    Ronnie played pro basketball in our country & almost led the team he was in to the finals...Great scorer, has a knack for slashing in the paint & can drop from afar...One of the best to ever play pro in our country

    Growing up in Chicago and going to HS in the mid 90's...I can honestly say, I had the pleasure of seeing Ronnie and KG play...live! It was like going to a(n) NBA game!

    So exciting to see so many people learning about Ronnie and hopefully taking something away from this- we are still trying to raise contributions to finish everything- if you can contribute so we can finish this during the summer that would be greatly appreciated! The link to contribute is below the video and also embedded on the video itself-

    When I was 8 year old my dad took me to the state tournament at the peoria civic center and I remember Ronnie Fields dropped like 70 in a game. It was the most incredible thing I have ever seen. I have created him in so many video games in my life lol

    I cannot believe I have not heard of this guy before, it makes me sick as a basketball fan, that they don't give this guy the respects he deserves. I would have been 4 so understandably wouldn't have heard from him at a high school level, but his story should have been told over and over again... I cannot believe this is the first time i'm hearing this! ahhhhh! THIS DOCUMENTARY NEEDS TO BE WATCHED EVERYWHERE!

  • @aaronsoliven31
    @aaronsoliven31 Před 11 lety +1

    In 1999/2000 Ronnie took the summer off and we used to shoot around with him in his back yard. I beat him 11-9 and I was talking a bit. We aged again and he beat me 11-0 in about 2 minutes. He's truly an amazing basketball player and a really good person too. He deserved a shot.

    I played ball on the westside of the Chicago against Fields and this dude was booming on regulation rims in 7th grade. I was a John Marshall HS Commando(Hoop Dreams) and he(Ronnie) was a Farragut Admiral he and KG rep that westside killing my school an anything on the westside of Chicago and being a westsider I hated the fact that they lost to southside Thornton HS with Melvin Ely & Tai Streets.
    Much Success Ronnie, I will support without a doubt!

    This sort of reminds me of a book i read this year in english, called Friday Night lights, and how Boobie Miles of Permian High School had a similar experience as Ronnie fields. Boobie was a star running back who was basically on his way to the NFL, but then he tore his ACL and his dream of making it never happened.

  • @nystagmus
    @nystagmus Před 11 lety +2

    nope, he is 6'3". So if he had a 48 inch (4ft) vertical , the vertex of his head would be 3 inches over the rim. 3 more inches to have a 51 inch vertical would have his head 6 inches over the rim. Show me on any footage where he has his head 6 inches over the rim. And vertical leaps are measured standing, not running. But regardless , even with a running start, show me where he gets his head 6 inches over the rim. He can definitely jump but I don't see a 51 inch vert.
