As soon as he gives back the 40mill he stole from NYK for posing as a legit PG.

 

[M. Fresh]

kwame is a def of a bust

branden wright

sean may's fat self

marvin williams 50/50

hate to say it but bassy is a bust imo

I really cant call guys with major injuries bust bc some never really got the chance to play at full strength, ex livingston, maybe oden

I know that GM lost soooooooo much sleep over that pick years down the line. 3 of the greatest EVER.

 

[tommykairaa]

i wouldn't say curry was a bust.. i mean he had a a few legit seasons

dude just got fat and #+%*

& cmon you guys forgot about darko

 

[aldaddy]

Sean Mays, Patrick o'Bryant, Kwame, Darko, Ike Diogu, Adam Morrison, Shaun Livingston but only bc of that Nasty acl injury

 

[RyGuy45]

And they beauty of it is these dudes listed stole money from the NBA fan.

Eddie Curry did a couple things here and there but dude has already made 57 mil

  With $11 million more coming to him next year

Stephon Marbury we all got varying opinions on but at the end of the day that dude walked out of the NBA at age of 32 having made $150 mil

It's these idiot GMs though. I know.

BIG MIKE SWEETNEY
Tyrus Thomas
Shelden Williams

I CAN GO ALL NIGHT!

This is the kind of list I agree with wholeheartedly..  Especially Tyrus Thomas

and also Add Sebastian Telfair to ANY LIST!
Had so many arguments b/c Peeps thought he'd be a better pick than Jameer Nelson..

 

[drop knee 101]

would someone please correctly identify what a "bust" is?

does injury put a player in that category or does he have to be healthy and just flat out suck?

just one example but J Williams being called a bust, to me, sounds unfair.

 

[filthymcnasty]

JJ Redick, Darius Miles, Len Bias R.I.P, Stevie Franchise

 

[torotrigger]

kinda laughing at the Len Bias comment - it works....

the Kandiman

 

[23nokaoi]

Busts:
Ed O'Bannon
Shawn Bradley
Chris Washburn
Shawn Respert
Tractor Traylor
J.R. Reid
Rodney White
Trajan Langdon
Nikoloz Tskitishvili
Kwame Brown
Courtney Alexander
Samaki Walker
Michael Olowokandi

 

[torotrigger]

BTW - anyone else read and think Lesbian when they see Len Bias...or is it just me?

[im not you]

Dudes was saying May should have been the #1 pick on here after that championship...I remember that +@%# vividly

 

[daprescription]

I really don't understand how Brandan Wright is considered a bust. His offensive and defensive game were looking really good before he dislocated his shoulder last season. It's not like he has problems that are going to alter his career like Oden. He should be a double double guy next year.

Most European players that have been drafted in the last 10 years

Do you even watch basketball?

Or do you just skim through it?

LO- pretty much a guaranteed double-double every night!
JR Smith- Can drop 20-30 instantly off the bench
flip- Second round pick? Dude is solid.

You do not know basketball all, hell even bassy is a solid backup pg on the Clippers.

 

[statis22]

Leave Ndudi Ebi alone
