Unwanted: Why Juancho Hernangomez's NBA Career Fell Apart

Juancho Hernangomez's NBA journey has come to a halt. After 350 games spanning seven years, this basketball wanderer is bidding farewell to the grand stage and returning to the familiar courts of Europe. But before he embarks on his new adventure, let's delve into the story of why Juancho's NBA career turned out to be a bust.

[@MrKelvin10]

Playing for 7 years in the NBA is not a bust

[@ayinxx16]

Thats what i thought

[@johndong7524]

Getting kicked out of NBA at only 28 years old is a bust.

[@JoyMadrugada]

@@johndong7524 oh well he took Euroleague the second strongest cup

[@johndong7524]

@@JoyMadrugada Maybe, but he was too young to retire from the NBA, which can only mean one thing, he wasn't cutting it there any longer.

[@JoyMadrugada]

@@johndong7524 At any case some players arent for NBA and some others arent for Europe (ps google celebrations of Hernagomez with Panathinaikos Champion cup and watch what i am talking about )

[@vaportibaby]

this is the problem with people who only look at stats. did yall even watch his raptors games when all the starters were injured? juancho was starting regularly and was commended all the time about being great at cutting and then when everyone was back from their injury he was still starting but barnes and all the usual starters were having a tantrum about being outshined and not getting their usual minutes, so juancho being his unselfish-self seemed to have stepped aside and was forced to not outplay those selfish player crybabies. imo raptors killed juancho's confidence, he was supposed to be on fire after eurobasket. an nba team with a team playing system needs to give him another chance instead of teams with coaches like nick nurse who doesn't even have a bench mob and just exhausts their starters for 40mins a game.

[@edmontoncouple1562]

Raptors? ah...the shitty team that kawhi dump. when KL was trade to the raps everyone cried foul specially lousy lowry but when KL reeled them to the top everyone including the fans want to lick his balls.

[@NoahBrwn]

He can shine in more team oriented systen like the Spurs or the Warriors

[@GHOSTY.__]

Playing 7 years in the NBA is no where close to being a “bust” and the fact he’s still balling too. Sure he’s not a NBA player but his career is far from over.

[@matthewsaltnlight3882]

Hey i thought adam sandler fixed this dude's issues?

[@imjusthimfrfr]

I dont watch basketball but once i saw that this was the guy that played as Bo i searched him up immediately 😂

[@thatvocalmaster4676]

That’s js a movie Adam Sandler didn’t literally help him

[@ChristopherFoley-10738]

Same. Just kidding.

[@2Beasty]

Yeah, but when he got into the league he was on a different team

[@kyzuiwanabe]

Yeah no shit​@@thatvocalmaster4676

[@schm0sbyy]

NBA play style doesn't suit him much like other Euro league stars. That doesn't mean he's not as skilled as NBA players but the NBA is still a business and prioritizes the entertaining level of play than effective plays.

[@vamoneygroup]

NBA isnt basketball

[@AllainLuy]

Lol, "his play style doesn't suit him?" What are you talking about? He is a skilled player the one thing in the NBA problem is their fçkn business their not aiming for the skilled players they're just aiming for the money.

[@schm0sbyy]

@@AllainLuy read my comment again lmao

[@nicolasmenendezsarries6786]

In this kind of analysis no one ever mentions the Big dinosaur inside the room. There is always a gap between american and foreign players. There is an overall mistreatment that underestimates european players. The same for Jokic, for Fournier or Hernangómez.

[@relykremok1225]

boohoo look at Asians or how they treated Jeremy Lin, JK about the boohoo yeah you're right they're biased towards their own and discriminates others

[@ozz7602]

​@@relykremok1225teams figured him out and all he end up being was a below average speed/slashing combo guard with a broke jumpsuit, you aren't lasting in the league with that combo.

[@huipenta_chongz5291]

He got bullied after commenting about Celtics and struggle to find a team that would welcome him. Coaches of teams he'd been into, lessen his playing minutes per game. I mean, Hernangomez is obviously very good player but who would score and show stats in just 5 minute play? The least was even 4 minutes, that's absurd. Obviously deliberate.

[@kevind4606]

Jokic would love to have him back in Denver so they could play Fifa and hangout. He would not be that helpful in terms of basketball but may help keep Jokic in good spirits. He and Jok had pretty good chemistry. For whatever reason when I went and saw a Nuggets game during that time we would A) Lose and B) Juancho would have a good game.

[@EuroHeroes]

Yeah, Juancho said that Jokic was his best friend with the Nuggets

[@giorgosgrillakis8630]

He is coming to Panathinaikos B.C to win the Euroleague.. 🎉🎉❤❤n❤

[@timometsanoja9666]

I don't know the numbers exactly, but I think you can count the players that have come back to the NBA after a season or more overseas with one hand... If there are any. Once you are out you are out and there is no going back. There is someone better and younger in your place already and the teams are not looking for old players to fill their rosters.

[@baronceli]

Joey Dorsey, Damien Wilkings, Sergio Rodríguez, PJ Tucker, Bobby Brown and Anthony Parker.

[@themountain59]

He certainly will stay longer in Spain or Greece..better weather,food,beer,girls,money...what's not to like. And lets be completely honest...the NBA isn't the basketball pinnacle anymore 😉

[@EuroHeroes]

He actually went to Greece and signed with Panathinaikos. It happened a couple of days ago.

[@baronceli]

Ah, the hater of shallow jokes thinking he's better than everybody.

[@vindigregorio6697]

I still don't understand how or why he went through 7 teams in 6yrs.

[@EuroHeroes]

Especially the fact that after leaving the Nuggets in 2020 he had 5 teams. Obivously couldn't find a fit. Maybe teams hoped too much from him?

[@Popunkwillneverdie]

You should have signed with Allen Iversons team
