^^^ Kwame had some real issues that went back to his childhood and the environment he was raised in. There was an article in the Washington Post from his rookie season that exposed him for who he really was: a scared, socially undeveloped little boy in the body of a man-beast. More than anything, it was sad to read.

That explains alot about Kwame's psyche smh that's really sad. Everybody isn't mentally as strong as MJ or kobe & that's what makes them special. Hopefully Kwame has found a piece of mind.

As for this topic, I'm beginning to feel like Rondo is in this category. Tremendous talent but diva like attitude. Dwight definitely fits the mold as well.


Now there was a basketball player who could've used college. He was basically thrown to the wolves in the NBA once he got out of high school. He was going to be a Florida Gator had he gone to college so I think he would've gotten the support system to grow as a person, not to mention pick up much needed fundamentals to use later on in the NBA.


I had read the article when it came out and always had a bit of a soft spot for Kwame. I distinctly recall seeing some of his first games in preseason and he had a nice stroke and skills.

"Brown can handle the basketball very well like a guard, and can even lead the fast break. He also has a good-looking stroke from 15-to-17 feet." - Gene Huh, FoulShots.com

Michael completely carpet bombed the dude's confidence. Poor bastard busted his way to $65 M in career earnings.


At least Kwame was spared the indignity of the "worst 1st pick evAr" tag. Every team Anthony Bennett goes to, the coach tells him, "Let off some steam, Bennett..."
