- Adam Morrison was the best ammeter prospect at one point. He was compared to the legend himself Larry Bird, but didn't have the same success. Many people think he failed as a basketball player. Did he? How? He had size, natural scoring ability, opportunity, yet it didn't help him when he got to the NBA. It shows how different levels of basketball are. You can have a college program tailored to fit your game, but find on another level, with stars already in place, your preparation didn't translate.

Is he a bigger bust than Anthony Bennett? Either way, still made the NBA and had some great experiences. www.patreon.com/stuntedgrowth
I'd say so because there was more hype behind him and people who generally wanted to see Morrison succeed. Bennett was just a bad pick in a poor draft class.
@@baldridgeroy Facts. He was so hyped leaving college. Everyone swore he was the next Bird. He looked the part too. Dude used to hit crazy shots
I was gonna say the exact same thing you and Pancho Baldridge just said. The expectations were higher for him while Bennett was a weak pick in an even weaker draft.
A friend of mine who worked security for Charlotte said that Adam had terrible hygiene and didn't fit in with the team because he stunk so bad. Everyone made fun of him behind the scenes.
@@jaydav6521 Damn
Call him a NBA bust but he still had a legendary college career & no one can take that from him..
Just like every other BUST…
@@KelGone_fish89 has done more in his life than you could do in 10 lifetimes, remember that
If things worked out just a little better, he could have at least played 10 plus seasons in the association, maybe as a 3 point specialist like Kyle Korver. Too bad too, I think his success would have been good for more regular people who look at playing the game for the love of it and playing right, etc.
The ACL and draft team he went to were the biggest stunts but I’d argue his diabetes were just as impactful. He really struggled adjusting to the nba schedule and the rigours of it. In college it was easier for him to maintain it as they didn’t play as many games. Still one of the greatest college players to lace them up over the past 20 years.
This was the major reason, the hectic schedule would play around with his energy levels leaving him feel flat. You see most players suffer a burn out in their first few years and the second year blues. That's gonna be amplified with diabetes, plus he dealing with mature bodies and more athletic players. The ACL was just the nail in the coffin. Still could've had a role like a Novak or even a Dunleavy jr.
His diabetes is what really hurt him
Nah. JJ reddick, even Tyler hansborough is a bigger college legend than the biggest bust ever
In some weird way Adam Morrison was the first Kevin Durant. Dude has truly changed the game.
Bruh we are CLEARLY the same generation of hoop heads. I watch all your shit and you dont miss shit 99 outta 100. Big ups hoop love bruh

You know he was a bad defender if Luke Walton broke his ankles.
Subscribe to my channel !!
He wasn't the same after Luke hit him with that slow ass move
Lol
SMH I was thinking as the clip played... how the hell you get to ankles broken by LUKE WALTON!?!?!??!
Luke was slow but Luke was playing in wrong era. He woulda been more respected today. Luke could see the floor and pass. You could run plays thru him.
As a type 1 diabetic regardless of what he did in the NBA seeing the success he had at Gonzaga made me push my self even harder seeing how it was possible for people like us to do anything in the sports world
And it’s possible to reverse the disease. With Jesus anything’s possible
Adam Morrison just didn't have it after college

Adam Morrison was compare to Larry bird. he had a legendary season at Gonzaga. He was shooting 40%percent for three in college and NCAA player of the year between Adam morrison and jj redick. And he would have been a solid role player coming off the bench.

@@loonertic7337 no
JJ and coach K knew how to maximize his role, coming off screens and quick release and play tight defense. He was never meant to be a all around stud or even a big scorer outside of that.
Morrison was meant to be all everything especially on offense at GU and he never really got on the floor long enough to work it out for the Bobcats.
MJ ruined so many damn careers lmaooo
He was a good offensive player...his defense sucked but going to the bobcats killed him... he was no where near close to being a franchise player at the time.
Man. That's a tough break. But you're right, people do love to see failure...Especially on that level.
Can you do one on sean may north Carolina Bobcats player
Subscribe to my channel!
He did
Sean May!! Daamn, I forgot about him and I m from Indiana, lol!!
Did he do Hilton Armstrong and/or Josh Boone yet?
Overrated and a bust
For a diabetic to go as far as he did is just insane looking back at the era he joined. I’m sure he had battles even trying to get to most games during college and the league. Definitely impressive and shows how much he loved the game.
His ultimate stunt was Luke Walton crossing him up and making him tear his ACL.

Facts
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
The Scouts hyped him up like Anthony Bennett. Adam Morrison was solid diabetes is no joke some people can only push themselves to a certain limit but he was better than Bennett
Way better than Anthony Bennett

The man had a whole insulin pump attached.
seeing Morrison on the bench wearing a suit is always hilarious to me. I like Morrison's personality; diabetes and injuries undoubtedly stunted his growth.

I will go to my grave thinking Morrison would have been good had he gone to a team that was better ran than the damn Bobcats lol
He was nice in college,,,I seen him all the time on tv,,hence I'm from Washington state....
Well yea if all teams knew Adam at best would be a role player off the bench 6th or 7th man so a late lottery team would have drafted him. Something JJ Reddick was able to figure out to not be a NBA bust.
Yes!!!
Subscribe to my channel!!
@@loonertic7337 Give me a reason!!!
When he was coming out of college I’d figured he’d be a first round pick. But not 3rd overall! 😄 Getting drafted that high put unrealistic expectations on him. If he’d gone towards the bottom end of the lottery or the mid first round he could have gone to a team that would have had a better development plan for him. On a side note:
Adam Morrison
Kwame Brown
Michael Kidd-Gilcrest
Jared Jeffries
Does MJ know how to draft? 😄
He's either gotten better or has been more hands off as of late. I mean he couldn't miss that bad on the Melo pick.
That's been one of the biggest criticisms of MJ or those around him that he just can't spot talent. There are more - He drafted Sean May, Raymond Felton, Okafor (which looked great at the time but turned out to be mediocre), Drafted Shai G-A then traded him immediately, DJ Augustin, Brandan Wright, Cody Zeller, Noah Vonleh, Frank Kaminsky....Just an insane amount of terrible picks. Also had awful FA signings like Tyrus Thomas and Nick Batum. Kemba and LaMelo are the only picks he's like REALLY hit on.
My bad, MJ didn't draft Okafor, May & Felton. Still, his draft history isn't good :)
Can you do Bonzi Wells

I feel like he coulda had a JJ Reddick-like career if he was drafted mid first round instead of being a lottery pick.
Even JJ had to figure out how to be a NBA role player
C. H. Exactly 💯 he should have gone to a Spurs organization, he would have definitely developed in San Antonio.
The picture with Sean May is tough he fell off hard too.
I was never sold on him. Not only did he have poor lateral quickness but he didn't have a quick release, it was never going to be easy for him to get shots off at the pro level.
The knee injury definitely ruined any chance he had of making a career for himself, but that rookie shooting percentage was frightening. There's not too many guys who start their career off getting the touches he did and shooting so poorly who turned it around and had good careers.

I heard he stank, I mean literally as in never showered and this has been said by former teammates. That being said please include Joe Alexander on this series.
That was in Charlotte too. Maybe it was a result of depression, but it's embarrassing that it came to that.
Yooo the word Stank is always hilarious
Loving this series so far.
adam made 17million in the nba and a ring. i call that chilling
I really enjoy the videos, how about doing a video on Jonathan Simmons he played on the Spurs and then basically disappeared after wanting to leave that team.
Subscribe to my channel!
Didn’t he sign with the magic ?
@@Quinn91202 then got traded to Philly.
All I gotta say is, Kobe said he could really play. And Kobe was never been one to lie about someone's game, even if it's a teammate.
I been finding myself watching and enjoying your videos. You just earned a sub! Thank you, keep up the good work!
This was when Gonzaga was still slowly, steadily earning their stripes, and them making it as far as a Sweet 16 felt like a huge deal
Love the vids man keep it up
DAN DICKAU next Gonzaga before 1998-2002.
These videos are 🔥 so are the rap ones keep it up
Haha man I just mentioned him on another one of your videos!! The Bobcats great white nope. Hell at least he made it to the league
Shoutout to AM for turning the beat around and focusing on Life itself 💪🏾
Keep up the good content g
🔥
Would you consider doing stunted growth teams? Teams such as early-mid 2000s suns
Awesome idea!
Mid 90's Denver Nuggets
@@tyrrellwilson4557 Lob City Clippers
💯💯
Thats dope. Or even the fall of teams. Iike 04 Pistons
Another great video BTW you should do a blast from the past segment about forgotten greats that don't get mentioned like Sidney moncrief terry Cummings
Excellent content always Bro! Happy B-Day to the GOAT MJ, which is my B-Day as well! #2/17
Damon Bailey, Steve Alford, Calbert Channey, Sam Bowie, Todd Hamonds, Othello Harrington.
He still goes down as a great college basketball player
Do MKG who got drafted #2 out of Kentucky. I love Kentucky but I knew he’d be a bum in the league. Beal really went 3 🤦🏿♂️
I was never high on him
MKG is a Bust
Unequivocally attempt: 10 out of 10 for effort. Keep up the good work.
It’s just miracle and an amazing accomplishment that a guy who has to take insulin on the bench during the game can play at that level. He was injecting it on the bench
I’d like to see Christian Laettner
He had a quiet good career in hindsight. Was he duke level good, no. But he did make an all star team.
The 30 for 30 I Still Hate Christian Laettner was awesome and eye popping. People ehem haters called him a Spoiled Brat, Born with a silver spoon in his mouth but sooo very far from the truth

At 6:08 that whole damn pic is full of Stunted Growths. Lol
Austin Daye
YES
I have being waiting on this one adam morrison the next larry bird they said
Do Reece Gaines, Andrew Nicholson, Purvis Ellison and Jimmer Fredette
I was thinking Jimmer too
@@dopey8576 Jesus, he did Jimmer already!
Reece Gaines hoopers know
@@buzzerbeater3350 I m just watching the jimmer episode now I might have either seen it before last year but I just didn't remember or I am having a case of the Mandela effect
@@miapratt7017 I could've saved you 10 minutes. Jimmer thought the team should be about him. Period. Besides shooting, he had no athleticism, was not an elite passer and was a poor defender.
Great work bro. Do one on Kenny Satterfield.
9:00 he was still in a suit when they won the damn championship 😭💀
Luka Doncic is what I thought Adam Morrison was gonna be
Good comparison
He can’t handle the ball close to how Louka does
Great video can u do big country Brian Reeves
Great request!
Do Mario Hezonja
Awesome idea!
Adam Morrison was that dude in college. People compared him to Larry Bird at one point
Do Sam Bowie 🤣🤣🤣 jadakiss said what if Portland would’ve drafted Jordan instead of SAM BOWIE
Or Kevin Durant instead of Greg Oden!
IT DONT MATTER PORTLAND GOT TO CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE JORDAN
Can you do jimmer fredette next
I think me and Morrison is around the same age, but anyways I thought that he was definitely going to be the next coming of Bird out of college. Bird is one of my all-time fav players so that's saying a lot for me 🤦🏾♂️
Yes- without a doubt

As a diehard Bobcats/Hornets fan we know all bout big time bust..and he was one...but hey he got a ring...thx kobe....lmao
You should do one on the best basketball player to ever come out of LA, Raymond Lewis. There is a documentary coming out on him soon.
Exree Hipp one of the best names in ncaa history
I remember one game he played against my Celtics when he was a Bobcat. He just caught fire and made tough shot after tough shot. He had over thirty that game and the Bobcats won. It was incredible, and it was against the KG big 3 team too, so it was even more impressive. He straight up cooked us that day. I thought it was him finally becoming what he was supposed to be but no, it was just an anomaly of a game. I remember thinking that he actually would have been a good fit on that Celtic team just as a scorer of the bench. If he had a better situation and a coach who understood how to utilize him, who knows, maybe he has a decent career.
@alexandermendez4653 adam morrison never scored 30 against the celtics that was against the pacers only time he scored that much in the nba in a game most he scored against boston was 26 that was the year before the kg big 3 team was formed
@@justinalley3399 mandella effect. I remember it happening. Maybe he had 25 or something
gotta get one on Marcus Fizer
Bruh I haven't heard that name in damn near 15yrs
Subscribe to my channel !!
If you wanna jinx a player on the NBA Level just say he'll be the next Jordan or Bird. Guarantee Fail. Morrison was tweener, too slow to play the two and not strong enough to play the 3 or 4.
He looks like he belonged as a stoner in the 70’s. Which is hilarious because he actually looks a lot like Randall “pink” Floyd from the movie Dazed and Confused
You might as well do Raymond Felton too
Seeing him celebrate in a suit is funny af
🖤✊🏿...
Some players are Great college players but don't have it in them to be Great or Good players on the highest Level. well he won 2 chips and made it too the league like you stated the people who make videos bashing him most likely never hooped before or made it as far as Adam did. I agree with stunts 1 and 3
He looks like Bill Hader from SNL!😂😂😂
It’s crazy I was just thinking when he gonna mama stunted growth on Adam Morrison
Subscribe to my channel!
in jr Morrison was my favorite player I thought he was gonna light the league I legit thought he was the next Larry Legend but I was wrong haha still one of the greatest college hoopers ever though.
Andrea Bargnani dude was a certified bust.
Dude wasn't great but he wasn't a bust...
Can you do a vid on Gelo Ball??? @Stunted Growth???
You should do joe Johnson
Hey can you do Brandon Triche he played with Michael Carter Williams at Syracuse? Thanks
MCW you can chalk it up to Injuries and Not being a Good shooter
Hell yea that's a good one u thought he would have made it man!!! 🖤✊🏿
I thought he was gone be Luca before Luca. He killed in college.
No if anything he was Doug Mc.
yoooooooooooo
The turning point for most fans was that Sweet Sixteen game against Arizona. Breaking down like that on national television made pretty much everyone scratching their heads. Or shaking them.
The turning point of this comment is when you said Sweet 16 game vs Arizona... Many people turned their heads after figuring out you don't know what the hell you're talking about..
Do thon maker or dante exum stunted growth
He did dante already
Do you have a Stunted video for yourself? Curious about your story.
Can you do mario Chalmers and devean George
Subscribe to my channel.
Now THIS is an ultimate bust lol
He sure had a sweet jump shot it was textbook mechanics
A.J. Guyton - Indiana
Hoopers know
Martell Webster or travis outlaw. They were back to back h.s first rounders from Portland
I'm still requesting the one of Kris Bruton
Subscribe to my channel!!
WCC, he played against non pros and scrubs. Its wild because he could shoot, how did he not pan out?, i know he was a diabetic but shooters always find a way in the pros. I think it was his drive maybe? NCAA legend tho.
Man gave Michigan state a 40+ and gave B Roy a 40 piece in college. He definitely proved he was that guy that year no question..
Do Amir Johnson next
I remember he was supposed to be like the next Bird or something
Do a video on Gerald Wallace aka Crash
We gotta get damon bailey featured
Do a ultimate bust series on Michael olowokandi
Might as well dig in the crates for larue martin or chris washburn if you lookin at ultimate busts....but again...imma still root for the stunted growth of ricky davis
Just a reminder-Gerald Wallace was the only one in the Bobcats era to become an All-Star. Not even Kemba can say that
he def is an ultimate bust. i rem i thought he was gonna be huge. He was that dude at Gonzaga. i think stunt #1 and #3 hurt him the most. If he woulda been drafted to the right team, things may have worked out better. i never knew he had diabetes. For ultimate busts, u gotta do Michael Olawakandi, Sam Bowie, Nick Collison, Kwame Brown etc
Sam bowie was actually decent when he wasnt injured all the other players were true bust didnt have the talent
@@ogmusik2549 true, but to be drafted that high (esp over MJ), i felt he didn't live up to expectations
@@Classicbasketballdvds its not his fault sam bowie would have live up to his expectation accdg to his skill set but injuries is not fully your control. He was just like oden. Watched him in college he could be a prime bynum as a ceiling but injuries really sucked his potential.
@@BlackOrder007 i have to go back and watch his college games. If Oden didn't get injured, he woulda been a prob
How the hell is Nick Collison a bust? Lol
Do one of Anthony Mason
@stuntedgrowth have you thought about playing for the Bohemian National Team?
It's crazy he was such a bust. His game translated well imo. I think injuries hurt him some...hed fit in today's league a lot better
