LBJ-era "superstars" are unlikeable.

[@duffman4655]

I think when they start they are likeable, like Zion, Ja, Simmons, Ant, it's when they're blinded by max contracts and getting paid off their "potential" that I find their character is revealed, all of the sudden Zion can't put down the fork, Ja can't put down his toy gun, Simmons has the yips and can't shoot anymore, Ant has recently I felt been more arrogant but he's still got a work ethic and passion to an extent but the disrespect to past generations is certainly unlikeable now. I still enjoy Jokic cause he's putting in the work 100%, my only downside to Jokic's work ethic is that it's literally work to him and he doesn't have a passion for the game like others which is a weird and I suppose refreshing take on playing in the NBA which has been really diving into Business and Entertainment and not professional sport.

For the NBA they just "file" a report of "injury" and then they can classify it as questionable, out indefinitely, probable etc and most likely is a fake report to then choose to play or not.

These dudes aren't stronger, faster, bigger or better at anything today. Please stop telling that lie because it isn't true. The three most athletic players ever were Wilt, Russell and Jordan. Russell and Wilt were track stars in college. Wilt was the only player that ever benched 500 or more that ever played in the NBA. Go do some research on the 90's the weight lifting decade. Earl Boykins at 5'5" and 135 lbs benched 350. Avery Johnson at 5'11" and 185 lbs benched 400. Robert Pack at 6'2" and 185 to 190 lbs benched 400. These were all confirmed by trainers and teammates. I don't think any big man in the current game could do that and those were little guys. These players aren't more skilled because hardly no one has post or midrange with carrying and traveling allowed. All they do is shoot 35 footers.

@@369pendulum I blame the fans for that. Young fans don’t know any better I guess so they still buy these expensive tickets (well their parents do anyway ha) and so money still comes in. Not nearly what it could be if they put a better product out on the court…but enough to pay these entitled athletes anyway. Is what it is….unfortunately I don’t see it changing. Hopefully I’m wrong. I always kinda wondered if lebron retires id they’ll start allowing a little more defense to be played again. I’m sure never what it was in the 89s/90’s but I get that that was a little much. But they gotta allow the game to be a little more physical. If they’re gonna allow them to carry and travel to look more skilled the least they could do is force them to do it against some actual defense. I think that would bring a lot of fans back to the game. I’m not a WNBa fan personally but I’ve been watching a bit more this year..and have watched each of the first 4 finals games so far between the liberty and lynx. And man their defense is far more entertaining. They let them be physical and it’s so. Much better to watch. And they don’t just chuck up 3’s like you said. It’s refreshing.

Money has ruined professional sports

[@drazangagula7633]

I find it incomprehensible that a player can decide not to play. That decision lies with the coach, and only the player's health can justify not playing. In Europe, if the coach tells you to play, you play. If you don't listen, you're out of the club; if you slack off, you're out of the club. You can be a star as much as you want, but if I paid you to play, then you'll play, or you're out of the club.

[@noname-nc9jv]

its nice and epic the transition from kobe to lequeen while the narrator says "and below that..." so funny and so real

[@ProgressiveTruthSeekers]

Great commentary!

[@chrisbg99]

I'm sure in his career of playing 98.5 percent of his possible games throughout his entire career, John Stockton was dealing with nagging injuries that he probably could have taken a game off but I bet you those 4 games he missed in 89 and 18 he missed in 97 killed him.

[@XZAVIER-DAA-GOD]

Joel has never recovered from kawhi's shot

[@sfrank8687]

Me neither

[@tntcrewEJ]

From a person whose father is developing dementia and can barely walk from playing in the NFL and Arena Football for 13 years, I wish they had guardians caps in the old league. I wish he could’ve taken days off. I would give every penny back and more to have my dad be healthy and able. It’s so easy to call someone soft when you’ve never experienced it.

[@fishseafood8663]

I bet your father wouldn’t change it

[@TianDogg]

I really hope this next generation of stars will make it about competition and winning again, not building their brands and hawking their shitty podcasts.

[@elmosbongwater5009]

Super entertaining content man, love it.

[@cuonghuynh3651]

Thank goodness for the new wave of stars coming up. The 2010 stars were awful outside of the big 3.

[@ChiRusNkFUSA]

It’s the fault of The NBA for giving them too much money!!! And the fans needs o stop valuing them!!!

[@PhilMilkenson]

From the Olympics, it appeared wemby is already better. He had big impact. Interested to watch him this year. Olympics also confirmed again that jokic can play and makes people better. Lebron still chokes late in games, steph can still hit big shots.

[@SamUHells]

5:30 Joel embiid is arguably the most criticized player in the game rn, that statement is just inaccurate lol

[@Goldenj360]

He gets criticism from actual basketball fans but not much from the media. The media as a whole has really stopped criticizing all players in recent years. Now they want to be buddy buddy with the players.

[@blurplebear8573]

The last true series of real basketball was Spurs Pistons. That was basketball that combined skill and physicality. Wembanyama better be happy the league is soft cause a 7'4" 210 pound guy would not last 6 months 25 years ago.

[@infasis]

It's funny watching Embiid struggle against guys like aging Brook Lopez. Him playing in the era where big men like Hakeem, Robinson, Shaq, Mourning, Ewing, Mutombo, etc were all over the league would've been crazy.

[@The-Dom]

Nobody will ever mention Embids again after he retires. goat convo is a joke.

[@AndreasElser-v3s]

You got the point! The rookies too, before they play a game already millionaire it's.. . But Embiid and Co were really too soft.. The contracts were so big but they do and less and less for it! The NBA now have so much talent but unfortunately in the past the players and the game was more tough. It's even more sad cause I never saw a eara in any league either where you got so much teams with so much amazing players like the western where ten teams were so exciting and could be contender in every other time.

[@SarcasticSloth69]

uh oh, this might not get you as much views. Guess you’re gonna have to milk Bronny content more for that easy 100k+ views 😂

[@Alwayspositiveprofits]

And Adam Silver doing nothing but enabling the coddling and laziness. I remember players playing with broken fingers, broken noses, the flu, dislocated shoulders, etc. Now you have players like Lebron, who gets lightly tapped on the finger, falls down, and lays on the floor for 35 minutes and then gets wheeled out on a stretcher......Dude is built, but that took him out? Is he tough like he wants us to believe? Or does every little touch sit him on the bench for 3 games?

[@bos3835]

He's a pathetic flopper.

[@leesmith3238]

The problem is most of these players just in it for money not so much for the love of the game like kd he switched teams of few times but he tried to play with one of the worst injuries you can have

[@LegalLatinoHeat]

The 76ers and Clippers are the best organizations for load management players.

[@Andrew-ly6yf]

This era really makes me feel like it’s the WWF, everything is for show nothing is real.

[@tylerriley2587]

This video is nothing but the truth. Most players don't get rid of the ego to win a championship before they pass their primes, and in the end, it's too late.

[@ДаниелКаменаров-т4ю]

Bunch of entitled divas. It is what it is. They shouldn't have ANY right to complain because they are some of the most privileged people in the world. Getting millions to play a game.

[@jacksondolly3248]

To put it into perspective, the average superstar gets about 35 minutes a game, some more, some less. Even if they played all 82 games at 35 minutes, that's roughly 41 hours. And there are so few players that play all 82 games, that they actually play probably closer to 35 hrs. So......8 months to do a week's worth of work; barely making full time hours or nice part time work hours. All with a way too small court, ample breaks like every 3 minutes or less, unlimited subs, and a relatively non contact sport. How these "professional athletes" can get tired, or injured like, at all, is absolutely insane. And that's beside the problem of that they really don't want to even play. They just want the money and fame. Of all the team sports out there, it's definitely one of the lamest, and these pros nowadays are an absolute joke.

[@benjaminhodick5754]

These players today just have zero respect They are Way too cocky for putting out such a terrible product

[@bos3835]

They're part of the only two entitled generations ever.

[@suiken3149]

And this is why guys like Tatum should get more respect because he's one of the sturdiest superstar today. playing more than 70 games in the season

[@Jgoluvs]

I hate when people fully blame the players, last i checked everyone who works has a boss. That boss and league hold the standard so if anything most of the blame should go towards the league itself for getting soft themselves

[@THE_BEAR_JEW]

I'm just glad even the younger generations of fans is starting to see how bad it has gotten. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for sitting out for legit injuries, but there's a reasonable medium between playing injured and playing with minor pain.

[@ianweir3608]

Wemby has both a perfect mind and frame for basketball. God keep this man healthy, he's chosen to be Wilt come again. I wouldn't be shocked if Wemby actually dropped 100 in a few years. With everyone and their dog scoring 70+ recently it's not unthinkable

[@Avofan]

This past 15 years(ish) has been the softest era for in NBA history.

[@cjc2010]

Embiid got a false MVP because he cried and blubbered about it. Meanwhile champion ironman Tatum gets hate for being corny. This is the media and fanbase we’re dealing with here.

[@TheGoldKing]

And the defense of Andre Drummond he has a valid point. In passed eras when they valued defense and rebounding we will hold him to a higher standard but because the prototypical big man has been phased out the game he doesn't get the love he deserves

[@bceltics121]

He might be the best rebounder in the NBA right now.

[@patientzero291]

After taking the extension players like Kawhi and Embiid are out from the start of the season and other don't like playing back to back.

[@YoungBoss212]

Uncut Yo keep defending the vets the ol skool Bro 👍🏾 we appreciate it.

[@tpsam]

Great vid!

[@FavreianVengeance]

Joel Embiid is Roy Hibbert in the 90's.

[@urbaindelva7869]

Really? Name one time that Roy Hibbert displayed anything close to the ability that Embiid has displayed. If you wanna argue that Embiid wouldn't be a superstar, fine. But he would be Roy Hibbert in the 90s? Stop it. All of a sudden, he would just be big with no actual game just because he plays in the 90s? How does that work?

[@BlackRB21]

Dude Roy Hibbart was drafted in 2008

[@jansmitowiczauthor78]

​@@BlackRB214:02

[@theinktician]

Roy Hibbert wasn't that bad. He just had mental issues. Better defender than Embiid too

[@FavreianVengeance]

@@theinktician Joel Embiid has mental issues too.

[@carboy101]

I think guaranteed contract are ruining NBA basketball. Kawhi, Embiid, PG, Harden, Kyrie, Ball Brothers, etc. If you can’t show up, you shouldn’t get paid at all.

[@duffman4655]

MJ mentioned this in 2005 on the Oprah show, it was great insight to how kids now get paid on potential, they get paid millions of dollars on day 1, and according to him it sets a bad work ethic. I loved that interview cause it's been accurate regarding today's NBA

[@saiyajinbeard]

While Kobe was still playing his last two years the league was already Charmin soft. Now they wear mandatory goggles in the locker room while spraying champagne on each other

[@kyleIAB]

Andre Drummond is one of the greatest rebounders of all time btw

[@servercannell5853]

There is no G.O.A.T conversation. + Love Wemby, but he sounds like Dave Chappelle's impression of Dylan. He spits hot fire.

[@TonySmooth678]

The NBA is going to go out of business if these players keep taking games off

[@Haseo92]

The worst part is Larry Bird recently defending this generation of players, like he doesn't know they take a crazy amount of days off he never got

[@tendousouji14344]

uncut hoops in which video again you did the mj last shot in utah sounds but the missed 3pt shot of lbj?

[@spoodyR3]

Mchale just went up on my ranking dude just loved to hoop that’s crazy compared to now

[@bigbruno594]

If ur both injury prone, a superstar player and ur willing to play every game against other superstar teams, i can understand wanting to sit out against a team that you know the other players on your team can beat for the sake of having a better chance of being healthy in the playoffs but missing games for the sake of missing games, grow up.

[@Jaydub07]

He did make it known in his rookie year and many times he likes soccer and was a soccer player first but then a basketball coach wanted him so he just took it because it was a opportunity for a better life

[@davideaston8314]

LeSoft has played just ONE full 82 game season in his entire 20+ year career!! 🤯

[@TouchToneDSG]

So was this a Joel Embiid video then?

[@trogdor8942]

Andre Drummond does have the sixth most rebounding titles of all time and the 14th highest rebounding average of all time. He's no that good at anything else, but he is a good rebounder.

[@skyMcWeeds]

NBA players now are a bunch of divas no love for the game its all about the bag, no care for the fans

[@Psiros]

It really is a social media thing. Immediate praise has become a standard (for all ages unfortunately). Now, we are just seeing it manifesting in the pro leagues.

[@FabioYerbetti]

Drummond is one of the best rebounders ever, though

[@FYNGAMERHD]

The message to players like Embiid and the majority of modern NBA players is simple “Shut Up And Dribble”
