Came in to post this...

Everyone who thinks Kwame is wrong for what he did/doing needs to watch this video
Some people wanted kwame to fail from day 1
Nobody wanted him to fail. Definitely not MJ and Doug Collins. They went old school on him and it didn't work. They saw his talent and wanted him to have some drive and determination with it. I don't doubt Kwame had talent, but did he have Tyson Chandlers drive? I don't think so

Ok...


I think I’ll believe the four OG professional players that were there instead of some random nikka online that judges penis sizes :yeshrug:

N1gga what sense does it make to want Kwame to fail? Thats retarded. Mike thought he was going to have ownership in that team. Thats the only reason he even came out of retirement and played for those bums.

Kwame had multiple opportunities, with different teams to prove he could contribute. It wasn't in him to be a great player. Period. I don't think any coach or a different situation coulda changed that. His ceiling was Antonio Mcdyess or Elton Brand. Which woulda been cool. But not all time great.

No need for a paragraph...I’m not gonna read it.

Watching this now. Etan Thomas, Jahidi White, Chris whitney and Tyrone Nesby all discuss Kwame Brown


Kwame Brown was the first high school player drafted number 1 overall in NBA history.

The second is LBJ.

There is a reason the NBA mandated a rule that requires players to spend at least two years in college before going pro.

I fux with Kwame, but nobody is going to stop the drive of a champion. Kwame got content with making a lot of money and just shutting up. I don't think he wanted to be great.
Yeah KG, Kobe & T Mac had to go through similar challenges and people hating on them for being rich Black teenagers. But their talent and work ethic shut everyone up.

One thing thats clear is that the media has been destroying players reputations for a long time. That Washington Post article from 2003 basically painted him as an overgrown simpleton and that was the final word on him until he started speaking for himself...

He should've had more smoke for the PTI crew. Wilbon and Kornheiser would lay into him when he was a teenager. Those 2 always carried the water for MJ and ESPN business interest.

I just listened to Etan Thomas podcast featuring former Wizards players that were there and they disagree with your take.

I think they need some of mama's cookin too. :shaq:

time to forward Kwame some videos. I know he's already kinda shytted on Wilbon, but we need him to bring all the smoke to him too, not just SAS, for shyttin on him.
