBA player and possibly the rudest I have ever met.
Waiters made 67 million thru his b.s. BB stint!! And at 32 he has or should have been good financially, So what's his problem,he should have enough money for him and a few generations if he uses it right!! People are silly AF
Mark Jackson needs a whole hour episode at least...
Dude earned 67M from his NBA career so I wouldn’t worry too much about his financial situation
Meyers Leonard is based for saying that he did nothing wrong neither did Kyrie. It is the tiny hats not cancel culture.
Want about Shareff Abdul-Raheem since we talking about M. Abul-Rauf
1:30 who have thought
THE FACT THAT YOU ARE EVEN MENTIONING HIS POLITICAL VIEWS LET ME KNOW THAT HE WAS BLACKBALLED BECAUSE OF HIS POLITICAL VIEWS
I went to school dion waiters and his brother dymere waiters
yes, guns can be forgiven, lasers by posse can be forgiven but a real apology cannot
Being good isn't good enough
Royce White´s biggest problem was that he couldn´t package his message in an comedic way like Bill Burr for example.
He considers himself a brilliant intellectual 😂
Bruh never seen someone get blackballed like Josh Primo, incomplete list
Tyreke Evans, OJ Mayo are the main ones for me.
Marshon Brooks, Allonzo Trier are some less notable ones.
In what world were brooks and Trier blackballed.
Brooks was never good and left the league and then came back w Grizz w a multi year contract.
Trier wasn’t drafted yet still got run w the Knicks. And has bounced around the g league. Thats not being blackballed.
@ ok
I like Dion Waiters. He had a stroke & he got a ring.
The fact you know his name but continued to call him Chris numerous times shows your lack of respect for ppl and their beliefs. I'm not even Muslim and I found this highly disrespectful.
pelicans offered boogie a 2 year extension but he declined it and signed with the warriors
Dion's nickname was "kobewade".. and it was more tongue in cheek, than something that anyone (including waiters) took seriously.. dions out of the league due to injuries.. piece of bone from his hip was used in his ankle surgery. We forget, he was on the Lakers for the bubble run (nickname then was philly cheese).. his game was different due to the injury.. zero explosiveness and couldn't really get by defenders. Wasnt the same.. that's why he s not on a roster.. if you're truly good, you get picked up.
Love your videos
To quote UTree, "The Chinese Overloads did not like that."
I’m surprised waiters atleast admits it’s his fault and hasn’t told himself a lie
You forgot to mention that the lakers also took a chance on boogie
I think Boogie is out because of a domestic violence issue. He was great for the Nuggets as their back up centre, and he seemed to not be causing problems there. But they just didn't bring him back.
I miss this guy why isn’t he on 2k 🤦🏽♂️
Can someone explain how to Dion was coming off the bench in college but became a top pick?
What happened to Enes Kantor is total bs. He was actually kaepernick. Kaep played like total ass and opted out of his contract and nobody thought he was worth trouble. Enescwas actually still a very good roll player he got double doubles on a regular basis abs he spoke out on the people who really own the NBA.
They gave them a ban because of that coach's comments, and they're just getting ready to go back and play after 5 years or whatever. You don't talk bad about the CCP. Bet yeah "not proven", lmao.
Why does isaiah rider and kanye west look eerily identical
