ESPN Top 25 Unfulfilled Potential Athletes

[Blackrogue]

Have a guy be in prison for life drafted in the list behind you

 

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

Also wanna reserve a spot for Sebastian telfair and OJ Mayo. These nikkas was in EVERY SLAM magazine for like 6 straight years

Dejuan Wagner too

I don't like that they included players who clearly suffered major injuries.

Sam Bowie is the most disrespected athlete of the last 35 years.
Dude was LEGIT in college until he got hurt and he really never recovered from it.

The fact that so many people make him the joke of the 1984 Draft by comparing him to Jordan is unfair.
And by the way, Stockton went 16th that year and nobody clowns those other teams for passing up on one of the top 5 PGs of all time.

Hell, the Sixers drafted Barkley at no. 4, right behind Jordan. Portland could've had a Hall of Fame PF to play with Drexler and Jim Paxson.

You better believe the '90 and '92 Finals go differently if they have Charles Barkley up front with Portland.

Generation K is only here because they were on a New York team.
Teams always have young arms that they hype up. Their downfall was that the Mets sucked so
much that they had to rush all of them through the system so fast.

Hell yeah, Mark Prior, Kerry Wood, and Carlos Zambrano as a 3 piece was more of a disappointment than those Mets. They were a few outs from the World Series and then they just fell apart one by one.

Nah son how come none of yall mention Christian Laettner. Motherfukk that p*ssy I'm glad his pro career was shyt

You know what

I used to think that too, until I found out dude was an All-Star at one point.

I didn't realize that shyt at the time but Laettner made an all-star team.

Surprised ESPN missed this one

This is a good one.

People forget how good Anna Kournikova was at tennis.

She was a Grand Slam finalist at 15. She was a fukkin' prodigy. The modeling took her focus and the Williams Sisters knocked her ass off the block.

No Richard Dumas? Breh was a futuristic SF back in the early 90's

 

[prophecypro]

They got sam bowie but not Penny?

 

[NormanConnors]

Rick Mirer, Ron Powlus, Cade McNown

Kerry Wood, Ben McDonald, Doug Million, Kevin Maas, Todd van Poppel, the Mets' Generation K of Paul Wilson, Bill Pulsipher, and Jason Isringhausen

Ricardo Williams, Jr., Ramon Garbey

Olowakani, Kwame Brown


All left off of the list?


EDIT: we'll never know how Drazen Pertrovic would've turned out

Yeah cosign Drazen, dude was on his way, that Nets team could have been a powerhouse with Drazen, a motivated Derrick Coleman, Kenny Anderson (without the injury) and Chuck Daly as coach

 

[NormanConnors]

Billy Owens and the wizard Walt Williams
