Why These 4 NBA Players Got Blacklisted

yet the nba still praises Karl Malone and ignore all of his headlines

Tyreke Evans definitely comes to mind

I do like some of these punishments. Like harsher suspensions for abuse and assault. Shit happens all the time in the nfl, but players keep coming back

I’m surprised even Dwight Howard didn’t even make this list but also Enes Kanter definitely comes to mind for sure

Evans from the Sacramento Kings got blackballed for several years!! Crazy that he never got another chance!!!

Enes Kanter's story is dirty. He did everything right, and the NBA praised him as a hero when he spoke out against Turkey, then threw him away like garbage when he spoke against China. The NBA wants to be woke and socially progressive, but only if it's profitable.

What about Jeremy Lin. Dude came back and went to G league and proved that he has What it takes to be an NBA player again but was overlooked by all the NBA teams that had worst players on their roster.

Thanks Andy! You always produce great content.

Putting Enes Kanter at the Pick and Roll is essentially the biggest reason why he's not in the league anymore. The baggage he's carrying just a plus for teams to not sign him.

I'm glad that Mayo and Dion at least realized what they did wrong and admitted their mistakes

Let's be real. Enes Kanter only played minutes on that Blazers team because we didn't have any other centers and why we offered him a bad deal. He's slow, can't shoot, and is only really good as a rebounder. He's just not a good modern NBA player and was on his way out. Maybe him having bad political views made it so teams now don't even send him offers but also he seems to be too far in his own thing being a conservative grifter.

Aside from Kevin Porter Jr., I feel like you could feasibly argue that the other guys aren't so much blackballed but their styles just aren't desirable anymore in this current style of basketball. Enes was a good scorer and solid rebounder but couldn't defend well. Dion and OJ Mayo play style didn't age well. That and the league just has so much talent now that they're not really needed on any rosters

Oh yeah thanks Andy for another solid video!!

Porter would do good here in Memphis…we usually take all the rejects that have talent …once he’s approved

How about Meyers Leonard?

The giddy shot is priceless 😂

I never liked Enes a lot, but his example shows what really happens when you do speak up. AND he had a point. Disgraceful, they don't even have the decency to at least say so - another great example of the shitshow the NBA has become.

The only place Miles Bridges will ever be blacklisted from is Canada.

They’re “black listed” cause they tarnish the image of the league and they’re not good enough to be anything but bench and role players today I need to add that if you aren’t an elite player, then the team isn’t going to go out of their way to protect you. You can’t speak out against anything that the business that is the NBA isn’t standing on, and expect to continue to have a career in the league. It’s happened for decades. Enes Freedom spoke out against the Chinese government, and you wonder why he was unfairly phased out of the league? Waiters and Mayo were inconsistent players throughout most of their careers, then they committed infractions (on a shortened leash) and then wondered why no one would pick them up again. KPJ, he’s no Miles Bridges. A decent player whose team is better without him. It’s all. Business.

The league moves faster now, and there is bigger talent pool to fill the roles. Yesteryear's phenom can be replaced and forgotten quickly. That's probably message the league is giving the players, do your job, don't cause problems, or we will get somebody else.
