Terrible Career Mistakes that changed the outcome of the Player Trajectory or Impact

[Phantum]

Saquon Barkley not taking the multi year contract from the Giants

As much as I hate what is going on now in the copycat clown NFL with RBs Saquon made a big mistake

NO other team is gonna meet his price.

Saquon has to have a historic legendary season in order to get the contract he wants now

I’m talkin 2,000 yards, 30 TDs type shyt and even then they gonna be like you have too much tread on those tires

He’s fukked in my opinion.

Saquon could run for 8000 yards and he'd still have to beg for money, they'd just use the excuse he's too worn out.

He got injured in other shoes but he and other other brothers shouldve stuck with Lavar and built that brand.

The amount of energy they had with the kid/teens could've easily had them become a wholesaler for a ton of these no name high schools for all kinds of sports uniforms and shyt. Not every school is getting a Nike deal or anything close to it. BBB needed stronger designs, reachable price point and someone in the wholesale game to work these schools into an apparel deal.

Then do little sub brands for the sons and jack up the price.

You just did all that typing and missed the part that they really needed to do......... MAKE BETER SHOES!!

Nobody was wholesaling them pieces of shyt that fell apart several times a game... And not for $450 dollars either. So imagine if they had to actually do some Reseach & Design, then actually pay for the needed upgrades, then turn around and sell them. The price would go UP!!

Nah... Lavar got them to the NBA but he fukked up hundreds of millions in endorsements and exposure for Lonzo with that bullshyt

All those NBA players that got that microfracture surgery. Penny, Tmac, Allan Houston, Terrell Brandon, C-Webb.... all of them never fully recovered. Only J Kidd and Amare looked like themselves after that shyt. Whoever invented that surgery should get sued for a billi.

Stoudemire’s knees turned to dust 5 years later anyway. He was cooked at the age of 29. Went from a guy who could go toe to toe with Tim Duncan & Pau Gasol deep in the playoffs to barely able to get minutes or even get cleared to play

This video explains pretty well what the issues were with microfracture surgery
Basically, over time it became obvious it wasn't a long term solution and was more like a band aid so that's why it's not used anymore.
But the surgery itself wasn't really the problem it was the fact those guys had damaged cartilage in the first place. It's a very difficult problem to solve and basically once it gets bad it's like a ticking time bomb
You see it right now with Lonzo, which is why they're doing some experimental shyt and just praying he has any chance of coming back
