Former overall number one pick Kwame Brown has had a terrible start to his NBA career. Brown has been traded twice, and this season he’ll suit up for his fourth team in seven years. Kwame’s potential has been a gift and a curse. He finds teams that believe in his game only to eventually disappoint them with his play.

Kwame Brown spoke with reporters via teleconference and said a low key role with the Pistons is exactly what his career needs.

“I think I’m in the best situation ever. I came in as the No. 1 draft pick and now there are no expectations.”

“I’m just happy I can come out and just play hard and play smart.”

Smart and play are two words I never use together when talking about Kwame Brown unless it’s ” that wasn’t a smart play by Kwame”. Gotta give KB props though. The brotha knows how to interview. He’s fooled Michael Jordan, Phil Jackson, and now Joe Dumars. Gregg Popovich will probably be the first person to call Kwame after he flames out in Detroit.

And Detroit.. If you don’t know what you’re getting in Kwame Brown lemme break it down for you. You’re getting a guy that can’t catch simple passes, and that blows gimme layups. The good news is Kwame knows how to party, especially if he’s injured and hanging out at a lesbian bar.

Despite what numerous people believe, Kwame Brown is no dummy. He knows that this basketball thing might not work out for him, and he’s thinking about his future.. At least I think he is. Kwame appears to be associated Brown Productions. Their website isn’t very functional but here’s their welcome statement:

I’m probably not one to talk but they might wanna check their spelling.. The Brown Productions site leads to the Barri Brown/Brown Productions MySpace page. There’s not a lot going on there, but if you’re wondering why the Los Angeles Lakers dumped Kwame Brown, other than the fact that he was Frank Caliendo/Charles Barkley turrabul, it’s probably because he partied too much.

I got these images from the MySpace page. Let’s follow the dates.

First up, the Brown Productions logo:

Next up, the female review on June 29, 2007.

The party was in Georgia, so who knows if Kwame showed up or not. I do know that he was in Los Angeles in early July of ’07 partying at a lesbian bar.

September 28, 2007

Kwame got a couple of his boys involved for this one.. Notice Brian Cook’s not on the team anymore? Two days later….

I understand guys hate reporting for training camp but two parties? Damn Kwame. Take a break.. For a month.

You starting to notice the trend yet? Good. This next one isn’t officially a Kwame Brown party. Brown Productions threw a party with Lakers point guard Jordan Farmar. Jordan obviously wasn’t paying attention to what happened to Brian Cook.

This is the party that featured the Kwame Brown commercial.

Can you imagine how much Kwame would party if he actually lived up to being the overall number one pick? That’s scary.

We’ve all gotten some bad gifts in our lifetime, and we’re a few weeks away from getting a few more. When you open the box with the ugly sweater that’s too small, or you get some cassettes as a stocking stuffer, be thankful. It coulda been worse. It coulda been Christmas eve 1992 and mom and dad got you a Todd Marinovich jersey. Nevermind the fact that Marinovich got benched week 11 (Nov. 15) and never played in an NFL game again. It’s a freakin Raiders jersey. Who the hell wants that crap?

Mike Williams is known more for his attempt at entering the NFL as a sophomore than for his actual NFL career. In two long seasons, Williams has amassed 37 catches for 449 yards, and two touchdowns. Not quite the numbers you would expect from a 10th overall draft pick.

There are a few factors that should be considered when talking about Mike’s slow start. Detroit drafted Williams in 2005 after having drafted receivers in the first round the two years prior, the team offense underwent a major makeover when Mike Martz joined the coaching staff in 2006, and he was playing for the Lions.

Williams was considered one of college football’s most dominate receivers when he was at USC. The naysayers would claim that he was the benefactor of playing with an all-star team, but I’d say he was a beast. His size and strength had NFL scouts drooling even if they questioned his speed. Once he made it to the league, Mike says there were other concerns about him.

“For some reason, I was labeled fat, lazy … a pot smoker. And that was the farthest thing from it. I really feel like, as far as the weight part of it, I was put in a position that since they didn’t have a plan for me, they could say, Well, because he doesn’t weigh 220, he’s not in shape to play … ‘ “

I won’t say that he’s in the best situation now, a sort of make or break season with a rookie quarterback and suspect offensive line, but he has to be feeling better than he did in Detroit. He gets to play for a guy he’s familiar with in Raiders head coach and former SC assistant Lane Kiffin, and he has the chance to prove that he wants to and can make it in the NFL. He should be comfortable and motivated which provides a perfect storm for rejuvenation.

Kiffin gives WR a do over. Thank you Sacramento Bee
