That Hornets team was horrifically bad, and it wasn't because of him. He actually had some flashes of great play during the season (12 20+ point games and a 30 point game), which wasn't terrible for a rookie, especially in that era of slower paced/lower scoring ball. But his career was effectively ended by that knee injury before his second season, and you have to wonder if his diabetes made it impossible to fully recover from it.

I really wish we would've gotten to see Morrison's sophomore season without the injury. IIRC he was averaging like 15-16 ppg his rookie season but then fell off after the 2nd half. Part of the issue might have been adjusting to the pace/rigor of an NBA season as a diabetic. He couldn't really afford to lose any athleticism and it also likely recked his confidence. Kobe seemed to like the guy and while he might've just been trying to be nice it sounded like Ammo played better at practice.

Look, whether he brushed his teeth or washed his ass means nothing. The problem with Adam was he was listed as a small/power forward at 6’8 205 tops. He was playing against other smalls like Paul George, Paul Pierce, Carmelo Anthony who are 6’7 to 6’9 245 average. Power forwards like Kevin Love Dirk Noviski (excuse my spelling) who are 6’11 245 if not more. Adam was too small got pushed around and played out of position. He should’ve been a 2 guard.

Plus Adam Morrison couldn't play good defense that's why he was not as successful in NBA but was a dangerous offensive scorer

[@shawnstarks1743]

@@geno1825 True, that’s why his narrow ass should’ve been a two. (Focus on the scoring) Who’s the skinny Caucasian kid plays center He’s like 7’ feet and 180) ?Went top 5 in this years draft. Broke his foot in training camp. Didn’t play at all. He might be a bust.

He didn’t shower so people wouldn’t want to guard him. When he was forced to shower he sucked

Always heard this guy's name but never really knew much about him. Thanks for really doing the research and telling his story in such a intriguing way. Your views are always fair too. Keep it up.

Total NBA earnings of 16million, i'm sure his 4 year "failure" feels pretty comfortable.

[@porterwake3898]

Was expected to be a super scorer, when he should have been a role player. Same thing happened to Jimmer Fredette. He could have filled a role.

[@alkers372]

By most accounts he is a weird dude, but he was 2nd or 3rd pick in the draft as i recall. so got a nice initial contract ($16m). Averaged around 12ppg his first year, then blew out his knee. He was never the same after that. He was smart enough however to wisely invest most of his earnings so is living a very comfortable life of leisure in Eastern Washington and will never have to work another day in his life. Has two championship rings to boot, and will even get NBA pension as well.

[@mitchwheeler2233]

Great video! I've always thought if he had come into the league a decade later and found a better fit, a guy his size who could shoot could easily find the floor on a good team's bench. I also think he just didn't have enough life experience or maturity for when he entered the NBA. Spokane is a super white town. Like you said, he had never left i, clearly had some personal hurdles to get through with not showering and just likely did not fit in much. That being said, had he not got injured, it sounded like he matured a lot. He was one of the few teammates Kobe really respected because of his work ethic, he just didn't have enough after his injury.

[@raphael9783]

I saw Morrison and knew he'd be a bust. He was too slow and couldn't guard 2's or 3s.

[@raphael9783]

@Tee Ohbee not true at all. I can always admit when I'm wrong and apologize. I'm not someone bent on ego. For example, if you look in the right places, you'd see I was wrong on both Trey Young and Luka, I still don't know how Luka is so good. He's slow and unathletic, but he gets it done. I was wrong about Blake Griffen. I thought he was a glorified stromile swift (y'all probably don't know him), wrong about Darius Miles, wrong about Steph Curry, I was initially wrong about Ben Simmons, and now I'm right.

[@Beenitfr]

2006 draft class was the shit with no injuries causal

[@moneymitchmcclure]

You could've added the part where he took one last shot at making an NBA roster and cooked the summer league on the Clippers roster and got a camp invite for the Blazers. Then got cut and said that was his last shot and was retiring

[@matthewritchens1023]

No doubt. Man averaged 25 plus points a game in summer league. Should have got a shot tbh.
