Did LaMelo Ball deserve all that attention? / Player Deep Dive
Love him or hate him, you could argue that aside from Zion Williamson, LaMelo Ball is probably the most famous player of this mixtape era. If he were just some kid out in California throwing no-look passes and shooting wild, contested 35-footers, it'd probably be different. But LaMelo was born the son of LaVar Ball, an insistent promoter who burst on the scene in 2016 to let us know how remarkable he and his sons are.

Cade Cunningham Could Be the NBA's Next Pick-and-Roll Wizard
zhlédnutí 102KPřed 4 lety
As a primary ball handler and facilitator, Cade has a unique build. You'll see him listed at either 6'6" or 6'7", depending on the source, and he's also had his wingspan measured at seven feet. That’s a significant plus wingspan for his player type. Cunningham's not the type of quick-twitch athlete that makes you rewind the tape over and over, but for Cade's size, he's an intriguing blend of lo...
Blue Chips is Wildly Underrated
zhlédnutí 32KPřed 5 lety
(I noticed that I spelled "Dakich" incorrectly. Whooooooops.) On February 18th, 1994, just a few weeks before the NCAA Tournament, Paramount Pictures released a somewhat legendary movie called Blue Chips. It melded the tradition and passion for basketball in the state of Indiana, the excitement of discovering the next great players, and the sizzle of the forbidden, in the form of scandal. The f...

Decoding the Dazzling Darius Garland - Player Breakdown / Scouting Reel
zhlédnutí 119KPřed 5 lety
Darius Garland is a creative, thrilling 6-2, and 175-pound guard originally from Gary, Indiana. He spent a short season of college basketball at Vanderbilt for Bryce Drew, the man who always looks like he’s getting ready to take an offering, hold the hands of an older lady, thank her for her green bean casserole and pray. Might be a good career path for him now that’s he’s been fired. I KID! (I...

Things were different on November 16th, 1999. The NBA was still in the early steps of the post-Jordan era. Mambo #5 was the most popular song in America. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s End of Days was soaring to unseen cinematic heights. It was also the day that Bol Bol was born in the South Sudan to his legendary father, Manute. Bol is a mild-natured, 7-foot-2 and 235-pound center with soft hands and...
Expect the Spectacular: A Closer Look at Ja Morant (Player Breakdown / Scouting Reel)

Temetrius Jamel Morant-or “Ja,” as you likely know him is a 6’3”, 175-pound lead guard from Dalzell, South Carolina with fluid, cat-like athleticism and a knack for creating opportunities. Every single time I say his name I think of the matchmaker lady from Mulan and say his name in that voice. Ja was very lightly recruited out of high school; he was a no-star player with only two college offer...

Quickness Over Thickness: Assessing the Sacramento Kings

A lot has been made of the pace boom in the NBA. As we approach the first quarter mark of the season, the pace of play is the highest it’s been since the 1988-89 season, and the Kings are solidly at the forefront of the movement. They’re second currently in the league in pace of play, skyrocketing up those rankings from 30th a year ago. They’re also first overall in average cumulative team spee...
Hasty Takes: The Milwaukee Bucks - Should We Fear the Deer?
zhlédnutí 73KPřed 5 lety
If the Milwaukee Bucks are a bottle of Valentina hot sauce, this offseason they put an extra hole in their spout, and the offense is flowing now. They did this in a couple of ways. First, they signed a forward-thinking coach in Mike Budenholzer that could ease them into a modern mindset, offensively.

Let’s Overreact to Zion Williamson’s First Game

Well, it finally happened: we saw Zion Williamson in a Duke uniform. A year ago, if I’d said the words ‘Zion Williamson in a Duke uniform,’ it would’ve been as a joke about signs of the end times. To be so famous at such a young age and to already be lauded as one of the most explosive, unthinkably athletic humans ever to pick up a basketball, we really did not have a ton to go on in terms of r...

Def liked Blue Chips. Well acted, full of electricity. Still, Space Jam gets my vote as best basketball film, it was just a hare more realistic than any of the others.

This movie taught me that college players weren’t paid… Even as a 7 year old, I knew that was wrong.
Matt Nover played for Bellinzona in Switzerland for a year after the release of this film. The crazy thing is that I loved that film, and I played for Bellinzona in those years, and I didn't know he was there. Obviously I was in the youth team, 14 years old, but it's still absurd that I didn't know. I just discovered it on Wikipedia..
Is the song in the intro sampling los angeles negros-como quisiera decirte?
Funkdoobiest, it is.
this channel dead ?
Coming back to this after 6 years is pretty funny
The perfect video.
Sadly this age like milk left in a fridge when there no electricity
With every passing year, this video ages perfectly.

So I'm in Frankfort right now cuz I live here and I'm at the blue chips anniversary game. They showed your video too!! It's pretty awesome. Did you know they filmed the practices in the Frankfort middle school gym?
Coming from January 2024 where this man is a top 3 MVP candidate and has the youngest team in the league getting attention as a title favorite. Crazy that J Kyle was higher on Shai than most and still underestimated him, "not a high level scorer in the league" is really funny
Hi Dime Drop. Great Video. Love the movie. Where did you find the on set footage of filming Blue Chips?
Well he's lighting bit up in Turkey now, just wish he had gotten an actual opportunity in the league. Maybe he will again in the next few years.
Here after he molly wopped 36, 9 and 8 on the Celtics heads 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You know it's a (negative)problem when you are a top 3 pick and your highlights are motor and athleticism. I just dont trust those kind of picks tbh
Hey! I have family in Frankfort IN and remember when they filmed there. And yes, people always have a laugh when you confirm that yes, the local high school team is indeed the Frankfort Hot Dogs.
One of my favorite movies
Modern NBA is a joke. Watching a player on a fast hreak stop and pop a 30 foot 3 pointer with no defenders in front of him is laughable.
Coming from the future, he's good a pretty good meme about him now, so that's solid
The two best teams of the Seventies - the Knicks and Celtics, who were the only teams to win multiple championships - were both small. Reed was a power forward who moved to center. Bradley was too small for forward, and Debusschere was undersized for a power forward. On the Celtics, Cowens was undersized, and Havlicek was a guard playing forward. On top of that, you had the Bullets starting a very undersized Wes Unseld at center. Small ball predated the three point line.
Do Jalen hood shafino
Real ones been knew lamelo was going to be good. Big media tried to ignore the ball family and discredit them and so sheep followed.
Great show, salute to Strick ✌🏾 from DMV Largo MD
I love this movie! Great video about it!
He’s now a monster in the league.
D-E-E-E-TROIT BAS-KET-BALL!! MBII with NO BRAKES!! 🔥🔥🔥
Great Vid and I love your work…..but…..how do you do a history of small ball video and not cover the early 70’s Knicks or the bullets teams of the 70’s?
It's actually pretty good
This video has aged incredibly well.
Now hes a champion baby!
the movie wasnt/isnt underated, it was/is a good movie among sports fans. this "underrated" premise is nonsense
you're nonsense
“I don’t expect Shai to be a big time scorer” *31 ppg scorer in his 5th season*😂
Big SGA guy and I did not expect this 🤣 knew he was gonna be very good tho
no one did he clearly lives in the gym putting up ton of shots 😂
The first time I ever heard of this movie was when a teacher told us the high school were gonna go to next next year had the gym where “Blue chips” was filmed, I didn’t pay him any mind until I saw the inside my self, it got me intrigued about the movie and I watched it which then got me to this video, I’m exited for next year.
0:54 Basketball actually was invented by a Canadian in Canada. The U.S.A. just made it popular.
4 years later he’s amazing
Nice respect 👍💪
This is why we have to make our own decisions. This guy knows very little about basketball.
