Dude peaked too early,when some people have it too easy early in life once the competition catches up they lack the work ethic to get back to the top. Oj mayo had hall of fame talent but had the work ethic of a trust fund kid.
Bro, I remember watching a Grizzlies vs Lakers game in like ‘09. And the Memphis announcer said “Oj Mayo is better than Kobe Bryant.” And ever since then, I hated that team lmao.
Yeah I remembered that game I’m from Memphis and I knew when he said that I said nope. Kobe got 4 rings at that time before he got his fifth and I said bro high right now😂😂😂
I met him once in Vegas at the palms he was just standing in the lobby he was in the summer league I recognized him he was humble big time took a pic and everything
Remember going to retrieve his car for financial reasons at his residence.. took one look at his home and yup that wasn't going to happen. Never seen so much Infrared staring at me 😅
What do you mean so much infrared staring at you? I don’t understand that part. He’s coaching some team in China now, even has a family (wife (maybe) and daughter too.
Glad to see I'm not the only one with that 2K Mayo & Rudy Gay PTSD!!! Jennings was beast as he was IRL as well. It was like holding 2K2/2K3 Iverson i swear 😂😂😂
He wasn’t bad at all. OJ was big time. His head and off court issues were questionable not his talent. Watched him several times in high school… he was a beast. His teammate Bill Walker was an absolute freak like Vince Carter. Saw Walker and OJ do some crazy things on the court in high school. It’s a shame neither really panned out. Walker blew out both knees I believe. Went to Kansas State and a brief stint in the league
As a grizzly fan I was so excited to see him come to Memphis. I thought that we had drafted our way to a super team and all we had to do was wait. Boy did it suck instead.
Great video. I'd heard a lot of stuff about OJ but this really filled in the blanks. Though he was, by all accounts a real jackass, I hate seeing people hurt themselves. I hope he can pull himself out of this mess.
For me this dude is best known as “that dude on the Bucks in NBA 2K14 who talked shit on me as a rookie before I went on to average 70ppg” (Yes, really. As a kid I played on rookie as a PG, played 7 seconds or less offense, and only took threes lol.)
@@pokepwned shit that’s how I feel when it come to online every year . Like I’m not boutta sit here grinding or buying all the jumpshot boosts and layup packages I just play my career and play now at this point
I went to school with him and played basketball with him a few times, when I saw him in back in town some years ago just walking down the street casually I knew something was wrong lol. I went to school with him and patrick patterson
My mom was really good friends with Patrick Patterson mom she was a great women. Watch them play a few times in Charleston and played against him when we were young in yboa and aau.
Delete this video dude. You don’t know WTF you’re talking about bro. I played against him numerous times and he put the spotlight on Cincinnati hoops!!! The man was a assassin
Was lucky enough to watch OJ Mayo when he played at SC. What an electric player who made the game fun to watch. Hope he's doing well despite being out of the NBA.

I mean he was like 15 in middle school
I played rec ball with him, he really grew like 7 inches at 14 lol I went from being the big to playing guard… him and Patrick Patterson

OJ Bad? Stop it
Only a couple really bad NBA players.You don’t make it unless you got some kinda talent or scrappy attitude
James Harden had the career I thought OJ would have
He had the career I thought oj and tyreke Evan’s would.

He was goated in 2k12
With Rudy gay that Memphis team was tough
@@ncaa12cfb92my favorite team to play with in that game
I use to play with them Grizzlies teams. He came off the bench . They were my Heat beaters. That team could rebound like crazy .
He was a dawg in 2k
As bad as his name sounds. Mayo-flavored orange juice! 🤮 😂
The Memphis Grizzlies did not draft OJ mayo they drafted Kevin Love and traded him for OJ mayo should have kept Kevin Love
Well we have got Mark Gasol and Zach Randolph it wouldn’t workout so that’s why they made the move.
Damn that's crazy. I would've done it too tho. I liked love at ucla. He was who I thought he'd be. OJ u thought would be like TMac esque
OJ is one of my favourite players, I’ve got his jersey from when he played in Taiwan, his Memphis jersey and his signature shoes too 😂
the 2010 nike shoes were iconic i remember begging for em 😂

Background music?? I would really appreciate it if you could tell me the name of the track @8:00 ??
Over weed is crazy
Nah Crack.
the first thing he was supposed to do was to change his name o. j. it's a bad omen that name
just hearing his name upsets my stomach 😫💀
He had an excellent rookie year, but fell the f*ck off after that.
Dude peeked at 15, he took basketball so serious for so long he never had a chance to be a kid/teenager.
He looks like Kyrie Irving’s big bro no cap lmao
Huh, I didn't know what happened to OJ. Thanks for the video!
My high school team knocked him out of the state tournament in 2004. He was fun to watch.
thinking OJ was ever bad is crazy. mad bad decision but a bad player nah 😭
The Grocery List.
Glad to see I'm not the only one with that 2K Mayo & Rudy Gay PTSD!!! Jennings was beast as he was IRL as well. It was like holding 2K2/2K3 Iverson i swear 😂😂😂

Who else has 2k13 flashbacks anytime they hear about OJ Mayo 😮
He was 26 in highschool

Boy did it suck instead.
I really wise ai had agreed to come off the bench for that team. It would have been crazy
Zebo, Rudy, Mayo, Gasol, Conley,
Chuck off the bench,
Maaaaann
@@vittiriowashington5211 like that’s the one time I wish he would have agreed to come off the bench. He could still score at that point too smh
@@t-god2439 Facts, I this was my squad on like 2k9ish..
OJ didn't ever suck he just was never in the rite position. Then his personal life got him in trouble
He peaked physically at 16, happens...
Kid clearly wasn't focus
Great video ! But you should upload more consistently I promise your channel would blow up
ORANGE JUICE MAYO
Thank god, another North Star baby 😇
Average USC student
Why does mayo look like kyire
Great video. I'd heard a lot of stuff about OJ but this really filled in the blanks. Though he was, by all accounts a real jackass, I hate seeing people hurt themselves. I hope he can pull himself out of this mess.
The lesson here is NBA players are terrible at scouting.
Him being banned was actually good for the game
OJ Yayo
The nba overreacted with the suspension
I don’t think he was bad, he had moments and was obviously talented. It just didn’t work out, much like Michael Beasley.
I thought that was kyrie in the thumbnail
He wasn't Telfair level bust. Slam hypes these dudes up.
I was also awesome in high school
Mf used to kill me on 2k13 when they had him on Dallas.
I swear I thought he retired years ago 😆🤣😭🥃
Wasn’t he like 19 in high school?
A 2k goat
Plays like Kylie to
so explain why they wont get rid of Ben Simmons because he is robbing the league of millions
He's still on contract, they can't
6'3" shooting guards will never have long careers.
OJ is 6’5”
this titlee irks me. if you know ball you know oj mayo use to cook your favorite ball players
I remember my nephew telling me when we were kids this dude was gonna be the best grizzly ever with Rudy Gay 😂. Boy he couldn’t have been more wrong
I honestly thought OJ Mayo would pan out to but you never know how a player will develop once they get into the NBA
He had the talent and so did Rudy. Injuries and bad eyesight hurt Rudy while you just watched a video explaining why Rudy was outty
For me this dude is best known as “that dude on the Bucks in NBA 2K14 who talked shit on me as a rookie before I went on to average 70ppg” (Yes, really. As a kid I played on rookie as a PG, played 7 seconds or less offense, and only took threes lol.)

He wasnt bad at all. He just got banned for drugs. 🤷🏾♂️
OJ Yayo was the next king of basketball fuck you mean
his game was a mixture of orange juice and mayonaise. just shit.
Wasnt bad at all, he was good
but he's been balling overseas ever since. he's good without the NBA.
He was not bad tho
I went to school with him and played basketball with him a few times, when I saw him in back in town some years ago just walking down the street casually
I knew something was wrong lol.

Wow, when did I subscribe to this rubbish?? Time to change that.
He needed more than one year of college. Just proof raw talent alone ain’t enough to be great in the nba
