The Most Overhyped NBA Prospect

#nba
Shabazz Muhammed was the projected number 1 overall pick out of high school but he washed out of the NBA by age 25. Now he's trying to make a comeback and this is a look at what he's had to go through on his way back to an NBA roster.

Great "what happened to" video. You hit the nail on the head ... making it to the NBA is a HUGE accomplishment, but if you don't have Kyrie, Hardin, KD, LBJ or Steph talent, you're STILL replaceable if you're a headache to the league. It's a BUSINESS first and foremost!

[@lukegallegos1359]

Nobody even wants Kyrie, it's not just about the talent. Kyrie is probably the goat when it comes to pure ball handling, but his attitude makes no one want him

[@RichFlemingRealtor]

@@lukegallegos1359 ... you prove my point ... if it weren't for his GOAT level handles and scoring ability, Kyrie would have been out of the league a while ago due to his attitude and the drama he creates.

[@ryantravis242]

Kyrie will be there soon hes just a better Shabaz

[@dr.jackkevorkian1119]

Worst opening take I’ve ever heard . Lame AF. Think for yourself and stop trying to say what you think is the woke thing people watching want to hear . A guy see a women He likes , a fellow college student at another school Like What the heck are you on about it being creepy ? You weirdo . Yea, He sees His soulmate and says We’re going to make All Americans Then makes it happen . But all funny looking, corny arss can say is “ creepy “ and “ never mind what his future kids wants “ Yea , no one wants to be an All American. 🤨 What the heck?! Dude is lame.

[@briangibbon3381]

Kyrie and harden are repacible.... I think you ment giannis and joik or embiid.... kyrie left boston and they are better for it.... and harden didn't do anything to be put in that convo...

[@cameron8151]

Like the ravel Morrison point out. Props for the football reference

[@fe4raj150]

I love the what happened series

[@irsyasalim6679]

LMAO.. didn't see Ravel Morisson comparison coming 🤣

[@BC21beats]

I played against this guy at the mater dei Nike tournament it was crazy how much more mature he was compared to everyone else

[@partysover4324]

Good videos I always love the stories and positivity

[@dr.jackkevorkian1119]

You have a talent to tell a negative story with a great enthusiasm

[@parsifal40]

lol you're right

He's great

[@pablocomendador6670]

This guy is incredible

[@artur583]

If ever in doubt, call Ron...Ron's got a plan 😂

[@fullbackdive41]

Bro was always one of my favorite players.

[@JLCxEditz]

wtf

[@BoatsNhoes824]

This dudes a bum, how 😂

[@Kristofferjohn]

Thank you for mentioning Philippines basketball it means a lot here!

[@markdanielalea5731]

Yeah, after he lowkey dissed Phl basketball

[@wavemaker2077]

he is actually looking down on the philippines. did you hear how he described the interview area? unglamorous dirty hallway. but the video didn't show a dirty hallway. unglamorous maybe.

[@shubham3139]

Just loved ur content 🔥 Ur going to be a big deal near future ❤️

[@farrdawgjoker7087]

He has all the talent but the work effort and drive has always been a problem. He has to now be that guy who goes 110% at all times and absolutely no plays off on offense or defense.

[@milespinson7915]

When this channel becomes famous don't forget me

[@helllooopeepsk3024]

I watched this dude throw down a 360 dunk in the NV state championship my senior year. His team was killing a team that killed my team, pretty humbling

[@victorf6672]

Shabazz Muhammad comparison being Ravel is one I would think of but it's so true, well done.

[@kikidoulabme4121]

MORE LIKE THIS VID PLS!! been a silent supporter for a really long time now

[@jaypeequi8025]

"unglamorous dirty hallway" 😅

[@stevenneal9440]

You are my one of my favorite NBA KZbinrs.

[@bakerboy2267]

Another fire video. Feel sorry for shabazz. with a name like that he deservs to be in the nba.

[@MM713MM]

Loving the ⚽️ references Casey. You seem very knowledgeable to know about Morisson

[@andrewkucheruk]

Great video. Like that the video actually has a lesson. Keep it up.

[@forgivezhariondissapointed4234]

People kept saying he needed to add a 3 ball. But I don't think that's the problem. He needed to find another team first of all. So he could get minutes. His defense was improving. His 3 ball will come together later. Just watching him hit 3's in a video had great form already. Best part of his game is his post up game. He needed one-two more moves to be unstoppable.

[@dcers5161]

I hope he makes it back to the league. I liked watching him play when I had t-wolves season tickets KAT’s rookie year.

[@kiellybells9082]

I'm from Philippines bro. Shabazz really dominate our pro league in the Philippines.

[@izelawrence2829]

"But as usual, Ron had a plan." -Casey

[@paulanthonydiaz4456]

Silent viewers from Philippines. Always watching to your channel

[@brucelau2023]

Love the what happened series so so much

[@Mrgiftedsoul]

BAZZ was a beast on the block in 2k that dude could post any gaurd up

[@istari2]

first! i love your content, you're my favorite NBA KZbinr

[@milespinson7915]

He's underrated

[@yargcascante8864]

I’m from Philippines and a San Miguel Fan.. Bazz didn’t shine in PBA but instead he was replaced as an import.. 57point game look like a fluke because of that..

[@jennifertaylor8978]

I watch all of your videos despite the lack of Denver Nuggets content. ( please work on that). Anyway, this is one of the best videos you've ever done. I'm actually rooting for the guy

[@jayward8237]

Always wondered what happened to him. Great video! I

[@TheRealPepman]

At 5:17, to the left, wearing jersey #5, is Paolo Banchero's cousin, Chris Banchero.

[@juderamones4953]

i love your content bro keep it up!!!!!!!!

[@jamessauro4101]

Unglamorous dirty hallway 💀💀💀

[@53anHarri50n]

I hope he gets another chance. Not everyone can get it right the first time, it’s important to keep trying though

[@jdp.2k]

pretty dope that I got to watch him live and drop 57

[@niccolobanini7190]

Amazing interesting video

[@JoeyDaPal]

Sorry this isn’t as related as it could be, but I just wanna point out that Shabazz’s PBA team, which also happens to be the PBA’s equivalent of the Lakers or Celtics, was called the “San Miguel Beermen”, not to be confused with the “reigning” champion Barangay Ginebra San Miguel. So apparently the way team names work in the PBA is, because there are no home stadiums, since there are like 6 main stadiums along with other venues elsewhere in the country, instead teams have home companies, and are named as such, like the reigning runner-up Meralco(an electricity company) Bolts, the NLEX(a highway company) Road Warriors, and now-defunct teams like the 7-Up Uncolas and the Toyota Super Corollas. It’s like if, instead of the Detroit Pistons, they were called the Little Caesar’s Hot-N-Readys. Apparently these teams tend to change names a lot too, since for example this is currently the 4th stint of that team being called the San Miguel Beermen, technically 5th if you wanna count the time they were the Gold Eagle Beermen instead.

[@liox1638]

Wow! that's a lot to say for a team that was mentioned for just a few seconds 😆

[@lenliu749]

Shabazz should sign with little Caesar's lol thanks for the informative post.

[@JoeyDaPal]

Yeah, well I personally just find the whole team name thing hilarious and it should go without saying that chances to bring it up don't come up very often.

[@blackstewiegriffin]

To sum it up Shabazz played with a stacked team overseas thats why he looked good. All he does is score over guys 6'6 and below.

[@alvincreatives3974]

Making fun of teams in the Phil.. how the european teams they were sounded worst and hard to pronounce!!!

[@gregrousell5422]

He would be great in Memphis’s locker room if he can get his play up, give him a chance with the hustle and go from there

[@yaboick6807]

as a filipino i was suprised to see shabazz muhammad in playing in the pba while watching a pba game.

[@littlefield7987]

the big Bazz!

[@Jackey_Chen]

Wasnt this the guy who was drafted one pick after Giannis?

[@angelonoguez5714]

So close to 200k subs

[@Deondre_Clark]

Hate it when people say violating NCAA rules is "illegal". The NCAA has rules not laws. You can call it unethical, wrong, a bad decision, or a rule violation but it's not illegal.

[@Frostie323]

Didn’t he turn down a $40 million dollars contract

[@barclaypierre740]

Boston needs him

[@williamsmith6861]

You were right in the kyrie video. Good marketing plan and follow. I'm here because of that video. Didn't regret. So shut up and take this like and sub sir!

[@jjmcg9688]

Mn offered him a 4/40 he turned down too.

[@THCBOT]

Twolves legend 🙌

[@ryanbulaong2637]

He played here in the Philippines. He is a good scorer but definitely not an import than can bring you championships

[@dunkseidjay5438]

Glad you made another "China is great' video. Otherwise I don't see why is this shift up in the middle of nowhere %)

[@jpthegr8860]

Shabazz going off for 50 against a bunch of 5’2” Phillipinos? He can play on my YMCA team any day.

[@ballin0ut680]

Shabazz should teach og anunoby.

[@indigomarine91]

he should have went to kentucky for 2-3 years and he would be a name people know in the nba today

[@darthvader1494]

At least Shabazz is kind of a cool name in my opinion.

[@Aidan_bradford]

Damn Zion comparison back firef

[@MK-we9sw]

5:30 that hallway doesn't look dirty.

[@ollytropics1735]

From what I remember he actually could be valuable imo he was a 6'4 and had a good post scoring game he could in an ideal world be a Bruce brown type

[@danmonday3724]

I wonder how he feels when he sees Giannis. The guy drafted right under his foot

[@silvertigerhd7401]

To think this man was taken before Giannis

[@ZangetsuDDR]

To be fair, no one knew Giannis would turn into what he is today. Not defending the Wolves, they're a disaster of a franchise.

[@silvertigerhd7401]

@@ZangetsuDDR True, they passed up on Curry, George, Walker, Thompson, Leonard, Butler, Antetokounmpo, Gobert, Jokic, Sabonis, Murray, Siakam, Brogdon, Mitchell, Adebayo, Allen, and Herro. Other picks they traded away, which some turned out to be good.

Why are you always screaming? I love it tho. 😂😂😂

I worked with Shabazz. He’s a good dude

Shabazz Muhammad best fit Dallas or Phoenix

I mean he was 20 in highschool 💀

He's Really Great In The Pba (Shabazz Muhammad) But The Problem Is They Were Swept By Meralco In Quarterfinals

Sweet flock of seagulls hair!

Next to do what happened to Jordan Bell I wanna know what happened to him

Dirty hallway in the Philippines? What a description!! 5:28

[@daigoshirase4853]

4:27 “In heavily polluted northern China.” Yeah, f**k this guy. 👎 A wannabe FlightMike.

[@CGrox2012]

ok lets be real…if you are filipino, san miguel is a great pba team

[@michaelallan7981]

Shabazz needs to average at least 60 pts. in the Philippines to be considered NBA acceptable again.

[@ericwilliams626]

That was not a picture of Ron Holmes. Ron Holmes was on the Clippers for about two seconds. He didn't have the fire nor did he like having to play against players who were just as good if not better. He lacked character. This is a disease in sports.

[@omegatron269]

What happened to your off season videos? Felt like you didn’t hit every team

[@davidjesse9641]

Really watch His last NCAA championship run you can understand why they hyped him to that point and I really just feel like it doesn’t matter who you are as a player it matters about fit because the team might not need you to be who you are

[@thuggwaffle8825]

When having no moral compass ruins your entire life and potential…

[@LuxembourgBasketball]

First Noti gang

[@comicfox9151]

Bro was literally compared to Kobe Bryant smh

[@Vibestr]

so wolves passed on Curry and Giannis lol

[@josiahsanchez8051]

I know it’s a long shot but imagine the wolves got Curry, stayed a little bad and then got Giannis! And don’t hate on me for this Curry, Giannis, KAT

[@lukegallegos1359]

Lavar ball admitted to doing the same thing with his wife and look what happened to his children lol

[@lewisk3725]

Oof. This is why good parenting is so important.

[@co30walkk]

Forgot all about him

[@detpistons4l401]

Not much market for a 29 year old who never got consistent minutes in the nba before. Never played that well in the league either. He’d really have to impress to get another shot.

[@forgivezhariondissapointed4234]

I dont think bazz was gonna have a future with the team with them already commited to wiggs. Both were wing players with similar styles. Thibs wasn't having that.

[@gabrieltabora6432]

Unglamorous dirty hallway?? Dafoq

Wrong Ron Holmes Shabazz dad played ball for USC

[@filibuster_jpr]

Yea dude what happened!? 🤔
