Who are some guys who were seemingly in their prime, stars or borderline stars, but fell off after they left the teams that they made names for themselves on? It can be for any reason and from any area.
I thought about this when thinking of Shawn Kemp. He was a stud in Seattle, but made no real noise after leaving the Sonics. I remember last seeing him in Orlando depressingly overweight in his early 30s. Guy looked like a future HOFer at one point. I could be wrong, but I think I heard it had something to do with a drinking problem.
Anyhoo, who else comes to mind?

Just reading the title alone, Shawn Kemp came to mind on cue. He was actually still a solid player for a while after he left Seattle, but him and GP were never the same when they split...
Jason Collins claims he is the first openly gay NBA player despite the fact we witnessed the entire league bend the Lakers over all season.

Also, Michael Redd came to mind for some reason. He kinda started to fall off at the end of his Milwaukee career due to injuries anyway, but he was worthless after he left the Bucks.

Ariza.
If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love.
