While the average 2k player would kill to even be a role player in the NBA making 7 figures, Deandre's dream is to be one of us; Short Fat Unathletic But all day to game

After the 2023 elimination I bet he turned on 2K and scored 40 on Jokic

Gaming addiction is real

This gotta be mental illness

Bro wants to play a trash ass game instead of improving his trash ass game

Ouch 😂

Petty 😭😂

😂😂

20 mins, 10 points sounds pretty good if u were a role player

@@buffetize or posting a triple double every night while playing lockdown defense.

Ayton doesn't lack intelligence as much as he lacks drive and focus.

2k is a difficult game. in order to be addicted to video games you kinda have to be smart. otherwise youre just gonna be losing all the time = not fun = no addiction.

Not talking about intelligence they’re talking about his work ethic

@@ballsballsballs3617exactly idk how that dude thought he was calling him dumb 😂 internet is crazy

@@_MM03 😂😂

I saw him doing the same thing 💀it was on 2K21 night before they played game 1 against the lakers. Like man you need to guard AD in 24 hours what are you doing here?

@@ianbooth4510he was practicing what he think AD might do😂😂

@@ianbooth4510he lucky AD got injured that series.

Yeah but he was SO GOOD at 2k

I’m like how the fuck did they let you in the league 😂💀

Just like Pat Bev said that 50% of players don't actually care about bball and that "Players spend more time sitting on a fucking video game rather than they work on their own game" on PG's Podcast

Playing video games until 4 or 5 AM as a professional basketball player and the #1 Pick is absolutely wild and unreal 😂😂

He had to do some scouting 😂

To be fair even if you love the game you could still get burnt out. With travel and practice/games their entire life becomes basketball

😂lmao True But atleast he was a better bust than Ben Simmons lol

Ben Simmons is probably the best bust ever at aleast he made all stars and all NBA and defense team in his prime

​@@Shawnvapor-un8dkGreg Oden

@@Shawnvapor-un8dk yup, thats true too. Which means he is an even bigger disappointment bcuz he has those accolades, the falloff was even more drastic.

@@MrDuka42your outlook on this is totally skewed

Fr dylan ballin

Real

It makes me stop watching the video I was watching and watch this amazing video!

Every time.

Facts

Ayton and Simmons are beast they’ve just been injured

@@blocblackboyblack9226 yea but even when Ben Simmons plays he’s literally putting up below avg numbers. His playmaking has taken a dip also. His defense ain’t what it once was. Still scared to shoot… As for Ayton he’ll have a dominant game once In a while where he shows the potential but he just don’t care that much to fully unlock it..

If ad healthy stayed that game could we won that serios injury prone

Ben Simmons has had a very bad back injury since like 2019. It might be career ending That’s he has not been playing.

@@BRYxMONTANAhe has a bad back that might not heal

Its a disservice to his God given talent but I dont think many would really care about development in a game if them and their family are set for life

@@S3verusMyGbe quiet u don’t watch basketball how many centers averaging 16 and 10 1st 6 years in the league far from a bust this just 4 clicks

@@Parlay-xb8ezbeing a bust doesnt necessarily mean you’re trash, it means you didnt live up to expectations. He’s the same player he was in his rookie year, dude is a bust and idk why his balls are down your throat

@@Parlay-xb8ezbut he’s a number one pick. So many people are better than him and outplaying him. He doesn’t even show effort, that’s not the type of player I want.

​@Parlay-xb8ez nigga... Ayton is a no1 pick, the expectations are high for him, he's held to a higher standard than others . As a no1 pick, you cant be the type of player Ayton is mentally. How tf you get outplayed by Jock Landale as no1 pick? Ayton was chosen no1 cuz he was good, but sometimes, being good aint enough, you have to strive to become better and better each game, and that demands dedication and effort, which Ayton clearly lacks. 16 and 10 aint bad, but for someone like Ayton, this is not the averages he should have. Centers like Brook Lopez and Jalen Duren put those numbers, which are good, for their standards. Ayton is supposed to be better than them, and he avg less than that. This is not acceptable for someone of his caliber

Could have had Luka man. The future could have been better.

Blazer fan here. When he was traded to us I noticed Suns fans were upset because they didn't get more for a first overall pick. No one seemed upset that Ayton was gone. And now I understand why. Oh well, it was a gamble we apparently had to take as part of the Lillard trade. I want to say Go Bucks but with Rivers coaching them I am conflicted. lol

@@williamgray5491 Yeah man. I know it’s gonna sound like I’m bull$hittin’, but I’m a Suns fan and wanted Luka over Ayton for the no. 1 pick (I’ll admit that I was also convinced that Dragan Bender and Josh Jackson were gonna be the next great front court duo 😳). I was at UA while DA was there, and I keyed in on how poor of a defender he was for his combo of size and how gifted of an athlete he was. Don’t get me wrong, he improved as a defender with the Suns, but it was always clear that the passion just wasn’t there. You just can’t win the big one with guys like that.

@@WideReciever360 And he seems to hate contact and rarely gets to the line. And he's just a weird guy lol. Would rather play video games than prepare for a real game. Dominayton might be a good video game handle but he seems to forget that life isn't a video game. He's been putting up good numbers lately because Jerami Grant (and Sharpe) are out but when they come back they'll go down again.

You chose Ayton over Luka, and then he came back to bite ya

One of the best games ever made

You cant deny what a great Dad Luka been to Booker though. Always been there to show him how it's done. Always puttin him to sleep.

*better performance

Nurkic just grabbed 30+ rebounds in one game I think...something Ayton couldn't be bothered to do lol

@@arvinshaygan8643nah Nurkic is pretty bad, still the same quality that Ayton gave them 😂

​@@yodatscrazy981 the problem with Nurkic is that he tends to be injury prone

I don’t remember a game where Ayton had 30+ rebounds…

You would still have to count on Mikal and cam to make that jump under Monty. Ask most suns fans we weren’t counting on that

But how would they get Grayson Allen if they traded ayton for him and nurk..?

You wouldn’t have grayson Allen, he was apart of the Beal trade.

@@NolimitP504 no he wasn’t. He was apart of the ayton trade. Beal trade was shamet + cp

@@DopeBoyDreamz you're right he was apart of the Lillard trade

Monty was absolutely not a bum. He was pretty good in his time at phoenix, and even tho he is making some absolutely braindead decisions with his rotations and benching Ausar from the end of December till like the beginning of February, he’s started to use his brain. Ayton on the other hand is absolutely a bum, got Monty fired then left to be a trash can on one of the worst teams in the league.

As a Phoenix Suns fan I'm willing to give Monty way more grace. He has had a lot of his own personal sttuggles throught our best seasons. And they fired him right after his wife passed away. I'm not trying to excuse how ass he's been on the pistons or even the really bad decisions he made as our former head coach but I'm just way more willing to extend grace his way than I am with Ayton. Ayton never tried foreal. He gave us bare minimum effort

Monty was maybe overrated but never a bum.

Man Monte is a Chris Paul merchant. Peep his record with and with CP3. You can take all the losses from this year off and keep the wins. That 💩 is ugly

You all be saying anything

All losses too

Only 1 block and 0.7 steals though, and only averages 2.8 free throws a game, that's 24th amongst centers and power forwards, but that's only for March, for the year he only averaged 1.5 free throws.

Trust, we couldn't win with LBJ on this team. Last night against the Clippers, it was another traditional game for us. Ayton is playing great since injury tho.

Yeah, that's been a negative for sure. On the forums, we all criticize that. He lacks passion and fire. But he's been great regardless since post injury. He's been the most consistent player on this team and that's saying something....

Just wait until play offs bro. He’s gonna be -3x that

I feel like a lot of these high draft pick players basically spent from like 14 or 16 years old to 20 basically being told they are a star and knowing they will make the NBA. Therefore knowing they will be rich as F. Nowadays they only spend 1 year in college. The whole time often pampered and being covered and praised similarly to an NBA star with all the Media coverage. Even if they dont succeed in March Madness they often still are considered in the top 5 for the draft. I feel like a lot of this has led to massive egos and complacency on some of their part. They are naturally talented, and athletically superior to most of their competition until the NBA. Even a poor March Madbess they can convince themselves it was the team. Then they get to the NBA with the same mentality and same work ethic. Ayton for example gaming late until the night. It never hindered him before so he doesnt change. The NBA level is elite and u gotta work for it no matter what. LBJ is a crazy human specimen basically made for Basketball. Dude still spent so much time in the Gym honing his skills and improving physically. If u are convinced u will succeed purely bcuz u were told so and have so far up to that point done just that it's often a major wake up call. Some players recognize this and put in that work. Others let their Ego get in the way and blame everyone but themselves. Examples being Simmons and Ayton. Look at Giannis or Curry. Neither was believed to reach the level they have when they were teens and young adults. Giannis had to work hard as shit and coming from Greece was not given any special treatment. Instead he was doubted. Curry wasnt considered big or strong enough. Being just a 3 pt shooter specialist and nothing more. He took a small program in Davidson to what the Elite 8 or Final 4 (honestly forget) No one had been saying this kid is the future of the NBA. He put in the work though and reached an elite level.

Right,these people just be saying anything..

bro had no idea how to use his tools 😭

He's a bust relative to his draft position and talent level

@@BostonBori92exactly, Ben Simmons type beat

Ok 👌🏾! A Bust is not a player that had career ending injuries. Just a player that that’s failed they’re own career progression, and not injuries.

Feel free to suggest any video topics you’d like to see under my latest community post!

Yep, with a shit eating grin yapping it up with his bench teamate who also didn't give a shit

Josh Okogie was smiling too

A few games doesn’t change the last few years.

He's legitimately playing like Embiid in the last week. Shows you how good he can be when he decides to care, which for some reason is in the last month of a season on a team that is historically inept. Dude's perma online, so it's not impossible he saw this and was motived by it. There's another 'Ayton is a bust' video I saw floating around a few weeks ago, too.

@@lylewalker5681 Interesting take. Could be something to that, temporary motivation from people calling you a disappointment. Hopefully it continues, but I’m not holding my breath

Portland is where he’s going to turn his career around. These last couple weeks is just the start

@@lylewalker5681😂😂

I think the Suns are just fine 😂

that had nothing to do with it bro if ayton averaged 20 and 10 and had consistent good play in the playoffs nobody would care that he was picked above luka. nobody says "oh the rockets were stupid to pick hakeem over jordan" if your pick leads to winning it doesnt matter who was picked under you

Ayton was the right pick for the Suns. When the Suns drafted him that current roster already had 4 other guards

@@Jeremy-ot6pbgood point with that hakeem take

That’s a horrible take, a different mentality could’ve propelled him to a hall of fame career

@@Jeremy-ot6pbhe averages 16 and 10….

we'll see about that 😂😅

Max player in his 2K mycareer

Delusion at its finest. But I need to hear him say it.

That guy can really pass the ball

Can a few games change the last two years?

The last 5 or 6 even.

It’s that teensy bit of hope that made the Suns wait so long to pull the plug on Ayton. That sliver of potential gets shown. He just doesn’t want it.

He’s good at padding his stats to keep getting paid

stat padding for a putrid team

He's been doing good. I think we've forgotten that players need a couple of years to develop. No matter how good you start it'll still be a few years before you're at top of your game.

Nah u guys would’ve been a much better team with him

He would have fit right in on the Pacers. Your whole team doesn't play defense.

They’re aren’t bust or bad players

He's not a bust he's just a really rettardedd kid who used rettardd strength to get in the NBA, dude hasn't even used his brain for the last 10 years. You could get more out of a kid on the spectrum then DeAndre trying to read a book.

I’ve said this for years now, glad people see it

we need to stop calling players that are actually decent-good busts. a bust would be someone like anthony bennett

@@reyna1k Number one draft pick… underachieving.. a guy like deandre ayton.. definitely a bust But.. he still very young so things can still turnaround

Sarver let Joe Johnson walk and that started the end of that Nash-led Suns team. That teams should have won at least one chip.

Fr I don’t get why ayton is getting all the hate,just leave this man alone

Ben Simmons has made all nba teams. Markelle fultz got unlucky with injuries. Anthony bennet isnt even in the nba right now but you’re right he is the biggest bust ever. And you’re right about marvin bagley too but he honestly has a case for being better than da right now while being drafted lower

@@scooby1027 how is he the biggest bust ever??and u pick Marvin over ayton,bro you are actually stupid

definitely not the biggest bust but his talent is large and undeniable. He could be SO much better then he is, the literal only thing stopping him is himself. Thats a much bigger disappointment imo then simply not having the talent people thought you would develop or lost due to injury.

⁠@@scooby1027cmon bruh Marvin bagley is nowhere near ayton especially recently ayton has been outstanding

THATS WHAT I’m saying,weird time to make a video like this when DA is actually showing that he is the best player on Portland

That’s what I’m saying

Getting roasted drives engagement haha

this is what i came for

Ayton saw the vid fr

And your mom

He could have been a modern day David Robinson.

Past 6 games < past 6 years He'll put up solid numbers occasionally but as soon as he reaches a game that's important, he'll crumble like he always does.

@@user-fm7mf7ob9i he never put up this good of a stretch in Phoenix. Not even close.

Right
