👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Great perspective on this one! I was one of those people that ragged on Kwame for years as a Lakers fan, but now that I’m older I realize that not everyone loves the game like MJ or Kobe. Some people are just trying to make it out of their hometown and provide for their families (I.e. Kwame or Sebastian Telfair). Not everyone has the drive and resolve to strive to become a Hall of Famer? Let’s be honest, how many people are guilty of not giving 110% at their jobs 24/7? How many people respond negatively to harsh criticism on a daily basis?! Food for thought

That doesn’t work on everyone. You can’t give everyone the drill Sarge routine. Some people need to be lead to greatness.

He’s not trash at all. He made it to the NBA and had a long career and can take care of himself and his family for generations. He’s a hero in my book, won in the game of life

So he shouldn't be upset at the criticisms of his career.It's plenty of guys who played for their survival n family but they also give a shit about basketball and worked hard.Kwame didn't and it's obvious so he can't be mad when he didn't try his hardest

Crazy shit is some of his former teammates like Gilbert Arenas & Antawn Jamison.....speaks of how agile he was and how good he was the problem was that after all of the MJ stop and media spewing that he was garbage. Coaches refused to help the Kwame get his confidence back by simply feeding him the ball and forcing the offense to be ran through him.....Arenas stated on his podcast had they allowed him to get more touches it would've helped with his confidence.....because when he did get alot of touches he had good games.

Kwame would've been better served getting drafted later to a team that had some established veteran bigs, where he could develop slowly. I still have him as a top 10 pick in my redraft, but I think the pressure of being #1 overall overwhelmed him. Even if he were only the 6th or 7th pick that would have taken a huge load off his shoulders.

Great journalism. I had to come back to this video again. What I like 👍🏽 about stunted growth is a place to learn. Many Platforms take the same approach as Stephen A to be little players and joke on their downfalls. Where you speak on what went wrong and what have caused their growth to get stunted. Mr. Brown is the goat 🐐 in life.

Doug Collins has always said HE was to blame for Kwame failure.

I appreciate this one. Provides a different perspective on him. It must have been hell playing for MJ as a kid. Do Anthony Bennett if you haven't already.

This is my favorite video from this channel. In the wake of the Kobe situation I have come to like and respect Kwame Brown.

Jordan great player...horrible minority owner and president of basketball operations for the Washington Wizards. Jordan made some bad decisions.

Great video again. This was a sensitive young man. He had to deal with Jordan and Kobe. Both of who leadership was questionable at the time. To make it in the NBA it not just talent alone. You have hope you have an organizational fit. I really enjoyed this one bruh.

I played at a camp in high school with him and he had committed to Florida. I thought he was decent for a 6'10 dude in high school lol next thing you know he's skipping UF and going straight to the league. ..lol then after that he goes #1 overall!!! At the time I'm thinking damn I thought he'd be a decent college player but by no means is he league ready. I guess it showed. He honestly had a better career than I woulda thought seeing him at that camp

Kwame's issues: confidence, and the situation he was put during the beginning of his career. They changed his game and he became an incomplete player: he was an agile power forward, they made him a stiff center. Injuries also played a part. He also changed his jumpshot (you can compare his earlier highlights to see how he had a decent form) and his free throw ritual changed every year... very good indicators of confidence issues

You’d figure for one who dealt with MJ and Kobe, Kwame would develop a fighting spirit that would help him develop as a player. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case, that said, he is indeed strong in his own right for withstanding the verbal maulings of two legends who were sort of two of a kind.

who cares bro Kwame chewing right now

I actually like Kwame. I think Jordan actually wanted this guy to succeed. He saw the resemblance of how much they looked alike (others probably pointed this out to Jordan as well). Also Jordan knew about his story. I really feel Jordan felt impassioned to Kwame, and was fed up and got angry. Feeling that Kwame wasn't trying hard enough. Going hard enough to want to be the best he can be. Just like Jordan did himself. I can feel Jordan on that note. Kobe also; to a certain degree. Kobe however, just thought Kwame was lazy and was a waste of space. I didn't like how Kobe would hold press conferences, and discussions behind Kwame's back; and talk about how bad he was. That showed the "Scumbagednish" of Kobe; and he was at many times...a Scumbag.

This is great. What about Winifred Walton that would be a good video as well

Stephen A spazzing has me dead lmao

Man...This was an eye opener. Because as a Laker Fan, I was one of Brown's detractors. Thanks for the insight.

Your videos are great. In the future could you perhaps consider Dallas Comegeys of Depaul, Billy Owens of Syracuse and Rex Chapman of Kentucky?

I whole-heatedly believe he's MJ's illegitimate son, look at their facial features. Couple that with the fact MJ took him 1st when Curry and Chandler were far better talents and prospects and Z-Bo was ready out the gate... But to your point, if getting munnie and getting over more deserving players is everything, he's def a winner. Not much different than Marv Williams in my eyes... Great work as always fam, I see him in a slightly different light.

great breakdown!!!!

can you do wayne blackshear?

I believe he had a reputation as a good post defender back in the day though if we were to pick out a standout skill. He always seemed to play hard. I appreciate that more than someone like another #1 Oluwakandi who just didn't seem into it.

SAS absolutely garbage...anyway Jordan is a Que if you know the fraternity along with his determination on the court Brown didn’t have a chance. Now go get SAS boxing tape and let’s discuss how bad his footwork is and how his hands couldn’t break a egg.

For a scrub, he certainly had a long NBA career at 12 years. Any player featured in Stunted Growth would have loved to have played that long.

I don't always agree with you. Especially how you did my boy Joe Forte lol but I became introduced to your channel on this video. You were one of the only honest people who broke down Kwame Brown's career. Good to see this video aged extremely well . RESPECK.

Has any bust have 30 and 19 and play 12 nba years... false narratives the media pushes is wild... someone said kwame may be mikes son 🧐

Damn, watching this video again a year later, with what Kwame is saying now, you’ve hit the spot. You basically understood him before he spoke

I am a Kwame fan. We know why they tried to belittle him, simply because Colleges were paranoid of all the young ballers going straight to the NBA. All about money.

Lot of pressure to be under but he still ain't fold

Thabo Sefolosha please

How can you grow up w that many brothers and sisters and be that soft to let another man demean you? Doesn't matter who it is.

I thought he had messed his game up by the added weight.

I'm glad he came back to tell his side of the story

He could have had a style of play like KG. The height and quickness. If he went to the Spurs he would have been a completely different player.

I think Kwame was drafted to the wrong team. I think of he had been drafted to a team where he didn't have to take on such harsh criticism his confidence would still be there. Also, his agility and good it was was mentioned in the video. With that said, probably never would've encouraged him to bulk up. I would've encouraged him on out run the 4s and 5s he went up against on the break and on offense and on defense use his quick feet to draw charges on just about anyone. Maybe if lighter could use him in pick and roll to get layups or open mid range even though he had small hands. I don't think that would've been asking too much and probably would've been good as a 3rd or 4th scoring option on the right team.

DAMN...

Eventually Kwame became an "enforcer" type, a great screen setter, a guy who once coaches figured out his weaknesses would work with his strengths. MJ was bad for KB, very bad so was Kobe BUT they were also good for him in the long run. He may have been out of the league without them riding him like they did. KB may not be podcasting, and expressing/defending himself the way he does without MJ and Kobe. He was a kid and though MJ was tough KB may have gained alot in the long-run. Having a decade plus NBA career and getting to the bag, I'm not mad at KB. His game in today's era would be a say Steven Adams (a vet Kwame, Pistons KB)

This man lived his dreams and got paid well for it. His life is a damn success!

The weight thing makes perfect sense.

It’s time

He still a bust!! I'm not change my opinion because all these people like him now 6.6 don't make you a star!!

Fam I can appreciate this guy tryna put a positive spin on EVERYTHING. But all this revisionist history on kwame brown's pro career gotta stop. He is one of the worst #1 overall picks ever. As a Washingtonian I saw him be a bum for yrs live not on a tv screen.

Hold up. You respect this bum but hate Forte?! 🤦🏽‍♂️

Idc what anyone says, a teenager that spends his high school years with that schedule and work ethic is going to be fine in life (barring mental issues or uncontrollable circumstances)

Brown had way too much pressure for his age, and growing up in a place were there was no father figure, and having the dude who he most likely looked up to growing up call him all kinds of names. would make any young man lose focus.

It was all setup at that time because the league was trying to overshadow mj from the league and they needed someone to be the face of the league.they wanted Kwame most likely but they found out about a kid from Akron Ohio and they wanted him. So they had to tarnish kb image to make room for lbj.now we see how they trying to make lbj the face by trying to make him the greatest of all time to dethrone mj from his popularity in the NBA.my opinion

Wanna see Iowa’s pg. Pierre Pierce..... deep story,,,!,,,

If ya cannot get past people being tough on you, you will fail. Look beyond how ya feel, push beyond.

To me it was Michael Jordan's fault because the Wizards selected him in the draft as the number 1 pick out of high school and you tore down this guys confidence by calling him names and when he got to the Lakers Kobe Bryant did the same thing and you expect him to be better overall. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
