The part that messed up Kwame's career in the beginning was Jordan unretiring again. The team went from being all about building everything around Kwame to we gotta win now because Jordan is back.
Agreed
the way jordan treated him was probably what caused him to be such a bust, if he had treated him poorly from the start it couldve toughened him up. Treating him nicely at first and then suddenly snapping into harsh treatment will do a huge toll on an 18 year old kid
Agreed. Although he gives Jordan credit, anyone with eyes and a heart can still understand what goes unsaid.
Kwame Brown was a bust because he sucked. Not because Jordan "mentally abused him".
@@jonathansykes4986 and bro we all know you don't talk trash to MJ LOL especially as someone who hasn't prove much yet
@@jonathansykes4986 man I aint saying he didnt suck im just saying he wouldve sucked less if jordan didnt make him put his guard down before talking shit
He's a legend for busting the beast in the mouth. Made the gag flinch, had ctg apologizing. There's a game bigger than basketball. From barefoot and dirt roads to the ppls champ. He loves his ppl yet doesn't preach division or hate. King Kwame is the goat and I'm a white Jew saying that. I respect him and Kyrie. Legends
Kwame played with Jordan, Kobe and Curry he's made it to the NBA regardless of his tough upbringing and played 12 years in the league if that's considered a bust I wanna be a bust sign me up 🙋🏾♂️
If you are the number 1 pick people expect something from you, kwame didn't meet any of those hence the "bust" You don't get drafted as top 1 just to be happy to be in the NBA
Big Men at that time were like old furniture you been planning to get rid of but forget too. That explains Mr Brown's longevity. He made no team better or filled that missing piece acquisition position. He was simply an Overpaid NBA Practice Squad Player..
Yeah he's definitely not a bust... He should thank his agent for being able to find teams that was willing to pay him for his size in 12 years...Those teams definitely would prefer to have a scrub "number 1 overall pick big man" than an undrafted or second round scrub... but make no mistake, Kwame Brown...God bless him... Is A Scrub 😂😂😂
Ok he was still a bust
It to mention almost 70 million bucks in salary during that time.

I lived there during Brown's time with the Wizards. I don't blame him one little bit.
Jordan was hired to be the team's president. It was assumed--wrongly--that a guy that talented would be able to re-build the franchise. But it was a horrible decision by the owner to hire him.
And then, of course, he couldn't help but put himself on the roster. Slower and less vertical, he was a shadow of himself. (Of course, in his case, that's pretty good.) But his second huge mistake was in drafting Brown. Yeesh. How could anyone take this kid #1? No one thought it was a good idea.
Yes, Brown was a draft bust. But he had a very serviceable NBA career. The real bust was not in Kwame's performance, but in Jordan's. And when Jordan finally retired from playing? He was unceremoniously shown the door as president. Tolerating him was no longer necessary.
thinking players are good at running teams is such a stupid notion. players dont even make good analysts
Kwame would prove to be a competent defender later on but definitely he didn't earn the right to be chosen #1. Maybe his situation would have been different if he chose to go to college and get drafted from there?
Or.....of jordan didn't decide to pick him. I dont think he was a bust......I also dont think it's his fault for being picked first. And when the god of basketball picks you, all eyes. I think anyone who the wizards picked number one that year would always be under the microscope
then he's a bust lol
He definitely earned the "right" to be number one. Go watch his high school film. Shit was ridiculous.
can't blame him going straight if they were poor
@@Bruss813 he looked good in high-school cause he was bigger than everyone. As soon as the competition was just as big and stronger he couldn't live up to expectations
Definitely a fair analysis of Kwame NBA career. I'd take his NBA career over a lot guys.

Kudos to him for making his life better and not following into the footsteps of the bad people around him. Rest I leave to the woman that passed away.
Wizards fan here, yes. I've seen the dude play live prolly like 10 times. He sucks. Never played with any heart. Always got owned.
your franchise sucks ass more than kwan low
Exactly!
Really unfair and narrow minded assessment considering how harsh Jordan and the staff were on him.
If you were in his position honestly, you would have done way worse than what he did.
Kwame Brown should had never been drafted first overall in the draft. That was a bad selection.
If Brown was selected after... people would had stopped to put absurd pressure on his shoulders.
Jordan and Washington coaching staff destroyed his confidence and forced him to practice for 2h30 hours before games (he was 18 years old at the time).
If he chose to go to College, maybe he could had been able to handle the situation. You're better at handling stressful situations in your twenties.
Who knows?
agreed
Few people will thrive under that kind of pressure. Jordan and Kobe have that kind of mentality, but most people don't. Jordan was wrong to treat him that way, and should have had more of a mentor relationship with him. I would have struggled a lot if i was treated that way, and did in the military with the drill instructors.

You are misinformed. If you listen to some of these nba player's podcast Kwame Brown went number one for a reason. You don't know what your talking about.
@@quinnmartin9937
The selection of Kwame Brown by the Washington Wizards, over players that have gone on to have more successful NBA careers, has been a source of great criticism by numerous media outlets.
Fans weren't pleased with the decision neither...
At the times, media members weren't convinced by highschoolers jumping straight to the NBA.
Kwame wasn't a complete bum like Anthony Bennett or Hasheem Thabeet, but he was definitely a bust. He didn't live up to his expectations and was picked ahead of much better players like Tyson Chandler, Pau Gasol, Joe Johnson etc. Kwame at his best was a decent role player. He was a good interior defender and solid rebounder, but he never came close to being a star.
Mike's treatment probably didn't help. But he also DID have bad work ethic and MULTIPLE teammates not named Kobe or Mike have commented on it. And he didn't have the talent of a first rounder at all.
That said, I do think if he had actually gone to college and played 3-4 years, he probably would've been a 15-8 guy for his career in the NBA.
Soft
He was a career 6.6pts 5.5 rebounds by not spending 3-4 yrs in college and made 64 million on a 13 yr career... id say those extra 3/4 yrs doesn't out way his earnings potential IMO
I was in middle school when Kwame was drafted to the NBA. I missed out on his time as a ball player. After watching his old clips and hearing his side of the story. This is one of the most fair assessments I've seen to date💯
This is my Unsolicited Observation: Kwame was and is very much about his family. For some ppl, its incredibly difficult to disconnect from those they are close too and it effects them deeply when they are separated from their environment. He's excellent at Glynn Academy due to his skills but also everything he was connected to was right there in Brunswick. He didn't have to worry about his family either b/c he was right there to take care of them, especially his mother. Going to the Washington Wizards took him away from what mattered to him the most, his family. At 19 yrs old, being that he was the most stable and dependable sibling at the time, he probably felt alot of stress being away from his family. Also the pressure to live up to the expectations of Michael Jordan was just an added on pressure (and frustration). It had to be difficult for him to concentrate on NBA basketball if his heart and mind was focused on his family back in Brunswick, GA. Kwame Brown was his own stability but being a human being, he couldn't make last. No one can remain a solid rock around a thunder of choas... you will turn into gravel at some point.. I don't think ppl stop to realize how life's circumstances can impact someone. They will say don't make excuses for Kwame Brown but at the same time you cannot control life, it controls you. Being that young, one could only imagine the troll it took on him.
🤣Jokes.
@@AprilHarmony9 lebron james became a dad at 19. I don't wanna hear shit lol
To be fair yes he was a bust in comparison to his nba peers at that draft number, but he did make it to the NBA. Granted it was out of high school and he was physically blessed with height and athleticism.
Love the video Nonstop Sports thank you.
Tbh, i reckon its more like a disappointment, dude still stayed in NBA for years. To me anthony bennet is the true bust, he was not injured, hes just bad
Coming from such a harsh upbringing the berating he suffered in his rookie season right out of high school probably broke him.
I agree that Kwame Brown was not a bust. Dude played 12 NBA seasons.
Plating 12 seasons doesn't mean you aren't a bust.
What about Shawn Bradley he was the number 2 pick and 13 seasons? He average 8 points and 6 rebounds for his career and stayed getting dunked on.
@@bobbytatum84 He must have been doing something right to have played 13 seasons.
@@basketlockerball He was 7'6".
@@basketlockerball his height. Plus he was traded alot during the remaining years of his career due to his contract and nobody wanting to deal with that
Dude came outta Hs and balled with two of the fiercer competitors there has been in history
Manne if he really said that that is the sorriest shit I've ever heard "don't pass me the ball" WTF!!!
I believe he was not a bust, he didn't not live up to his 1st pick hype. But plays hard, plays like steven adams but gets the job done. Protect the paint, secure the rebound
That's what he calls himself! If someone calls THEMSELVES dumb me saying they're smart isn't going to help if they believe they're not!!!
That's the definition of a bust. Like when you have a stacked nba team and they say championship or bust. Not meeting the expectations of a number one overall draft and playing like a late 2nd round pick.
Great video 🔥🔥🔥
Damn he actually told kobe don't pass me the ball im nervous what NBA player says that.
Ben Simmons
He told Kobe that and made demands with Gilbert Arenas too. He told Gilbert not to give him the ball on the first 3 plays so he can warm up each game. This dude was a hot mess
Kwame Brown should have entered college first before entering the NBA in order to understand his playstyle and his strengths by his college coaches so once he stepped in the NBA court, he's ready.
Kwame walk so that Bennett can run.
12 years 64mil overall salary, most of the time a starter, and I think with the bobcats (funny enough for MJ again) one year he was not selected but was considered for 2nd team all defense, if you took the 1st overall pick away, that's quite a solid career, but you can't change history, he was the 1st overall pick and because of that a bust, but he is way better than the real busts like candyman and Bennett
Don't pass the ball to me Kobe 🤣🤣🤣
Top notch delivery from this guy
Let's start give this man his flowers
Kwame became the peoples champion this off-season
OMG @notstop sports do not give Kwame an out by saying it was Jordan's fault... Kwame had a decent career but as a number 1 overall draft pick he was definitely a BUST.

@@MigIgg what was the point in your comment? You just said what I previously said. Do you like repeating what people say?
all the background and jordan story is irrelevent. several gms, coaches, and team mates said the guy was lazy on the court, skipped practices(even got suspended for it, which booted him out of the wizards), did not work on improving, and came with a list of instructions to play with him (like dont pass me the ball the first 2 plays in need to warm up). lets not kid ourselves, he was clowned for a reason
His youtube fan's will probably lose there minds if they saw this post.
Don’t pass it to me I’m nervous 😭😭
Best nfl trios of all time video 👀
Yes. A lot of that draft class became all stars even in the 20s/30 pick like gilbert arenas and Tony parker.. and kwame brown has 0 accolades
With that childhood you can call him anything but soft.
Anthony Bennett: Hold my beer
I don’t know why dudes act like Kwame Brown gon take them to a grown man dinner just cause they said he wasn’t a draft bust. I don’t understand what him buying his mom a house got to do with him being a draft bust.
@@GDCDGC I feel like they do. They’re just losers. So they take the to defending a man who didn’t lose in life but just didn’t succeed as much as people thought he would. Damn kill us for thinking he’d be a better player.
@@eazymb. ''Damn kill us for thinking he’d be a better player.''
Kawme shouldnt be drafted in the top 10 in the draft, his talent was limited.
In the best situation if he worked hard he could be a Myles Turner averaging 12-14 ppg and 8-9 rpg. Thats all he could be if he reached his limited potential.
It was lame and stupid that Wizards office drafted him first, those people in Wizards office that year are losers and clowns, they dont know how to see talent
Yes he was a bust, outside of Anthony Bennett, you could argue kwame is the 2nd worst 1st pick in modern NBA history since scouting became a thing, its between him and michael olawakandi or however u spell that guys name. As one of the worst 2-3 first picks in NBA history with no injury excuse, u are a bust, with that being said he shouldnt be continuously clowned on for it
Agree and agree. 👍
Micheal Olowokandi is up there too
Idk how a guy who played 11 seasons in the nba could be called a bust was he worthy of the number 1 pick nope was he a solid nba player yes he was Anthony bennet was a bust never did anything was out the league in 2 years that’s a bust Kwame wasn’t a bust
@@litodat233 Kwame was a bust dawg because he was picked #1. When you're picked that high everybody has high expectations for you. He just couldn't handle the pressure since he wasn't mentally prepared for the pros coming out of high school
he was injured the majority of his career, research please
MJ perfectly set-up his another comeback in choosing kwame brown as the #1 pick
The fact that Michael Olawokandi has more total points, rebounds, and almost double the blocks -- yet played less years in the NBA is one of the many reason Kwame Brown is one of, if not THEE biggest bust that should've never gone #1 in the NBA! Under the tutelage of the GOAT and he didn't take advantage of every opportunity, like say another high school draftee - Kobe Bryant would've?? Inexcusable!!!
If your greatest NBA achievement is that you were the 1st HS player to get picked #1 in the NBA draft, yet you don't come close to what a 1st round pick is supposed to deliver, then Stephen A. Smith and anyone else has EVERY RIGHT to go to high schools and colleges to deter them from attempting the same. Stay in school, not to become the next Kwame Brown, but the 1st of whatever YOU are good at.
He still made it to the nba fresh out of hs and came out the gutters. Not bad for someone who didn’t get to practice in college
Still a bust by the standard of being a number 1 overall pick.
Kwame gonna make a video about this….
🤣😂
I don't think there are a lot of scenarios where Brown becomes a great player, but considering this is the first time that Michael Jordan seems like he has a team that's better than 1st round cannon fodder, its fair to assume he might be part of the problem.
Yawn
I wonder what some of these players back then would’ve been with the g league being able to play there more then the nba
He was a bust, absolutely. Yes he was good enough to hang around the league for a long time, and for that he should be very happy. That said, when you're taken at the top of the draft, more is expected than just "hanging around". I'm sorry the bust label bothered him, but it's fair. He can console himself with his millions. He'll be alright.
He's a legend for busting the beast in the mouth. Made the gag flinch, had ctg apologizing. There's a game bigger than basketball. From barefoot and dirt roads to the ppls champ.

@@arrisgordon17 amen brother
Kwame played with arguably the 2 worst teammates of all time mj and kobe and I'm imaging how toxic those training sessions are.
Kobe received the same treatment when he joined the Lakers as a 17 year old. In his rookie whenever Kobe dunked during the game, no laker player would cheer nor applaud and Kobe wasn't expected to receive any cheers from them. He even carried and moved his teammates luggage during travels as a rookie.
Very objective and fair take, love it! Kwame was just in the wrong place and time, which is such a pity. But many other star players have dropped worse off the cliff. The fact KB survived for many years in the NBA despite never becoming a star is testament to his better mindset than some of the bums we see today (Ben Simmons much?). After he retired, he did not cry or write some sappy memoir about his time in the league to disparage his bullies and those who shat on his name. Up until in recent years when his name was dragged again through the mud by today's hot-take "analysts" and media loudmouths. Now a grown Kwame is showing he is just as good at this internet troll game as anyone else. But imagine, if he had gone to a team like today's Golden State or San Antonio, what he might have become. I do not think KB deserves the shit he gets, or the vitriol with which we call him a bust. There are many players who have lived up shorter to expectations, and some of them destroyed their own careers despite having everything going for them, simply due to character issues. It feels like Kwame was really in a bad situation, made the most of what he got, and lasted in the NBA as a role player. That's better than 99% of all ballers can manage worldwide.
Anthony Bennett is the God of Bust, but Kwame Brown is the definition of Bust. Hahahaha. Nobody talks Bennett because Kwame is loud. Lol
Kwame still carrying them bags under his patch eyes. 😂
This is the best fair and unbiase video on this topic.
imo a good idea for a "How Good/Bad Were They" episode would focus on 2 players - Greg Oden & Sam Bowie. Both were drafted #1 & 2 overall respectively by the Portland Trail Blazers. Each were big men with questionable health. Both were expected to be keystone pieces on championship contending rosters. And both were mired by lower body injuries leading to them becoming busts for the Blazers. There are some in Portland who've been saying for decades that the franchise is cursed for having taken Bowie over Jordan. Only for the franchise to repeat the same mistake by taking Oden instead of Durant.
Both of those guys Oden & Bowie both had careers hampered by injuries
Kwame didn't have those issues, Kwame was lazy and refused to work hard
Kwame needed 3 years of College Ball as do many of the NBA Players that play with bad fundamentals & make bad decisions in-game
Tim Duncan played 4 yrs in College, entered the NBA as a Rook with damned near perfect fundamentals
In fact the NBA needs to go to a 3yr rule like the NFL has, let guys grow physically, and learn how to play fundamental, solid basketball
@@johndooley5928 completely agree with u about the 3 yr rule. i know i'm in the minority as most ppl want these players to be free to get paid whenever the opportunity arrives. But with the new NIL policy(which is another topic i have some issues with) maybe that will alleviate some of the financial desires. imo - the benefit of spending a few years in college gives these kids some time to adjust to a new environment away from home, get some education under their belts, & raise their basketball iq. Plus, as a college B-Ball fan i really don't like the "one & done" scenario. It's like you don't even get to know these players' personalities or playstyle before theyre gone. Shaedon Sharpe didn't play a single game for Kentucky. He just sat on the bench all season & then got picked 7th overall in the draft.

Wow this man went through hell and back and all those haters had the nerve to make fun of him. I guess it's true what they say it's the quiet ones you got to look out for. The fact that he made it to the NBA and got his family out the hood is a success story in it's self
No one cares about his personal life. He sucked on the basketball court. Period
Yawn
A good man indeed!! It’s impossible to Superman as Jordan expected. He gave what he had, and that was good enough. A job well done Mr. Kwame!
Damn. You obsessed with him huh??
yea he was a bust no disrespect but bro wasn’t good even if the whole Jordan thing happened he was still the number overall pick and he didn’t live up to it.
Please do “How bad was Dwayne Haskins?”
Uh..
He might’ve been a bust but to be able to stay in the NBA for 12 years and not once have to go overseas to make a living and play ball over there, I gotta give his props for that at least. There’s a lot of busts that stopped playing in the nba after 3 years or left and went overseas after 4 seasons. so for him to be a rotation player for years was dope!
Mj did kwame dirty
Hey, man. To come outta that situation and making it as far as he did.
I called that success.
Yow y'all should do more vids on baseball and cycling
The end was very wholesome
That Detroit quote is crazy
He's a bust . Dude would have one game where he scored 20 points and 15 rebounds and then go to sleep for 20 games then score again 20 points 15 rebounds he did that for his whole career. He knew how to work the system or an 11-year career . Had coaches and gms thinking they could coach him and get that consistent 20 and 15 game to game. 64 million dollars later . Jokes on the teams who paid him.
When Kwame had big games, they were big games, but even though he only averaged 7ptd he was blocking and rebounding, and his size changed shots. They were intangible stats you don’t find big guys who could move like he could.

Kwame looks like Jordan. Wonder if Jordan saw himself in kwame in any way because of that. I agree kwame had a successful career. Most of us won’t ever touch the amount of money he made as an nba player and I doubt the majority of players stayed in the league as long as he did.
Is it just me or did kwame look exactly like Jordan 🤣🤣🤣

As a #1 pick absolutely. But he never should have been a #1 pick, Jordan dropped the ball on that one.
MJ GOAT when it comes to playing basketball but subpar when it comes to scouting talent
Brown grew up homeless and in a broken family. He played 13 seasons in the NBA (average NBA career is 4.5 years). He made over $60 million dollars. The only legal trouble came over an edible.
He's a success.

You made a 10 minute video for a something that took 10 seconds. The answer is yes.
Kwame should have gone to college and developed his game. I personally despise the whole one and done thing. I think that in so many cases you have talented young players being told how high they will go in the draft, when in reality their game needs the discipline and development that a couple of years of college will give them.
How do you feel about the money he made and how he was able to support his family? Do you work? Are you more concerned about your work performance or if there is another job that will pay you alot more to do what you do? Money over everything or is sports and performance your whole world? Did you see his life story? smh clowns out here talking like there is not a real world, bills, family,responsibilities, is real. This man was 7ft able to play basketball(our hobbies) and able to enter the draft to make millions to support his family. But NO you think he should have went to college risk getting hurt which he did in the NBA and lower his draft selection which would effect his money. He won...YOU lost

It’s crazy to think Jordan wasn’t even a top 15 player when he came back with the wizards
If he wasn't the first pick he wouldn't have caught half of the flack he does lol, he was good enough to stick around for 13 years so that's an accomplishment. Mentally of course coming in having to work with Jordan, especially with the added pressure of being Jordan's draft pick wasn't good for him. If he got drafted 3rd it would take a ton of heat off him
Geez the history of some these dudes...
Kwame fanboys incoming in 3.2..1
Anyone playing with Jordan at that time would have it tough.
Pretty much and like u said ANYONE it wasn't just Brown 🤣
Why Tyson chandler look like jay crithc in that photo 🤣🤣
nobody cares about why he didn't pan out to live up to the #1 pick. the fact is, he didn't, and that makes him a bust.
Glad to see you giving Kwame some love. Jordan was at fault by selecting him #1 overall then absolutely demoralizing his confidence. Imagine being 18 and the GOAT of your craft just shits on you everyday you show up to work?
Oh whoa is Kwame "Bustlife" "Doo Doo" Brown. 🤦🏽 Kwame is lazy. "If, if, if, if, it, if" Jesus, is anything Kwame Brown's fault? Unreal
I really hate the "BUST" label 🏷......I think it's often a lazy way to over simplify a person's career, every year there are 50+ NBA players who are drafted and very few even become starters for their franchise....... 🤔 face it, it's extremely hard to get into the upper echelon of the league.
That's why there's scouting my friend. They don't just pull names out of a hat. A lottery pick has usually been heavily scouted by coaches, gms, go to workouts , scrimmages, etc. There drafted high because they have enormous upside. In kwames case only reason he wasn't starting day. 1 was because he had sports asthma from never working out hard. He wasn't in shape cardio wise
He really destroyed Tyson chandler? That’s petty amazing considering how elite he was.
He got bullied by a 40-year-old has been. LMFAO! Fuking loser NBA player and looks like he's an even bigger loser now, rallying all the dumb-down elementary school watermelon people in his comments section who can't write a functional sentence to save their life LMFAO

Actually Anthony Bennett and Darko Milicic are the biggest bust, right along with Adam Morrison
Yes definitely a huge bust for 1st pick. No need for a 10min video on this
Okay he wasn't a bust, but he didn't live up to expectations of being the number 1 pick because he still played 13 years and he went to The G.O.A.T Michael Jordan and then got traded to the 2nd best shooting guard Kobe Bean Bryant
Not living up to expectations of being a top pick is the literal definition of a bust. Most people associate being a bust to being trash at basketball. Kwame lasting 13 years means he isn't as bad a peoppe make him out to be, however, he is a bust. But don't get it twisted, most people would want to be in his shoes.
@@dubbyu4286would u say he is the worst because I wouldn't that belongs either to Anthony Bennett or LaRue Martin Michael Kandi Man
@@dubbyu4286 Stephen A Smith has something to do with that. He kept calling him a scrub in his shows for years so he slowly earned the reputation of a scrub to the audiance.
Kawme's case is different than many other players in the No. 1 pick, he probably had the least amount of talent in NBA history when comparing No.1 picks
