Larry Sanders was in his prime and just signed a $44M contract when he decided to quit basketball. This is a look at why Giannis’ starting teammate gave a ton of money back and walked away from the NBA.

  1. Love the content and the focus on mental health. Feels like a classic AM Hoops deep dive video!

  2. Love the vid. You did mention he played basketball again with the big 3 and overseas. But I think it was worth a mention that he had a failed nba comeback return with the Cleveland cavaliers in 2017.

  3. Thought I was coming for another fun/informative basketball video but came away all emotional. Props to Larry Sanders for making the choice that he did and all of the stuff he's been able to do because of it!

  4. Just me personally – I haven’t watched the last two episodes purely because with the off-season I’ve strayed away from NBA content. So would provide a vote for nothing personal with the videos, but solely due to off-season fatigue. However I will definitely watch them eventually! Also very much enjoy the story videos.

    Also P.s really admire a content creator taking time to ask feedback and acknowledge how they could do better

  5. Dude got contract and said fuck basketball my lazy ass wanna smoke weed and be a rapper……and when payments of contract ended…dude was…hey NBA teams my love for basketball returned…..

  6. It's laughable that the NBA even tests for pot. That truly is unbelievable. Alcohol is many times more dangerous and harmful yet they clearly don't test for that. Dumb.
