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.

Don’t over think it. Humans are humans. If they didn’t have their aspirations set high enough, the money from a rookie contract may have been all they wanted.

Kobe said he found it easier to dominate in the NBA since some people truly only played for a paycheck instead of a drive to win and succeed.
