- What? Really? I call BS. Who is possibly a bigger bust than Kwame?

- Seriously, how to do you write this line “Before we lay out the evidence of Kwame’s career suckitude” and not provide a link to this blog in there?

Deadspin:

His latest move: He signed Kwame Brown. Yes, the infamous Kwame Brown. The question is: Why?

SimonOnSports:

 Kwame Brown was drafted number 1 overall by the Washington Wizards in 2001 and was listed as ESPN’s #1 draft bust of all time. He even has a website aptly named KwameBrownSucks.com devoted to the fact that he sucks.

BulletsForever:

• Has anyone ever recovered from having a site dedicated to how much they suck?

Savannah Morning News:

To this point, draft night has been the highlight of Brown’s professional career. The rest is often summed up in one word: Bust.

Wizards fans booed him out of the nation’s capital. One even started a Web site, kwamebrownsucks.com.

Any my absolute favorite:

The Big Lead:

Though he’s displayed flashes of athleticism, the former No. 1 pick straight outta high school never seemed to grasp the sport, always looked lost on the court, and a frustrated fan even started a negative blog about him (though it hasn’t been updated in 18 months).

Which had my absolute favorite comment:

started a negative blog about him (though it hasn’t been updated in 18 months).

Even blogs about Kwame are lazy and underacheive.

But in Kwame Brown, you will experience what us Wizards and Lakers fans have enjoyed the past few years: a basketball player who epitomizes the word “Suck”.

I will post more “The Pisons signed Kwame Brown?? Really?? For more money than the minimum?? Really? Is it April Fools? Come on, $4 mil for Kwame? You’re joking right?” stories and links later.

Instead, Page 2 identifies the candidates for the Least Valuable Player:
Kwame Brown, L.A. Lakers-Memphis
Statistical analysis: Think the Lakers were happy to dump this guy on Memphis? The former No. 1 overall pick is averaging 18.9 minutes per game and shooting 41 percent on free throws. Brown did score a season-high 11 points on April 2 — wait, that was against the Knicks. Since then he has a streak of three consecutive DNP-CDs, including last Friday’s blowout loss to the Warriors, in which he was the only Grizzly not to play. The one thing that undermines Brown’s LVP chances is his contract, which expires at the end of this season.

Feb Numbers:

7 games played.
17 total points.

March:
6 games played.
16 total points.

So, I’m going with UCLA over Tennessee in the title game. If you have that as your final as well, set your pool on fire right now because that’s the most fun you’ll have with it. I’m never right about anything. Then again, even Kwame Brown grabs a rebound every once in a while. You never know.

Winners:

Lakers: Landed Pau Gasol for Kwame Brown and Javaris Crittenton, also known together as “basically nothing.”

It seems like a pretty stupid move by Chris Wallace. No offense, I don’t know him personally, but you don’t give away Pau Gasol for what they got back. I mean, Chicago wanted Pau Gasol. They would have given something back in return. I mean, something. Ladies and gentlemen, they have Darko and Kwame at the four and the five. That’s all I’m going to say.

Director of Police Larry A. Godwin has urged all citizens of Memphis who will be celebrating any occasion in the downtown area of Memphis to please consider alternative dessert options.

Hey Kwame Brown, good news and bad news.The good news is that you’re no longer going to be booed by the home fans in LA!  Cool.

The bad news is that you’re going to be booed by your new home fans in Memphis.

–

The good news is that the Grizzlies don’t have a lot of fans, so there’s not that many people left to boo you!

The bad news is that you might be put back into a starting lineup, a new and wonderful opportunity for more failure.

Thanks to all who sent this in.

(Now, amazingly, both the Lakers and Washington Wizards can say they were better off for having Brown. Not better off with him, but Washington traded Brown for Caron Butler, and now the Lakers have Gasol. Brown netted All-Stars for two franchises. That’s a pretty good accomplishment for a No. 1 draft pick bust.)

Think we’ll have quotes from Kwame similar to when he left DC? Along the lines of “I’m happy - I have a better house, a better team” referring to LA? Yeah Kwame…enjoy Memphis. Say hello to Juan Carlos Navarro.
