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.

IQ and work ethic are extremely underrated predictors of a basketball player's success and athletics/physical abilities are vastly overrated...how many "freak athletes" have we seen flop? there are literally dozens of examples... how many "unathletic" players plummeted in the draft only to become All-Stars and Super Stars?

The first part I'm with you. But that second part... how many unathletic players did became All stars?
