I know a fuck ton of nba players and I have no memory of Shawn Long

happyhappy7 | PHI

128 | 15 hours ago

Looks like he played on 18 games during the 16-17 season with the 76ers.

I would say conservatively I likely watched at least 10 of those 18 games. There is absolutely zero chance I could have named Shawn Long as a former 76er.

He looks vaguely familiar. But man I don’t remember him at all. He had a handful of 10+ point games too.

As a Sixers fan I vividly remember Shawn Long because I was convinced he was going to be a stud. His per 36 minute numbers and analytics were all fantastic, I honestly can’t comprehend how he never played an NBA game again after this season lol

Looking at his career it seems he just decided that he’d rather be great as a journeyman in Asian and Oceania than fight for a spot in the NBA. Who knows, maybe he’s really into Asian women…

Yeah, a cursory glance at his stats makes it surprising that he didn’t play any more NBA ball at all. Being ¹⁹⁄₃₅ from the line is bad but his ⁷⁄₁₉ from 3 is more than respectable for a guy that is getting 4.7 rebounds in only 13 minutes of game time and shooting 56% from the field.

I know it was in only 13 MPG on a horrible Sixers team but he put up 22.⁸⁄₁₃.¹⁄₂.0/1.⁴⁄₁.4 per 36 minutes in 18 games on very good efficiency. Team was +9.8 per 100 possessions with him on the floor. Surprised he never played another NBA game after that, you’d think that would at least earn him a shot as a 3rd string center somewhere.

I remember this game and moment. I would’ve named any other member of the 76ers at this time before the name Shawn Long was considered

Was a burly, slow and kinda undersized big from…I wanna say UL-Lafayette. Played for us and the Rockets iirc. Wasn’t great but I do think about him from time to time because he showed some flashes when he was with us.

B_Boudreaux | NOP

The 2nd best player to come out of UL, after Elfrid Payton. Sean Long was not well liked though he acted like a diva, while Elf acting like a professional and was very well liked here.

lol he went to Louisiana Lafayette when I was in college and my school was in the same conference and he was an absolute monster in the Sun Belt. If you told me he averaged 30 and 15 on like 68% shooting every time they played us I’d be like yeah probably

Yeah I feel like at this point these players are playing for a potential spot, and don’t really care about the score or winning

Love Shawn Long. I got to watch him a lot when he played for Osaka Evessa. A lot of fun and guaranteed a cool dunk a game. Think he’s back in Korea now, and won the championship last season.

QuizzyP21

14 | 13 hours ago

He was actually a stud in the 18 games he played with us (Sixers fan). I can’t comprehend how he never played an NBA game again after per 36 averages of 23/13/2/1.⁴⁄₁.4 on great efficiency in that stretch

JDOsaka

5 | 8 hours ago

Rockets got him in a trade and waived him.

I don’t think many teams wanted a score first center, and Long’s defence probably wasn’t up to scratch.

He was quite portly during his time in Osaka, if he was similar earlier in his career then I can see another reason he wasn’t signed.

Sheriff_Gotcha | PHI

21 | 9 hours ago

I did not know who Shawn Long was and I was ready to laugh along with everyone until I saw this was a Sixers game… These were dark times, but also somehow fond times; probably due to the lack of expectations.

Also, that was a soft offensive foul to call in a 30 point blowout.

Blackmalico32 | MIL

CutLonzosHair2017 | LAL

Tbh wasn’t much of a howl. And it wasn’t a flashy dunk. Kyrie chirping was making a mountain out of a molehill to begin with. This level of shit happens in every blowout.

untakennamehere | CLE

28 | 15 hours ago

Pretty sure there was a tech or hard foul before this.

*Lebron was hard fouled in the first and kyrie took a flagrant. It was bad energy the whole game

Not really, NBA players are usually pretty aware of the score as they can see the jumbotron and are pretty much reminded of it every timeout.

To be fair, if I was actually athletic enough to 1) make it to the NBA and 2) dunk a basketball, I’d be howling like crazy no matter what the score.

I missed Elfrid by a year! Saw some great games with RJ Hunter who I wanna say went like 15th or 16th to the Celtics and Ryan Harrow a Kentucky transfer who had HANDLES.

so you only got one year of Shawn Long then. RJ played for his Dad and we had a hell of a time hollaring at him fir walking on the court.

Whats the offensive foul for? Daring to touch lebron?

[Highlight] Shawn Long with the cutting dunk and the howl, and Kyrie Irving tells him, “Hey, you down by 27, bro.“LeBron James scores an easy 2 at the other end, and the Cavaliers announcer reminds us that LeBron outscored Long by 27,000 points. 3/31/2017
