What went wrong with Bamba? (alien.top)

Watching Wemby, I started googling to see who the most recent physical comparable would be.

Bamba is 7'0 with a 7'10" .

Drafted 6th and has done jack shit in 5 seasons. Still just 25 years old but a clear bust.

Did this freak of nature just not have any interest in basketball? Any major injuries? Does seem so. WTF happened to him?

Imagine getting a genetic lottery ticket of being 7' with a 7'10" wingspan and just decide youy'll quiet quit your way through your NBA career.

That’s like asking went wrong with Tacko Fall. Being extremely tall with a long wingspan doesn’t mean you’re automatically going to be a great basketball player. Players at that size usually have poor coordination. That’s what so special about Wemby.
