Jay Waz thats because T wolves are the crappiest franchise to ever be in the NBA. From the start till now, KG was just a light in big darkness and completely wasted his talent on that shitty team. Hope KAT won’t do the same mistake.

Well, there's a reason they put on incredible stats. And the reason is in the title of the video... they were on bad teams!! They have to do almost everything to win games. That's why Jordan had his best statistical seasons while the team were not good. The explanation of all of this numbers is 50% talent/ 50% context

Kobe and Paul, hell even DWade got their due & won titles before Father Time came and collected, making their runs as the prime options on their teams more memorable and special. Almost mythical to me. A.I. awwwww mane I wish and Barkley was in better situations in Philadelphia, both of them could of won a championship there, needed the right pieces.

I still remember watching Iverson play for John Thompson at Georgetown while I was in middle school, and the next year when he was a rookie I snatched up the Iverson and Kobe Topps Finest refractor rookie cards. I had my basketball card collection swiped away quite a few years ago, and damn did I have a ton of gems!! The memories remain however, nobody can take those away!!

Management played a big part or the players themselves too for not improving. Tmac and pierce were solid but makes you wonder why the team is somehow rebuilding even tho they had an allstar go to guy. Orlando tried with grant hill but got injured boston traded walker for raef lafrentz them traded him back those early 2000s teams were painful

"Legends". I get it. Which is why you didn't mention Kevin Love or LeBron James; because they wasted so much time with their respective teams, early in their careers. No negative comment from me. Good video, as always.

What about Vince Carter in the Raptors? Back in 2001/2002 he was still a top 5 player in the league. I remember it was sad to see him play for that DLeague level Raptors team against a super loaded teams like the Lakers. When they played against contenders pretty much 9 out of the 10 players on the court where more talented in the opposite team.

I do think these stars having their best individual seasons when their team was bad is because they simply didn't have any options on offense, e.g. mid-2000s Kobe wasn't any better as a player than 2008-10 Kobe (he was arguably worse, a big part of Kobe's greatness being his willingness to constantly improve his game season after season) but had better stats.

Bob McAdoo, That Guy was a Very Bad Man! Bob played for Buffalo (LA Clippers), New York, Boston, Detroit, New Jersey, LA Lakers, and the 76ers! He was the Stetch Center in the NBA even if he barely shoot the 3! "He was 3x Scoring Champ, 5x All Star, MVP, All-Star MVP, 3x He Averaged Over 30+ Points in a Season, 3x All-NBA Winnings (One of the First to Win that Award), 55% Career True Shooting, & 2x Champs!" Was Certainly the First Stretch Center to Plays, even if he Barely Shoot the 3s Points-Ball! (1972-1986)

"wasted-" i whole heartedly disagree. the 80's and 90's were different eras. it was a different time then. those men WANTED all the pressure. they WANTED to be "THE MAN" and it translated into great performances and very few regrets. d-wade was actually happy in miami- and he knew any team with pat riley was gonna win eventually. KG had starbury- and wally world too. but steph wouldnt stay put. as for kobe buckets- any man with 5 rings- didnt "waste" much...
