- Brian Scalabrine is sick of all of you chumps saying that you can beat him in basketball. So we found some of the best ballers in Boston to go one-on-one with the White Mamba, so he could prove once and for all that even the last guy on a pro basketball bench is still better than you.
- Sport
2 of those guys played Division 1 college basketball, 1 of them played Division 2, and 1 of them played Pro Basketball in Australia. These guys are all better than your average street baller and in their neighborhood courts EPIC. Brian is just leaps and bounds better than them even though he's retired and out of practice. And he was a role player in the NBA. Just imagine how dumb a 6th man on the bench would have made these guys look.
Exactly. These aren't your everyday scrubs that just talk shit in youtube comments. These are above average basketball players and he still schooled them. People think that benchwarmers are crap players but a good chunk of them were the best in their neighborhoods, then high school, then college, and then they get drafted to play against the best players in the world. Of course they aren't going to look good when compared to the top 400 players in the world. There are like 7 billion people in the world.
Brian's definitely not out of practice, he says he plays almost everyday
To be in the NBA says you’re one of the top 400 people in the WORLD!
Jamal Crawford would have skunked these guys. They would have never even taken a shot.
@@americanmade4484 yeah, but he's way past his prime
Scale is so respectful to these other guys. He's roasting them on the court then complimenting their game off. True professional.
just imagine how much more he would destroy these guys if he was in his prime
The White Mamba is always in his prime,
plus he had to play them back to back. While the challengers are fresh
exactly. he woulda skunked all of them.
Scal is big and tall, and quick on his feet for his size. His defense is just smothering, I'm sure these players look worse playing against him than they actually are. Of course these guys couldn't beat him, it was absurd for any of them to think they could
handchecking helps
He made his living in the NBA by learning how to really play defense
Notice he's not really trying lol he's doing 3 dribble practices
Why would it be dumb for a D1 player to think he would have a chance.
@@moreislessmf6081you think you got chance madar packer 😂 shut ya arse up keyboard warrior
I don't know why people think they're better than scal he was an NBA player for crying out loud! Put it into perspective there are 7 billion people on the planet only 450 active players in the NBA do you know how good you have to be to play in the NBA better than 7 billion people! Even if your bench player in the NBA you're still so many more times better than anybody else.
Cause people are delusional... For every smart person in the world there are 10 idiots.
I agree...but I expected him to be a better shooter...he missed a fuck ton of shots
People don't take into account that he plays against someone like KG everyday in practice.
put it into perspective only people in the US really care about basketball. all the best athletes around the world opt for soccer hockey or whatever is their nation's national sport.
JimboParadox You lost me at "Basketball is only popular in the U.S."
If you look up any off-season pro-am league, even the NBA benchwarmers who barely play are AMAZING players
like tony wroten
+qwerty98685 Tony Wroten averaged 17 points per game in the NBA so that's not exactly a scrub or a guy who barely plays. Wroten just came off a major injury and is still in the league
+qwerty98685 Tony Wroten averaged 17 points per game in the NBA so that's not exactly a scrub or a guy who barely plays. Wroten just came off a major injury and is still in the league
I think what qwerty means is that besides just the injuries, Wroten is definitely not performing to his potential since he's definitely in the top 10% of NBA in terms of pure athleticism and talent. In the one season where he averaged 17 ppg, he shot 40% FG, so it wasn't exactly a great outing, though his shooting numbers were brought down by absolutely horrible 3pt shooting (25%), but even adjusting for that his shooting on just 2pt shots was 46% (which isn't great). Point is that all NBA players are amazing and they only look bad bc they have to play against eachother!
Totally agree. Even those who casual fans & sportscasters with 0 NBA or NCAA experience criticize as poor 3 point shooters or horrible FT shooters, are actually good shooters outside an NBA game. That's why those who mock & challenge Ben Simmons or Giannis to a FT or 3-pt shooting contest don't know what they're talking about; Ben and Giannis will just beat them as badly as Scalabrine beat those guys who challenged him in a 1-on-1 game.
What surprised me about Brian was his overall quickness. There is no way he should stay in front of them. One would think it would be a layup drill for most of these players, but he was there old age/injuries/past prime and all. His first step and quickness to get into his moves was also impressive for a player his size against smaller players.
I've played against a few players that had 10 day contracts in my prime, and they murdered everyone. They all stated how good NBA players were, how in shape they were, how fast and strong they were and how good shooters they were. I also remembered stories of Bo Outlaw dropping 50 points with ease at Venice Beach tournaments, yet he wasn't known to be an offensive player whatsoever in the pros.
These guys do this for a living (or used to), bet ya ass they're good.
the handchecking helped
It's his anticipation and reads because he really isn't that quick just knows what he's doing
@@erikaw7767 in all honesty, are you able to tell that’s the case, or did you see the podcast? Cause before I saw the podcast I would have never been able to pinpoint that, but now it’s all I can see.
@@doctorsuave a little bit of both, but all NBA players do what he does it's just some are quick and he's not. I did hear the podcast and I can see a lot more clearly now, but he's not a quick player he just has the footwork and knows where he needs to be. I was definitely aware of that concept before he pointed it at out but I see it more clearly now after he did does that make sense.
There's a video of Rudy Gobert who really isn't known for his offense making pull up jump shot against Victor Wenbanyama.
People are just idiotic to claim they can beat any NBA player 1-on-1. You have a legitimate shot of winning only if you're one of the top players in college, i.e. capable of being a second round pick.
Thus they're an NBA player...
Stephen Chan No even then they wont have a chance. 19 20 years olds vs grown as men
Stephen Chan some NBA players are not one on one players they can be beat, its safe to say that the avg guy off the street can't beat the avg pro player
Or overseas
@@Da34Box tyler herro rookie year being 19 beat more than just you average nba player. Lamelo comes into the league and acts like a veteran
LOL at all the weekend warriors commenting that their game of 1 on 1 with Scalabrine would be different. Ya... these three guys said the exact same thing.
The best teenage basketball players go on to play for their high school. The best high school players go on to play college. The best college players go on to compete against every other adult basketball player for a spot on an NBA roster... and even then most of them will get cut.
You people really think that you're going to beat a professional with years of experience even if he is the last guy off the bench??? Don't make me laugh.
One small correction - these guys aren't weekend warriors. The first guy, Matt Tomaszewski, is a 6'8" forward for Syracuse University lol. On a court with regular people who think of themselves as good, Matt would dominate completely lol. And yet Scalabrine made him look like he maybe just started balling two weeks ago.
And a lot of the guys aren’t exactly scrubs they are guys who played in college for teams like cuse
The Weekend Warriors referenced 7 years ago was the people in the comment section of this video, not the guys playing Scal in the video.
The comment was aimed at people saying they would do better than these semi-pro athletes Scal is dominating.
I didn't notice at first, but there's a 10-second shot clock. Totally changes the complexion of the game. Sure, there are guys that can do tons of great moves, but when you add in a clock, players can't sit there and spend 15 seconds trying to set up their move. Alternately, Scal lived for a decade with a shot clock and also knew his role wasn't "handler" so he wastes no time going into his offense (and he's scary good at seeing his opportunities and advantages in a 1-v-1 setting).
thing is, Scal wasn't even playing hard. he is playing like you'd be playing on a lazy Sunday afternoon, against some cousins and uncles, etc... you play hard cause you don't wanna lose but you're not putting out even half the effort or focus as if you're playing an NBA game.
In other words, they didn't get NBA Scalabrine, they got fun-guy, Sunday afternoon Scalabrine. Otherwise it probably would have been 11-0 on all three dudes and one of them dudes mighta even gotten physically hurt.
no matter how little or bad he played in the pros, all that matters is he played at one of the top athletic colleges (USC), and played pros which means hes worked out with the pros, worked with some of the best coaches in the league, trained as a professional athlete with some of the top trainers, and has actually PLAYED in a professional game. 99% of you think youre good because you make a few shots on your nerf court in your room...
Scla was holding back, he could have dunk 360 from half court, he is just too empathetic and didn't want to hurt the poor guys playing against him.
Scalabrine wasn’t even a bad NBA player. It’s also worth keeping in mind this is an old retired Scalabrine, and he’s still kicking their asses
Scal with the Nets was kind of nasty to be honest
@@Konformation07 yeah, I've seen some of his Nets highlights. He had some really good games. He just wasn't as quick or flashy and the game outgrew his skillset. Still, he was a great veteran in the locker room and off the court and probably helped the younger players coming in to the league or else he wouldn't have lasted 11 years in the league.
if somebody made it into the NBA, no matter what their role is, they are GOOD. No we're not talking about collegiate hoops or street ball or D-League or CBA or international ball; we're talking about the NBA here. The best of the best. Just think about that for a second. There are thousands upon thousands upon thousands of players who excel and are stars in college and every pro basketball league in the world who can't even make it in the NBA on their best day. To say that anyone can beat an NBA player 1 on 1, including Brian Scalabrine, is delusional unless they have actually played in the NBA.
He also played in one of the most competitive and physical eras
@@fngaming5064 and won a championship ring. A championship winning team wouldn't have carried him on the roster if he wasn't worth anything to them. Not to mention he was a HUGE fan favorite on whatever team he was on.
When he was on the Celtics, there were fans who showed up just hoping to see him play 1 minute of garbage time. Came with his jersey on and huge signs and everything. If nothing else, this guy helped sell some tickets during the dog days of the middle of the NBA season.
Idk there’s probably a ton of college guys that could run him right now. Especially considering how much he was missing. He just had the weight and strength to his advantage.
“I’m closer to Lebron than you are to me.”
Some of the coldest line.
I love Scal’s big wide goofy walk after every single basket, lol.
Brian Scalabrine should put on clinics on wrecking people with Hope Dreams. Take some NCAA or high schooler who isn't taking his classes serious and just wreck him to show how tough the competition is and how silly he is to put all his eggs into getting into the NBA basket.
Its like bully beatdown but with uninspired student athletes getting a wake up call
The first guy was Matt Tomaszewski who played two years in Syracuse! One of these guys also played pro basketball and they didn't look brilliant against Scall, who played a few years in the NBA.
Thousands of college players tried to play a single game in the NBA, but they failed :
1. AO (member of and1) went to Henderson State University and played in the D-League. 2. Hot Sauce (Philip Champion) played in the ABA. 3. Main Event (Waliyy Dixon) played at Rutgers.
Sorry for my English mistakes, I'm German.
Matt Tomaszewski hatte ja einen Vollstipendium neben Dion Waiters und andere Spieler der Orangen......aber ehrlich wenn du die BBL Spiele anschaust und dann siehst wie die Deitschen von College spielern ersetzt werden dann siehst du schon wie hoch das Level an Massen drüben im Übersee herrscht...............geh nach Amerika, nicht nur weil du dort deinen English verbessern kannst, sondern weil Deitschen generell gut bezahlte Arbeit dort finden......jedoch müsstest du dich als Dirk ausgeben, weil Larry an Kareem Wilt Kobe Goat Mailm net rankam aber Dirk eben schon, andere Zeiten eben....in den 80er muass man wie Detlef spielen oder keine Spielzeit wie Uwe blab oder andere die es nicht schafften, aber in den 90er kam dirk während heute muss man als guard schröder nehmen, das sind diese rose westbrook 1ser die slamen and shooten
10 years in the NBA is a few years to you? Remember 1st rounder Anthony Bennet? LMAO!
Few years? lmao He played 11 seasons in the NBA and I'm pretty sure that's not "FEW"
@@teslacoil8646 bro his comment5 years ago.
@@teslacoil8646
He apologized for his English mistakes and even stated he was German in the first place in 2013... Then, you're going crazy for the chosing of the word "few"
People also forget that after a year in JuCo, he played 3 years at USC. That's Pac-12 basketball. He played against some of the better colleges in D-1, like UCLA, Fresno State, Arizona (who had Richard Jefferson and Gilbert Arenas back then). So Scal has played against some of best college and pros had to offer. There are billions of regular joes who will never know about that life, but swear they can cook Scal one-on-one...🤨🧐🤫
the stupid media made what scalabrine was in the nba... a joke. but he knew he got game so in some way the white mamba just ride along with it. he has 1 ring and thats all he could ask for. so who's laughing now? LOL
This guy has a great personality. Love how he's able to joke about himself. Great game too. I'd definitely see why they put him on rosters. More so just to practice with the actual teammates then to play.
Too fast, too strong, too long, too smart, too quick, the White Mamba will devour you. Brian Scalabrine is the Great White Mamba.
Just goes to show that the players in the bottom 1-5% of the NBA are still miles better than 99% of the rest of the world.
My final verdict on The White Mamba: Great defense(I said Great, maybe NBA above average), good 3 ball when given time, poor midrange, Regular people will be killed in the post!(nba average post), deceptive speed. Good games
Keys to beat the Mamba: Use your speed, get separation, make your shot, DO NOT DRIVE INTO HIS BODY(unless u are his size or an NBA player) be patient, dont allow him to shoot free 3s like these players, and dont be trying to shoot in his face. Basically thats it.
Kids, remember you are playing basketball for fun, but these NBA's guys playing basketball for living.
Even when Scal announces games for the Celtics I still chant at my TV Scal-a-brin-e. One day I pray he rips of the suit and gets in the game.
despite the very limited play time he had in the nba, scalabrine still had a career high of 29 points with the nets, 29, a lot of role players in the nba never had a career high of 29
He lasted so many years in the NBA because of his specialty so to speak- His Defense. And seems nobody on here realizes why he'll probably still be almost impossible to beat into his 50s -he knows exactly what and where you're going to move next, that's what they teach, that's how good those 450 guys are. A normal non-pro or division I star trying to score on him is a joke
Ya he was missing a lot and only made layups on the first guy really.
I wish Max was here! He'd say "Go make me some bacon and eggs, quack, quack, quack. Duck Tales wo ooh..
its good seeing the local gym superstars see what even the bad nba players are like
its really stupid thinking that an amateur can beat a professional especially in a game of contact.
its like u are amateur in boxing and wanna beat somebody like C class profession boxer
there is always reason to be professional
Did you compare a goat to a c class boxer?
9:15 put them on a poster scal
It doesn’t even look like scalls trying bro 😂😂 he murdering cats with no effort
For all of you saying Brian Scalabrine is garbage or whatever just know that even the weakest, most non-athletic NBA player is 100x better than the average joe.
I bet Michael Jordan or Magic could drop 20 in a pick up game against regular people.
Only 20? They'd drop 80.
20 is that a joke? Maybe 120. Unless your talking about right now, I'm talking about when they played.
Travis Curry yes right now as 50+ year old men. back in their prime, we’d already know how that would go.
Flappy turtle meant right now at their current age
The WHITE MAMBA has fundamentals. That's something that i like about his game. He does not just over power you by using his height... He thinks carefully at what he's going to do. Unfortunately he allowed the nba to bully him. I bet kwame brown would also do good in 1 on 1 games like this... He got bullied too. 😎
Even if he was a benchwarmer, he's still a better player than most of the guys out there who aren't in the NBA.
Tom Hammonds (6'9", 220lbs.) is from my hometown. He was an All-American at Georgia Tech in the late 80s. He was an average Pro, at best. I played a couple of pickup games with him on the opposing team. It's unreal how big and muscular these guys are when you stand next to them.
Scal has such good form on all his shots. That fadeaway he has is straight out of Larry Bird's book.
That 1st kid if he could have hit his open shots he may have had a shot but Scals D is extremely solid.
That D was really good for sure!
Rich... If you are seeing this man I just wanted to let you know we all love you and Mary. You aren't going through this alone brother. Just know that, and also know that you'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong bro. Thousands of people who you've never met consider you family because of how dedicated you are to your work and the entertainment/joy you bring to our lives. Thank you for everything man. Mary WILL beat this!
They said 3 guys, but it was 4. You could tell he was tired by that 4th game too, and still won them all.
Unbelievable that even after getting taken to school these bums won't say 'yeah he destroyed me'
Look at Curry, ma...oh, wait wrong video
Thank god for this, too many people out there who think they’re better than they actually are
great moves from scalabrine
This was unexpectedly nice and respectful.
He was just chilling the whole time
two players were D1 players 1 played D2 college ball and one plays pro ball in australia
the last guy honestly had him, but scals jumper was fire. if the second guy combined his defense in the post with the first guys height and then added that to the last guy, that would've been a big matchup. people shouldn't claim they're better than an nba player, because if they were better, they'd be in the nba.
The last guy had nothing on him. One lucky 3 ain't mean shit.
That last guy didn't have shit on him, he got swatted 5 times
lol, way quicker? dude get blocked 5 times
So if you combine all three players, they could match up with Scalabrine. Hahaha!
He EARNED the trophy!!
he is to them, what kevin durant is to him
I would love to see this nowadays because people use way more dribble moves ever since nba2K became so popular
Some guys comment on a Scalabrine birthday Facebook video brought me here
Regular players do ankle breakers, Scal does ACL-Tearers.
Oh I love this guy so much ;)
Scal is in another level
This is one year after Scalabrine retired from the NBA too. In his prime, he would have schooled these guys even worse.
I'm not surprised at all what he did offensively against these guys. He got that polished old man game that's strong plus great footwork. Defensively this surprised me! These guys were struggling to get shots up! Makes me wonder how good they were 🤔 for instance the second dude never drove and everything was off balance fadeaways that stood no chance.
What stands out is his defense, he's missing plenty of shots but that D is near air tight, perhaps not the most exciting play style but excitement isn't what necessarily gets you to the nba.
What a sweet guy.
1st guy just couldnt contain him, he could drive though.
2nd guy started aggressive which made Mamba get aggressive in defense mode shooting 3s, he also shot too quick not setting his feet, and was getting DUNKED ON!! NO chance for him playing like that lol 12:49 hurt his soul.
3rd guy the brother, was fouling mamba the whole time and trying to shoot on the taller man not smart not using his speed, 20:32 point was SEXY!
4th guy had the best D, 27:21 ooowee!, but had a Terrible gameplan.
I'll never understand why they don't let people play the full game? Like rebound, run back to the line and drive back in. What's this offense only bullshit smh. Either way though it was impressive to watch him beat all those guys
first dude played for Syracuse. I think that would qualify him as a top amateur player from Boston. Atleast a top amateur that knew about this challenge and sent in a video
it's evident, Brian's NBA skills showed.... his footwork, mechanics, body bumps and ways get open or an angle for a shot. he was also bigger, faster, stronger, and...he read all his opponents well on offense and on defense, he also 'recovered' fast when he bit on a move. he was an NBA player for 11 years for a reason, and was a D1 hooper for a reason. funny thing is, I think he was 1-3 years removed from the game. If he played his opponnets during his NBA years when he was fit and in his prime, it would he woulda skunked all his opponents.
Scal played 4 fuckin 1v1 games...that's tiring and still managed to pull the sweep.
Scal learned how to play basketball.
That's why he has a ring, and we don't.
All 4 looked like man vs boy
the first future ballot pick for HALL OF FAME.
Hahaha all of the people who say they could beat scal. IMAO. He played and stayed in the nba. That's something thousands of college athletes can't do.
Scal seems like a super nice guy
Looked like two steps to me! Haha
it's pretty stupid to think that you can beat a NBA player.
I'm a 27 year old weekend warrior myself, and I still know I can't beat Charles Barkley 1:1
Let alone an active NBA player.
You can beat Barkley one on one.. He doesn't even play anymore. Last I saw him shoot the ball, it was pretty sad lol
We Can .Not Sing No...lol Barkley is still at least 6'4-6'6 and almost 300 lbs, that's like trying to move a boulder. Plus I'm sure he still hasn't lost his touch around the basket.
mattman1214
Well he struggled making a layup... So I think you would have a chance.
mattman1214 shaq beat him in a 3 point contest
mattman1214 trust me he could charles barkely can barely move
'Usually I can get it going, just couldn't get it going.':D Yeah, bet the guy doesn't USUALLY play vs former pros either.
This video shows you that the myth of an NBA player that isn’t so good in the A would torch an average player is really true this should show you how good the Elite players are. Making a single bucket in the A is so difficult let alone scoring outrageous numbers like 50
Scalabrine was already in the NBA hall of fame while he was still in high-school
Pepsi says "Scal is the Dino Rajia of a new generation."
@dereque brown scal is a great role player he can spread the floor and spot up and hit threes
0:56 - TRAVEL!
Scal rockin BULLS colors
Scal will make McDonald all America one day
The GOAT The White Mamba Brian Scalabriene
Is it just me or does that ball need a little air
I am hosting another Scallenge next year. Practice hard kids and come again.
GOAT
LMAO I know Jake awesome to see him try this
Denzel valentine should do a challenge like this
yah man! I hear ya!!!! This chump couldn't make it in the NBA. Forget him!
.... oh wait......
legit the goat
his bball IQ is actually really good man
Scal for MVP.
I could take Scalabrine……….out for ice cream, after we just dominated some youths in some pickup ball.
Brian does alot of hand checking!!
And he gets mauled and fouled every time he gets to the rim or posts up. Lol.
Because that’s how the real game is played
that i have to agree with. Time and time again they will always miss such easy shots. It pisses me off!
his ex NBA teamates must be laughing at him xD...good job tho :D
Jake fay actually had so many chances but he just didn't lock one of them in.
Scazzle Dazzle!
it doesnt really suck its just that the standard of the NBL is lower than that of the NBA
The professor should play him
Extremely easy win for Scal. Lol wtf?
Scally went super easy on them.
hes clamping all of them
