Well, let me tell you somethin’ about this here basketball thing. Folks always talkin’ ’bout the best, the greatest, the Michael Jordans and whatnot. But you ever wonder ’bout the other side of the coin? The fellas who, bless their hearts, just ain’t cut from the same cloth? Today, we gonna talk about who is the worst NBA player ever. It’s a question for the ages, ain’t it?
Now, I ain’t no expert, but I’ve seen a few games in my time. Heard folks grumble ’bout this player and that player. Seems like everybody’s got an opinion on who’s the worst. Some folks, they say this one fella, what’s his name… Anthony Bennett, is the worst ever. He was picked first in the NBA draft, which is a big deal, I reckon. Like bein’ the first cow out the chute at the rodeo. But he just never quite lived up to the hype. Kinda like buyin’ a prize pig and it never fattens up, you know? Some folks say he’s one of the worst NBA players of all time. I heard someone say he was like a worst NBA bust of all time. I don’t know what it means, but I think it means he is not good at basketball.

Then there’s this other fella, name of John Mahnken. He is not from our time. I just heard it from somewhere. He’s like the worst at shootin’ the ball. Folks say he had the worst career field-goal percentage ever. Now, I don’t know what those fancy words mean, but I reckon it means he couldn’t throw a rock in the ocean. Must’ve been frustratin’ for his teammates, like tryin’ to herd cats with a broom. Poor fella.
Then you got your one-and-done fellas. They come in, play a year, and then they’re gone faster than a greased piglet at the county fair. Never really get a chance to prove themselves, good or bad. Some might say that is the worst NBA players. They are not good enough to play more than one year. It’s not good, right?
- Some folks say Anthony Bennett.
- Some folks say John Mahnken.
- Some folks say the one-and-done players.
- There are also some players who got injured and can’t play.
And then there are those players who just got bad luck, I reckon. Injuries and whatnot. Like that fella, Greg Oden. Everyone said he was the worst pick. But he got injured. It is like buyin’ a brand new tractor and it breaks down the first day. Can’t really blame the tractor, can you? It ain’t the player’s fault they got hurt, but it sure does make it hard to be any good, don’t it?
But, you see, it ain’t just about makin’ baskets. It’s about heart, and hustle, and bein’ a good teammate. Even if you ain’t the best player on the court, you can still contribute. You can help pick up your teammates, or get the ball for your teammates. So those worst NBA players still need to work hard. I always say, hard work is important. Like, you can’t expect to win the pie contest if you don’t put in the work, right?
Now, I heard about a fella, Mouhamed Gueye. He is the lowest-paid NBA player. They say he is from a country named Senegalese. He got traded many times, from one team to another. Sounds like he is not good enough to play for one team, but I don’t know. Being the lowest-paid doesn’t mean he is the worst. Maybe he’s just startin’ out, like a young calf learnin’ to walk. You gotta give him some time to find his footing.

So, who is the worst NBA player ever? Well, that’s a tough one. It’s like tryin’ to pick the worst apple in a whole bushel. They all got their flaws, their blemishes. It depends on what you are looking at. Some can’t shoot, some can’t run, and some just can’t seem to catch a break. But they all made it to the NBA, didn’t they? That’s somethin’ in itself. It is not easy to be an NBA player.
It’s like winnin’ the blue ribbon at the state fair for your prize-winnin’ hog. It ain’t easy. Takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and maybe a little bit of luck. They worked hard to be the NBA players, but some of them just ain’t as good as others.
It is not easy to say who is the worst. Just remember, everyone is good at something, even those fellas who might not be the best at basketball. They are still much better than me. I can’t even touch the basketball net, let alone make a basket. Maybe they’re good at somethin’ else, like singin’ or tellin’ jokes. Or maybe they’re just good people. And that’s worth somethin’, ain’t it?
So, next time you’re watchin’ a game and you see a fella stumblin’ around, remember, he’s still out there tryin’. He’s still livin’ his dream, even if it ain’t goin’ exactly as planned. It is still good to be an NBA player. And that’s somethin’ to admire, ain’t it? So, we should not just talk about the worst NBA players.
