Dion Waiters was one of the most polarizing players in the NBA for about 10 years. He was definitely talented but left the league in his prime. Now he explains what happened and it’s both depressing and inspirational. - Sport

W vids keep grinding
Remember when Casey was going bald? Lol. That's the real growth
very impressed with what you do, keep going
Look into betterhelp bro they bad.
Bro was a beast in 2k14
Retro Bowl
2k is full of scams bruh
Goes to show 2k aint reality. I remember running Andrea Bargnani and I never lost.
Fr
Bruh🤣🤣
The amount of loss he’s had in his life at such a young age is crazy. He’s very strong-willed regardless of his situation
Making it to the NBA is such a monumental thing in itself.
Well, if you come from a family of 10. Then....
🙏 👍🏻
Just some black boy bothersome cousins shot up. So what. I’m black I know them. Let them die it’s ok. More black womens for us.
Pretty much normal for lots of inner city black ppl
Man that was really humbling what he told his son. Sounds like he's really changed
Who’d have thought?
I hope he revitalizes his career. Comeback player of the year
Is he old
@@IAMMRONALDwithout looking it up I would say probably around 32 but he won't be back in the league
@@IAMMRONALDnot too old to play but old enough where a comeback isn’t likely. It is possible though.
@@theripper631 limited minutes tho
He was the worst player in the league behind Austin Rivers in his last season 🥴
That's precisely the question I wondered about this morning as I prepared for work. What in the world happened to that dude.
He knows his viewers well!!
hahaha
@@AMHoops Casey promote ur personal channel and put more content o. There it’s amazing only just found it last week
Am hoops is an AI creator based on my old friend T.E. Parker
man the amount of loss Dion Waiters he's had in his life at such a young age is absolutely damn crazy.. people like myself forgot how good Dion waiter was
He would be a good pickup for any team since it would probably only cost a vets minimum, but he would need to calm his confidence down
Dion Waiters had one of the cleanest looking jump shots I’ve ever seen fr
Kevin Porter Jr reminds me of Dion Waiters. Excellent scorers, attitude issues. Hopefully Waiters turn this around. He can still score
Ya he pretty talented, all those additions on Houston he could expendable n out, never hope for someone to do badly
I forgot about him he is a legend in Miami
His son will always respect that moment he will always make decisions on that one interaction and him admitting that to his son is what probably provoked a new mindset and work ethic
Dion Waiters was as solid as they come
Hope it works out for him, would love to see him back in the league
I've been in the same place as Dion. I studied hard in school but in university the result hit my ego, I started disregarding people and work, a lot of useless stuff took away my attention from studying. A few years passed and at one moment I realised the goals and life that I was expecting will never be here. Depression hit so hard that a thought of su&cide crossed my mind and I stayed emotionally paralysed for some time. It took my a lot of time to forget all the bad stuff and learn behaviour, remember the way I was in school.
Hope Dion stays on track even if not in the nba.
I pray you stay on track as well 🙏
@@raquelcarey1759thanks 👍
I used to like him on my 2K because his shooting form was easy to get perfect on every shot
Loved him in OKC and Miami I hope he’s doing well and can’t wait to see him either playing or maybe coaching or commentary.
Honestly would love to get Dion a veteran contract with the Rockets, lord knows that team needs some guidance in the locker room.
Oh definitely! Even though I'm around the same age group as a good majority of that team, they desperately need veteran leadership.
Nah the t wolves need it more especially since KAT behavior of a child
Yea ikr and dion wouldn’t let gay ass green be on zesty shxt either Lmaooo
💯💯
He may have been banned but he's very good on MyTeam though
im alway hyped for an upload
Very cool story, motivating and inspiring .Thank you for telling telling it.
I saw this brother in the masjid at night by himself praying during Ramadan sometime 5 years ago. The masjid was empty pretty much, and I just happen to walk in to pick up something. It was beautiful to see. Most people won't ever see that side of him. I don't know if I should have said that, but it made me think so much of what you hear about someone couldn't be far from the truth. Here was a millionaire NBA player taking time out alone in the middle of the night to pray and show gratitude to the Most High.
💯💯
Hey AM Hoops, just wondering, are you planning to release the grades for the nba draft picks?
Always a good daw when he post
Jesus loves yall and may God bless..
....
There has to be more to this story that is not public. Many... MANY NBA players have terrible attitudes but still get contracts. So there has to be something else as this story makes no sense.
No matter what happens with his playing career, he will forever be the goat voice actor
Wow. Great job! Just subscribed.
He was good in Miami
i never knew his story. i want him back in the league
Even if bro never makes league again, bro made it! Millionaire and set for life. Good for him
You look like a good Joe
He won a ring aswell
Hope he gets a second chance and makes the best of it.
I hope young kids will realise this as early as possible. Talent alone won't be the deciding factor of your future in any career choice, it's gonna be commitment and attitude what decides your future regardless the profession.
🦾💯
Really happy he was willing to seek help change things around for himself and his family
SOMETIME SOME PEOPLE NEVER REALIZE HOW GOOD THEY GOT IT UNTIL ITS GONE
Just goes to show you that talent without a work ethic means NOTHING to many NBA teams!
forgot to add the ad time bar thing
Bless you Brotha wherever you are 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️🖤💚🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😘
Dion is still solid and will improved any team that he lands to. Hopefully Denver or Spurs signs him.
Syracuse man right here 🙋♂️
Love the vids
Jesus loves yall and may God bless......
He was playing an all star for stretches of the season
Fell off the freakin' map
Being from Philly, I get the attitude he had for sure.
visited Philly last season to watch a game my favorite fanbase so far;
czcams.com/video/wAPX-3aLXPo/video.html
Golden state warriors should take him, they like old men
I actually watched that game were he hit the game winner and I became a Instant fan
This guy was so good and I mean it that season if they made the playoffs they would off been hard to beat
I was at the dion waiters game winner against the warriors!! It was absolutely electric in the arena
Good on him for realizing he had a problem and being willing to change!
Love you Casey
Good spin on this topic for a video
Would you dare put him in Memphis as a mentor style player with Ja? They have a enough games before Ja returns to feel him out and see if he is the new and improved version or if he would revert back to his old ways.its kinda a perfect fit really, most of all if his game is still at a high level so he could be a Dillion Brooks replacement because in game shape still in his prime he can go get 15 or more points a night especially in that offense. A prove it contract could give him bonuses if he is the new improved version and he could either be part of a 3 guard line up or come off the bench as a 6th man to help their depth for a playoff run
Bring him to Philly. I also loved his game.
I was wondering what happened to him, imma Cavs fan. Sucks it didn’t work out for him in Cleveland, wish Dion the best.
Damn good video. I got this in my Favorites folder.
Great story. Hope he gets that second chance.
he deserves a second chance on the Miami Heat !!!! Heat culture could help him !
he could get another change in Portland
“Second chance”? Did you not watch the video? He got suspended 3 times by the Heat
Good video am hoops
Future James Harden if he doesnt get his shit together
Agree
He’s right about the double standards of Kyrie Irving.
big ups for the comeback
Waiters on the bucks would go crazy
Wasn't he the guy that called himself Kobe Wade 😂😂😂😂
😂
Dion always reminded me of Dijon Mustard back in his playing days 🤣
Suicide isn’t an answer for anything. I’m glad he didn’t hurt himself.
guy was clutch as and very skilled, attitude and drugs got him early....
I wouldn't mind Dion on the Warriors
hmmm to big off a risk if you ask me, would like to see more hight on the Warriors
That 2019 plane ride
Dion deserves another chance!
Real ones know the original title was What happened to dion waiters?
How do u ban yourself smh ???? It’s like uninviting yourself to the Playoffs
Oubre and Woods seems to be on same trajectory.
One thing that got dion out of cleveland with lebron was the fact that even when and it was often lebron would drive in and hit dion for an open 3 he would still somehow catch it not shoot wide open then stepback step forward tween tween stepback brick
Lebron thrived in that drive and kick open shot system but that wasnt dions game
I remember that year. He was cooking. Always liked his game.
And he better than half the cats on the Knicks. 🤷🏾♂️. Sorry not sorry.
Watched him on the Lakers
The way you through up 2 fingers at the end of the video tripped me out
What do you think about Carmelo Anthony's case? Are his ego and pride getting in the way of him getting a contract under a team? I mean the man even laughed at the fact that "he'll come off the bench" + his unwillingness to work on his defence.
He's 39, I doubt he'll ever lace up again.
He retired
Yeah Carmelo underachieved he played on some talented rosters. In Denver,NY,Okc,Portland if he had more of a plug in and play Talent Like KD,Bron,Kawhi,PG13,Paul Pierce,Ron Artest. A lot better team players . Also they’re all better than Melo but that’s because they play both sides
💯💯
@@slickeddy2000 Ron artest is not a better player than Melo
Great story about a confident play who been threw alot
1st comment
love ur content man!
Jesus loves yall and may God bless....
funny thing about 2012 draft is at the time it was seen as a really strong draft as leading players returned to college due to lockout the year before. i can remember big time prospects like kidd gilchrist, harrison barnes, jared sullinger, perry jones iv, thomas robinson, jeremy lamb and none met expectations although barnes has been a decent even underrated starter throughout his career. Only really Beal and AD had a great careers out of those expected- lillard came from nowhere. and for the same reason why people thought this draft would be great (freshman returning) is why they thought 2011 was weak. and that draft had some of the best players of the era- kyrie, klay, kawhi, jimmy butler
Rip Kobe
Could be a great spark bench for a team on a cheap contract, hope he gets a shot
I was one of the guy who utterly believe in Dion
IF U R GOING 2 HAVE A BAD ATTITUDE U BETTER HAVE A DAMN GOOD GAME 2 GO A LONG W/ IT & THEN SOME U CANT HAVE A BAD ATTITUDE & YOUR GAME DOES NOT MATCH U MOST CERTAINLY WILL BE OUT OF ANYBODYS LEAGUE BUT THIS GOES BACK TO HIS FAMILY & FRIENDS TELLING DION THE PION THAT HE IS THE BEST & IT WENT 2 HIS HEAD
Casey your the goat you replied to me twice on discord
I’d like to see him back in the league
Bring the Sonics back and make him the PG! Would shake the league
He could really help the Lakers & multiple teams Bench...
I just knew bro was gonna get a ring 😢
Lmfao! The thumbnail looks like hes in exactly the same shape jus shirtless 😂😂
is gsw still sign one more for discipine and hard word also dedication and another vet? cp3 and dion waiters duo
Bro got a ring he good
what ever happened to "what ever happened to dion waiters"
Bro what he told his son was clear sign he changed.
Philly Cheese Been through a lot not like most in the league is a miracle he made it out
Solid player over 8 years.
I love therapy
Philly cheese the goat still❤
What do you mean the 2012 draft wasn’t strong? Dame, Drummond, Barnes and Ezeli were all taken after Waiters in the first round; Draymond and Middleton went in the second round. It could be argued that 2012 was so stock full of long term NBA players that guys like Baze. I know that the Warriors felt the draft was strong, as all 3 of their picks became key players en route to two NBA finals runs.
D gotta Wait

The Dubs need another guard
