Draymond isn't disrespected, he's disrespectful lmao
😂😂facts
Ik u joking lmao…. It’s definitely atleast both
🎉7@@theophilusjones6024
When you are pissed with Draymond, he knows he does a pretty good job haha
@@dostseiYes, being a liability to his own team and making even Steph frustrated is a job well done... Nah, he has to stop being such a hard-head, he is not that good anymore he can be so proud getting suspensions etc., dude is propably not gonna get a new contract if he still is going for the amount he was talking about, the dynasty is over and only Curry is worth keeping at this point tbh...
Most of the disrespect is deserved. I respect their talent for sure but they have or had questionable habits that need acknowledgment. At least with Dwight Howard, he redeemed himself by taking a lesser role with the Lakers and winning a championship in 2020. He wasnt a superstar anymore but played a key role. Still athletic and was in the best shape of his life.
He should still be in the league as a bench player, it's absurd there are players way worse still on the league but Dwight is playing the other side of the planet...
As good as Draymond was....I'll always remember him for kicking,choking,stomping on opponents and constant whining. Just cannot stand him. I wish he didn't behave like a toddler so I could've really appreciated what he contributed to the league.
I genuinely love the recent redemption arc for Russ, he's gotten more love from fans and that clip of him talkin with the reporter has been circulating for a while. He's a good dude who works his ass off and put up some monster seasons, he's flawed but does what he does well, well. The only bummer right now is for him to get a ring, Harden has to get one too....
I need the Warriors +\- when it was just Draymond on the floor.
😐😐😐
warriors had the worst record in 2019-20 szn with both steph and klay out and draymond still in
@@rbloafee yeah almost it’s bc they we’re missing klay and Steph and most players on that roster are no longer in the nba
that would be stupid since he's not a scorer.
You have to remember that that version of James Harden has the only chance to beat the best team ever assembled in the history of NBA. No other team went close than the rockets and the beard.
they shot themselves in the foot in that game 7, such an anomaly of a game
Sadly they choke horribly in game 7
He choked. No one cares
@@Disxreetthe fact that that game 6 or game 7 was even remotely close with no Chris Paul speaks to Harden’s greatness
Everyone saying they choked but the warriors literally fouled every single time and Scott foster fucked them
Draymond Green has never been a superstar. He might have been an all star, key to the Warriors dinasty, a very good player that can do a lot of things on the court and a star in his role. But he has never been a superstar by any metrics. Not as a player and definitely not as a charismatic face of the league
I wasn't expecting Joel Embiid to make the list. Trae Young, Zion Williamson and Ben Simmons not making this list was more surprising to me. It's definitely understandable why those 3 are disrespected players.
I think he only wanted to showcase more “veteran” players who have won major awards (MVPs, DPOYs) and/or championships
@@Yandeezy oh yeah, you're right
We really got triple single on this list 😂😂😂
and?
We also got a 4 ring on this list 😂
@@jasonc3303 Robert horry > MJ right?
Draymond is a dirty player and a bus rider
And the reason they have 4 rings, what a bus rider😂🤡
He's not. Hes the conductor of that bus.
@@Ill.righteous31he never said he wasn’t.. get out your feelings angry man.
He's definitely a dirty player, don't know nor care about the bus driver silly thing. He did a lot of things for those championship teams
No Draymond = No rings
It’s time to stop making excuses for Embiid and start blaming him for not taking care of his body
Not like he plays well in playoff series when he's actually healthy either.
Durant deserve all the disrespect. Dude was the most loved player before leaving OKC. Men he betrayed Russ and Join a 73 win team, everytime I think about that signing it always pissed me off, and I was big fan of KD in OKC.
As a warriors fan he completely tainted our reputation. No one takes the 2015 ring seriously let alone 17 and 18. All were known for is the greatest choke job in sports history and Tatum gift wrapping us a ring
@@theYT_moderator 2022 most definitely counts
Making up false narratives and tearing down players is far more fun than breaking down film, applying context, and giving players credit.
Harden has brought it on himself
Dray brought it on himself
crazy that all these hated guys kd westbrook and harden played together
james harden has been 4 conference finals as the best players & lost in the playoffs to kawhi leonard or steph curry or lebron in there prime edit: what is the only player put push the kd warriors to 7 games; when everyone else got swept or gentlemen swept Put things into perspective, Anthony Davis, Lillard, who resumes or less than Dwight Howard somehow made the top of all time
They changed the bpm because they realized there was a flaw in the formula. It was something like the more shots you take even if you miss every other one your bpm will go up. I don't tenement exactly but that was pretty much it
Eh. Respect is a 2 way street. A lot of disrespected players (Harden, Howard, etc.) were also really disrespectFUL. They got theirs. I don't feel too bad. Edit: Dam, we got some copium addicts down here who don't understand that actions have consequences. I ain't got time for y'all. I'm done replying.
One of the most disrespectful people in NBA history is the most respected figures in not only NBA but sports (MJ), you ppl just pick and choose who to be angry at like a bunch of nose picking toddlers
@@Ill.righteous31 Very mature way to voice your opinion. Don't remember ever saying anything about MJ or his fans. Classic straw man argument.
@@Snaq_Paq How was Harden and Howard disrespectful? How does it warrant downplaying their skill and accomplishments?
@@SolusFather Because being an off-court distraction has historically always harmed legacies? Why do you think it took Terrell Owens so long to get into Canton despite being a top 5 all time receiver?
@@Snaq_Paq yeah and again how has Harden and Howard been disrespectful
Basketball reference hating on Westbrook is crazy lol
Fr, like WTH is that change? Smell test? I am not stupid. You are not stupid. They can't make this crap up. They hate him.
For me Dwight’s prime was just a tad short. If he wouldn’t have went to the lakers and stayed the guy in Orlando it’d be a different convo
He also could have adjusted his game to make up for the back injuries that slowed him down. Plus improving his free throws to at least 70+ percent.
Yea, he was only 28 when he made his last allstar game. Only 26 when he last averaged over 20 ppg. He had lots of talent but lacked an offensive skill set. Once his athleticism dropped, he became washed.
Draymond doesnt get disrespected. His mouth just writes checks his game can't cash.
Triple doubles didn't become less of a big deal because of Westbrook. They became less of a big deal because scoring is up so much in general in the league, which also means assists are more common. It's easier to get a triple double than it used to be.
If harden wins a ring than a majority of the hate will fade and he will be remembered in high regard
Funny how luka is just a Harden 2.0 with great offence 0 defence yet ppl act like he is MJ and Bird
comparing luka to harden is crazy, luka always a superior player
Luka way better than Harden
The amount of people that forget (or simply dont know) how good prime Houston harden was is insane
@@bustermeme8723he is? Why hasn’t he had better playoff success than Harden? Stfu
You‘re just a salty my boy,Luka is much superior player,who is also loyal,unlike the overrated garbage manchild James Harden.
Glad to see you upload during the weekdays. 🎉😊
James Harden the reason I love basketball more than football and MMA. Love watching him hoop.
Man I really hated Dwight want wanted to see him fail when he didn't re-sign with the Lakers in 2013. I got what I wanted after his disastrous stint in Houston. Now I'm starting to feel bad for him. He redeemed himself in my eyes by coming back to the Lakers and winning a chip. Cant believe people choose to forget his Magic days. Dude was a top 5 player in the league and was probably the best overall defensive player. Between his goofy personality, whining and his tendency to be a locker room carcinogen led to his current reputation and widespread disrespect.
He is a fairy
He had a great career. Only kids and haters would fail to appreciate it, not that their opinions matter anyway is it
I wouldn’t call harden’s 30+ ppg run impressive when 10 of them were from free throws… Then once the nba banned foul cheesing notice how his average went down lol
Im still pick Dwight at C today. Even hes not modern C now a days
“Modem” yet nobody in the league is stopping prime Dwight and he can guard I’d say 2-5 confidently
@@t-god2439won a chip on his 5
He would still be great 5 today, His athleticism and Strength is obviously above average for a "traditional center", Just have competent shooters around him and you're playoff bound
@@conlan1015 remember he gave jokic a problem guarding him
@@user-nv1gm2zj7ythat was jokic before his prime….
As someone that loves Harden, Kawhi, and Westbrook. To see both of them have weird hating critiques and now basically flipping it on its head right now is best sweet.
Harden disrespect is crazy like bruh blame the nba not him great players always take advantage of the rules look at tom brady not getting called for intentional grounding on most of his throws
That harden part was summed up very well. There’s so much negativity towards him that few people appreciate his massive good side. And I still refuse to believe harden “chokes” he gasses out fast, which is just bad energy and conditioning but he starts every series pretty strongly.
And he cheats
So, he chokes. You admit that he can't finish series, which only proves that he is in fact a playoff choker.
@@mod7065 to be fair, he struggles to finish series against teams that his team is not the favorite to win, because he gasses out fast the first half of the series. Examples I’ll use are the Celtics series last season, putting the sixers up just for Embiid to not get them a single win, and his Houston years, most of them losing to the warriors dynasty. I’m not gonna deny if that’s choking to you, but imo he didn’t have enough help when it was needed most except his 1 year with cp3 whom then got injured.
I think its also that refs allow a bit more contact and physicality in the playoffs that Harden has troubles with. Same with Embiid.
Bruhh you forgot to Add Westbrook Stat Padding Adams could have been one of the best Offensive rebounder if not for Westbrook stealing them
I dont know about the "snubbed BY FAR" part. Tony Parker and Manu got 4 rings and they werent on the 75 list. And you could argue they are better players than Howard and have the accolades to show for it (Finals MVP, 6th man, rings)
Yeah but they're foreigners. Non American players in the NBA have always had a tough time in the NBA
@@stackhat8624 yeeep I agree. But still, the main point remains
Dude he played with a star studded cast in golden state, and it’s Kevin Durant. So ya he’ll put up godly efficiencies, etc. lol I really beginning to think you don’t actually watch and dive into games but make content due to the popularity of the sport
Howard's prime feels relatively short and take a look at the last players in the ranking. I would choose Wilkins or West over Dwight.
Besides Draymond, it’s not a coincidence all of these guys played with each other even multiple times. They all learned on and off court bad habits from each other.
Don't forget Embiid snubbing the French national team. He did them dirty
Dude wanted to win some kind of championship. Only chance he will get
embiid is an arrogant ass. and cried to win the mvp
He snubbed Cameroon. The guy has never even lived in France. I know he got French cityzenship with some loophole but still.
Shaq really shows the duality of man. He's a lover, a hater, the best teamate, the worst teamate and one of the biggest philanthropists ever. I've never seen a NBA player hate on their peers so much. He funneled that competitive energy into the wrong path. He needs to let it go it's embarrassing
About KD: no one should question his talent - if people look at talent over production they are living in a video game. That's why people love an underdog story, the guy who out hustles and out smarts and out plays the guy who is "supposed" to win because of talent. As for harden, he found a loophole in the rule hook and exploited it. The nba refused to acknowledge it and adjust the way the fouls are called for years. Then they joined up and flopped. Both men haven't made it out of the second round of the playoffs in almost a decade. All of their "talent" didn't get them better than thr #9-16 team in the nba. How could they even be top ten all time.
A lot of this disrespect comes as a pushback to being overhyped.
i think the free throw merchants r onto something lol idk maybe guard them better
If Harden, Durant, and Westbrook stayed together in okc, they win a few rings and get little hate. That was the funnest team to watch back in 2012.
I think Harden made drawing fouls a real skill. Points are points no matter how you get them. This style would make anyone an easy target for ridicule but his job was to mainly score and he did at an all time level.
Basically it’s the 3 young stars from the 2012 thunder team and a few other players
all these guys are really great too except draymond.
Stop hating. That’s a female trait. You don’t become one of the greatest defenders of all time by not being great.
@@Disxreet u in ur feelings and I didn't say anything bad. Now that's a female trait. Draymond is a great defender all time. But not top 75 overall great like the others.
As a Kawhi fan, the disrespect he gets just because of his body being riddled by injuries is insane. I don't get how such a quiet, humble, likeable game and personality get so much for not even being his fault. This needs a part 2 ngl.
Im the opposite. You can blame his body, his uncle or whatever. But his antics when leaving the Spurs and the circus around him leaving the Raptors, after winning a championship, and then constantly failing at the Clippers means he deserves all the criticisms he gets.
Great video Andy! I would add Chris Paul to the list!
Harden actually really pushed for the fouls, you could clearly see that when the rules changed and he was fishing for them, badly... He really leaned on those fouls to make the rest of his career and forgot to develop his game, after that it's been way better and he is now focusing on playing basketball instead of chucking 3's and free throws...
Zion should be on this list already
The problem with Westbrook is that he was playing to get stats not wins. Was common to not shoot when he was open because he was looking for an assist to improve his tiple double record.
Really hope Russ gets a ring he deserve it even as bad as yesterday was, his bounce back arc from the lakers kinda inspiring cuz of how we seen stars like Melo and AI go out but Russ humbled himself and is gonna last a lot longer in the league then we woulda thought
I said it then and I'll say it now. The freight top 75 snub was beyond egregious
I feel like not including Gobert on this is even more disrespectful than including him 😂
This is who that William guy wishes he was like. Andy makes the best NBA videos and is actually knowledgeable
Dennis Rodman was better than green. Don’t @ me
Paul George gotta be one of them imo
Trae Young and Kyrie Irving should be included in this video too.
You went too easy on Westbrook. There are dozens of videos of him boxing his teammates out, and everything else he could do for another stat point. He has a lot of holes in his game. He is a great for sure, there are just a whole lot of complaints people can make that are more reasonable than any other player on this list (other than green but he definitely deserves all the disrespect)
Give them respect. Props to them.
Embiid is the big a version of harden. Luka is the young version of harden.
I fear James won't ever get his respect any time soon, 2 Game Winners and 2 40+ Point games vs the C's last year IN THE PLAYOFFS as someone who's NOT the first option. Did all this as a 2 at the age of his and all they'll bring up is his shortcomings not hmmm maybe if the current NBA MVP matches Harden then they get past the 2nd round for once?
Draymond brings it on himself. The guy does the most outlandish shit on the court and takes zero accountability.
I can't believe you did James harden and didn't even mention his playoffs
Lakers are great at getting 3 point fouls. Hell we practically invented 3pt fouls so it makes sense it's ingrained in our perpetually elite players.
Harden never cared about winning. Only cared about partying with Travis Scott at the club after a loss
Gotta admit though that's kinda sick
Paul George, kyrie, Anthony Davis, trae young, Julies randle, pascal siakam, kawhi even
Most people just hate Embiid because he is a 7"0 acting tough all the time, but when he plays he flings himself like a 5"6 guard under any contact. Harden was more respected because he was also a guard and he hunted fauls, whilst flopping a lot less or atleast less blatantly most of the time.
If the team doctors didn't lie about how bad Dwights back was and actually let it healed. Then his time with the Lakers could have been as impactful if not more than as Shaqs.
Dwight wants rest his back still bend over for backshots…that’s what remind his back
You out here sayinf "we" don't remmeber KD being a likable guy as if we were all Zoomers born after 2003. Guess ya gotta appeal to that demographic lol
Embiid isn't disrespected enough. He deserved way more
Disrespect means you're not nominated and hated by the media . I felt bad some of the nba players are being pressured and criticize on behaf from stepping in the playoffs or moving into another team or trade now
One thing in common... Drama Queens and Prima Donnas of the NBA
Julius Randle is on this list as well
Biggest lie I’ve seen this video was in that promo dude put 5$ on a -600 and his return was 5.83$ 😂😂😂
Draymond is great in hie role with GSW. However, I think his skill set *only* works on that team. Put him anywhere else, even 5 or 10 years ago, and you get a fraction of the results.
It's a simple question of media hype and backlash. LeBron is both the most hyped, overhyped and also most slandered and ridiculed player in the history of the sport.
I'm sure KD's going to get respect when he demands a trade to the NY Knicks next season 😅
Harden will choke again this year. He’s always great in the first round and a half, but he always ends up coming up short on his behalf. Until he wins a ring, he’ll get no respect from me. Same goes for Embiid, but I do feel bad for him this year. He definitely should not be playing!
You know Harden don’t need your respect right?😂😂
@@lawrenceobeng-hp2fh 😱😱 Are you serious?! Nooooooo!!!!!! What will I ever do!!???
Kobe played on both ends of the floor
dwight isnt top 75 and shaq's criticism was accurate. the media kept trying to compare dwight to shaq. he did have no post game. bron didn't beat the magic cause they rarely made the playoffs. 12 playoff runs since 2000 and they lost in the first round 8 (and soon to be 9) times.
that's 3 thunder players
MVP Russ was a beast and changing bpm stat is carzy
I ain't know Joel was hating
Why Dwight Howard? He was loved by so many people here in the Philippines
They changed BPM not because it was Russ, but because Russ’ season wasn’t so incredibly beyond the league that the BPM number being as high as it was indicated there was a problem with the equation - some aspect of the equation was given too much value… and so 30/10/10 in the old BPM model looked significantly better than 29/9/12 even though you can make an argument it’s less value added depending on efficiency and context They changed the stat because Russ’ astronomically high BPM didn’t match what we know to be the case about his relative status in the league’s hierarchy, highlighting a problem with the way the stat was being calculated… if he truly was as good as the old BPM was indicating, it would have been obvious Imagine if some advanced stat said Luka was the best player in the league BY FAR… we would all know immediately the stat is flawed… which wouldn’t be a criticism of Luka, but instead a recognition of the fact that he obviously has statistical competition for that #1 spot (Embid, Jokic, etc.)… if a player has “arguably” the best season in the NBA, we shouldn’t see stats which say they had BY FAR the best season ever… Using a historical example: if a stat consistently said Ewing was way better than Hakeem, then we know immediately the stat is just flawed, because we know he wasn’t way better… he might be marginally better (he wasn’t) but we know FOR CERTAIN he wasn’t way better… so why is this stat saying so? Because it’s poorly calibrated - some aspect of the equation is being given too much value
99% of fouls against Harden were legit fouls? Fire your optometrist.
"99% of fouls on Harden are legitimate" .....NO
lol he said 99% were legit fouls on Harden? Even without statistics, no way it's 99%. More like 70-80% only. 20-30% should be offensive or no call.
Dwight Howard went from hitting tough shots to TAKING back shots…that explains everything…he takes the same medication as the penguin guy from sopranos
They're both greasing the union
I feel like Carmelo should be on this list.. Iverson too
I think Dwight is the most unjustly disrespected player in NBA history.
I respect all of them
Don’t forget that Joel threw his team under the bus after losing to the Celtics last season
He did not. Go back and actually listen to what he says. I hate the dude and im a die hard celtics fan but chill with the misinformation.
@@theYT_moderator I don’t hate the dude but he literally said me and James harden can’t win alone and they were the worst two
@@HishamElite yeah you need to go back and watch the entire series if that's what you think let alone the actual interview
@@theYT_moderator I’m referring to the game 7, I’m well aware that James harden played great and got em the two wins, I watched that. I was referring to the game 7.
It was sad when I found out Howard back was blown out
The disrespect for James Choke Artist Harden 🎨 is justified this man. Notoriously choked in big moments game 7 you and the team shoot 1-30 from 3 point range maybe go to the mid-range game 6 they lost to the spurs who didn't have Kawhi or LaMarcus and he still managed to have a bad game and lose 2-14 had only 8 points game 7 against the bucks miss key shots down the stretch do we need to talk about Philly
We all know why Dwight Howard is not in the top 75. Those off court allegations are heinous.
I still think harden's gonna choke sometime these playoffs book me
It wont be as bad cuz they have PG and KW
Easiest call you can make
Did Shaq just say Robin Lopez💀💀💀
3 former thunder players 😂
Damn all former okc players on this list 😂😂
