Why Tyreke Evans Is Banned From The NBA

[@mj2kallday]

I want to stream, just talk with y'all a lot more, so should I do it on my second channel @MJPLAYSALLDAY or twitch, you let me know Twitter- @MJ2KALLDAY

[@Keyser___Soze]

7:43 You showed FG% not “shot attempts” also his FG% went UP every year not “down”

[@PlayersUnlimited]

If You Know Basketball You Know Tyreke Evans Was The New Age 6’7 PG/Point Forward Prototype

[@billblaski9523]

He should've stayed at PG in the NBA, I don't know why Kings wanted him to switch

[@danv6404]

Except Evans was 6’4”/6’5” 🤦🏻

Tyreke Evans was such a good player with alot of potential Sad to see this happened to him

[@Letthat]

For those who dont believe me TYREKE EVANS HAD A TOP 3 HANDLE IN THE LEAGUE. LOOK UP HIS HANDLES. BEFORE THE KNEE INJURY HE WAS A GREAT DEFENDER TO ADD TO HIS STATS. HE COULD DEFEND SMALL BALL 4s AND ONES WAS ATHLETIC HIS REBOUNDING WAS NATURAL

[@Lublue5]

I feel old now that kids are asking who this player was or was he really that good. 😔

[@spliffsforbreakfast]

The Kings and injuries broke him. The lack of a 3 killed him. Getting banned nailed the coffin.. It’s that simple. No he didn’t need a 3 pointer in the early-mid 2000’s. Eventually that would’ve compromised his career if not the injuries. But the main thing he needed was to play point guard. Being ball dominant isn’t detrimental when you also play defense and you’re the best player on the team. Look what happened his rookie year when he HAD THE BALL. Mans had 4 different coaches in his first 4 years in the league. Then they put him with Isaiah who I love but cmon. Tyreke played point guard his whole life. They fucked his game up.

[@timothymoore2966]

[@poloregal]

Anthony Davis always being hurt in New Orleans didn’t help matters

[@samuelyancy7323]

Sounds like he just had bad luck tbh. Thats why being put in a good situation is important to a player's career and legacy

[@sclom5676]

Dude you gotta stop with saying people are getting banned or blackballed or whatever you decide to call it. He was a ball dominant player who was injury prone and beyond his first couple of seasons there were always people more deserving of the ball. Apart from Isiah Thomas none of the draft picks really messed with him and i highly doubt the kings were expecting their 60th pick to mess with the minutes of the 4th pick. As for the pels he was supposed to start, but he was outplayed in practice and never earned a starting spot. As for now, hes not what teams are looking for in their bottom of the roster players, hes injury prone so he's not the best for covering for injuries, he is old so they don't want to keep him for development, and he isn't a particularly great mentor or locker room presence. There simply isn't a reason for a team to sign him.

[@Himathoy_]

Fr cause he does this every time

[@spliffsforbreakfast]

He was literally damn near six man of the year on the Grizzlies before he got banned for weed. Injuries aside, the Kings are a garbage ass franchise that handled their star rookie horribly. Inconsistent coaching, trash supporting cast, lack of development/faith in any good pick they were lucky to grab. Tyreke was decent in New Orleans but I remember he got injured and he’s not a natural small forward so he wasn’t able to be himself. I remember watching him cook. By no means was he bad in New Orleans.

[@Himathoy_]

People in the music do this crap too. Lose their value then wanna say I'm blackmailed and banned smh

[@sclom5676]

@@spliffsforbreakfast severe difference between he IS banned and he WAS banned. He's allowed to play RN he just isn't good enough. As for new Orleans yeah he wasn't put in the best position but he was in the best position for the team.

Kings are one of the most unluckiest teams with small injuries and some really bad miss managements of talents and that Robinson pick was the worst ever.

[@NothingButDanks]

Don’t forget y’all pass on Luka too 😂

[@lstheprodigy7761]

As a Pelicans fan I definitely enjoyed watching him, this man had so much potential. So sad to see

[@Vandakai]

Feet, Ankles and Knees these types of injuries are WAY more destroying to a person's career/life than people actually know.

[@billblaski9523]

Especially if your job is a basketball player! Only person who comes to mind that was able to overcome surgery on their knees and maintain their high level of play is Amare Stoudemire. On the flip side I'm sure we can name a dozen players who weren't the same after knee surgery: Penny, C-Webb, Brandon Roy etc...

[@billblaski9523]

We all had such high hopes for him. 3 people in history on NBA averaged 20-5-5 in their rookie year: Jordan, Lebron, and Tyreke Evans!

[@mattyboy9588]

3:07 I remember this time it was so much hype around Evans

[@spliffsforbreakfast]

When it comes to basketball, barring a growth spurt, I don’t see too many players who play one position their entire lives and then go pro and switch positions. If anyone has an example I’m open to it 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@mukathompson7490]

I mean technically Tim Duncan, played only c high school and college but played PF cause he was drafted to SA Spurs that had David Robinson

[@Zackaveli]

Kevon Looney for the warriors was a guard all his life. Switched to center when he got to college and the pros and excelled.

[@cappy2282]

Ya i was big fan of Evans coming into league. He was so sweet in college

[@barbaryn7899]

Some guys I know went to middle school with him, and even when he was a 6'6 (i think) middle schooler they said he would only play point guard

[@User-bf7iy]

Once again a banger from mj! I can't really describe how bad I feel for Tyreke Evens. He had the potential of being a top pointguard in the league, but no teams gave him a chance. 😥

[@timothymoore2966]

He was in the program and couldn't resist.

[@adcoleman3624]

Evans was ever in the conversation with Jordan or LeBron lol

[@ninocrown3247]

Tyreke had a wicked handle too. Only guy over 6’5 in that era with a better handle than Tyreke was Jamal Crawford.

[@MrJohnnyklef]

He actually doesn’t answer anything in this video. At the 12:30 Mark he goes on to say that nobody knows what substance he took. Save your time don’t watch this video. 16 minutes long and he talks super slow and gives you zero information about what actually happened. Terrible Clickbait content.

[@Senate9]

he was the reason i stopped hooping. i remember being in middle school and seeing him come to the league... my favorite player was AI and i'm 5'11. seeing him play pg i knew where the league was going. u gotta be at least 6'2-6'3 to be in the league and another 10 years u gonna have to be at least 6'4 to be on the court...

[@mightymallardz768]

Reke is 6'6

[@Crown10027]

It was sad what happened to this young man. I trust he is ok.

[@ScottySkilz1]

if Tyreke could just shoot from the jump his situation would have been way different, because he had everything else: defense, drives, handles, and passing. Bro, yes the Kings were bad for 12+ years but the subtle jabs at the the Kings just got you a thumbs down.

[@tylerbox7867]

Tyrese situation is a travesty the nba will keep a guy like Ben Simmons around forever and he doesn't even want to play

[@kuhieyei3855]

Ben Simmons is actually good and exciting to watch lol.

[@billblaski9523]

Lol dawg Tyreke got busted for testing positive for coke, which is a big NO-NO in NBA. Ben Simmons might be wack, but he's always been clean so he'll have a spot on some team

[@smartassname9981]

Marcus Thornton was traded from New Orleans to sac. He wasn’t drafted by them

[@ruby918.]

Im not even a fan of the nba but ove your vids thats impressive af

[@brendanl.6220]

I think he just never ended up on the right team. If the kings used him better then it might’ve worked out same w if he was drafted to a different team. Unfortunately at this point teams don’t wanna risk it with an injury prone 32 year old who has to start at pg to be successful.

[@lonnellgrigsby1367]

Some players are just worthless without making love to the Basketball. He was no exception with health problems and bad decisions off the court.

[@larryfesh6185]

He made a fan his rookie year, he was balling

[@MisterMultiKill]

So he isn’t banned this is just a repetitive half effort tyreek evans documentary we wouldn’t click on unless you lie

[@therockerninja]

10 plus years in the league he did ight. On a side note though Evans was really talented imo, it’s just that when certain teams get star players they fucked them up and throw them away LOTS OF TEAMS HAVE AND STILL DO IT.

[@tobiaswilson7114]

you talked about the Kings being in a rush to find the perfect piece with Cousins. wasn't it also around that time where there were talks about the team being moved to Seattle or something? Maybe the front office was pressured by that so they tried to find a good piece with Cousins to make the team relevant again? just my theory lol

[@LetMeOutProductions]

Bruh, the Kings didn't intentionally sabotage his career. I covered this team in the locker room for nearly 10 years. Marcus wasn't drafted by the Kings, and neither him or Jimmer played point guard. The team needed off-the-ball shooters. Reke got hurt and fell off a bit, as you mentioned, but the reality is the owners of the team were trying to move the franchise, and had sabotaged the entire business side of it. Everybody suffered. DeMarcus, Jimmer, Thomas Robinson... everybody. Also... Isaiah Thomas was objectively a better player. The only thing Reke had on him was defense, as Reke was pretty stellar on the ball. IT surprised everybody. Had the Kings kept Mike Malone, they would have been a playoff team with Boogie, IT, and Rudy Gay.

[@brysonmcknight2296]

[@TheEzwider88]

I thought that was Lance Stephenson from the thumbnail lol

[@matthewyip8695]

Tyreke was a talented playmaking point guard that got to the basket and used his large frame to bully other smaller guards inside. The Kings really screwed up tyreke by putting him as a SF. That was game over because he really was not a good three point threat. King's management was so bad at this time until just last year.

[@itsjwall]

🧢

[@GRABA85]

Steph had 47%2PT and 44% 3PT while Tyreke had 48%2Pt and 25% 3PT. Tyreke had 1 more REB per game and AST were basically the same. Steph was better even then.

[@richardstevens3114]

Sacramento didn't "intentionally" derail his career. They changed his position but it didn't work. Tyreke was injury prone and he is the one who got himself suspended for drug use. I doubt he's been "blacklisted" from the Nba. No team wants a 32 year old player two years removed from the NBA who shoots 37 percent in the G-league.

[@101noz101]

He was only in those discussions with Jordan, LeBron and Oscar because of his rookie numbers but he also got there stat padding on a terrible Kings team.
