Today’s feature is a player that I shouldn’t be writing about on a page like this, who in just 2019 was on the cover of the biggest sports magazine possibly to ever exist in sports illustrated, calling him next in line. Born for this was the caption beside Bates, as names like Michael Jordan, Lebron James and Magic Johnson placed underneath, as if to crown the beginning of what was supposed to be the new NBA superstar in the making. He was just 15 years old. At that point I don’t think anyone scoffed at him being placed on the cover, nor compared to the likes of all time great players, because by then the new age media machine of instagram, and the almighty UKposts had for years held him up as what’s next, especially when it comes to his comparisons to Kevin Durant. Fast forward to 2022 and just about all those top rated kids he reclassified to join has passed him by, he’s finished one of the most disappointing seasons a top prospect had maybe ever, at least in a long time, and has recently left Memphis to join one of the worst teams in college basketball in Eastern Michigan, who haven’t reached the NCAA tournament since 1998. Hopefully this story is too soon, but the way it looks, with Emoni the player and the movements made on his behalf in critical times in his career, this could be long overdue. What happened to the next Kevin Durant Emoni Bates?

I'm from the area (734), went to Eastern, and nephew and friends knows Emoni and his family. I always argued Emoni should've left Ypsi and went to a solid prep program like Oak Hill or Montverde. Emoni's pops is a good man and has mentored and trained many youth in that area. Many kids from Ypsi Prep received college scholarships as a result what his pops did. I pray Emoni has a successful season at EMU. Go Eagles!

What’s crazy is I said this a long time ago about Emoni. He was destined to fail simply because he’s not coachable and he only cared about himself and stats. Too many “yes men” around him at a young age tailored is attitude and arrogance. Believe in god or not but whatever it is that type of energy doesn’t get rewarded with blessings or “luck” or whatever you wanna say. It’s just facts. Once you start to cheat or disrespect the game is when you fall off and the blessing stop. The opportunities stop coming. It’s a harsh reality. Had he been humble and coachable this kid would’ve gone far.

Everyone had a problem with him saying and I don't. I don't have a problem with Gilbert being a Og in the game someone that has played in the league over a decade someone who was a all-star and had Kobe Bryant respect remember he put like 66 up on Kobe Bryant so yeah I don't have problem with him talking with these youngsters getting to no them putting them on game because that what the young guys need nowadays. The problem is the league is to young we don't have a lot of veterans in the league like it was when I watched basketball in the 90s. Now with Emoni he should have stayed in High school you can't rush shit . Tracy McGrady came out of High school Class of 1997. Kobe Bryant came out of high school class of 1996 it was risky still for both they did get things going until 98-99 it took like 2 years.

I watched Emoni play twice his sophomore season here in Michigan, I loved his game, but he still had plenty things to improve on like using his teammates more, his mid range game and his understanding of the game. He should’ve never went to Memphis! I still think he’s gonna be a good player, but i blame his Dad for all this SMH

As a memphis fan and someone that watches him play all year for my college and I knew and heard about emoni and his crazy ass dad and his antics at games. Emoni wasn’t ready memphis doesn’t play in some super league they play in a league where your going against 3-5 year college players some maybe late second round draft picks and a lot of future over seas players, my point is he went against older guys and they understood the game at the college level better and took advantage of emoni for being to weak to guard and him getting lost on switches and letting him think taking long 3 points is a good shoot in college. Emoni was a good guy but his dad is the truth stunted growth this video should be on him, he made the prep school he took emoni out of traditional school and made his son go to college a year early while he should have been going to his senio year of high school and when you see other guys reclassified it’s because they’re physically ready and also they are joking they’re correct class. A lot top prospects play a year behind in competition in high school and aau because they’re more developed so when they say I’m graduating early and going to college it’s they’re correct class that’s all.

I think him predominantly turning into a scorer hurt him... In middle school he had a lot of playmaker in his game he was round 6-6 , 6-7 at the time more of a ball handler fasho he started shooting more I think they were tryna change his mentality and what he did naturally

I agree with all of this but the third stunt said "Supposed to be one and done" but technically he wasn't going to be eligible after one year at Memphis anyway because you have to be 19 years old and he was at Memphis while he should've been a high school senior. I don't understand these dad's creating a whole school just for their son's to play at lol. That's so stupid. As sad as it is some father's think about their own well being over their son's so they just have them making all of these crazy decisions. They expected him to dominate at Memphis because he was dunking on 5ft10 centers in high school i guess. D1 basketball is no joke. Those guys are not bums

Honestly like him or not Lavar ball is the best dad a highly ranked basketball playing son could have. Outside the youngest to an extent he let his boys just ball out at the public school they were at instead of shipping them early or trying to make a school for them to “succeed”. I truly believe all 3 would be in the nba if the middle son didn’t do what he did in china. Or at least hang around the wrong crowd over there. As for baits at worst case scenario he gets drafted second round because all it takes is one decent college season for him to get drafted in general. Especially at the very young age of 18, scouts just love any type of young athletes with good potential. Do i believe he can do it? Yes I do think he can if he’s willing to change his mentality. The problem is will he be able to, but like I stated before with his age he definitely has time.
@rashb3994
@rashb3994 Рік тому
Well the other difference with Lavar is he got on young LaMelo about selfishness and he lit him up about that right on camera. He also put him on a weak summer league team to push LaMelo to learn how to utilize the teammates and make them better. So he was coaching him on playing the game the right way. This is where, as it's pointed out in the video, Emoni has not been properly coached.

Hate to say “I told you so”! But I said on here a few years ago I questioned his motor, iQ, Defense and work ethic. Someone close to his people wanted to argue.. but.. here we go! I think those comparisons were premature & he didn’t have the structure to get better! Hope the best for him though, it’s not too late.
