Where Michael Olowokandi Happens

[samtheman7975]

Olowokandi and Olajuwon Comparison:

Similarities:

Both are from Lagos, Nigeria

Both are 1st overall picks

Both of their last name starts with O

Both are centers

Both players are 7 ft 0 in

Differences:

Olajuwon is one of the top 5 players of all time

Olowokandi is one of the top 5 draft busts of all time

[thephilliesphan34]

The biggest bust of all time was Larue Martin

[ASmooveFighter]

I know his nephew.

[tedicus]

@geemoney7 yessir he was, and melo, bosh and wade were number 3, 4, and 5

[jayjoetube14]

the greatest big man ever

[DBnba]

Olowokandi wasnt that big of a bust. The last two season with the Clippers he averaged 12ppg, 9 rpg and 2 bpg. which is solid for a starting Center.

I dont think any team really gave him a chance to be the go to guy. The Clippers kept trying to build the young duo of Maggette and Darius Miles. and Remember they also had Odom and Brand there too. Garnett was the main man in Minnesota and then when he played in Boston they only played him a total of 40 games over 2 seasons...

[NextWorldApparel]

He actually had decent skills.He was just always hurt.He was way better than Kwame tho

[tedicus]

@anrew1997 I admit he's improving but 9 ppg and 7 rpg is still not worthy of first round, especially when he was selected before Carmelo and D.Wade

[13Niclas13]

don't hate on these guys getting drafted too high, hate the managers! its not kwames fault he got drafted

[melrodas]

I used to think that he was a bust too but if you look at his numbers...they weren't terrible. I think injuries did him in.

[leprkorn]

@melrodas will we be saying this about greg oden in a few years time....me thinks we will

[mts955]

@leprkorn I dont think we can say hes a bust, he definitly hasnt lived up to expectation because of injuries but he is still a solid center

[melrodas]

I used to think he was a bust too but injuries did him in. Prior to injuries his numbers weren't terrible.

[IAMtheNewWorldOrder]

Lol

[eastpointatlanta]

aye ya don't talk bout my Nigerian nigga

cuz nun of y'all was da # 1 pick of da NBA draft dis video ant funny or true at all bruh

real talk

[stevechen1991]

Where Clippers should really move to Vegas Happens!

[elcarlitos160]

i bet if he had been drafted by any other team, he would have done better. the curse of the clippers has taken too many athletes

[jerster8]

where almost as bad as kwame brown happens

[yungboifr5h]

lmaoooo, i wonder what he'd say or do if he say this

[larrybird3323]

Darko wasn't a bad pick at the time. Look at who the Pistons had. If they drafted Mello he would have barely played. Some European players just can't gell in the NBA. Then again, some American players struggle in the world game (just look at the World Championship and Olympics).

[grasd2]

this nigga sucked so much ass

[kingsunnyade1]

Kandiman put up numbers his last 2 seasons with the clippers till he pulled his hernia in the 03 season. He actually played another 4 seasons on a ruptured hernia. Thats heart- check the facts

[RaptoRsAreTecMo]

Kwame brown is a bigger bust, at least michael showed some signs that he was able to put up numbers but then he got hurt and that kinda ended his career

Kwame jus plain out sucks

[mindgamester]

who is the bulls number 21?

[Emil308]

@mindgamester Marcus Fizer...now plays for some shitty South American team called the Guaynabo Mets in Puerto Rico.

[AEMoreira81]

At the 1999 draft, one had to say---Michael WHO?

And can someone point me to where University of the Pacific is?

[urallwitnesses23]

Where this video is gay happens.

[Phillyballplaye]

LMAOOOOOOO

[Crystalkatana44]

who came after him

[finalsecondmusic]

LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO L HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHALO­L LOL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH LMAO LmAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

[PeekaPeep]

As deep as that 1998 draft was (Bibby, Jamison, Carter, Pierce, Nowitzki, heck even Rashard Lewis and Cutino Mobley were available in the 2nd round), Clippers felt Olowokandi was the best choice out of all of them...BWWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA­AA!!!!

Shoot, at least Kwame "Mr. Small Hands" Brown still has the excuse of being drafted out of high school-for whatever THAT'S worth...

>:-p

[brownosito53]

yea kwame brown is great he is the greatest bust i seen

[thelasttrank]

olowakandi was never any good not even in college dont know what the clips were thinking

[Daniel88SGE]

Where is Olowokandi playing right now???

[mrxlusive]

He s retired

[LinuxUser4Life]

He doesn't play anymore...

[skipper00718]

KandiMan is also nagging from injuries since college just like Oden. And his not a bad player i his 5 years in LAC. his giving decent numbers also he avg a double2x in the 2002-2003 season. So for the record, Oden = kandiman. no doubt. and also, if oden was a dominant force back in College so is olowokandi. if you say this years is Odens career year? at 11ppg and and 8 rpg. it's just the same number that kandiman has.

[winchester208]

where is greg oden's vid

[BaachiJoeJB]

to call Greg Oden a bust is unfair because he has nagging injuries that is keeping his potental away

[ManyDiamonds]

lol

[ecat124]

I hope in due time someone will create a video similar to this for the Lakers' over-rated big man - Andrew Bynum...

This coming from a Laker fan who really thinks Bynum is a lazy bum, who suckered the Laker brass to pay him $14 million per year.

[brocode125]

his first game wasn' so bad yesterday, granted it was against the clippers. but still. 26 and 13 ain't bad.

[anything654r]

hes playing well now

[ecat124]

well, that depends on which side (offense or defense) you're referring to. he sort of plays decent on offense, albeit he jacks up shots, but plays lackadaisical defense.

[tedicus]

its true he doesn't deserve 14 million, but i think hes pretty good actually!

[Emil308]

@ecat124 Bynum is good bro, about as good as a center could be when you're playing on a team with 3 stars like Kobe, Lamar, and Gasol.

[ray2nyt]

I saw highlights of olowokandi on his college days, that was FORCE, but sadly his career in the NBA never came so brilliant.

[1heblackmamba]

lol kwame was little better then olowakandi though

[buffblaze]

are u crazy. olowokandi was loads better than kwame. just no dominant.

[natureboyinyourface]

leave michael olowokandi alone!!! hope i get famous for this.

[zsjkdfghsrut]

kwame brown is another wasted draft pick

[tedicus]

i think the worst was milicic

just because dwyane wade, chris bosh and carmelo anthony were still out there...

[modernway91]

@tedicus Well, Darko 1 : James, Bosh, Anthony 0. I mean lets talk KWAME BROWN! That was a waste of time

[sillygazoo]

@tedicus well i'd have to say the worst was sam bowie lol

[delez24]

@tedicus milicic should have been a solid player but larry brown never played him

[ibnsaba]

@delez24

cuz NBA is racist... all the players from the balkans needed at least 5 years to establish themselves within the team... look at kukoc, dragic, ukic etc.

[messymarv92]

@tedicus but he's doing better now than olowokandi did

[GeeMoney7]

@tedicus milicic was the #2 pick

[revengeofbutthead]

@tedicus

didn't matter when you got the championship that year

since coach Larry didn't much use rookie on his coaching style

[tHeMaN998rocks]

@tedicus and lebron james

[iwhre20]

yeah,, draft now is obvious

[rApMoN14]

clippers got the num 1 overall pick!i wonder if they draft another bust like this dude.hopefully not

[liweiwu007]

sam bowie was drafted by portland idiot! go read wikipedia before you come here and embarass yourself

[AKNOWNMOOSE]

...says the guy using wikipedia as basketball reference.

[liweiwu007]

says the guy who is a trailer park white trash

[haggiss]

don't call someone a retard and then refer them to wiikipedia, because your a retard if you believe everything thats written on that site

[liweiwu007]

he was supposed to be the next hakeem olajuwon

[Marakulous43]

The closest thing this man was to Olajuwon was his last name...LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blacklabel67k]

lmao

[iluvetheredsox]

@liweiwu007 waaaasss....

[razkable]

@liweiwu007 he wasyour right but it never happened he was also compared to a poor man's shaq and patrick ewing and heck i once even heard david robinson and otis thorpe and thompsan but he was most compared to hakeem because of his size and gerth and skill in college what happened never really panned out/ transcened'/ tried hard enogh you look darko now can play a lttle on both ends if he did that earlyer he could have been a nice player now hes a joke like kwwaameeeeee!! lol brownandmichaelhere

[homeboiUH]

And still he is a millionaire and is done working for his life while the creator if this video is a youtube-hater....

I'm not saying Michael was good or defending his crappy career but atleast the dude made it to the NBA, I wonder what the creator of this video has done in life beside being a youtube-gangster.

[isaiahjarrett]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahah ahhhh tried the youtube gansta hatin on michael hahahahah!!!

[eminemrap2010]

yeah you are right they are lots of people who wich to watch only one nba game

[tarvisjackson7]

oden is good but only on d the reason if he can score over 10 points is cause he tall and dunk it but and c can do that

[djizzle62]

like most big men in thr beginning years he had to develop a low post game.

if he can do that, and get/stay healthy the sky's the limit rite?

[H1Cypher]

Kevin Durant is the man. Greg Oden is the next #1 bust.... let's just call him 'defensive specialist'.

[NWDAMU503]

hes sitll hella young for one and hes barely played

[TheRatedIX7]

They picked this man over a lot of great players and now where's he at? Is he even still in the league anymore?

[la0zpwnage]

ahh man, you should of put " Where getting posterized happens" and a picture of Bosh or Stoudemire dunking on him.

[KillingJoke696]

HAh thats good

[heffyz]

this is really sad Go clipps

[eafanboyssuck]

wow lay off him... he didnt do anything wrong to you...

[DUTCHBOYBL]

michael is even more disapointed than kwame to me

[ticster2008]

ha, the clipers are cursed anyway.

[hirudold]

Pre-draft scouting reports comparing him to Hakeem freaking Olajuwon, wtf!

[teamelo]

lmao0o0o

[Jerryluvsweed88]

greg oden is the next person for this videoes

[jtjr3112]

i think so too

[pepperkorn3]

hm maybe, oden is doing alright but hes a waste.. brandon roy is doing it all.

also I just noticed

Kobe Bryant = Brandon Roy

Kwame Brown = Greg Oden

[z4ng3tsu1ch1g0]

i wouldn't say that YET.... imagine a healthy and injury-free oden. hmm...

[djizzle62]

true. when he actually been healthy hes ben pretty good

[dv122]

when has he been healthy though?

[djizzle62]

for SHORT amounts of time

but when hes able 2 stay on the court he can get a double-double easy

[ElUnicoMaster]

The only highlight of Olowokandi's career was when he posterized over Shaq in the 2004 WCF

[BILLYBOYSUCKS]

Marcus Fizer was not that bad.

[m4ul3r]

whos the guy who played for chicago in the picture 0:18

[ElUnicoMaster]

Marcus Fizer. I remeber when he was called "Baby Barkley"

[m4ul3r]

kk thnx

[ClipClicks]

Michael Olowokandi, terrible pick.

[heffyz]

what a waste of height

[007nites]

At least he wakes up everyday knowing that hes seven feet tall.

[DRiPPz6800]

he wasn't the worse

[yankeeclipper41]

You know, Olowokandi didn't have that bad of an NBA career. If he would have been, let's just say, pick #5....No one would be talking about his this way. He was plagued by injuries his last 4 years in the league. The last season in LA was a pretty good season. If I remember correctly, he averaged like 12.5 pts and about 8 rebounds a game.

[jaydanfort]

but VC averages tht in like a quater

yet he was no1 from a no.1 draft pik you expect 18-30 points a game and from a center around 10 boards

[Brownbrutha02]

The main thing about alot of these players are there work ethic. Players like Kobe,MJ and even Jerry Rice had great work ethic. Thats what makes them great. They always wanted to get better and in the NBA or the NFL the tools are all aroung them to be great!

[tornadosteve1]

no lottery system can determine a superstar it has to come from within.. Loook at people who have come out of nowhere...

[roxx05]

where having to retire at 33 coz he ain't worth s*** anymore happens.

[NBAHomiez71]

the clippers the reason why they weent that good fo that whole time was cause thee draft picks were all busts.

[kobynum24]

THE WORST PICK EVER WAS DARKO MILICIC number 2 players after him were dwayne wade chris bosh and carmelo anthony

[jd4life93]

I feel u brother.

[Crabman2186]

@kobynum24 that belongs to Kwame Brown lol

[Crabman2186]

@kobynum24 to be fair Darko still has a chance to be something he is 24 a bust? Yes he is by far but he is too of a racist pig nore a hard worker to be anything like those guys you brought up. He got 10 points a game this season as a center thats not so bad =p but for him it should be greater than 10 points a game. Biggest bust ever is Sam Bowie noting classes Jordon

[CoreyJMurphy]

@kobynum24 Lmfao. What a raw class 2003 was, huh. LeBron... Wade... Melo... Bosh........ Darko?

[bakerandbaker1]

@kobynum24, No way. It can't be Milicic. For one, he was a #2 pick out of Europe, versus Olowokandi and Brown who were #1 picks out of high school. Secondly, he had no real expectations because he was drafted by the powerhouse Pistons, who received the pick through trade and didn't need another player to win the NBA title, Whereas Brown was picked by the not only the struggling Wizards but also selected by a team operated by Michael Jordan, putting added pressure on him.

[Clippers2009Champs]

we've made all the right choices now. thorton, kaman, gordon, baron davis, camby. what do you clipper haters have to say about that?

[kobetown8]

all ya talk is shit cant bak it up son0 nba rings

[GMH1023]

just by your name we can tell your an idiot. but you guys do have potential

[sedwreck01]

who would win a game of one on one kwame brown or michael olowokandi? it makes me laugh just thinking about it

[dabeast615]

lol they'd be playin for days

[LongcatTacgnol]

darko would keep score

[sheedrusse]

Jason Collins the Gatorade cooler.

[FailPanda]

if Kwame and Kandi played eachother, they would probably do the jumpball, get bored, and go to McDonalds...

[RondoOwns9]

the clippers are just a bad organization they never can put together a good team in the draft + when they finally had one in 2006, they lost to the suns + everyone got injured

Olowakandi is one of many bad clipper picks, there are too many to list

But he is the worst

[kingdylword]

picked over vince carter wow

[LongcatTacgnol]

and jamison

[treshnefix]

who sucked more, kwame brown or michael olowokandi

[hgonz14]

The kandiman sucks more because he was even lazier the Kwame is somehow. And the players that the clippers passed on to select the kandiman were much better. Stupid fucking clippers

[mrtexas1972]

that muthafucka did suck

[19shanedoan19]

where being traded again and again and being relesed again and again happens

[mlk809]

LOL! dude is horrible!

[TwinsSucks2000]

haha Brandon, mines = 89 ratings in one day LOL!!!!

[24lakers16]

where second worst pick in nba history happens

[TysonDaKid]

...where having 2 retire at 32 happens cuz nooone wants ur ass happens

[13Phoenix32Suns1]

where getting owned all the time happens.

good job branden. 5 stars

[zedrich23]

nice dude

[TwinsSucks2000]

where sucking happens

[TwinsSucks2000]

nice video dude!

[Nashluongo4mvp]

LOL, that made my day. Though anybody servicable would've been better than Olowokandi. This perfectly shows the Clips inability to pick right till they picked Kaman.

[zedrich23]

nice nolimitxp
