this is currently, not of all time.
who has taken the God given talent they have and done the absolute least with it?
1. Tyrus Thomas (mediocre bench player with superstar athleticism)
2. Gerald Green (T-Mac ability with zero brain, starting NBA player talent and isn't even in the league right now)
3. Mike Conley (should be Tony Parker 2.0 by now)
4. Marvin Williams (nothing more than a decent player, has All-Star level skills & tremendous athletic ability)
5. Michael Beasley (Kevin Durant minus a brain)
this is currently, not of all time.
You forgot Anthony Randolph.
Lamar Odom
Cliche thing to say. Lamar does so ing much for the Lakers. He obviously never turned into Lebron or something but he's really good.
Jefferson
He did pretty well for his career, don't let his tenure with the Spurs fool you.
Baron Davis.
I can't believe Kwame Brown hasn't been mentioned
Anthony Randolph isn't wasting his talent, Don Nelson is.
1. Boris Diaw - Biggest waste of talent I've ever seen in my life. Could have been one of the most complete players in the league, but chose instead to be a lazy, fat loser.
our very own tim motha in thomas was held in such high regards back in the day to get a huge extension with the bucks, then he promptly not only never filled his shoes but regressed
Tyson Chandler sons.
Six months ago this honor would be called the Zach Randolph Award, so you never know, but I'll go with Mr. You Know You Want to Touch It Dave
Josh Howard has to be mentioned. Amare Stoudemire as well. Stoudemire should be a top 10 player instead of the 2nd Banana Robin type that he is.
that guy has no talent to begin with.
- earl smith
Shaq for his career has to be mentioned. With his size, skill and talent, he should've been the best player of all time. Three les as a #1 guy and one as a #2 guy is pretty substantial underachieving.
gilbert arenas, incredible scoring ability up there with anyone in the nba, yet has the BBIQ and real life IQ of a chimpanzee whose been struck in the head with a baseball bat multiple times
JJ Re can sure shoot
...and that's about it?
yes this is true, he is the single biggest freak/physical anomaly probably in league history... he got the numbers he has on his sheer size and physical ability alone, if he were able to develop some actual basketball skills (shooting the ball, free throws) even to the level of a high school player he would be the all-time scoring leader already and would have several more les as well.
I'm pretty sure Red being in the NBA and getting rotation minutes for a 50+ win team is overachieving, since he has a D-League game.
yeah true
A guy like Jason Kidd is still pretty good because of his fundamentals and skills, even though his athleticism has declined. Shaq is still a pretty good player, but he never developed the post game that would still make him an elite player. Now he's just old, slow and fat. He just relied on his strength, size and incredible quickness for a guy of his size, and now that's mostly gone.
Is Stromile Swift even still in the league?
The mutha in Stro Show.
Like a lot of players, he's found a niche in the NBA by doing one thing extremely well.
Amare Stoudemire Career Stats:
21.1 PPG, 8.9 RPG, 1.4 BPG, 54.2% FG
Amare Stoudemire Playoff Stats:
25.1 PPG, 10.4 RPG, 1.9 BPG, 52.4% FG
36 Playoff games, 22 of which were played against Tim Duncan, arguably the greatest defensive big man of his generation.
Stoudemire has the potential to be a better player than he is during the regular season, but I think he plays at his peak during the playoffs. To say that he's a complete waste of talent is idiotic, and borderline insane.
