Hasheem Thabeet: We’ve got a Problem!

Ushauri wa bure!!!


The Memphis Grizzlies refers him as Hasheem “Thabust” just to indicate their sentiments due to poor contribution he brings on the table for his organization. The atmosphere is not compelling at all; it won’t be a surprise to learn of another assignment that would send Hasheem Thabeet to NBA’s Development League.


Hasheem, who once was a hero in the college league when played at Uconn, is definitely doing nothing impressive to his team. The rage is on among intolerant fans that could not spare their sentimental feeling towards him, considering that they blew out a second overall pick to select Mr. “Thabust”.


Hasheem is among Tanzanians who could make us proud and yes he still can, but there is some sort of extra efforts need to be taken. NBA sio lelemama, big stars (Shaq, Olajuwon, Michael Jordan, Kobe etc) didn’t get there easily. There is a lot to give up, and yes a lot to work upon. Trips to Tanzania on every bit of NBA break will not help the process. You need to maximize the off season segment for an advancement of your career.


Hasheem Thabeet was drafted in summer 2009 as a second overall pick by the Memphis Grizzlies, to set a remarkable and landmark event to the country he was born in (Tanzania) and East Africa as a whole. I want to believe that every “bongoman” celebrated to the fullest…ooh it was a proud moment of our time. I remember inviting West African friends “Wapopo” at my house for nyama choma and drinks, as the banner waved in front of my house reading “CELEBRATING HASHEEM THABEET ACHIEVEMENT”.


The Memphis wants a trade! They want to…not as their wishes to throw away their own second pick No! But only to get rid of Mr. “Thabust” who has been not only less productive, but also a burden. Hasheem has established himself to be a liability on both offensive and defensive end on the court. The only thing he’s good at is fouling.

The problem they are facing is to find imminent deals to match up a “second pick” value.


Reports say that no team is willing to take Hasheem, unless packaged with other pieces for which Memphis is still contemplating the proposal. "The team is super disappointed in his lack of desire to get better. He is beyond bad, Yes he does nothing well. He doesn’t even block shots and he is not feared in the paint anymore" says one of the fans.


Hasheem has lost touch with the game. His performance is awful. He rarely score points (avg 1.4 per game), grabs rebounds (1.40 per game), and 0.0 assists. His playing time dropped drastically and fans expect anything when he enters the game.


Now, we all know that Hasheem came into the game with limited basketball skills, but that does not restrict him from excelling his potential. There are more qualities a player needs to have instead of just being tall and Hasheem just doesn't have those abilities right now. I will give him one small excuse; he didn't start playing basketball until he was 15.


Hakeem Olajuwon bears an identical background Hasheem has. He started playing at the age of 15, but Hakeem “The Dream” knew what was due to shape up his game. He did his assignments and achieved a major accomplishment in the league, two times NBA titles.


This article has nothing to do with malicious motive, but a wakeup call to reboot Hasheem’s intensity to press toward the original purpose and live up to the expectations. We (wabongo) are still living a hope we have in you. One day your game will turn around, if only some seriousness is attached to the process. I wish you all the best in your endeavor. Happy New Year kijana!

Mwanaspoti.

Kuna Maoni 25 mpaka sasa.

Tatizo la Hasheem ni kwamba Ana akili sawa na wasanii Wa fleva. Akitoa singo yake moja anajiona yeye ni staa, na ndivyo Hasheem, katoka alipopata sifa kemkem basi akajuwa na NBA itakuwa hivyo hivyo. Haka kajamaa kaacheni tu ki enjoy maisha for the time being maana hapa ndo mwisho wake.

Oh come on!! Not him again...he real needs help.

Well wahenga walisema "Penye miti hapana Wajenzi" Huyu bwa mdogo watu wengi tulimpa ushauri kuhusu career yake lakini alikuwa anatoa majibu ya kujivuna na kuonyesha kiburi! Amejisahau kwamba yeye ni Industry na ili kutoa product yenye sifa sokoni unabidi ufanye kazi ya ziada na kuwa creative, lakini yeye kiwanda chake kilipopata kujilikana na kuwa na sifa kemkem basi akajisahau hata kufanya kazi tena kiwandani kaacha matokeo yake ni anazunguka kufanya ubishoo. Sasa matokeo yake ni kwamba itabakia historia kwamba nilishawahi kuwa picked NBA na nililipwa $M5 kwa contract. Thabeet kuna jamaa waliocheza NBA miaka ya nyuma na walimake over $100M lakini sasa hivi ni homeless wamepoteza kila kitu there were no plans in their life. That is what I see coming to you Thabeet. You need to change right now to avoid this situation.
Hayo ndo mawazo yangu.

LIKE NOAH TWISS SAID "WHEN UR IN TOP MADAFAUKERS WANA BRING YOU DOWN!!! MADAKUFUKESR DONT EVEN KNOW HASHEEM LOL.....
FUUUUCK UUU HAAAATERSSSSSSSS!!!

LIKE NOAH TWISS SAID "WHEN UR IN TOP MADAFAUKERS WANA BRING YOU DOWN!!! MADAKUFUKESR DONT EVEN KNOW HASHEEM LOL.....
FUUUUCK UUU HAAAATERSSSSSSSS!!!

LIKE NOAH TWISS SAID "WHEN UR IN TOP HATERS WILL WANA BRING YOU DOWN!!! PEOPLE DONT DONT EVEN KNOW HASHEEM LOL..... DEEEAAM , STOP HAAATING!!!

tulisema kuhusu suala hili na naona linaanza kuchukua mkondo wake

Drazen Petrovic struggled when drafted to play at Portland Trailblaizers, hakucheza kabisa, stats zake zilikuwa kama za Hasheem za sasa, na he got traded to the New Jersy Nets,andwow, hata Portland were like, huh?
Hasheem needs to be traded to another team if he is to be resurrect his career.

Whoever is seeing this as "hating" on Hasheem anaonyesha ufinyu wa akili. Kama watanzania kwanini tumchukie mwenzetu? What the writer is saying is simple, wake the fuck up and smell the damn coffe before your time is up. Health and athletic abilities are a God given gift and use them to the maximum. Hasheem no one is trying to hate on you bro, we more than anything love you and wish the very best for you but you gotta get serious with this shit. At this rate Hasheem you will be lucky to remain in the league when you contract is up. Dude how many times do we hear of the best players still taking time and working with the legends to improve their game? Case in point Dwight Howard, he worked with Hakeem Olujawon this past summer and thats a player that was in the MVP conversations last year. Call up Mutombo or something, just do something for fucks sake, if not you better make your money and save it well because good luck getting on any team after the current contract. You are right no one knows you but we damn sure feel for you and trust me for all the shit I talked to people for you when you got drafted I'm catching flack for it because in all honest you have become a laughingstock. Above all know that is not too late, the truth is you were drafted because of the your potential not your overall skill sets, and you still have that potential you just gotta make that manifest somehow. All the best and I'm cool with people thinking I or anyone else is hating on you if thats what it takes for you to wake up and see the damn bigger picture.

Hey NO BODY HATE HASHEEM! AND NO BODY WANT HIM TO GO DOWN!! WE WANT HIM TO REPRESENT OUR COUNTRY WE DON'T NEED EVEN A SINGLE PENNY FROM HIM. I WE DON'T EVEN WANT TO MEET HIM! WHAT WE WANT IS TO SEE HIM SUCCEEDING IN LIFE WE WISH HIM ALL THE BEST AND WE WANT HIM TO CHANGE HIS BEHAVIOR AND WORK HARD FOR HIS LIFE AND HIS FAMILY. IF HE LOSES IS GOING TO BE A SHAME FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTRY OF TANZANIA. HE NEED TO PROVE US WRONG BY GREAT PERFORMANCE.
THAT IS THE ONLY THING WE WANT NOTHING ELSE.

Ngoja niweke mbele yafuatayo: mimi ninamsapoti hasheem thabeet asilimia mia moja na moja. Ninataka ashinde tuzo nyingi na awe one of the best centers in the nba.

Sasa, ngoja niweke mbele nilichokiona na macho yangu: recently nilipata nafasi yakumuona hasheem 'live' akicheza kwenye nba, hakucheza dakika nyingi (gasol is their main center now) na kusema ukweli siwezi kutoa definitive conclusion based on dakika mbili tatu alizocheza. Lakini zile dakika mbili tatu alizocheza zilikuwa aibu tupu.

Katika miaka yangu yote ya kuangalia mpira wa kikapu sijapata kuona mchezaji mbovu kama hasheem. Yaani nilikuwa na rafiki zangu watatu wa kimarekani na niliona aibu kabisa kumshangilia hasheem. Lakini kama nilivyosema mwanzo mimi ninamsapoti kwenye nba asilimia mia moja na moja, so nilimshangilia ingawa alikuwa anacheza vibaya sana.

Mimi nilidhani tatizo lake ni offense tu lakini my word hata defense hawezi! He is very tall in person, na ukimwangalia upande zote kwenye court utaona ana presence kali sana! Lakini rebound hapati! Blocks hapati! Assist hapati! Shots ndo kabisaaa...

I wish ningejua tatizo lake ni nini, maybe hafanyi practice? Maybe hapendi the team management? Kweli ilikuwa ni aibu kubwa kumuona live, I really thought he was just an average player but he played very bad in the game. My friends kept telling me all rookies start out slow but I have never witnessed such a bad player before.

Hasheem once again I support you 101 percent but please you must improve hasheem, yaani kila ulipogusa mpira the entire crowd was stone-faced yaani namaanisha hata hawakuonyesha interest in you at all. Na hao ni mashabiki wa team yako!

- Daudi aka D-One

This is an eloquent and a very good article that will help Hasheem to reflect his progress for his own benefit. Actually I was disappointed to learn that Issa Michuzi and Majjid Mjengwa did not publish in their popular blogs!!!Why? Isn't this significant to help Hasheem promote his skills? Aren't you guys (Michuzi & Mjengwa) supposed to play any role in this boy's career? Come on you can do better that! Kubania article sio ujanja bali ni uozo!!!

Tusiwe unfair na ku expect too much kwa kijana wetu sababu hiyo itampa pressure na stress sana. Hakuna haja ya kumlinganisha na wengine, hao kina Olojuwon, etc. Nyie mnataka mtanzania awe Ronaldinho all of a sudden!! Yeye ni BINADAMU si MACHINE. Mi naona Hasheem anajitahidi kwa uwezo wake na si mzembe. Hata akitoka hiyo NBA kwa sasa AMESHATUWAKILISHA VIZURI NA KUBEBA BENDERA YA TANZANIA NA SI AIBU. Tatizo lenu mnataka awe kama ma staa mnaowafikiria lakini hii si lazima. Kijana Hashim take it easy about negative comments but work hard and ENJOY your LIFE and GAME. Wakikupa stress sana huko US, nenda Germany au Italy ucheze game yako na u enjoy Life. Hata kama usipofikia mega stardom kama watu wanavyotaka, umeshaonesha njia na vijana wa bongo wataendeleza ulipoishia miaka ijayo. Kumbukeni huyu ni mwakilishi wetu wa kwanza at this level na anapambana na mambo mengi on and off the court, kuzingatia hakukulia marekani. Mwacheni kijana afanye anachoweza.

We mchangiaji hapo juu you are a FOOL, sorry to use that word. hakuana maendeleo yanayokuja kwa kurelax na kupweteka, na hilo ndo tatizo kubwa tulilonalo watanzania tunafikiria maisha yatakuja kiurahisi rahisi ehh, sis hatutaki aishie kufungua njia na kupotelea katikati, afungue njia na kuendelea ili ndo iwe rahisi kwa hao vijana wengine, unadhanni Hasheem akiharibu itakuwa rahisi kwa hao wengine, and who told you kwamba nchi zingine zinaitaji watu wasiojituma? wake up bro hii sio dunia ya majaribia hii ni dunia ya utendaji na uwajibikaji kaka zaidi tutaishia kuwa wasindikizaji maisha yetu yoye. we are so proud of him and we want him to successed more that now. eti asifananishwe na wengine unadhani hao walikujaje au walikuaje maarufu, ni kwa kujituma hasa. Watanzani tubadilike na tuache akili za kuwa ahh watafanya wengine, au wao wanaweza why not us? i hate people wjo are lazy and narrow thinkers and you are one of them. look at our leaders what are they doing? nothing, why becasue they know that is how we Tanzania are. dunia hii inabadilika and we need kubadilika actions has to be taken everywhere, twaitaji kujituma, nchi hizo zingine zinaendelea sio sababu ya uongozi mzuri tu pia kujitambua na kuwajibika kwa wanachi na karama zao walizojariwa, America are so successfully because of number of factors one being good in sports, movie, music few to mention.

Usiniite fool..kama kajitahidi imeshindikana unalazimishia nini? Cheza wewe basi hiyo basket au fanya chochote na wewe uwe superstar. Nimesema mimi namuona huyu kijana anajua anachofanya na anapata ushauri wa kutosha kwa hiyo hizo hasira zako na ushauri wako sioni kama zitasaidia chochote. Kama wewe si narrow thinker fanya basi hadi hapo yeye alipofikia hadi sasa...watu mnalazimisha mambo tuuu na kumchanganya kijana wa watu...mambo ya mifano ya our leaders, etc hayaendani na hii issue. Mimi naona hadi sasa Hasheem ni successful na ingawa ni muhimu afikie u mega star, lakini hata ikishindikana yeye SI FAILURE kama wewe au wengine mnavyotaka ionekane.. Nyie mnaotaka kujenga picha kwamba yeye ni FAILURE, nyinyi ndio ma FAILURE si yeye

HASHEEEM THABEET,IV BEEN PLAYING KIKAPU TOKA NAMIAKA9 ILA ASIKUAMBIE MTU KIKAPU SIO RAHISI UKIZINGATIA HAO JAMAA NDIO WAMEZALIWA WAMEKUTA WAZEE WAO WANACHEZA WE MWENZANGU NA MIMI TUNAKUTANA MWANANYAMALA AMREF SIKULAUMU KWALOLOTE WASIOJUA WATAKULAUMU WANAOJUA HAWATASEMAKITU UKIWA NJE YA UWANJA UNAONA KINACHOFANYIKA NDANI MULE N KAWAIDA ILA HAPATOSHI MULE KAMA MBELE YA DULA MPEMBA,MAKENE,SAMBOE,OBOTE HAHAHA, HAPATOSHI NA DIBO MBELE YA KOBE NA WADE UTAFANYA NN JAMA NBA SIMCHEZO IVERSON YUPOWAPI JIULIZENI ,MAZEE HASHIM ANAJITAIDI COZ PALE NDANI HAPATOSHI WATU WAPO KIKAZI ZAIDI ,USHAURI KWA THABEET OI KAZA MSULI PIGATIZI SANAAA SAHAU HATA TZ FOR 3 YEARZ NAAMINI UTAKUA POA,WASIKUONGELEE SANA KWANI RICKY RUBIO YUPOWAPI NA MBONA HAWAMSEMI BANA!UNAJITAIDI KWA ULICHONACHO ILA KAZA MWANA!!!

Hasheem utambue kwamba ni jinsi gani watanzania tunavyokupenda na tunataka uendelee na uwe na mafanikio mazuri. Juzi siku ya X-mass nilimwona Lebron James akiwa na personal trainer wake, yeye badala ya kusheherekea sikukuu alikuwa anafanya mazoezi ya nguvu ninasema ya nguvu sio mchezo! Na wewe pia unatakiwa ufanye mazoezi ya nguvu na katika hela unayolipwa inabidi umtafute personal trainer ili uwe unafanya mazoezi pale unapokuwa na muda wa ziada tofauti na ule muda wa kuwa kambini kwenye mazoezi. Usipofanya hivyo mdogo wetu hii noma itakushinda. NBA sio college league ni tofauti kabisa inahitaji msuli wa ziada. Sikiliza maoni ya watu na wala usichanganyikiwe au kuwa stressed bali piga moyo konde na ujitahidi kwa bidii yote. Kama kutanua umeshatanua vya kutosha na kama kusafisha jina umeshasafisha jina ni wakati wa kurudi kazini sasa.
Tunakuombea afaya njema na mafanikio mazuri.
Watanzania tunakupenda na we are so proud of you na tutafurahi sana kama ukifanya kazi kwa bidii na kuitanganza nchi yetu.
Ni mimi Kikwete

Jamani tusitetee ujinga hapa lazima ieleweke kwamba kati yetu hakuna hata mmoja wetu anayemuombea njaa Hasheem..per my understanding the article was not meant to hate or make Hasheem feel bad rather its kinda of constructive criticism, a wake up call for the sleepy kid who has jus started a long,rough,tough journey..nothing good comes easy, you have to toil big time to stay put in the NBA,visibly the toughest basketball league in the world..may be Hasheem needs to see a shrink..or simply seek audience with the game legends for pro and tactical advice..don't be big headed coz it will hurt you in the long run..we love you damn much thats why it dissapoints us to see you ruin your good started career..no mistake is too great to recover and bounce back, you can do it, you have to do it,go kid and prove them wrong its not too late...!

tough love negro..!!Yo,nobody hates this Negro, we all love him, but,we have 2 keep it real!! this Negro sucks !!he needs to work harder,NBA is not for Faggots...Man up Negro !!

This fool who is saying "haters", needs to stop, because you obviously do not care about the man's career. the fact that someone has taken the time to write this shows that they care. we all want to see him succeed, its seems that these days as soon as someone is not kissing up to someone else he or she is classified a hater. grow up man. anyway i think maybe Hasheem should go the Dwight Howard route and hire a mentor like Patrick Ewing or Dikembe Mutombo to coach him and give him some guidance or something.

Hasheem, haya yote yanayoongelewa hapa ni muhimu sana kwako. Unaelewa kwamba mkataba wako ukiisha ipo kazi kubwa ya kutafuta team ya kukupa mkataba mwingine, na kwa mtindo huu na jinsi ninavyosoma forums za Memphis sidhani kama kuna timu itakayojitokeza kukusajili, ikiwa hivyo utakuwa umepoteza nafasi hii nyeti. Ushauri wangu: Tafuta personal trainers kwa kila idara; defense, offense, na stamina. You need to grab more rebounds, block substantial shots, and score points. I see a lot of potential in you which is rarely promoted. Yes the game is tough, but you have all it takes to make a good player. Ushauri wa pili; push hard for a trade ili uende timu itakayokupa playing time. This will help you maximize your potentials. When you went to NBDL you were more productive due to playing time na NBDL haina tofauti sana na NBA main league, hivyo you will chances to excell your game. Ukiendelea kukaa hapo mkataba ukiisha utatupwa bila huruma pamoja na kwamba Memphis watakuwa wameingia hasara hawatajali sana watachoshukuru ni kuondokana na wewe. Usijipe matumaini sana ya kucheza Europe coz huko nako ni kugumu. Kumbuka US ilikuwa inadharau sana Europe na kupeleka timu mbovu kwenye michuano ya FIBA, haikuweza kuchukua ubingwa mpaka kina Kobe walipoipa tafu. Even Iverson and Steve Francis they're not the same they used to be in the league. Chukulia hii ka,a changamoto na si fitina...utafika mbali.

Kwanza Bro" trip za Bongo achan nazo kabisa tafuta maisha kwanza.
Hii chance never happen again Bro
You can be a BIG MAN IN NBA RIGHT NOW IF YOU PUT YOUR TIME AND EFFORT FOR THE GAME AND PLAY HARD Bro'
You don't have to score 20 point or 15 rebound keep playing hard and game will come to you.But you have to spend money for the Trainer [EX NBA PLAYER]. NBA player goes to the camp learn how to played the game.
I watch your game you need stamina ,offense and deffence to improve your game, you have to be real hardcore Bro"[So many team looking for Big Man right now].
"College you real played good"
NBA IS THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD REMEMBER THAT.
Forget about Bongo trip improve your game first before is too late Brother.
Happy new year

Kwa kweli mtu anayesema ni ma haters wanaounga mkono hii habari ni wendawazimu..mimi binafsi ni kama jamaa aliyeandika nimekuwa mfuatiliaji mkubwa wa kijana Thabusts toka yuko college UCONN..na nilikuwa very proud kumnadi kila sehemu kuwa kuna mtanzania anakuja NBA..siku aliyochaguliwa nilikuwa mbele ya TV nikishangilia na rafiki zangu kuwa finally mbongo katutoa..lakini ndugu yetu anatuangusha kupita kiasi..nitatoa mfano wa wakali wa NBA..2009 ndugu yetu hasheem alipokuja bongo mkali Kobe bryant alikuwa anajifua na Hakeem olujuwan wakati wa summer kuongeza vitu katika game lake..wakali kama michael jordan walikuwa wanajulika kwa work ethics..walikuwa hawachukui day off..walikuwa wa kwanza kuwa gym na wa mwisho kuondoka..wakali huwa wanaweka malengo kuwa kila summer wanaimprove game lao katika some areas..usione watu wanaacha kazi zao kumcheki lebron james anasema nini ukaona duh jamaa ana bahati..nawaonea huruma ma fans wa memphis maana naona kila wakiangalia maendeleo ya wachezaji kama Tyreke evans au stephen curry huwa wanapata uchungu mkubwa...kuhusu hiyo milion 5 aliyopta akumbuke wachezaji kama antoine walker ambaye ametengeneza zaidi ya 100$ million hivi sasa wanahangaika na maisha madeni mpaka machoni..ndugu yangu hasheem hiyo ni bahati kuna vijana kibao wako mitaani huku wana talents kuliko wewe..jikazi kijana au utarudi bongo kuimba bongo flava...

Wajameni angalia hii comment..."Seriously no one who sees that play can think anything besides "******** Thabeet is TERRIBLE". Please trade him or just send him to the d league permanently cause that's exactly what he deserves". Nimeipata hapa
