[@matthewstein5854]

I feel like a lot of these high draft pick players basically spent from like 14 or 16 years old to 20 basically being told they are a star and knowing they will make the NBA. Therefore knowing they will be rich as F. Nowadays they only spend 1 year in college. The whole time often pampered and being covered and praised similarly to an NBA star with all the Media coverage. Even if they dont succeed in March Madness they often still are considered in the top 5 for the draft. I feel like a lot of this has led to massive egos and complacency on some of their part. They are naturally talented, and athletically superior to most of their competition until the NBA. Even a poor March Madbess they can convince themselves it was the team. Then they get to the NBA with the same mentality and same work ethic. Ayton for example gaming late until the night. It never hindered him before so he doesnt change. The NBA level is elite and u gotta work for it no matter what. LBJ is a crazy human specimen basically made for Basketball. Dude still spent so much time in the Gym honing his skills and improving physically. If u are convinced u will succeed purely bcuz u were told so and have so far up to that point done just that it's often a major wake up call. Some players recognize this and put in that work. Others let their Ego get in the way and blame everyone but themselves. Examples being Simmons and Ayton. Look at Giannis or Curry. Neither was believed to reach the level they have when they were teens and young adults. Giannis had to work hard as shit and coming from Greece was not given any special treatment. Instead he was doubted. Curry wasnt considered big or strong enough. Being just a 3 pt shooter specialist and nothing more. He took a small program in Davidson to what the Elite 8 or Final 4 (honestly forget) No one had been saying this kid is the future of the NBA. He put in the work though and reached an elite level.

The microscope that DA is placed under isn't anywhere the same as the one placed on the players I mentioned, even though Ayton HAS that playoff success that the former players at that top 3 pick level don't have.

[@DrewHumphrey18]

I love these ❤

[@jpragata017]

Ayton compared to Hassan Whiteside, insulting to Hassan Whiteside, at least Whiteside led the league in blocks one year. Ayton never led the league in anything in his career.

[@The_cois_16]

Bro your music timing is hysterical 15:21

[@POTATOSPINNER21]

1 minute ago, have already watched the entire video i swear this shit is gold

[@jerrycarrion5358]

I love your outro bro, goosebumps everytime

[@jamesshone1677]

Releasing it on a day he goes 33 and 19 gotta hurt

[@elyolson3726]

Would you ever think about doing like a saga? Following a team through its full history? I feel like you’d put out a banger

[@Mula_Music]

Ayton is the epitome of the saying "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard."

[@crayoneater1717]

ive been watching every video since awhile ago and love them! btw what the outro song?!

[@xlAlchemYlx]

Dude missed a game because he was “trapped” at his house in a snow storm lmaooo

[@Nr4747]

Ayton over Doncic is still one of the dumbest draft decisions of all time. Edit: Completely forgot that Doncic was drafted 3rd - wild !

[@GuntherBovine]

i say this whenever we talk about deandre ayton, if i had his body, i could put up the numbers he does. what i mean by this is that he does the absolute bare minimum given his physical gifts- i want to emphasize that i fucking suck at the game of basketball and am a 6 foot tall unathletic white dude, so if i could do what he does in his body, that should tell you all you need to know about how much of a work ethic he has

[@Ben-zr4ho]

I mean... Maybe. But if you had Shaqs body and athleticism... You could probably be Shaq. Like where exactly do skill and genetics cross over. Skill IS genetic. Partially. It's also hard work. Shaq worked "hard" but no harder than plenty of other people would have worked given the same opportunities and not as hard as many other people. Few people are Kobe Bryant when it comes to work ethic but there are plenty of Shaqs out there. But Kobe is also a generational athlete. Kind of is what it is. You could make that statement about plenty of pros.

[@chendaddy]

I know people have said this already, but I cannot get over how unfathomably crazy it is that this guy was spending more time on his NBA 2K career than his actual NBA career. My dude, you're living your 2K career. You don't need XBOX!

[@gmon3y46]

Sarver was racist, sexist and cheap…ran off a lot of talent, staff and rings.. do a story on him. It’s wild

[@DIVISIONINCISION]

Sarver let Joe Johnson walk and that started the end of that Nash-led Suns team. That teams should have won at least one chip.

[@KrillData145]

Suns fan here, we loved Ayton in the beginning especially helping us get to the finals. He sadly was just too timid and never seemed happy to be playing the game. To this day i wish we had traded him instead of Mikal to the nets

[@lefti9963]

Haven't watched yet but why post this after he's started to look kinda nice?

[@dFox644]

That’s what I’m saying

[@nonamelegend_vapor]

Getting roasted drives engagement haha

[@Bormannator]

As a pacers fan I am so glad that the Phoenix Suns matched the pacers offer for Ayton. Major bullet dodged

[@dFox644]

Nah u guys would’ve been a much better team with him

[@DIVISIONINCISION]

He would have fit right in on the Pacers. Your whole team doesn't play defense.

[@coreylemmon971]

Bros been balling the last few games

[@relicman]

The last 5 or 6 even.

[@elbolsillo]

It’s that teensy bit of hope that made the Suns wait so long to pull the plug on Ayton. That sliver of potential gets shown. He just doesn’t want it.

[@jamsteroffthewheel4731]

He’s good at padding his stats to keep getting paid

[@Flakbait888]

stat padding for a putrid team

[@Luvmysippi]

He's been doing good. I think we've forgotten that players need a couple of years to develop. No matter how good you start it'll still be a few years before you're at top of your game.

[@Ready4Wednesday]

What's crazy is Ayton has put up consistent stats each year but has shown 0 improvement or drive. I can only imagine how great he could be if he had a motor.

[@logieboy4756]

DA has actually been turning it around a lot recently. Portland had no idea how to italics him at the start of the season, he never got passed the ball and the actions they did run for him were weird. The last month or two he’s been one of the blazers only bright spots

[@dFox644]

THATS WHAT I’m saying,weird time to make a video like this when DA is actually showing that he is the best player on Portland

[@RejectHumanityReturn2Monke]

5:22 The drug isn't called diuretic 😅. A diuretic is a general term for substances that make you pee. Alcohol is a diuretic too.

[@timhall5382]

Good video. I usually am very negative on KZbin videos but this guys videos are usually fantastic. I appreciate his work, not enough to donate money (actually i don't think he even asked me to, i really like him) but enough to leave a thunbs up for sure. 👍

[@mr.pointman1930]

Make how Orlando failed Dwight next. It will be great including of putting Stan Van Gundy and Jameer Nelson costed 2009 title. That will be interesting alongside Lee missed layup.

[@postaltraining]

Ayton is the second coming of mark blount- doesn't give a FFFFF about the game

[@carsonhugill2176]

“A Failure” has been averaging 25 and 14 for about 2 months now okay… 😂

[@Alex-kx6kw]

hes dominating right now. the nbas biggest disappointment is just stupid as well, there has been so many worst busts than him. bad video

[@leonwhitehorse1099]

Suns kept wanting him to set screens and rebound. They didnt want him to be a superstar. They had Booker then got KD then got Beal...and you still expect him to avg 20 and 10 with all that offense on the court...he gets to Portland w Simons, Grant, Scoot all tryna take 20+ shots per game.

[@N4NR969]

Bro posted this then Ayton had 33 and 19💀

[@ashtondownes284]

this is what i came for

[@akusemkhal]

Ayton saw the vid fr

[@jstewlly4747]

What's crazy this dude went first overall in the NBA 2018 draft like the best draft since 03 or 96 like wow this guy out of Luka, Trae, SGA, JJJ, Mikal, Sexton, Brunson, Porter Jr c'mon on bro

[@ionlawrence4401]

The lack of solidarity between the franchises is a massive problem. Many lazy players should be sent to the G-league, but then some idiots(like the Pacers here) decide to gamble 133 million that a player will improve mentally. The fear of the sunk cost fallacy hit Suns, and then he got his payday without performing. EVER.

[@michaelbuto305]

It just another money laundry. Its an inside job.

[@greenwavefitness7545]

props to D.A. for saying the quiet part out loud: the current salary structure makes the second contract so massive & the pressure on the drafting team so high to pay out, that doing just enough to get the max then going to sleep is entirely rational.

[@ivanvillarruz8412]

For his career, he is a 15-18 ppg, 10 rpg center. Definitely not worthy of max salary but more than decent enough to be a starting center in the NBA.

[@kingreg8997]

Right
