Lot of chit going on off the court too.
Like off of the map after being Allstar caliber. Two that come to mind for me......... Steve Francis and Victor Oladipo. These dudes went from stars to damn near not even playing a couple of years later. I realize injuries can derail a player, but some come right back to s om. Others just disappear.

Shaun Kemp.
Would have continued to be a yearly All Pro candidate.
Still wish the Celtics would have traded one of the Big 3 after Lenny Bias got murdered by Stern instead of disintegrating into irrelevance. 1988 - was just too painful to watch.
Kemp before the fatness
Pre-injury Penny
Pre-injury Brandon Roy
Ben Simmons fell pretty damn hard also. Dude used to be pretty good. Now?
If only that MF'er could shoot...he makes Magic Johnson look like Steph CurryBen Simmons fell pretty damn hard also. Dude used to be pretty good. Now?
Great passer , especially on the break, good defender, good post up game
Just leave him open and he becomes useless
Vin Baker
Michael Redd
Grant hill
Roy hibbert
Amare stoudemire
Andre Drummond
Hibbert is a victim of the evolution of the game tbh
We’ll be adding Wemby to this list in 2030. Hopefully yall get a ring before then. I’m rooting for you.
Olajuwan.
The term "great" is being misused here.
WE DONE WITH THE 90s!
Pretty sure after Luka becomes a Spur and Pop has a fatal accident in his wine room the path to another Spurs Chip will be set.
Then Luka can go off to donut bliss in the 2030s.
Get offin' the in' pot.
Grant Hill is brutal. My first favorite player I watched from beginning to fin.
Top defender on Contender playing 80 games a season at age 36-38
Steve Francis opening is a great one. I was deep into late 90s+ ACC. Stevie a transfer put Maryland back on the map. Sweaty Gary Williams. First guy I saw flying outta the dome on dunks. A handful of years later Maryland closed the deal winning the crown.
That was around the time of Iverson & Marbury. The game was so "Hero Ball" centered that these 'ballers' were the next best thing to Jordan/Jazz/Spurs.
Tangent - that's why when I think of the Spurs Dynasty it's Manu before Tony. But Parker was the Spurs biggest unlikely piece.
Well duh
Yep, he was a legitimate killer in every sense of the imagination brought to life who wielded his weapons with silencer locked for full effect.
I thought Jamal Mashburn would be a killer as a pro.
One of the best college ballers who was such a disappointment as a pro was Derrick Coleman. Dude was mega talented and could’ve been a star
All the great thuggin’ and buggin’ boons of the league fell off pretty hard with this tidal wave of Euro talent. Not only are they better than their melanated counterparts, but they are saving the league by actually playing in most of their games.
Was going to mention him
Could play inside, outside, strong; Barkley said that if DC cared a little more he could be the best player in the League ; DC's rebuttal : "lol look who's talking"
what a dumbass
And also by playing team basketball
