I remember in 2k14 the announcers would talk about his nickname being “mini lebron” or something
I remember when I played 2k17, Bledsoe, LeBron, and Iggy all had unrealistic arm muscles.
@@mintesinotsturm388 I hated 2k17 for that reason it just annoyed me so bad
It’s 2k15
You know what’s wild, and this isn’t relevant to bledsoe but only in the nba would a 6’1 dude be called mini. I know I know that’s small for nba but like 6’1 in every day life you still tower over most people 🤣
He was known as that with clippers
"Hey, it's my good buddy Eric Bledsoe!" 😂
Troydan reference, nice.
Troydaddy
All hail Troydaddy 😂
🤣
TROYDADDY
9:00 that’s actually really reliable. He shoots it, and you know it’s almost always missing
consistency is different from reliability
@@ckvillareal reliable for the other team
@@ckvillareal It is consistent and reliable. Miami just dared him to shoot and he kept bricking 😂
if that's the case, then he is. xD
they had us in the first half not gonna lie
Lol calling him Drew was just a slip up until Rozier realized it made him mad. After that he started really playing into it
If he was drafted in the late 90s/early 2000s, he probably would have a lot more long term success given he's a slash first defense oriented guard.
bledsoe can't shoot
@@jctslice can you read?
@@jctslice and you can't comprehend a basic sentence
@@incredibol5367 and u can’t...... I have nothing
@@incredibol5367 And you can't use capital letters.
P.S I'm just trying to carry on the chain.
You can shelter the homeless with how many bricks he's laying 😂😂😂
Gold!
Damn
This is top tier
You can build a goddamn house for the goddamn queen of England with his bricks!😂
😂😂😂🤧🤧🤧😃😃😃
When you game revolves around athleticism it never ends well
James White comes to mind. Watch Andy Hoops on him if you don't know him
Bam is next...
Giannis?
Ummm Westbrook’s entire NBA career has revolved around his athleticism. He’s an awful shooter.
@@Sam-db4mr Westbrook is hyperathletic, these guys are just athletic.
Ever since the Terry Rozier debacle he’s never been the same lmaoo
sad to say .. but that is true..
Facts
Facts 🤣🤣 the hoops world was going crazy that series
Who?
@@jaybriggs2430 that Celtics team was so much fun. No pressure (thanks to Hayward’s injury) allowed the rest of the team to ball out. And Kyrie’s absence in the playoffs paid off huge dividends down the line for Jaylen and Jayson’s development.
Plus Drew Bledsoe became a Celtics folk hero for like a week thanks to the Rozier/Bledsoe beef lol
Imagine Bledsoe watching the Finals this year.
Crazy he played for both I bet he like 🤦🏾♂️ specially the fact that drew Holliday is in the position he could've been in
That's why I'm here lmao
@@GriuGriu64 nah more like Bledsuxkass or Bledchoker, Bledinstablock photo
@@xjohnxjohn7392 same man Eric is freaking trash. Jrue is the best fit with Giannis and Khris even he the best passer 😤. Other Bledshit
He saw the win for sure
As a bucks fan I am happy that we traded him cause he is an absoloute travesty in the playoffs
Awful.
Actually it was Giannis that was negatively impacting the team, and last year, it was Khris Middleton that choked
Screw you guys we want jrue back 🤣
Wilson sy
@@jayherbogaming just bledseos bricks made the bucks lose
Crazy thing is, as bad as he’s been Stan Van Gundy REFUSES to bench him lmao
Stan van is a clown
SVG doesn’t care about his job anyway
cuz he helps on D, which NO ONE ELSE plays
@@jctslice lol just admit you haven’t watched a single game of his this season
@@jctslice damn guess Josh Hart doesn't exist.
this channel is so underrated I remember the where are they now videos
Same
Bled was a dawg in PHX MIL too but his window is closing he’s probably fighting just to get on the floor
that 3 point guard foolishness didn't help
@@jctslice not at ALL they should’ve kept Isaiah though
@@blakelip3 Pels biggest problem is defense and after the good young guards come back from injury IT wouldn’t get much if any minutes
@@Noble992 it’s rumored that Zo is in the trade discussions
@@blakelip3 trade deadline passed long time ago
Lebron has jinx so many players careers. Shabazz Napier, Dennis Smith Jr., Ben McLamore and Eric Bledsoe. Lebron is the P Diddy of basketball 🤦🏾♂️
Ben Mclemore is playing better ever since he got on the Lakers
He did it to Kyle Kuzma too🤣🤣
@@jamesross29 Kuzma is fine, he's a quality bench player who can start in a pinch. He's been rebounding great this season. He got a ton of minutes in his first two years and it made him look better than he was.
MJ does it as well lol
@@arpeeh21 kwame
Their was a time when Bledsoe nearly ended up in a three team trade with Kiyrie and PG13.
Love the videos bro, keep them coming
appreciate it breh. will do
Please do more videos like this.
Torrey “Glitch” Craig played for Suns and Bucks: gets 🏆 either way
Eric Bledsoe played for Suns & Bucks: gets 11 minute video either way 😩😂
Awesome Video Matt Enjoyed It
It really is a good day when Caine uploads
Chris Paul knew wtf he was doing😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Ikr. He lowkey told the team to get rid of him lol
I mean he looked out for me if you think because they really weren't gonna be able to pay him honestly and he wasn't taking cp3 starting job either
@@terencejones4057 Terrence Jones go back to the Rockets😁
Or in the Philippines
he streams on twitch now and we become buddies lol hes a really cool dude
This channel deserves more subscribers
He was absent for a year thats why he took a step back
@@LS-ml5pr oh yeah I remember that. I think it was last year and I felt like something was missing
Yo great video bro!
Bledsoe was great for the Bucks during the regular season but when the playoffs come around he would disappear. Now we traded him got Holiday, and our champions. Granted Giannis is much better but still, Jrue was amazing on defense regularly and up and down but more up on offense.
Yeah bledsoe was consistently struggling in the playoffs and lack of contribution led to some big losses
@@mmettej The baffling thing...he was SOO good taking the ball to the basket. He was acrobatic under the hoop, he had some touch...but then come the playoffs and it was like a totally different player.
It was just ugly.
I’ve been getting recommended this non stop and I’m finally watching this
Man looking back on it now after the championship it was worth all that for Holiday lol
He was one of fav players in like 13,14 in Phoenix when some people call him mini bron. Saw him play live and he was really good. But yeah I lost pretty much all respect after all the playoff flameouts
Nice Vid Bro 👌🏼
If he reunite with cp3, whether in Phoenix or in somewhere else, cp3 might right him and his career
When Rozier brought out Drew Bledsoe in Boston to troll/ether him I knew he could never comeback from that.
Such an underrated all time sports moment.
Bledsoe and Dragic were a good combo. I was rooting for this team back in 2013-2014.
Rozier walking in with a vintage #11 Patriots jersey was one of funniest jabs I have ever seen an athlete make 😂
Yeah, this dude is hella inconsistent the last few years.
I've always said Eric Bledsoes is fools gold, he'll have good games occasionally and he'll make you think " this guy is pretty good ".He never doees it consistently though. The bucks should've never let Brogdon go, Can you imagine a lineup with Brogdon, Giannis, Middleton and Holiday.
Wouldn't have Jrue without letting go of Brogdon bro
@@mouseymouse1077 that's exactly my thought if they would have kept Malcolm they would have never traded for Holliday lol
he’s way past his prime now, still a great 7th or 8th man on a championship contender who needs a playmaker off the bench
He’s just in a weird position. He was great last year for the bucks, but now he’s playing almost all off ball which is a weird role for him. His defence has slipped too but unless players face athletic decline that’s usually an effort thing
Not a playmaker. Stick to anime u don’t know basketball
@@dill185 lol ad hominem, what does anime have to do with my opinion. Just because you have a different opinion, means you have to degrade something about me lol. You lost the argument by using an AD HOMINEM
oh wow. I was wondering what team he was playing on now. I like his style play now you showed this video and some of his high lights. I think a team like Chicago or Kings could benefit from him now. These teams are in need of some serious help. But he could fit on a winning squad. But all those teams pretty top up as is.
Waiting for Andy Hoops to do this too
me to!
Ikr
@@eamparbeng those dang trumpets lol
Ong
Great video!
He’s still a good defender and finisher I believe he can still start if they work on shooting and passing in the off season and demar and Lowry fixed their playoff woes I think he can too if his shooting improves
He’s the perfect “playoff starter kit” for a young team breaking out. As a Bucks fan, this dude always made sure we make playoffs and stayed relevant but shits the bed every time when we’re actually contending. You need to move on from him to have a chance at a chip, and giving him for Jrue was the best thing we did in the last 20-30 years
I don't think Eric bledsoe career really warrants a "what happened to him". He was good but never an allstar or anything like that. Its an age thing hes 31 and declining which is normal for most players in the league except for the high lever superstars. He relied on his athleticism and energy but as he gets older he's less efficient. His 11ppg, (%40fg)refelcts that. Plus lonzo is the main PG and playmaker also zion and B.i need their touches. Thats just not his role at this point in his career.
lonzo isnt the point guard hes there 3 and d wing
@@Carbogarbo42?? lonzo's natural position is point guard. Hes a playmaking combo guard but is a naturally point guard due to his playstyle.
Bledsoe was always a very good player and in his prime he was a borderline allstar, but he never seemed to pull it together in the playoffs
no 3 pt shot
@@jctslice he’s been a bad shooter the past 2 years but he had a few years where he almost shot 40% from 3
@T Mitch sure but that doesn’t equal “no 3 point shot” I’m saying at one point he was a solid shooter nothing special
Great video and person of interest
4:26
True story, my girl was friends with his girl at the time. She said he tweeted that because he didn't want to be at her hair salon anymore that night.
He said that about that tweet
Lol
Bro in 2k18 this was without a doubt my hardest Match up on mycareer. I could strap anyone rookie year on superstar, and get open off the dribble on anyone as well…except Eric Bledsoe. The backs clapped me in the second round and I haven’t played 2k since
Edit: I’ve also accidentally called him Drew Bledsoe
As a Bucks fan, it makes me sad to see Bledsoe get so much hate. People can say whatever they want about him in the playoffs but he did elevate the Bucks to a powerhouse in the league. I highly doubt the Bucks would’ve continued to get better and better unless we had Bledsoe. Gets too much hate man smh
Yeah...I think that's insane. Midds and Giannis were the leading forces behind the Bucks getting better, not Bled. He was a great defensive PG, he was a nice player, but he was just SO bad in the post-season for the Bucks...there was nothing they could do. They had to move off him.
I'd bring him back just as a backup, but I think you exaggerate his role as this force behind the Bucks rise. I don't like the hate he gets either, but the fact is, he said he got so nervous before the games, he'd get sick. That CLEARLY showed up in the playoffs when he'd make just AWFUL decisions...to the point where they had to start benching him.
If Bled plays just bad offensively vs Toronto, they win that series.
He is extremely overrated and selfish and kind of a punk
That’s true if y’all didn’t get Bledsoe then no Holiday and no chip
I didnt like rhe way he quit on Phoenix
your an absolute moron
3:05 NBA guys are so tall that they made Eric Bledsoe, a 6’1 guy look like Kevin Hart😂
Lol that’s how I felt on my team I was 5’11 but I am 225lbs mostly muscle so I made most of them look small in muscle weight Bledsoe is also up there he is 215lbs so he makes up for it a bit
But I also played football cause I was 225lbs mostly muscle that was more of my go to sport
Man bledsoe must’ve been mad cause both suns and bucks made it and bucks won
As a Suns fan this dude was a beast every other night. Most nights he shot terribly
Don’t be too sad, He’s collecting millions on millions while having a very solid nba career and living out his dreams lol
Right lol
The classic, he has money so he can’t be sad about his shortcomings argument😑
@@alexandertoback5553 take a step back and think. These players are in the top 0.1% of the world. They make more money in one year than your entire family combined. So yes, don’t feel bad for bledsoe
@@lostinYourReality money≠pure happiness
@@alexandertoback5553 the argument isn’t that he’s 100% happy all the time and that he should never be sad. Rather, with the amount of money and career he’s had, it’s rich hearing random you tubers and guys in the comments living off their parents “feeling bad” for him.
The year he gets traded, the Bucks went on to win the championship. Damn.
Watch the Pelicans make the finals & win it next year lol. That's the Eric Bledsoe effect, every team that he leaves, the immediately become a championship contender : The Suns, the Bucks, etc. Don't be surprised if the Pels make it to the finals & possibly win it hahaha
Bledsoe can either be 2nd option for borderline playoff team or a starter for a tanking team, but no higher.
Im surprised he didnt lawyer up to not pay the "I dont want to be here" fine. There is 0 way they can prove he was talking about his career.
Man I hust realized the two teams battling for the 2021 title are Bledsoe’s former teams
Leeeetttt’sss gooo finalyyyy one thank uu🙌🏾🙌🏾
He’s still OP in 2k 😂
Yeah what he is? Like an 82 OVR? I remember in 2k20 or 2k19 not remember in which exactly he was like and 85 or 86
A MISSING PERSONS REPORT HAD MOST DEFINITELY BEEN FILED IN MILWAUKEE DURING OUR PLAYOFF RUNS
FOR THAT DREW BLEDSOE KID!!
CRAZY THING IS THAT IN BOTH Y HE WAS FOUND RIGHT AFTER OUR SEASON WAS
ENDED
Bledsoe went from “I don’t wanna be here” player to “We don’t want you here” player lol
I was surprised in the beginning of the season about his stats. He shot 41% from three but quickly slowed down.
I never understood why they chose bledsoe over brogdon. sure that guy was injury prone but he had an incredible basketball iq and made everyone around him better. oh and yeah you keep a guy that has a 50/40/90 season.
You said it yourself- it's the injuries. Brogdon was plagued with them again this year. Besides, when that happened they had just come off their best season in 20 years- they hadn't won a playoff series since then, and in 2019 the made it all the way to the conference finals. People want to pretend.2019 was so horrible for the Bucks, but it was way better than expected at the start of the season.
@@davidkelln9225 Celtics have been doing good with Malcolm this season. Let him comes off the bench. Let him run the second unit and as a closing line up. It seems like his body cant take the burden of starter minutes
@@JackahoonaLaGuna maybe that's it, or maybe it was just bad luck in the past. He was never afraid to shoot or drive in and take it to the basket.
When he was healthy with the Bucks he was a 90/50/40 guy- tremendous shooter.
Bledsoe and dragic used to literally carry Phoenix back then
True but I never liked him
His game excuse me
Suns fan here. I hated him on our team. They should have kept Dragic who was just as good and made everyone around him better. Bledsoe would just pound the ball at the top of the key until there was little time left on the clock over and over again. It drove me nuts. I had to quit watching it. He wasn't likeable at all, never showed any emotion and was severely over rated.
@@thomascavanaugh9532 but without help what could dragic do Bledsoe was his only help Phoenix was terrible back then they had to work with what they had
@@h0hleek They actually had some decent players his first year here. Barbosa was 6th man of the year the previous year. Morris brothers, Dragic, PJ Tucker, Channing Frye, Gerald Green was damn good off the bench and started. I loved Plumlee off the bench as well. But Eric Bledsoe is way over rated IMO. I saw him play a four years and the guy never even came close to winning me over as our starting PG. Maybe I was just spoiled with Nash but I just didn't like his demeanor or his court presence at all. The offense would just stand around while he pounded the ball at the top of the key and other teams would sit back and let him do it.
@cainelovescali what do you know about the beat in the background of this video?
I remember when he was a clipper, the announcers would call him mini lebron 😆 let's go clips
Old days When he was actually Dunking 😔 and chasing down blocks
9:00 you forgot the part where he shot 2/13 in a win or go home game.
And now Phoenix is top 2 in the West while E. Bled and NOLA is trying to enter the play-in
Just wait until Chris goes somewhere else
Crazy thing is I went to the same high school as him he was a grade above me, he was the star player name always in the papers and he when he went to Kentucky everybody was rooting for him
Bledsoe and Coach Bud are the main people responsible for Giannis' reputation as a bad playoff performer
We'll see this year, but their gamplan is so weird they let ppl shoot wide open corner 3s they need to fix that
@@xaviergardner1881 yep... hope we get figure out a decent defensive scheme by then lol
u don't watch bucks game. If you do, then you know they lost every year in the playoffs when role players step up and hit a shit ton of 3s.
@@cacaf8989 its not about role players... It about the 2nd and 3rd option being consistent
@@luizclaudio527 I'm talking about opponents role players like Mike Scott and Fred Vanvleet hitting a ton of 3s. That's the only way to beat the bucks. If 2nd and 3rd option is consistent they would be the 1st option wouldn't they. That is a stupid ass take. It's as stupid as saying if everyone on the lakers was as good as Lebron they would win all the time. No shit, that's a lazy ass take.
2:10 that’s such an ESPN star bro holy shit 😭
I remember being a massive Bledsoe stan bacon the day. Bro was legit
Missed opportunity to have that Rise Against song just playing in a loop in the background
Eric Bledsoe has the genetics to be a professional bodybuilder. Look at his frame! With the right training, juice and nutrition, he could be on track to potentially earning an IFBB pro card.
Yeah a lot of my teammates told me the same thing at only 5’11 I was 225lbs like 15 percent body fat they use to tell me why are you playing basketball and not becoming a body builder 😂
We just built like that down here in Birmingham bro we go hard down here
I just read Eric Bledsoe's career statistical averages on his FG and 3pt% throughout his time in the NBA. And they're pretty mediocre and won't cut it in today's league. This video confirms everything about those stats.
I disagree he shoots about 34% for his career which is almost the same as Bron and he still gets by being a mediocre shooter. But Eric Bledsoe definitely can be streaky
@@Francis-vl5oy if it's 34% from 3, then he obviously doesn't have as many possessions as Lebron. Then that would mean that he's a more efficient than Lebron since Bledsoe hasn't been in the league as long either.
@@Francis-vl5oy He's also a 1st team All-NBA defender and he WAS outstanding taking the ball to the rim...in the regular season. It was the post-season where he'd just...I don't know, lose it. Instead of taking the contact and absorbing it and putting the ball up, he'd suddenly try to avoid it and throw these wild shots up off the top of the backboard...it was baffling to see.
It really seemed like it was just a confidence issue.
@@eamparbeng So BECAUSE he shot the same as LeBron, THEN it's obvious he didn't have as many possessions? Not because it's fucking LeBron, one of the most ball dominant Forwards in NBA History(probably THEE most)?
Eric Bledsoe's issue wasn't his "career shooting pct." That's silly. As a regular season player, he was outstanding...especially when you factor in his defense.
He just...lost it during the playoffs. That's it.
love the video, truly forgot about him
8:01 wassup with that dude 😂
LOL 2019 ECF jitters...Thank you, Kawhi!
THATS HIS REACTION AFTER KAWHI GOT THE GAME SEALING REBOUND AND GOT FOULED
I used to cook other online players with bledsoe off of the bench for the clippers in nba 2k back in the day 💪
Dawg hurts me seeing how his career went always was a supporter of his game since the lob city era!!!
he shows up every other day in Warriors trade rumors (No you can't have James Wiseman!)
but it's the classic receiving team wants a bargain, selling team wants an All-Star (in return).....
He can't shoot consistently. He was injury prone. He is a bench player at best. Todays game is not suited for his game.
Cainelovescali 🔥
Never been the same since meeting troydan
He’s been in the league ten years. This probably just the natural progression of a average NBA career more than a decline.
That trade worked out for Milwaukee since they won the championship must suck for Bledsoe
Like Reggie Jackson, Pat Bev, and Batum, the Clippers are able to revitalize veterans who were once overpaid. You can’t blame these players for not living up to the contracts they were given. I’m glad to see them getting their lick back.
He’s was bums with the clippers 2😹
Eric made 100 million in the nba he had a great nba career
idek who tf that is
as a Bucks fan, you really can see why some people telling you he can be an all-star until playoffs happen and realize why he hasn't been one until now
I was saying he was a top 15pg in la.. look up his per 36... craaazy.
Suns fan here with mixed feelings about the man. He’s like that frustrating player that you could see being much better, but consistently plays way below his potential
Bledsoe has to be the worst starting PG in the league next to Elfrid Payton
Ouch
Nah, he’s at least top 22-23
Raymond Felton next please
That's a pretty specific stat to keep up with there. I wonder who are the only players that averaged 17 points 6 rebounds 8 assist and 1.8 steals while shooting 48% from the field goal
Phoenix on 2k14 was crazy af
Him leaving and the bucks instantly winning a title with a better version of him was a tell tale sign he was not who we once was.
He should help the clippers a lot. His durability should offset what the clippers been dealing with
Back to LAC? Crazy.
I just want him off my team 😆
your username and profile pic are wonderfull 😁
He’s not a bad dude off the bench. A veteran defensive guard as your 6th or 7th man would be a luxury for a playoff team. He’s just not starting for a contender anymore that’s all.
Now both the teams he was outed from are playing in the Finals
Thank God we stole Holiday for Bledsoe. Life is amazing. Makes my heart happy
Bled and lonzo have to be dealt or let go naw and Lewis should be the guards of the future along with hart they’re better fits with Zion
Zo should run that offense not bled
