Shoutout to Jack Twyman for being an awesome human being.
💯
Nah fr man’s Issa real one for that

Twyman and Stokes have the teammate of the year award named after them and its easy to see why
Kevin Garnett: 7 straight first round exits.
Chris Paul: Most losses after a 2-0 lead.
I'd put an asterisk by Chris Paul. His coaches during most of that was Byron Scott and Glenn Rivers. He's never had a great coach even though Monty Williams won coach of the year
CP3 contributed greatly to his exists
Tracy McGrady never made it out the first round.
*One year the Rockets made it to the second round but T-Mac was out for the season. Yoa Ming led the team while he was out.
@@mongoslade277 Monty has a 51% winning percentage in the NBA, CP3 can game but cant lead or motivate
@@leonkennedy5862 That's an unbelievable stat. Injuries. Bad luck. Maybe you're right. 2 or 3 times yeah but 5 times. That's amazing
Jack Twyman is amazing. the way he thought of his friend like that is wholesome!
Absolute legend of a human
Jesus
What a soul
🙏🏾
Still, shoutout to Brandon Knight for still trying. Being dunked on is not "a shame" for me. Not trying to contest a dunk to avoid a poster is. The play that embarassed Knight for me was when he missed a wide open layup in transition to win the game
so glad someone said this.
Yeah kd will avoid dunks
You forgot about when Brandon Knight missed a wide open game winning layup
I think he missed two in his career not even lying
Yeah i heard jason kid choke him in looker room after that😂
@@Mrgiftedsoul no 2nd of all in OT he hit the game winner
#9 choked me up. Hearing stories like that is so sad. Thank goodness for good people like Jack Twyman.
You should have had Anderson Varejao in this. He was on the Cavs when they lost all their finals and was on Golden State in 2016
He was on the cavs at the beginning of that 16 season, so he was part of a championship team and I believe?? They give him his ring. I could be wrong on that
@@vggaming6920 nah they didn’t bc remember he ended up on the warriors before we won lol
@@graphitedamier3548 there was a thing where he was still eligible to a ring technically because how many games he played with the cavs even though he was traded to the warriors. But he refused the ring I believe.
Bro i miss prime d-rose thats the one player i want back in the league😔
D ROSE
He still in the league
@@frankrichardson7002 prime d rose
He never really changed other than dunking. Still fast as fuck. Nobody really gave him a chance but you can't say he can't play when he was coming off the bench with close to 20 points a game and a 3 point threat more now than ever.
I still fuck with drose he blessed chicago with great basketball 💯💯💯
Yao ming could've been a top 25 all player if no injuries. He had a graceful fade and hook.
Isaiah Thomas is the reason players need to get as much as they can as soon as they can.
Well he didn’t have a long shelf life
@@lamchunting856 you're correct.
@@lamchunting856 you bugging no one in the NBA can guard him they barely play defense in today nba
I still remember my dad giving me the Len Bias talk about how even trying harder substances once can ruin your entire life. RIP to what would have been one of the all time greats.
RIP TO ALL OF THE LEGENDS WE LOST MAY YOU ALL REST IN PEACE 🏀🐐😭🕊️🏀🐐😭🕊️
Drose still got it man .. the explosion is gone but he got an basketball IQ now , he minimize his body to perform well in todays NBA.
Jay Williams could be on this list. Drafted number 2 overall (after Yao Ming), but suffered a motorcycle accident that effectively ended his career before it could get started.
riding a bike when his contract explicitly forbade him to do so is not bad luck, that's just being an irresponsible jackass
The Nets weren't the Brooklyn Nets back then, they were in New Jersey. 😉
Anyone who the Kings draft have the worst luck ever might as well go back to college for another year
As a lifelong Bulls fan, my heart always aches when I hear the D-Rose storyline.
Drazen petrovic definitely tragic rip. To me the biggest what if in nba history.
Alternate title: Best starts of NBA players
Not a lot of people know him but Reggie Lewis should've been on this list. He refused to give up playing ball despite what other doctors said. And in my opinion, Reggie's story is more tragic than that of Bias. RIP Reggie and Len
Played with Mugsy in high school too.
Shout out to Tracy McGrady! He was one of my favorite players growing up. He was so good!
Things notably wrong with this video:
- Yes, Drazen Petrovic was traded to the "Brooklyn" Nets from the Blazers ... Oof.
- And Drazen's "luck changed on the day he died"? You think?
- And as if the Len Bias incident came while he was simply "talking"
- As if the death of IT's sister was only a "chip on his shoulder"
- Also, Grant Hill played much more than 47 games with the Magic - he played 200
I'm unsubbing, the narrative is bothersome too.
Petrovic was a beast. Sad he passed away so early. Was fun to watch. Great video
Thats why you dont let woman drive 💀💀
@@exoticluke99Bro why do you turn a tragedy into a laugh, what’s gone wrong with society
@@MarcusKrestaevusthat wasn’t a joke dude.
WOMEN SHOULDN’T BE ALLOWED TO DRIVE, especially blondies!
Dražen Petrović played for the New Jersey Nets. The team didn't move to Brooklyn until 2012.
My dad went to Maryland when len bias was playing, and he still has the sports illustrated article from when he died in 1986. Really sucks, bias had a damn 48 in vertical
Don't know why he didn't mentioned he OD on coke.
“Brandon’s 2013 might’ve been worse than 2020” 😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂
Didn't know about stokes and twyman. What a great person to help like that.
You guys couldn't even do 30 seconds of research to accurately state what happened to Len Bias? He had a cardiac arrythmia after over dosing on cocaine, not a random seizure. This was a huge catalyst for change in the league, because at the time drug use was much more common in the NBA, and now it had robbed a young talent of all his opportunity. His tragic passing forced the league to take action and enact policies that would help prevent more loss of life.
Loyalty means nothing to Celtics.
He played on even when his sister passed away. It4 love Boston and he found a home here and he had a vision of winning a title.
And Danny ainge traded him away for kyrie. Who only wants to chase his own personal glory and fame because he was overshadowed by LeBron
Len Bias didn't die from some random "unlucky" seizure. He chose to put that coke in his nose and as a result he overdosed and died. Guess you had to leave that part out to fit the theme of the video.
Yea that’s not unlucky, it’s bad decision making
@@lik7953 it‘s bad decision making but it‘s still very unlucky even tho i don‘t think he should be part of this video same with petrovic
Yeah I find it very very weird they didn’t mention at all that it was induced by a cocaine overdose. That is literally one of the most well known parts of his death. Reason why they started looking into the NBAs cocaine problem among a few things
@@JigglyBooties they only say that the seizure came while "talking" too, this video is straight up rewriting history
I was wondering why they skip that part.
No isaiah thomas isn't unlucky, he got f%$@ed over!!
Even IF Boston wins this year I’ll still be a bit sad Isaiah wasn’t with them, he deserves a ring.
@@awc6007 yes about the ring but Celtics desver no rings for how they treated IT
Feedsomefood the players who play hard and win the championship have nothing to do with the front office who F…ed IT…. if the Cs win, they deserve it.
@@MoNehNeh17 no no no your wrong. You seem the story? It was not informed of the true extent of hip injury by the Celtics organization.
@@awc6007 You don’t “deserve” rings in the NBA. You win them!
Damn. Drazen petrovic. 😢
Klay thompson injured, back, then injured for about 2 seasons?!? Guys?!?!?!
For me Petrovic and Bias' death are not unlucky but rather tragic, should have also mentioned Reggie Lewis 😔
In T-mc's case , after retiring from playing, his final team, the Spurs won a title and T-mc wasn't with that team anymore 😅
I remember Reggie Lewis passing when I was very young, he was so great to watch and then he was just gone. Rest in Peace Reggie.
IT fucked up his own career. He should’ve gone to the injury list and not play injured. Specially for a team that traded so quickly.
I agree but you have to respect his love for the game
from my understanding the boston doctors said it wasn’t too serious and cleared IT to play… even though it was uncomfortable or painful he trusted the MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS to provide proper care……
but what’s the injury list??? where is it at since you said he should have gon to it? (im a kinda new fan so idk alot)
@@Fititif oh, I do. I am thinking more of the business side of it. I don’t blame him for playing. I just think that decision might’ve cost him millions. I think he will be fine if he play in other leagues around the world, or maybe invests in business opportunities. Is not like he suddenly went broke.
I send my condolences to the family and friends of the basketball players who lost their lives and my respect and sympathy for the players with bad luck I know what that is like the door opens then slime shut just before you see what's going on on the other side ✌️🇬🇧✌️
3:46...come on, man. You can do better than that.
Could you make a video about the NBA Lockout, I want to learn more about it
I don't see why Len Bias is in this list and why there is no reference about that his collapse was because of cocaine abuse. I know it is still unlucky but compared to guys that got their careers cut being professionals or died in a car accident... not fair.
I really thought Chris Paul was gonna be on this list you definitely could've tossed some jokes in there😂
I would’ve said Chris Paul was one of the most unlucky players ever… but after the last two years, he’s blown his chances to win a chip, despite luck favouring him, with constant injuries to opponent teams
@@lik7953 I agree, multiple chances after chances its actually surprising nobody knew that was gonna happen like wow. They're legacy is gonna take a big hit, they gotta do something big like go back to back to make up for this year in my opinion
To make it more unlucky, the Spurs win Championship in 2014 while T-Mac is already retired
I Agree with most of the list but I feel like there should be some other names on the list like:
1. Chris Paul
2. Markelle Fultz
3. Russell Westbrdook
4. Kristaps Porzingis
5. Mike Miller
6. RIP Hamilton
7. Kwame Brown
8. Jay Williams
9. Shawn Kemp
10. Jeremy Lin
This shows that the NBAis a tough place to be in.
Love Isaiah Thomas he's my favourite player still hoping for a comeback
Uhm sorry but while I’m all for optimism a comeback to the NBA at this point would be almost impossible. He even got some 10 day contracts this season because of COVID but he just isn’t a good enough offensive player to make up for his tiny frame
I like a good comeback story but he's not going to be elite anymore. He'll remain a journeyman the rest of the way.
@@enthusiastofcute He got a 1 year contract with the hornets and dropped 11 points in 10 minutes so I'm still hopeful but your 100 percent right about the tiny frame thanks for the reply
@@quiteknight50 Your probaly not wrong I don't think he'll ever start again
no matter who agrees or not, Linsanity is the most unluckiest player ever.
not really he had many chances after new york and could never replicate his good run but i agree that melo fucked him over due to his jealousy
thegreathutt True, but still, If Melo wouldn’t have been acting sillly, Lin wouldnt have even had to have “many chnaces after new york” he could have stayed in the city and environment that worked for him.
There are many players that do well on one team and not so well on other teams, some coaching and management systems just don’t mesh well with sone players personalities and play styles and skill sets.
That teammate of stokes is a good man. Who does that for someone who isn’t family let alone basically a coworker? Good for him.
They were the New Jersey Nets, not Brooklyn then.
This channels research is a joke effort on a good day. They claimed Bias died from a seizure when it was actually an arrythmia from a cocaine over dose.
Anderson Varejao has to be on this list, played for cleveland and lost in the 2007 finals, 2015 finals and then got signed by golden state in the 2016 season but then lost the 2016 nba finals against the cavs. I guess he still has a ring under his name because he played a few games with the warriors in the 2017 season before getting waived that season but still
RIP DRAZEN PETROVIC may you rest in peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️😭😭😭😭😭😭 we wish you were still here with us today may you rest in peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 and RIP to prime d rose may the prime d rose rest in peace we wish you were still here with us today may you rest in peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
9:45 - That's one way to tell the story. The other is that he overdosed on cocaine.
Bro you forgot Reggie Lewis. R.I.P
Tracy McGrady's story reminded me a lot of Spencer Haywood's in Winning Time, minus the drugs.
I miss Brandon knight but why he's poster dunk by deandre Jordan i remembered
Nothing will ever hurt more then the D rose injury 😢
Bill Walton. after the title with the Blazers he suffered several injuries missing several seasons (in the meanwhile he went to the Clips (in SD and LA - the latter for a single season), and in the end he had a comeback with the Celtics helping them to the 1986 title as a 6th man (6th man of the Year)
Every time I say yammed my kids look at me like I’m speaking alien 😆. Like a lot of stuff we said back then I guess lol.
Bias died from a drug overdose if you gonna tell the story tell all of it
I suggest people look into the Len Bias story if at all interested because it’s one of the saddest/craziest stories you’ll ever hear. I’m not sure if the way it was skimmed over here was intentional but it definitely doesn’t do it justice. ESPN has a doc on him called without bias
Elgin Baylor: Never won a ring despite being one the greatest scorer behind wilt back in 60's
Well he should've had one but he retired and eventually his team won in 1972.
He retired the very day the Lakers started their 33W streak (the longest in ANY pro sports ever)
why isaiah became john wall? haha
I love this channel
Can u do Tyler Hero
I would argue if you made it to the NBA you're pretty fucking lucky. How long you stay doesn't really matter. Your life will never be the same after you make it Pro, and will probably still have more advantage than most people in this world to succeed even without basketball.
I played against Greg when I was 15 in AAU. Man was dominant as fuck! His story breaks my heart the most cause I wanted him to be the next wilt chamberlain cause he dropped 40 something on us with over 20 rebounds and like 5 blocks
no Elgin Baylor? bro went to the finals 8 times and lost all of them and when he retired, his team won the same season lol that's tragic
Len bias did cocaine. Idk why that wasn’t mentioned but that’s not exactly a “luck based” occurrence
Damn thats crazy bout stokes😥
Boogie Cousin’s wasn’t unlucky he was just stupid, turned down a 9 figure deal after a serious injury smh
If benji Wilson made it a draft and even college he’d be up here
Isaiah Thomas was one of the craziest one because he was so close to getting a huge contract
Cousins and rose hit hard..
Before Ja Morant kids that weren't old enough to witness prime young D-Rose Bulls era. Derrick Rose was that guy 🏀💯
Slipping on sweat is not getting crossed up
He wasn’t unlucky he got done dirty
Jack Tywman is a hero, no other way to put it.
Do the story of Reggie Lewis please
Holy shit, I didn't know about Maurice Stokes... that shit's scary
Maurice stokes really did have a tragic.
I feel bad for IT. Now he actually has to think about not wasting his millions.
Guys im sorry but when i saw maurice stokes face i laughed too hard. IM SORRY IM SORRY im not a sadistic monster i swear
I still can't believe blazers took oden over durrant worst decision in nba history
Everytime I see DRose in this kind of videos it hurts to watch it.
4:58 I Hate to see Jidion on this list 😞
Brandon Roy should be on the list
I can’t believe you didn’t mention cocaine when talking about Len Bias. That’s why he died.
rip Maurice 😔
Scalabrine, bc they never let the goat shine
cousins was so fuckin good, its unfortunate
Do the highest paid athletes in this year!
Brandon Knight got showered by gatorade during a game
You mentioned him but Grant Hill could have his own spot here. Gotta suck when everyone refers to you as “he _was gonna_ be the next Michael Jordan.”
Hank Gathers ain't make this list but he was well on his way to the NBA.
len bias shouldve never over dosed on coke but that was a decision he made.
i don't think Drazen, Thomas, and T-Mac should even be considered on this list. unfortunate death and injuries happened, but these were all-stars. if injuries counts as unlucky, Penny, GHill, Brandon Roy, Jay Williams, should all be on this list. i'm pretty sure there are way more, but these are just ones popped right off my head.
Yeah, where is Jay Williams and Brandon Roy here? Grant Hill would absolutely be on here if he didn't reinvent himself as a shooter once he lost his explosiveness.
IT NEEDS A resurrection deal.
My heart will always ache for Rose n I.T.
So you're not going to mention that Glen Bias OD on coke?
Idk I give it to Brandon knight for actually going up. Although getting dunked on all the time it’s better than half these players who are scared to go up.
The tone of this video feels inappropriate. Especially on the entries where someone died
Not all heroes wear capes, some wear basketball shorts like Jack Twyman
