He was the number one victim of the NBA's change of game.

[@eamparbeng]

Well he was a very lumbering, slow footed center. And though he had the rebounding, defensive skills along with the physical strength of traditional big men, Roy Hibbert had no jumpshot. And while he was a focal point on those early 2010s Pacers teams, the years 2013-2015 was when we saw the rise of the stretch-five especially with Steph Curry making so many three pointers on high efficiency. And when the Warriors proved that small ball can win a title, NBA scouts started demanding that big men need to be mobile along with their offensive and defensive skills. Just look at guys like Giannis, Joel, and Serge Ibaka. Not only are they big and strong, but they are mobile and have decent jumpshots. Even Blake Griffin averaged 36% from 3 in Detroit.

[@Nootasaur]

It wasn’t working, they were 24-15 in the games Roberson played in, he played in 39 games and the Thunder finished with a 48-34 record, they probably would of gotten 1 or 2 extra wins with Roberson but they still wouldn’t of gone anywhere in the Playoffs. On paper, their team record and player stats looked great but their chemistry was horrible, the only reason they won so many games was because they had 3 great players on a team but their chemistry was still shit so come playoff time it would account to nothing. 21 of their 48 wins came against playoff teams which means 27 of their wins were just against teams who shouldn’t even compete with them. 19 of their 34 losses also came from playoff teams which means they couldn’t compete with the top tier teams and were only beating the easier teams. Now look at the games Roberson played in and who they won and lost to. 19 of those 36 games were against playoff teams and in those games they won 12 of them and lost 7 of them. Being barely above 500 Against playoff teams isn’t good enough to be a contender, not to mention only 2 of those wins are against a top 4 seed in each conference

To be fair to Faried, he was improved in his short stint in Houston. He improved his defence and shot 35% from 3. I think he still has it in him to be a decent small ball 5 in the NBA right now. I think it has more to do with his age and teams wanting a younger player

In terms of Roy Hibbert, there are rumours that Paul George picked up his girl and he lost his motivation (dunno details).

[@bigdave9188]

That's kind of a dumb excuse though

[@swelly84]

I think that could be some truth. He lost focus in basketball that first year he was traded to Lakers. He stopped training as hard and got out of shape probly cause he was depressed from it.

[@phillipgoat00]

I think that was not true according to reports but idk. Hibbert had one good year in 2013 and that was it.

Maybe you have already done a video on this, but would like to see you do a video on players that were late bloomers. Like former lottery picks that people thought were busts or late picks that took some time to develop and turned into solid players and maybe made an all star team after the age of 25 or so.

And this is the reason why I would get an education on how money works (economics) and how to save,spend, budget, and grow it (finance) so that if I have a fallout like these guys, I'm at least financially set for the rest of my life. And you don't always need to go to college to study economics and finance when there are web seminars of actual professors teaching this stuff.

Budgeting is a game changer. When I started budgeting over a year ago, I went from living paycheck to paycheck to having a stable bank account and a month or two of emergency funds. Financial education is highly underrated

I got a few of them myself not mention. OJ Mayo, Brandon Jennings which whom you actually mention in the video, Gerald Wallace, Antawn Walker, Antawn Jamison, and Agent Zero Gilbert Arenas.

Why did you stop using lists at the end of the video? Those were the best. Really helped me compare and rank for myself.

[@forthemenofculture3311]

I can compare Faried to Darius Miles, the athleticism, quickness but he's too small and can't shoot. And I feel bat for IT, he's been a great and humble point guard until Kyrie ruined his career.
