What Happened To SHABAZZ NAPIER? The NEXT KEMBA! Stunted Growth
Vložit

- When Kemba Walker went on that unbelievable run to end his senior season and hall of honor career at UCONN, winning five games in five days in the big east tournament as the 9th seed coming in, claiming the title before performing even more magic in the NCAA tournament, winning 6 games in a row, capturing his 1st and only national championship, there was a freshman backup point guard named Shabazz Napier low key catching the eyes of many. I know for sure I was slowly becoming glued to his process, with high hopes because I had huge respect for his game. Never could there be a second coming of Walker, and never could that story play out almost identically impressive by the time Napier was ready to walk out the door after 4 years at UCONN. He led his team to the conference championship game like Walker, except they lost before heading into the NCAA tournament as the 7th seed, winning six games like Walker in the same cinderella fashion to take home the NCAA tournament championship, his second ring in 4 years. He was no question the best point guard in college that year and it wasn’t even close. When he got to the NBA, things went much different. What Happened To SHABAZZ NAPIER? The NEXT KEMBA!

Still one of my all time favorite college point guards. Loved his game. On the right team early on, I believe he could've been an asset.
You already did norris cole 👍🏾
Do James young
Marbury,Francis,Telfair,Darko,Latner,Cauly- Stein
O'Bannon brothers, Kittles
Bo Kimble
He was too cold. Goes to show that it isn't always about skill. The league isn't gonna always allow you to be the best version of yourself, especially if you're walking into a situation that has already achieved success BEFORE you. The NBA is one unforgiving business. If you don't capitalize on that initial opportunity (whether you're ready or not), you're just as good as gone.
Facts, it's crazy
I’m from Boston mass I know him personally & he got a raw deal in the NBA. He’s a GOAT in my city💯
From the town too bro Bazz definitely certified! 👌🏽
From randolph. Bazz didn’t get the opportunity he needed
I played against this man in travel , AAU ball 😂 can claim we got a dub over a NBA player
Bro was the shortest player on his squad , was the only one not dunking in the layup line
As he should 💯
I played at the Roxbury Y rec league with him our whole childhood. Unsurprisingly, he was always a standout
I remember LeBron begged Pat Riley to draft him and he’ll stay in MIA.. Riley drafted him, then he left to Cleveland😂
Facts😂
Highly doubt bron begged
As a Heat fan nah, he didn't beg, he just tweeted about him. I'm also salty we wasted a pick on him when the Heat eventually traded for Goran Dragic later in the season
He didn’t beg why would he beg for Shabazz napier
Sho did lol
What a dope name. Always rooted for him.
Napier a legend. 2 chips at UCONN. Nothing else is needed. Very solid career based on where he came from, size etc. He was a dog his senior year.
💡
He changed college sports forever when he told the media after the chip how slot of major college athletes still struggle with them limited weekly dining hall points. Immediately after, money started to flow
Shabazz is living his best life in Italy. He gets paid and travel the world. Players overseas make good money, they receive free housing, a car, some receive personal chefs, and they don't pay an exboriate amount of taxes. Josh Childress who chose a euro league contract over the NBA wrote an article about the advantages of playing overseas. NBA players play 82 games, compared to maybe 40, they pay a manager, agent, bookkeeper, they have to pay taxes in every state they play in (except Texas). Now they have added paying penalties for flagrant fouls. If you don't have a huge contract, you could walk away from the NBA broke.
You’re absolutely right. America isn’t the only place to be happy nor make lots of money. People believe Africa is a third world country but you’d quickly change your opinion if you were to visit. Perception I tell ya
@@abey824 Yes, they go in those little villages when they are begging for money, They never show how beautiful cities are in Africa. Most live like we do, it's a crying shame how other countries are so distorted.
Do the Phoenix Suns as a whole when they were coached by D'Antoni
A team concept series wld b actually dope.. good idea
He had so much potential
We all did
@@Percy_P fr
I love how Kemba’s game winner flowed with the beat perfectly lol
He’s having a really good career overseas…you have to get in where you can fit in..much respect to him
Would love to see a stunted growth on Marcus Banks from unlv, ballled out for two years then got drafted 13th overall in the 03 draft which is crazy considering who was all drafted that year!
Too many Folks not Fulfilling their Potential which is Sad …. 💀🏀
Love the PG stunted growths because there are so many -- and the analysis is especially detailed as the narrator played the position.
I would love to see a Scoonie Penn video (Big East freshman of the year, co-B1G player of the year, true winner). I guess he was just too small, but why are extremely successful college players so easily ignored by the league?
Cuz the pros is a totally different game
Lebron hyped this kid up for Miami to draft him and when they did he bounced back to the cavs
I’m from Massachusetts. Shabazz is Royalty out there had kids thinking it is possible to make it out
Was too undersize . To be his size & play under the rim you gotta be a lights out shooter . Otherwise you’re just a liability on both sides of the ball . Great college player tho loved watching him at UCONN
Shabazz always reminded me of trey Burke
1 word “Dawg” college was amazing those years 💯
Shabazz definitely deserves more recognition. I played against his older brother and watched Shabazz go from bi-focals & braids to a stellar Point God 🫡
Keep making these great videos bro🤝🏾
🫡
Shoutout to stunted growth ❤
Love your channel. Always quality content. If you haven’t already, and I’ve done a quick search and nothing has come up, would love to see you do a stunted growth on Charlie Villanueva.
Vidz always Dope. THAT BEAT MAN!!!! FIRE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember him briefly great info. 👍 vernon maxwell or John Starks next bro
Roxbury stand up. I’m from the Highland section. See you in August, always in my heart
Just subscribed to your stuntedGrowth music channel. Keep up the good work
So many guys in that draft you could do videos on. Ennis, pj Hairston, James Young, Jordan adams
Used to be one of my favorite point guards man.
You should do Justin Winslow or Thomas Hill the guy that played alongside Grant Hill , Christian Laettner Bob Hurley he was on that team
Love your videos
I hope you can do a video on JR Rider. I'm really interested in that story.
He did one a few years ago. It's good. czcams.com/video/T17lzCXCa1s/video.html
I was never a fan of Shabazz, but you won me over. Good video
Kemba was a junior the year they won
He ain’t wanna sell his soul that’s all..ain’t no way anybody better than bro
Facts
When he was in his he probably be a beast in today's league.
Dangggg one of my fav players I still follow til this day.
Kemba Walker step back classic
Clevin Hannah…. Mentor to Fred van fleet… winner at all levels…pre Steph curry… home town hero.. and his boy kenny Dawkins are totally intertwined.. amazing story
Lmaooo @ the next Kemba ‼️‼️‼️‼️
Overseas Killing It. Should still be in the league as a backup.
He was measured at 5'11 barefoot and 6'3.5 wingapan, plus he has a long neck and long head, which means his shoulders are lower than normal. Hes too undersized to be a starting pg, unless he is a elite shooter and much more athletic. Not many people of his size lasted long in the nba.
Long head and neck is crazy 😂😂
Man him and kemba were nasty together
Jc my guy please do either David Vaughn or Cedric Henderson or lorenzin wright all from the university of Memphis
Napier is a legend
You should do Aquille Carr if you ain’t already bro
*#UCONN*
As a Rutgers grad, I’d love to see you do Herve Lamizana or Quincy Douby!
Do Shabazz Muhammad please. He was a goon
Do what happened to Jordan Crawford bro averaged over 14 points in like 23 mins of play then barely played next season and got waived from the NBA
He’s a Roxbury kid I actually played against him he was always better than everyone else he had a older bro too who was nice
Boston legend
Do one on Scoonie Penn from Ohio State
You may as well as to prepare to make a Jimmy Butler: Stunted Growth video, in the near future. If he loses Game 7 on Monday, then he may have thrown away his final chance to win an NBA championship.
Alfredo Payton next please
🤝🏾🤝🏾🔥Shawn marion or stak 5 next? Also Juwan howard and Tim Hardaway jr. And jalen rose
Shawn Marion def had a good career. I don’t think he fits stunted.
@@tyrell8108 he's done a few people with great careers I just like to see how he thinks there game could've been better or different
@@tyrell8108 agree Marion was special stat stuffer across the board
Both Jalen Rose and Juwan Howard had solid careers in the NBA.
They weren't All-NBA talents but they weren't bench riders most of their careers either.
They performed to the best of their abilities, they don't fit the criteria imo for Stunted..
@@BLACK_MikeHammer he literally just did Carmelo Anthony and has done several other all star players. Dude just observes things that may have stopped guys from being even better
I'm remember lebron was like yo draft this dude. Then left lol, then 2k did him dirty with trailer of Lebron dunking on him lol.
😂😂
Dude killed my Kentucky Wildcats in the 2014 championship game.
Do one on Calvin Brock that went to Simeon High School in Chicago and went to University of Illinois and went undrafted in the NBA
Can you do a stunted growth on Dj Augustin
Can you do Thon Maker bro? What happened to him.
Aka the "LeBron pick " lol . In a way I feel like that had an effect on his career as well
Can you do a stunted growth on Kendall Gill or Roderick Anderson and Terrance Rencher from the Texas Longhorns
Can you do stunted growth for Team USA 2004 Olympic team ?
Do Tyreke Evans next
I feel like you seen my comment lmao
Can u do a breakdown of Jason Richardson idk y he gets no mention at least as a great dunker
Can you do Bo Kimble
Perfect example of even if u make it to the league.. That run doesn't last long.. Doesn't matter if u won NCAA championships or ranked one of the best high school bball players in the country.. It's very limited to be in the NBA
Did you do 1 on Ryan boatright??
A Miami Heat squad with two many guards, including a goat! No way are you getting shine, in South Beach!
Gotta do Andres Nocioni
Please do one on Ricky Rubio
How about a laphonso ellis, Brian grant episode?
The next kemba ? There go ya answer right there. Tryna be somebody who really ain’t much. Where is kemba now
Lol true and kemba was way more athletic than shabazz and kemba on a nba scale wasnt THAT athletic. I knew shabazz wouldnt be much in the NBA,small and not quick at all.
@@MIGGYME1 bro kemba started off good but cmon players like wall Russ rose out shine him. He was on a team where he could’ve shined n didn’t. Mad opportunities especially being in the east. His team was ass but idk. All Ik is injury helped mess him up. Plus he was average. Bazz was not it. As soon as Mia got him, it was over. Wait didn’t lebron want him then he left as soon as bazz got there? Lol see these players look good before they reach the A. The comp is way different.
J R Rider please
Enjoyed his game. Not sure there’s a slot for all great guards in the league.. It’s over crowded
Missed chance to talk about his career in Europe
There was another PG on that team. Wayne Boatwright you should feature him
its ryan boatwright he was a dog 2 between kemba shabazz and ryan defence had problems
@@bigquanzalaraise6017 my bad on the name
UCONN had mad players than just vanished. Like Charlie Villanueva
Miami was in revenge rebuild mode. I think he could have been a solid pro if the heat worked with him
When's the Chris Wilcox video?
College Ring
Larry O'Brien
Shoulda won em both
But these 3 reasons
Stunted my growth
Papa ain't home
Mama on dope

The next shabazz Napier cause his name is not kemba he is his own man this has to stop no next let that young man be him
Lee mayberry
David johnson syracuse
Bucks guard with Todd Day hmmm nice
4:32 bro Steph didn’t originate the night night ??? Wow
Yeah LeBron hyped him up only to leave Miami. He needed to be on a team that needed a PG and where he could grow. Such a shame he wasn't drafted to the right team.
Lebron dropping his name probably helped his draft stock. So how did he ghost someone he helped?
Jarvis Hayes stunted growth
went to school wit bazz. boston legeennnnnddddddddd
Stunted Franchise Washington Wizards no championships since 1978
Luke Recker and Julius Hodge would be good videos.
Rashad Vaughn
He was too little.
Like you?
Nah , walker was to little, nappier was really 6'0! Waller was like 5'10 no shoes with short arms . His quick steps and dribble helped . It caught up so he's done now too
Kendall Marshall Next bro
Already did him.
@@nettyballball497 good look
Roscoe Smith
LeBron Jinxed him!
Andrea Bargnani?
Ik he wasn’t all that good but a Norris Cole but I thought he wudda been Atleast a starter down the line
