- These five NBA players all looked like bonafide stars at one point in their careers, but for a variety of reasons they either never reached their full potential or fell off hard shortly after.

Kenneth faried walked so Montrezl harrell could run
Isaiah Thomas didn't just show star potential, he was one. He should definitely not be on this list
Erased He was a star in Boston then he fell and has not put up the same numbers since then so he deserves to be on this list
John Wall is about to be on this list after missing 3 ish seasons, now.
Blackman Whitesuit but he was a star for 5 seasons
Bromax 800 that happened because he got injuried
@@bromax800 he's was the best player in a really good team. Went deep in the playoffs with great games along the way. He was a player in his prime who had already shown the flashes and now was delivering on his potential. 2nd team All-NBA in 2017. He was essentially seen as an equal to Kyrie and that was a year after his 2016 playoffs performance where his stock was at an all time high. Even after his injury people were saying the Cavs won the trade and directly comparing the two to one another. He just got a really bad injury
Kenneth faried now is a poor mans montrezl Harrell😭
Where at ?
Chinese Basketball Association
Before I start this video, Michael Beasley better be on this video
Had One of the best collage seasons I've Ever seen
@ hailie sekula he also averaged over 20 points a game in his third season.
HE JUST WASTED HIS TIME ON MIAMI WHO PLAY ON A DEFESIVE MINDSET FIRST
When I saw the video I said Michael Carter-Williams has to be in this
He was way too inconsistent, was never gonna be a star
Faried has been playing pretty well off the bench for the Clippers
Lmfaoooooooo
If I were a coach I’d rather not play him
That’s Montrezl Harrell
Max Crosby that’s the joke🤦🏿♂️
Faried has been playing well in China. 😅😅😅
Moral of the story: Wrong Era.
You have to be able to adapt, when playing basketball is your job.
This wasn't the case for anyone of these players though, just for Faried
Jahlil Okafor
Not really more so just faired. Tyreke failed more so because the kings development sucked(went from pg to sg to sf). Dion literally just folded. everyone else injuries there game is suited for today
Brandon Jennings?
Tyreke is a point guard the kings switched him to small forward thats why he regressed
No MCW?
Bro I'm a Cavs fan so I was thinking that Dion was gonna be a star
Vade Mgaming he was good for the cavs in his rookie year that’s it
I’ll never forget when my dad said he’ll be better than Kyrie! We’ll never let him live that down 🤣. He was looking like a star though
Vade Mgaming oof
@@Ckproduction03 I'm in that camp with your pops. I knew Kyrie could get buckets but I thought Waiter's was that necessary playmaker
dion please get off the weed we loved u mate
Ashwin Bhat nah if guy wants to spark that blueberry Og you gotta let him
Dion need to be on that bag so he get in his bag
What’s crazy is last season for fairied wasn’t even that bad with the rockets
Jabari Parker tore his acl twice tho so I mean it makes sense
I would add Carter-Williams and O.J. Mayo too!
Never noticed how weird tyreke's release was. He holds it all the way back
I am a heat fan dion waiters was not bad at all he extremely clutch and can actually make his threes
Nagham Makled ya no one seems to remember him playing pretty well for the heat. I think he was injured that series when they played the 76ers too.
Kenneth Fharid was never given a chance. Mike Malone didn't like him for some reason so he cut his minutes little by little until he wasn't in the rotation. Brooklyn barely played him, then he played well in Houston but for some reason they didnt resign him. Definitely deserves to be in the NBA
I laughed so hard when I heard waiters had edibles on the team plane. That’s funny as fuck
Feel good stories never end well.
Bruh i have to changed my profile, that boy Dion is not even on the Heat anymore
Dion Waiters then do it pussy
Goran Dragic lmao the facts that you picked Goran Dragic is hilarious
Kenneth Faried (AKA Moses Cuh Jr) was definitely one of my favorite players because of his hustle and athleticism. Was hard to see him regress the way he did...
OJ Mayo
I went back to playing 2k14 just to look back at how hard it was to guard Dion Waiters on the 3rd and 4th season of MyCareer. I really thought he'd be a bonafide star by now.
Isaiah was an All Star player for two seasons. He was an All NBA player for a season, and 4th in the MVP voting. Like Rose, he got injured in the best moment of his career. He didn’t fell off before reaching his potential like everyone else
Only if Kings were smart enough to keep going with what was going well for them. They tried to change Tyrekes playstyle by changing his position mess up everything
Faried reminds me of Montrezl Harrell
Michael Carter WilliAms
He was never actually good
Will Slags wrong next wasn’t rookie of the year for no reason. You fell off but you a fucking moron if you think he was never good
Putting IT in this list is straight disrespect
I figured Michael Carter-Williams was a lock for this video, maybe in a part 2?
You forgot about MCW :3
And Jahlil Okafor
Is mcw still playing with the magic
I still believe in Faried, he more than deserves a place in the league imo
The kings fucked up they change Tyreek from pg to sf
Top second rounder from every draft this decade
I think what truly happens with Faried is Milsap was signed and he has to play as a second unit which he didn’t like. He let the media knows it. After that comment in the media he did, he never had a significant minutes.
Kenneth should still be on a NBA roster today
Isaiah Thomas costed himself a lot of money being too loyal to the celtics. Probably one of the saddest stories in NBA history
I'm a celtics fan but I agree wholeheartedly. We did that boy wrong. He gave us his heart and we destroyed his career.
If Jabari is here, Wiggins should be too tbh, also Jeremy Lin?
Faried should still be in league camp ups be good piece for contender
With the injuries, Jabari Parker can still play his butt off. I wish he wouldn't have publically boycotted defense
Be honest, who went immediately to the comments fo the clout?
After leaving the OKC Thunder Dion Waiters signed with the Miami Heat on a 11-year PROVE YOURSELF CONTRACT. 🤣🤣🤣
After that season the Miami Heat rewarded Dion Waiters with a 4-year 52 million dollar contract.
You earn a contract from Pat Riley, no Free Passes.
1-year contract with the Miami Heat, TYPO.
@@deandrepage1048 😂oof
Faried never had a chance the league changed play style
1. Faired played well on Houston
Dion is bout to have a revival in LA tho
Nope
I was soo mad when they change Evans position
I am super glad the Lakers picked up Dion Waiters. 🤣🤣🤣
Over 63 games the Lakers Bench Unit scoring was TRASH.
Everybody INCONSISTENT 3-point shooters.
Dion Waiters can get INTO THE PAINT because of his ability to create his own Offense off-the-dribble.
He plays with a certain flare for sure. He’s got confidence to keep shooting all kinds of shots.
@@alijamili6522 Lakers Bench Scoring is pathetic TRASH, so Dion Waiters ability to create his own offense WITHOUT LEBRON needing to spoon-feed him easy buckets is an UPGRADE.
Highly confident shooting guard behaviour fits perfect for this Bench Unit OFF CONFIDENCE ALONE. 😀😀😀
Rondo looks at those busters and basically tries to score himself = lack of confidence in his bench shooters.
Dion will bounce back watch. He doesn't give up!
I heard that tyreke Evans fell off on the kings because they changed his position
The-Boy- David injuries and change of position
I'm guessing Okafor is on this list?
Isaiah Thomas sister died that year also bro show some respect to the whole truth and the fact that he played with both of those factors lumping over him till this day
This nigga faried has a gold medal
What about Brandon Knight
Bismack Biyombo
I dont think ive ever seen a game copy ark... but teafight tactics or whatever... hanna really?
Jahlil Okafor?
It is not all injuries with Jabari Parker. He was gift wrapped an opportunity to prove himself on the Bulls and what does he do? Says defense doesn’t matter and was out of shape from training camp into December. Markkanen was out so he could even play his preferred position and he was awful. When he’s healthy and in shape he’s a decent bench player but nothing more.
Dion waiters was good in Miami
💩💩💩🗑🗑🗑
Goat
I believe Isaiah should of been given another chance, like a bigger role, he would of risen!
im a boston celtics fan, i hated it when they got kyrie. i like to watch kyrie but i know damn well he has the melo effect ball stopper. his ideal of point guard is just a 2 man pick and roll game with al horford or just get a mismatch after a screen then over dribble into a fancy tough finish and had all other 4 guys watch him.
i miss IT4. both is kinda sad seeing him slowed down so much after that hip injury. guess he didn't have the movitvation to work out after getting traded from a franchise he loved.
@@WestbrickFansGotNoBrains He lost quickness and when your that small that's all you have. it sucks but the Celtics made the right trade also the cavs medical team is booty.
Yo why is IT here
where is jeff green ? that dude always show potential but is too damn passive in game.
i still like jeff green poster and insane dunks with either hands.
Um brandon Roy?
Tim Hardaway Jr
i watch kenneth in the fiba and thought he was a star....damn he fell off hard!
Isiah was def injuries.. c'mon now
definitely MCW
Brandon jennings?
Just curious, why was Evans ban for 2 years for breaking drug policy but waiters wasn't for the edibles. Is there a definitive line on what they consider an illegal substance? I don't get it.
I think evans uses a drug
But waiters just using idk weed?? Edible weed?
@@ivanbautista5530 marijuana is on the NBA banned substance list. Check your facts. Also marijuana is a drug. If it were legal that doesn't make it not a drug. Also a drug is a drug regardless of form it is consumed, edibles, smoke, injections doesn't matter. Alcohol is a drug if you didn't know. Your comment was wrong on so many levels lol
@@R.B.90 bruh fucking chill im just guessing stop being arrogant use your brain for sarcasm
R. B. It's been known for a long time that the NBA doesn't really care about weed nor do they really punish players for it like that. Matt Barnes and Stack said it themselves they were smokin hella dope during the season and Al Harrington smoked weed the day before a drug test and they passed him. The NBA only cares about PEDs and other hard drugs like Cocaine, etc. The NBA will never punish one of its top star players in the likes of a Lebron, KD, AD, Kawhi, etc. for using drugs. It'd destroy their brands and is just terrible for the leagues growth.
@@ivanbautista5530 nah I'll pass on your sarcasm. You're spreading misinformation...
Waiters is lookin at Kyrie like,
"You weird goofy azz boy!"
MCW
Dion Waiters
Tell me how Montrezl Harrell is good in the league and Kenneth faried is not
Dan Mohr Sports because the big difference with those two is defense/rim protection. Faried was never a bad defender but just a average rim protector, meanwhile Trez is better at defending the paint and rebounding now, and Trez is entering his prime and is at the peak of his athleticism. Faried is 30 years old, so he’s not young and has lost the athleticism he once had before.
Dan Mohr Sports but I still believe Faried can be good in the league, he’s not bad at defense at all, just a bit of an underwhelming post defender but still not bad at all and he can still hustle and play well. He deserves to be on a team
IT shouldn't be on this list
For the love of god please change the background music it’s so irritating
You forgot Jeff Teague, Kyle Korver, and Al Horford
aj benohlan there all all stars buddy
@@Jb3.99 yo..they are all studs now
@@ajbenohlan5718 Studs is a good thing I think you means duds now. But they are all old thats why. Korver is like 40 and Horford is still productive. It's hard to say that they underperformed
@@DANtheMANofSIPA Horford and Kyle can still ball but they are under the radar but for Jeff Teague..eehhh.. Idk maybe his time of being an all star is gone
Derrick Williams?
He was a bust
Tyreke thrive as a point guard. But he's a turnover machine and terrible off the ball
Iman Shumpert
thomas will be in china soon.
Good thing Waiters has another chance with the LA Lakers
First
I think Derrick rose was a guy who fell off
RunMyFade Sensei he still is a very solid player bro what are you talking about
Elijah Richardson I know that but he is not like his MVP self. He is a solid 15 PPG but he’s not averaging 23 PPG and 8 Assists like he used to
RunMyFade Sensei hes averaging 18 and 5 and last year he was averaging around 19-20 and 4-5
Oh shit I didn’t know that. 😂😂
@J D to be honest drose has stopped using his signature insane hop step already so i think he can handle more minutes now, just really he need more range if he wants to improve which he still is very stiff on his jumpshot.
and fell off and affected by injury shouldn't be the same talk.
those full speed, changing direction hop steps are killer to his knees.
