      Cliff Alexander was the #2 prospect in the 2014 high school class. 9-10 months later he left Kansas and declared for the NBA draft, went undrafted. Many simply don't make it.

Lenny was supposed to be better than Bron and barely competed in that game. But after that game it was clear he wasn't dedicated and didn't have the right people around him.

That league had a lot of well known college players and overseas pros and Lenny was treating them like toddlers. He was averaging damn near 30 effortlessly. I believe the reason he didn't get a call back was because of something that happened with the Boston coaching staff. I think stern blackballed him after that especially since Boston still took a chance on him despite his past.

    The Lenny Cooke being ranked over Lebron is overblown. For one Lenny Cooke was in the 2002 class and Lebron was in the 2003 so they didn't come out the same year. Lenny however was ranked higher than Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudimere. He became the number one player in his class when he was the MVP of the legendary ABCD camp back in 2000. The following year at the camp that's when he matchup with Lebron and Lebron got the best of him. Lenny was definitely talented enough to play in the NBA but he made some decision that end up hurting him.

      An 18 year old kid with bad people around him. Same thing kind of happened to Maurice Clarett but later. Maurice thought he should be receiving the same treatment as lebron.

    • @derald614
      @derald614 8 месяцев назад +1

      He was that dude it definitely wasn't hype. He was playing against top talent in New york. But scouts knew what he was doing off the court. He was already 19 cuz he failed a grade. The wrong people got to him early. He was taking money and shit too. He was doing the most.

    alotta top ranked players are just tall guys who can dunk if you a 6’5 guard in high school you probably are bigger than everyone you play and when you get to the nba u gotta actually have a jumper to last

    • @derald614
      @derald614 8 месяцев назад

      Depends on where u play. Lenny coming out of New York was that dude and played against top talent. I think coming out the big city also hurt him because of the people who had access to him early.

    I don’t want to say this is specific to Lenny but there are a handful of jobs for superstar players. The rest everyone finds a role, and sometimes it’s doing things you don’t necessarily want to do but that’s how you stay in the league. Not everyone gets to be Kobe or Lebron for a team.

    Very candid opinion about Lebron and Lenny. And 20 years after, whatever hype there was about Lebron back in his senior year in highschool has been validated and proven many times over. Yep, Lebron is a "living, walking steroid".
