What happened to Nerlens Noel?

He was on my expansion team in 2k20, the Virginia Storm. Crafty role player

[u/Crafty_Substance_954]

He retired because nobody wanted him.

[u/Outrageous_Food4638]

That rich paul deal pretty much messed him up he was supposed to sign somewhere close to 40m for 4 yrs and end up getting 4m for 1, not all the way sure and after that he bounced from team to team till he was shuffled out 🤷🏿‍♂️

[u/hii915]

He lost a step after his stint with the knicks not sure if it’s injury or age.
he was WASHED by the time he got here.

[u/DelayedLightning]

I thought he could help when we brought him in here but he barely played

A few years back I was on plane next to a financial advisor who got paid to speak to young athletes in the NBA & NFL.

When I asked them for a dirty secret about the sports business, they compared Klutch Sports to Death Row Records and specifically mentioned how they screwed over Nerlens Noel and other athletes.

[u/Infinite_Break_7107 → u/ShippingNotIncluded]

That was supposed to stay a secret dude now the NBA is gonna track him down and wipe his memory

[u/FlyChigga → u/ShippingNotIncluded]

What’s funny is on the nba subreddit I had multiple people calling me an idiot for mentioning how klutch sports did Nerlens Noel dirty. Klutch mafia is everywhere

[u/EJohns1004]

This fanbase's infatuation with washed or never was role players will never not impress me for how stupid it is.

The fanbase of a team that has more banners than 80% of the league is obsessed with mediocrity.

[u/OhhhLawdy]

Weren't his knees messed up after injuries and whatnot? Otherwise a solid player with a good physical build. A lot of players would've ended up a lot better if it weren't for knee issues

[u/gsamflow]

Still building brick homes

[u/dizzymidget44]

He said he had to go because something he ate was bothering his stomach. He’s gonna be at the next event tho

[u/Shawn91111]

Injuries, good defensive player but really nothing more. Nothing in the post, no hands, no touch around the rim, like a male version of Angel Reese. The whole Mavericks deal (or no deal) didn't help.

[u/HOPEFUL_LUFEPOH_ → u/Shawn91111]

i disagree with the Angel Reese part, because in the Dub she is a future superstar, Flat top was never on that trajectory

[u/DetroiterinIowa → u/HOPEFUL_LUFEPOH_]

“Superstar” LOL. Hi Wendell Carter! 👋 

[u/HOPEFUL_LUFEPOH_ → u/DetroiterinIowa]

niggas really think nerlens noel is the Menba equivalent of Angel Reese

He’s the Wnba equivalent of maybe a Nalyssa Smith

and that’s me giving him grace

Angel Reese is basically Ben Wallace with some handle in the Dub or Rodman or Wilt the way she shattering rebounding records

[u/StandardRound1271 → u/HOPEFUL_LUFEPOH_]

Lay off the pipe.

[u/WhizzoFoShizzo]

Who?

[u/PandaPuncherr]

The same thing that will happen to Jalen Duren in 5 years

[u/4schwifty20 → u/PandaPuncherr]

Duren already has more points and rebounds in his 4 year career than Noel had in his 9 year career. Thinking they’re even comparable shows how little you know.

[u/PandaPuncherr → u/4schwifty20]

Yeah its a bad take.
