Times NBA Players Lost Control..



Times NBA Players Lost Control..

From getting chased by the police to sleeping with LeBron’s mom These are times NBA players lost control and first up I never thought i’ see a player throw away a 10-year career until I saw Draymond Green lose his mind see the last 15 years of draymond’s life have

Been nothing short of eventful however now it’s all about to change his 19 career ejections rank second all time trailing only Rasheed Wallace with 27 he kicked Steven Adams in the nuts got in scuffles with Bradley Beal well he even beefs with his lover boy LeBron James

You name it he’s done it but the crazy part of all six out of his 19 injections happened from December 2022 onward one of which the warriors were playing the kings in the first round of the playoffs when out of the blue Damon sabonis grabs draymond’s leg clearly illegal but once

Theonis finally let go Draymond retaliated in the most Savage way possible and Curry’s got the board green gets tied up and a technical has been assessed in other words instant ejection 7 months later he got ejected again only this time it was for going at it with Donovan Mitchell 4 days later an

Incident happened that never should have happened at all because against the Timberwolves an altercation broke out between Klay Thompson and jayen McDaniels it had nothing to do with Draymond but you know Draymond bro thinks he’s the third Splash brother he’ll do whatever it takes to look after

His brothers this is what I’m saying this is what I’m saying oh Dron has got goar and a choke CLE this is ridiculous it’s one thing to bicker but Draymond has 7 foot one Rudy gobear by the throat clearly this wasn’t a good look for the NBA but Adam Silver turned

The other cheek and only handed Draymond a five-game suspension safe to say he didn’t learn his lesson 30 days later on December 12th 2023 Draymond Green crossed the line again pass field just picked up his third foul and now green runs over nurkic and he’ll be called for

The foul and they’re going to take a look at this oh man well that’s going to be a play dang that was cold blooded bro really said f that man this left the rest with no choice but to kick Draymond out the game but the officials weren’t

The only ones to take action NBA Commissioner Adam Silver suspended Draymond Green and definitely worse yet Draymond Green lost the support of his coach Steve K cu the one who choked Rudy the one who took a a wild flail at at uh Yousef the one who punched Jordan last

Year that’s the guy who has to change and he knows that damn even Steve cerr is turning on him that’s his OG maybe bro knows something we don’t that’s when we decided to do some investigation and guess what we found a pattern so here’s the question what do Damon sabonis Rudy

Gober and Yousef nerkish have in common they are all European I know what Dre doing he’s taking care of these Ur rules one at a time does Draymond hate European players or is it just a giant coincidence mentally this dude has had enough but then when Kyrie Irving say oh

My mental health is off every everybody go crazy about that too do you not think that affects someone mentally at some point the players must be respected in these situations and it’s ridiculous and I’m sick of seeing it y’all have a great night I’ll see y’all tomorrow on the

Other hand the NBA’s response to the Josh giddy situation has been anything but expected see being a famous NBA player comes with a lot of perks not just making millions you are famous suddenly everyone wants to be your friend people will do anything to get on your good side there’s only one caveat

Not everyone wants to be your friend for the right reasons they want something in return some with pictures some with autographs and others well they want to ride you hey yo chill dog chill a few weeks ago Josh giddy was at a local pub in Oklahoma City enjoying the night life

Per usual although what transpired that night was anything but usual see this girl her name is Liv cook and she’s allegedly only a junior in high school that’s right a 21-year-old talking to an underage high schooler so naturally when a fan saw this interaction take place he

Took notice why on Earth was a 2 1-year-old talking to a 16-year-old at a pub he proceeded to videotape the situation to get the inside scoop and upon investigation his worst fears came true this wasn’t just an interaction with a fan bro was bricked up so this

Fan did what any enraged person would do he posted the footage on X for the entire world to see only once the world saw what happened fans were in disbelief in one of the videos giddy can be heard calling cook his girl before saying me

And my girl were about to head back to mine and worse yet Liv cook has all but confirmed the controversy hey guys I dated Josh I don’t think Josh giddy realizes the magnitude of the situation sleeping with a minor is considered statutory rape meaning that if he’s

Convicted giddy would serve at least 15 years in prison his whole career could be over just as it was getting started that said one fan figured out a massive loophole and he may have just saved giddy’s life as the fan pointed out Liv cook shouldn’t have been at the bar in

The first place if she’s indeed underage this means one of two things was possible either cook lied about her age to Giddy and got into the club with his influence or giddy would have met cook at the the bar meaning she got in illegally regardless it’s possible that

Josh giddy didn’t realize he was having a one night stand with a minor I mean come on bro you really had no clue this girl doesn’t need a one night stand she needs help with her bio homework that said giddy is yet to receive a suspension from the NBA so maybe this

Loophole is life’s way of giving Josh giddy a second chance but not all players were as lucky just as Antoine Walker he’s a 12-year NBA veteran who made quite the splash throughout his career he averaged over 17 points made three All-Star appearances and won an NBA championship in 2006 but most

Notably Walker secured the bad in 12 years as a pro he netted a whopping 108 million he thought he had enough money to last him a lifetime Walker grew up idolizing rappers like Jay-Z and Puff Daddy and now he wanted to live like them the cars clothes real estate Walker

Wanted it all in his playing days Walker didn’t just own one or two luxury cars he had five or six this included a mayback Mercedes-Benz which cost him over $450,000 I had five or six different cars but I had the most expensive cars and we talking about mentley Bentley’s

Maybacks uh Mercedes-Benz so a lot of highend things his taste in clothes wasn’t any cheaper Walker claims to have never worn the same designer suit twice but he didn’t just live the extravagant hip-hop lifestyle he wanted to help those who matter most family and friends after growing up in Chicago with a

Single mother Walker wanted to make sure his family didn’t struggle any longer so when money was no longer a concern Walker spent Millions to move 10 to 15 of his family and friends to better situations I would say you know 10 15 people I mean I took care of on a

Consistent basis outside of my family just friends traveling you know helping them out with their their needs and and things that their wants so it’s a combination of things that you go through to kind of eat up your money we travel we travel privately we travel

Stay in the best hotels I mean it’s a combination of things that you go through throughout your career while this generosity is heartwarming it came back to backfire he was an open ATM throughout his career sooner or later he couldn’t afford to stay in open ATM with a his lavish lifestyle and questionable

Purchases he was running out of money fast it also didn’t help that he adopted an equally toxic habit gambling within two years of retirement plus his real estate Investments weren’t doing much better the 2008 housing market crash caused his Chicago real estate firm to implode I lost the bulk of my money um

Investing in real estate um in which in 20072 2008 we went through the uh recession I’m sure this is a worldwide thing that we all went through and I got caught up in that web and that was that ultimately ended um the bulk of my wealth so you add those three things

Together um they played a huge part in me losing all my finances it was an endless cycle of poor decisions with money flying out the window left and right then in 2010 Antoine Walker revealed some heartbreaking news within two years of having it all in the NBA Walker had nothing he was completely

Broke in 2010 Walker declared bankruptcy since then he’s worked on FS1 as a basketball analyst to get back on his feet all that to say it’s a lot easier to change when you’ve hit rock bottom however fans hope that isn’t the case for Z Williamson he still has a

Promising career ahead of him but not if he continues to make poor decisions when the Pelicans drafted him first overall in 2019 Zion was one of the most hyped prospects in NBA history is Zion the best Prospect since the King LeBron James I think so Zion Williamson is a

Freak of nature what you’re looking at is a Manchild the likes of which you may not have seen since LeBron James but in the time since Zion has only played more than 30 Games once in his first four seasons in 2019 he underwent surgery to repair torn meniscus in his right knee

Causing him to miss a significant portion of his rookie season The Following Season he missed the final six games due to a thumb injury and if that wasn’t already enough he’d suffer another major scare ahead of the 2021 season this time it was a fractured right foot in other words this dude’s

Body was more fragile than Ben Simmons self-confidence so naturally at a certain point these injuries start to take a toll both physically and mentally so it’s mentally can can I do it y can I get out there and can I perform and I think that’s what that’s the big

Struggle physically he might be mentally sometimes is a even bigger hurdle to clear than being physically being able to go out there and do s job and in 2021 Zion was at his wit end while recovering from foot surgery the 66 forward balloon to 330 lb for reference the pelic

Official roster listed his weight at 284 lb that’s almost 50 lb heavier photo popped up of Zion recently yeah out and about okay he’s big in the community it’s a good DP phrase okay reportedly 330 lb come on now wow without basketball in his life Zion lost his way fans quickly doubted Zion

Williamson thankfully these doubts didn’t hold him back at the end of the day I can’t control what no grown man do can’t control what no grown adult does all I can do is uh control the things I can’t control lock in on myself lock in on my teammates coaches and everybody

With the Pelicans the city and and try to win in the off season leading up to the 2022 season bro trained tirelessly my man was working out two times a day for two months straight that dude says screw Cancun I’m living in the gym only one could argue that this was the

Greatest transformation since Thor and endgame sadly all the effort went to waste in 2022 he only managed to play 29 games and missed the majority of the season with a hamstring injury this brings us to present day Zion may be healthy right now but his weight is

Still a major concern after the Pelicans were blown out by the Lakers in the inseason tournament semi-finals people were quick to point out Zion’s way you look like you showed up to the game having just ate a buffet not something from the buffet I said the

Buffet like you ate the damn table in arguably the most important game of his career Zion was nowhere to be found from Outsiders perspective Zion looks too heavy and in a slow motion State compared to his college days Pelicans reporter Christian Clarks admits that Zion’s poor work ethic has been a source

Of frustration since they drafted him time will tell if Zion can improve his diet and conditioning but if not it may be the greatest $230 million heist in American history but gaining weight is nothing compared to what LeBron experienced growing up LeBron spent most of his life with a single mom his father

Was absent from his life due to his criminal history leaving his mother to raise him it hasn’t been easy for Gloria James she was able to provide for LeBron today he credits her for making him the man he is but what if I told you that one teammate almost put their mother son

Relationship in jeopardy because in 2010 all eyes were on LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers that was his final year under contract and fans expected big things from their Hometown hero the Cavaliers made the postseason Four Seasons in a row and the 20091 season would be no different there was only one

Problem not all of LeBron’s teammates had their eyes on the prize Delante West was too busy rising up LeBron’s mom so like just tell a little bit what did you actually uh do the glory of like what was it the golden Panther is that even

Real or is it real yeah man listen to me man people I’m talking about man that’s messed up it’s one thing to dat to Cougar it’s another to have sex with your friend’s mom and the worst part of it all the news broke during the postseason in the first round the

Cavaliers steam rolled over the Bulls in five games but in the next round the wheels fell off the bus they wound up losing to the Celtics in six games uh you know you want to continue to went throughout the postseason I mean um that’s what I gear myself towards and

Um you know the fact that it’s over now is definitely a surprise for myself but I mean it is what it is now that’s what you call look a defeat the dude lost the playoff series and the friend in just a few weeks speaking of which this incident was one of the many

Controversies surrounding Dante West little did fans know West personal life was falling apart in front of their very eyes in 2008 he faced multiple personal issues including a bipolar disorder diagnosis a year later in 2009 Wes started getting in trouble with the law he was arrested on September 17th 2009

After a police officer pulled him over for a traic traff violation upon arresting Delante West the officer found three loaded guns in his possession I’m happy that this this matter is finally resolved in behind me I want to thank my family my friends and all my fans my teammates and and and

The city of Cleveland and especially my legal counselor who done an amazing job of supporting me and just standing behind me through this this this rough time however soon that’d be the least of his concerns dur the 2011 NBA lockout he was waved by the Mavericks he would

Never play in the NBA again that’s when his life really started to spiral out of control he spend the next few years playing for multiple NBA D-League teams and playing overseas but none of that could save Delante West for what was ahead in February 2016 a fan spoted West

Wandering barefoot outside of Jack in the Box then 4 months later a photo of West emerged of him panhandling in Maryland he was homeless with no place to go in 2020 fans saw West at his absolute worst all why’ you hit him he attack you first with the off defense or

Did you hit him man I walk down the street you man approach me with an eye but with a gun where’s his gun at I don’t give a okay you know where his gun is I don’t give a that’s when Dallas Mavericks owner Mark cubin stepped in not long after he was spotted

Panhandling near Dallas Cuban offered to pay for his treatment at a drug rehabilitation facility fortunately it appears that things have improved since then he’s even got picked up by the big three a professional three Onre basketball league this brings us to the notorious Dennis Robin cuz in the middle

Of the 1997 1998 NBA season Robin did something unexpected Bro went to Los Vegas I come to practice Phil calls me and says uh look you know Dennis wants to tell you something Dennis says I need a vacation and I look at Phil said Phil what do you mean vacation he says he

Needs a vacation he needs some time off to let loose you look at Dennis say Dennis what are you going to do he say well I need to go to Vegas now if this was any other player a midseason vacation would be forbidden but since this is The Eccentric and

Colorful Dennis Rodman head coach Phil Jackson decided to let it slide only under one condition Dennis had to return within 48 Hours chances of that happening zero come back time he didn’t come back on time ready to go get his ass out of bed and I’m not

Going to say what’s in his bed where he was and blah blah blah there’s a knock on the door it’s Michael Jordan and I hid I I I I didn’t I don’t want him to see me like that so I like I’m just like hiding behind the couch with covers over

Me come on you we got to get to practice I’m not sure which is crazier Dennis is trip to Vegas or MJ going to his hotel room to personally drag him out of bed but you know what they say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas on the other

Hand teams are a lot more willing to put up with JN Moran’s Antics that doesn’t mean it’ll stay that way the drama first started in a 2022 pickup basketball game at jaran’s house where Temperance flared between John Moran and a 17-year-old Joshua Holloway only in this case both

Moran and Holloway were acting like kids and it all started with a simple basketball to the face the ball came hit me my face I flinched back like this so I’m like what you want like that how did you feel when he Showp you and and step back like that that’s

Fight he thought he want to fight you yeah did you think he was about to hit you yeah but rather than taking it like a man johnar channeled his inner dude perfect and turned into a rage monster unable to control his temper Morant lashed out at the boy leaving a large

Knot on the boy’s head soon after he went inside the house only to return with a gun tucked in his pants that’s right this bro was willing to end it all over a pickup game someone remind him this ain’t no Grand Theft a however Morant claims he was acting in

Self-defense he told the authorities that the teenager left shouting I’m going to come back and light this place up like fireworks if this is indeed the case John Mor may have gotten lucky but this luck won’t last forever see last season Morant made a a huge mistake he

Was sick and tired of losing and following a loss to the Denver Nuggets he took his anger to social media in the early hours of March 4th dur went live on Instagram from inside a nightclub that’s when his 9 million Instagram followers saw something they weren’t expecting showing a gun on Instagram

That’s the definition of getting caught in 4k this ain’t Nerf or nothing this is life and death allthough not according to John Moran just 2 months later bro did it again I bang I know that P at this point Mor left the NBA with no choice they suspended him for the first

25 games of the 2324 NBA season and not just that people were pissed whether he realized it or not his actions were bigger than basketball that’s when a group of activists acted out trying to make a statement about gun violence after Grizzly Star jawar was possibly

Flashing a gun in a video again it’s crazy to think that one person’s influence can make such a difference when you use your platform in the right way good things happen but when you use your platform to indirectly promote gun violence it negatively affects those around you but the saddest part of it

All my man use chat GPT to write his apology I mean this dude really issued the most generic apology in the history of apologies but who knows maybe John Moran is a chang man and if so this is the perfect chance to start using his platform for good no guns no fights with

Teenagers and more importantly no more chat GPT after all actions speak louder than words so if John Mor wants to get his career back on track he’s got a prove it which reminds me I can tell you why you should watch the video on the screen using words or you can just watch

The video and find out for yourself so if you don’t want to lose control like my man ja Wick click the video

  1. Nice vid! Not be an asshole but, the thumbnail is historically incorrect. That's Draymond and Jusef in it. It was actually Ron artest and James harden.

  2. See the reason why the draymond bugs me is because there is reason why he is doing it like any other player would do it if your being disrespected every time

  3. Not justifying Josh's behavior; but no one mentions the horrible parenting of the girl! No one holds social media platforms accountable for allowing minors to post adult content. Each individual is responsible for their decisions but let's not ignore all parties contributing.

  4. Idk what’s funnier, “BUT YOU KNOW DRAYMOND” or “bro think he the third splash brother” 😂😂

    Umm, so all the videos, the im dating josh and the I just fcked josh are from the same night?…. If not then that’s not a loophole

  5. The lebron nut chop, Sabonis stomp, Rudy choke hold and Nurkic punch all happened because they were messing with him or his teammates. Some other stuff happened because of triggers to

  6. nah thats not josh at fault. thats the clubs fault. they should have ID checks. its not a place for kids. its no different to her catfishing as shes pretending to be of age where everyone else is and should be

  7. Draymond is the leader of the Warriors. I assume people know this but, the way people are nowadays with sports information, I doubt everyone does. He's the heart and soul of the team, but sadly he's gotten out of pocket a little too much lately. However I will say this: vs the Kings, a tech shoulda been called right away on Sabonis and it woulda never happened. vs the Wolves, hello, Gobert is the biggest dude out there and he went for Klay's neck first. But Dray shouldnt have held on like that. But, yeah 5 games was deserved. Silver knows this kinda stuff is good for the league though! It gets ratings, it gets people talking. We needed Rodman, just like we need Draymond. Without him they'd never have been tough enough to have the success they've had.
