I think you should have put Javaris Crittendon in this video. He was a lottery pick that fell to the second round because of character and criminal behavior. The Lakers took him in the second round, and were happy to package him with the Gasol brother trade because they didn't like what they saw. He was the other man bringing guns in the locker room in the Gilbert Arenas situation, and from what I've heard about Crittendon, probably the instigator. The media pretty much ignored him in that instance and focused on Arenas. Then Crittendon shot and murdered a woman. From college, to the NBA, to post NBA career, Crittendon was known for his gun play.

Who tf do you think you are having a whole 1+ minute ad in the video?

[@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly]

Being an all-time great in the NBA isn’t just about having God-given abilities, high court IQ, and a high work ethic, *it’s also about having a high degree of self-control-especially when you’re young and starting out your career.*

[@mattmmixes]

Also knowing who you can trust. Kawhi and KD are smart for being loners.

[@andycanoy863]

U could say self-control from making poor decisions is an underrated skill that separates what if/ruined careers from good/great careers.

[@AirRusher1992]

"Be careful what you wish for." That should serve as a reminder for those young players.

[@ImChris4]

I want it all!!

[@FadeHook23]

Joshua Primo the Wiener Wombat

[@mattmmixes]

Insane nickname

[@JDXZA]

His nickname is “the Flash”

[@RandomBurner]

10:54 “HOLLER…IF YA HEAR ME!” 😂

[@abw1317]

Primo going commando with a purpose. Bro couldve just paid women to look at his junk lol

[@pieceoftrashkeith]

The two Josh are menace to society.

[@silvianosanchez8430]

Michael Ray Richardson was on his way to be an all-time great. But, he couldn't stop doing drugs.

[@andycanoy863]

Addiction regardless of what type is difficult to get rid of if you don't have the willpower and proper support system to get better.

[@pieceoftrashkeith]

5:19 sadly, he *stroked* another thing

[@jimgegegegegegegege2306]

Primo is "the flash"

[@jbug1979]

Dennis Schröeder kinda destroyed his career after declining that $84M Lakers contract.

[@tyguy916]

Not really his career, his money at the time for sure. He’s at least still in the league and still got paid.

[@jbug1979]

@@tyguy916 yea i just haven't seen him playing in a national TV game since then. i dunno, i don't really follow him.

[@jbj7599]

That's false

[@hunterishairy]

Never knew any of this about Jay Williams

[@michael_d.jordan]

Primo just wanted to show his stroke on & off the court

[@SuperNASCARrocks]

Here after Josh Primo got signed and waived by the same team after 9 hours

[@RE1GN_BLOOD]

I was kinda stoked we got Jackson instead of Tatum. I’m ashamed in even thinking about that.

[@marcobattiston1702]

Tarpley's story make me really sad. He was a hell of a player 😢 In Europe he dominated.

[@m9ch15l]

What abt len bias? Or that guy who fell asleep with ice packs on his knee or ankle?

[@croftmire]

That 2nd guy was Tyson Wheeler, if memory serves correctly.

[@danielvasquez3758]

Great video Andy thanks again!!

[@andycanoy863]

You have the free will to control yourself or do something incredibly stupid that'll ruin your NBA career. Self-control is key. Ya wouldn't do something if u knew it was gonna get you into trouble.

[@00doubleback43]

So early it might be in my recommended later

[@yellowferrariinc4039]

Josh Jackson was a good player but he should thought about the decisions he made , such a shame tho

[@sebastianlajos866]

Porter destroyed his career for maybe 60 or 70k in earnings, insane

[@chadog900]

JayWill found a way to get CTE as a hooper

[@homerthompson416]

That wasn't the reaction when the Spurs drafted Primo. The reaction was WTF how did this scrub go #12? Or WTF why didn't the Spurs draft Sengun? Or WTF they could have gotten this guy in the late 20s. Spurs fans HATED the pick and Primo's career highlight was one preseason game he hit a bunch of threes and had the crowd chanting his name. He's not a good player or he would have made it wit hthe Clippers and he was the stupidest draft pick the Spurs have ever made.

[@滋榎本]

The Second Overall NBA Draft Pick is Cursed Every NBA team has a draft pick they wish they could take back over their history, whether a superstar was drafted the pick after, or their pick just failed to live up to their potential. In particular, the 2nd overall pick has had quite a surreal number of players not to live up to expectations. There are exceptions, of course, namely Kevin Durant, Isiah Thomas, Jason Kidd, Bill Russell etc. Since 1974, 50 YEARS AGO, the 2nd pick in the NBA Draft has generated a total of 1 MVP, the least of any top 5 pick.

[@MrOctober44]

You forgot Gary Payton.

[@Disneymagic24]

I thought Josh Jackson was gunna be sooo good

[@alarydavidnin]

Ben Simmons for not learning to shot before getting to the spotlight

[@Dre3010]

4 game suspension for sexual harassment is nasty nasty work by Adam Silver

[@JDXZA]

Joshua Primo aka The Flash

[@eugenealexander5607]

Hopefully Primo can make a comeback

[@somerandom6883]

Jay Williams is really one of the biggest what if.

[@croftmire]

One redeeming feature of his career is that in his lone NBA season he did get a triple-double (against the NJ Nets, IIRC). Many longer-career players have never achieved that.

[@RobertaMartinez-m7g]

Thank you for your attention to detail and quality. Your videos are always impressive.🏝🐪♦️

[@drevil2675]

Next time you can add Ja on the list .

[@eugenealexander5607]

Len Bias!

[@presley.25]

josh jackson was jus a crash out since his kansas days who game never got better since

[@Basedva]

guy calling players stupid uses the word “stupidest” to title a video, the irony lol

[@kamerangraham7393]

🤓

[@Zaghzackio]

This has gotta be the stupidest comment on this video...

[@vanjanja]

Lebron is always crying

[@ImChris4]

Players shouldn't get banned for gambling, it's not a big deal 🎰

[@mattmmixes]

If you’re gambling on your team as a major rotation piece it’s definitely a big deal. But ngl if bronny bets on the lakers who cares not like he can do anything he’s just gonna warm the bench.

[@kidflashiv]

It is when it’s explicitly written in the rules that you’re not supposed to do that and when you bet on your own games and purposely play a certain way to hit on the bets.
