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.

Which is fair. Thats who clowned him. Kwame gotta stop saying he was some 18 year old getting talked about by SAS. He didnt even have that platform during that time.

Kwame was 24 struggling on a team with KOBE. More eyes, more attention and thats what opened things up for SAS to clown him. Kwame is combining everything said about him and not giving the real timeline. Im good with him ripping SAS just keep it real about how old you were.

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...

But off course, all his vitriol is directed towards the Negro help. Typical

Props for both of these although the second is from 2010 since he's talking about the Heat's Big 3. Regardless both just show how at multiple points in history that that man's dikk has been in SAS mouth.

I don't get responding to him and I'm not subscribing to ESPN+ and watching his little show to find out either, you done talked the guy about for so long, it's only fair game for him to get his shyt off.

And that's where all this shyt take a turn, it's almost like those in the media are saying "We can say __, ___, ___, who do you think you are talking back to us?!" like they're more important than the players, former or current. We already saw their value when the pandemic locked everything down, by day 3 ESPN literally had dry wall competitions running at noon.

That same attitude made Amin feel comfortable calling De'Aaron Fox a bytch, so it ain't just SAS. It's a problem with how the system's set up and if you get aggressive with them, they'll use the platform to bury you on live TV and if you got physical with one you'd probably have to deal with Mickey's lawyers. shyt's fukked up.

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.

You must be in denial if you think not only Kwame, but his own TEAMMATES are lying. You clearly do not know the backstory know listened to what they were saying. You basically going off false assumption.

The truth was that MJ was wanting to draft Kwame to use as a trading block. The OWNER reneged on MJ's decision to trade and therefore MJ was stuck with Kwame. MJ never wanted him. But that's not the bigger issue. The bigger issue was MJ bringing in Doug Collins. Doug Collins was the WORST COACH to mentor a then 18-19 year old teenager. Doug Collins was merely MJ's "yes man" and did whatever MJ told him to do and use Kwame as the scapegoat of blame for any and everything that goes bad with he Wizards so MJ wouldn't be held accountable. MJ also had the media give partiality and favoritism towards him, so whenever the Wizards are playing bad, he's not to blame.... so who else is there to blame? Kwame the number one draft choice not so-called living up to expectations.

MJ and Doug Collins NEVER wanted Kwame and MJ never meant to KEEP Kwame to begin with, only to use as a trade. Because the owner overruled MJ's decision, MJ had beef with the ownership. This is also the reason why MJ was immediately FIRED as GM after his final retirement on the court.
