- Big, tough, and ready to punch you in the mouth, Derrick Coleman ain’t here to play around on this week’s episode of Knuckleheads with Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles. DC gets it crackin’ early, talking about growing up in Detroit and how quickly he knew he was the best. He touches on Syracuse, what it’s like to be one of the greatest in school history, and explains why he stayed all four years. Then we get to the league, coming in early and dominating at a tough position. DC looks back on his time with the Nets, how great it was playing with Kenny Anderson, and he laughs about being one of the few people to posterize Shaq. DC has no problem saying Dream Team II is the best Dream Team - and you just may be swayed! Later on the guys get into the incredible social work Derrick is doing for Michigan and how he’s trying to make an impact on future generations.”From the ghetto to the gold medal,” DC brings the heat!

Derrick Coleman is a solid guy, I remember my Cousin that live in Charlotte was 12 years old at the mall... He said he ran into Derrick in KB toys, D.C. bought my cousin and five other kids brand new play stations 💪💪💪💪
REST EASY DRAZEN PETROVIC
Darius Miles's background basketball knowledge is truly deep
Facts
very true...he be stating things i think he be lying about sometimes. Loving Drazen game, seeing Zeke get elbowed by Karl... I still see him as a High school kid born in the 90's lol but this man 40 yrs old. S/O to D Miles
@Non Conformist yea I confirmed that. He’s born in 81. That’s old enuff to have a memory of the 88 finals and 89 finals and being good enuff to make the league I can see him being a historian
@@BiznessBoog I played against both guys before, twice against Richardson. It was amazing to see them actually make it to the nba and to still see them relevant today with the podcast
He’s a lifer
One of the smoothest, big left handed guys. His vision was unbelievable. And a smooth handle. Big ups DC.
💯✊🏾
THE smoothest, big left-handed guy!
Agreed
No doubt 👑✊🏽
He had no weakness, 90’s ball to 2010 or so is the golden era to me.
DC, Terry Mills, Victor Alexander, Roy Tarpley, Chris Webber. All Detroit bigs with handles
J rose too
Mills was that dude
Rolland Boyd rose a guard but Dtown legend stil
T Mills.....you hardly ever hear his name
Roy tarpley with dallas when they had blackman, mark agguire....cool unis,
Derrick Coleman - Dribble, Shoot(2/3pt), Rebound, Assist, toughness. Respect OG.
I remember seeing somewhere Shaq saying D.C dunk on him and he looked in the crowd at his parents and they were shaking there heads
This is THE ONLY person Shaq credits with dunking on him....EVER.
@@missayawk He always gives it up to 3 people. Jordan. Kobe in practice and Derrick Coleman.
It's from the show where the players sit and talk with Ernie about memorable moments. It was Shaq's most embarrassing.
Yeah it’s called Open Court
Yup. When he first got to the league. Gave him a finger wag too. Shaq said after that, he said ain't nobody dunking on me body to body again.
Every old head got that guilt trip they always hit you with “TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH TO INVITE ME!” (Followed by nervous awkward laughter) 😂
😂😂💯
Knuckle heads got their foot on the gas
@Mr. Marshall It was a money dispute. Jack said they wasn't doing another season until they got paid.
All gas
The world loves native Detroiters. Maybe because we have a genuine nature. D.C seems very genuine.
Derrick Coleman is telling the absolute truth when he says that he gave his entire neighborhood shoes.
@titus Upshaw with no break peddle and the top dropped 🏎🏎✊🏾✊🏾
You know your show is good when guests are like "About time you had me on"
Get Terrell Brandon on the show. Very underrated PG.
I played with him on nba jam
@@20trillion I did too. A beast
You're Right Bro..TB had that work!! If not for injuries, his name would ring more Bells. As a small Guard him and Dana Barros were walking buckets!
@@dfromgarylantasota2439 man ur right. Forgot abt DB. Quick release too.
Cavs
D.C. was a beast in the league. I love his game!! Knuckleheads been killing it lately with the OG's that played in the 90's. 90's era was one of the best era's of the NBA. Miss those days!!
Mookie Blaylock gotta be the most mentioned name on this pod😄😄
Mookie and Mitch Richmond
And Rod Strickland
Jamal Mashburn too
Yo they need to bring him on
I feel like Ronnie Fields gets mentioned like every other episode lol.
One of the few Detroit legends that came home and supported his hometown...... salute to DC 💯
When I moved to Detroit from Saginaw the first place he showed me was northern HS because of DC
Cuse's finest right here ...D.C. the legend...always # 44 for the Nets...him an Kenny Anderson & Petro could have been so much more...💰💰💰🏀
The guys I would love to see..
Rod Strickland - They always bring him up, Legend.
Elton Brand - Clipper Days/ Philly GM
Joe Johnson - Longevity / Q-Rich PHX days
Sebastian Telfair - D-Miles portland days/ rise and demise
Latrell Sprewell - A piece of when the Knicks were actually good
Leave your suggestion below.....
Nice list!
Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf
Sheed
Jalen Rose
Juwuan Howard
Robert horry
Jason Williams/ white chocolate
Bassy would have been nice, but he's locked up I believe.
Bo Jackson
I wanna see Cynthia Cooper up there
Sue Bird, God Shamgod, Mike Bibby, Joe Dumars, Chris Webber,Jalen Rose
Agree 100%, especially on the Rod Strickland piece. His name does always come up
Y'all killin' em wit' the OGs on the show. Me personally, I prefer to see players from the early 90's who aren't in coaching positions or workin' in the front office cuz they don't gotta sugarcoat their stories to protect their careers. I wanna see Vernon Maxwell, Latrell Sprewell, Stephon Marbury, White Chocolate, Rafer Alston, Karl Malone, Bill Laimbeer(even though he coaches the Shock in the WNBA), Shawn Kemp, Larry Johnson & Xavier McDaniel to name a few. It would be dope if y'all got some And 1 players on hear also like Hot Sauce, Professor, Go Get It, Main Event, etc...
Darius miles cannot play poker cuz you can see the excitement in his face as soon as the video starts. LOL
The man hasn't aged in 30 years. What a Legend lol
I look forward to this first question all the time. DC putting on for Detroit 💪🏾
Me too!! I love it 🏀
💯💯💯
DC was the new prototype PF when he came into the league. Dunked on Shaq and wagged his finger in his face😂😂💯💯
This podcast makes you smile man in the times that we in this is one of the best things going. 🙏🏾
Y'all got our homeboy from The D on deck. The Detroit OG DC definitely grew up not far from Hitsville USA the Motown Museum and from where the riots started on 12th Street. When DC was in the league he gave the entire Detroit Public High School League his signature Converse in 1993.
DC story telling is on point. Cleaning the snow of your uncle’s car at 5am is real talk. I remember when he was in philly and Mad Max and DC showed up at the summer league game chilling. A real down to earth man
This was one of the funniest episodes so far lol Much respect OG DC
The NBA was NOT ready for DC's inside/outside game - as a lefty.
We southpaws, leftys in most things period☝🏽😬....on skates wit us...
Nah DC wasn't with that Politix
Much love to Derrick Coleman...👍
D.C. is a hall of famer and basketball royalty.
JDuvv901 Hall of gamer and Royalty??? Lmfao good joke
@@Howdidhenotseeme you didn't see him hoop
@Terry Boston Whipping The Truck no
@@1love502 We dont let people with 1 Allstar make the hall of fame buddy
I love D.C, but no way, the Reignman has a better case.
DC was so cold! Chuck Daly said he was the most talented player he ever coached. He said he was the only player that didn't need to warm up and could still drop 20/10
Yeah, he was so, so talented. He really could roll out of bed and get 20 & 10. his nets years were his peak years, but I remember seeing him on the Sixers, and he put up numbers, and it was well known/documented that he didn't work particularly hard, which just shows his crazy talent. Getting 20 & 10 in the NBA is HARD, and doing it with a subpar work ethic is even harder. If he really hard that motor/drive, he could've been like, freaky, scary good.
The Georgetown & Syracuse rivals were classic Big East battles back then! Great interview!
Villanova, UConn man, the big east was lit
Facts
One of the best interviews. Detroit. Westside.
Kenny Anderson needs to be on Knuckleheads. Never knew Derrick Coleman had this much personality.
True dat...DC always had that "I don't DO interviews" look on the court😁✌...he's cool asf
@@TheVanexel23 Word!
One of my Favorite players growing up. DC was nasty with that lefthand.
It's so great to know what a community centered person Derrick is for the NY Media was unfair to him like a lot of players. They paint any player they don't like or are jealous of negatively and unfortunately too many people will buy their falsehoods.
He got a bad rap in Philly his first time around
@@jaranameer2882 thanks J all I know about was the " murders " the NY Press have committed.
100
DC is a Detroit legend and cool person 👍🏽👍🏽 # knuckleheadpodcast 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Only guy that Shaq admits dunked on him hard and clean, chest to chest.
This was a great one. Kinda mad he didn't answer that 1st question thou? Somebody had 2 have giving him the business in his rookie season! 🤔
He was a lot like Shaq as a rookie, most players couldn't deal with him so its actually true, if his matchup had a good game so did DC, but his rookie team succccckkkkkedddd lol
exactly bro even big ass Shaq gave it up 🤷🏽♂️.... somebody gave him the business at one time or another
@@freaki007 even if he went in and his opponent did too, that still means he got the business or he and whoever gave each other problems.
I agree, someone busted his ass for sure. Barkley most likely
I remember DC's rookie year and his career. He was powerful but extremely skilled so no matter what anybody did on the court, DC had something for it. His skill was his counter. Post-moves, midrange, long ball, passing l, shot blocking, rebounding. If you're a stats guy, look him head to head with some of the greats (basketball-reference.com)
I'm a huge fan of Derrick Coleman. Growing up in Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 we would watch Syracuse Basketball games all the time.
DC with the left hand was a baaad MAN back in his hey day
Yessir
One of my favorite players growing. Very underrated. Y’all should get Mark Price on the show. Another underrated player.
Q-Rich and D-Miles y'all the truth for these interviews
Thank you guys. DC was my favorite player growing up along with Drazen. Y’all knuckleheads brought me back.
This was a great interview.i never got to 👀 or 👂much of dc personality while in the league.this was really great for me because he seems like such a soul brother and just great down to earth yet talented black man.i believe the guys like him and his personality dont get the limelight because they wouldn't be very pc or their talk and conversation would sound like the norm or scripted.i really enjoy our true old schoolers who keep our luv and traditions of life alive even if just in the expression of their spirit.really kool to experience it at anytime so shout out to knuckleheads for bringing the people another great 1😉 ✌
Detroit Notthend in the building!
12 street! Linwood! Detroit Legend right there! He held games on the block! Sht was lit! He still doing his thang for the kids!
Very underrated i wish more people would watch this interview
The most talented PF ever my boy D.C
Niiiice! DC #44 good brother that walks it and talks it. He and his wife Gina did big things for the kids in New Jersey while he was with the Nets. He was one of the brothers who truly got it and spread the love. Great interview! And he's still holding it down in Motown! #salute
Love q and d miles.....we love this in the detroit...... love.......
It’s only right that you do Smitty next while your at Detroit
The Original point forward of Power Forwards .he was a decade ahead of his time with his style of play before he got injured or washed up
The NBA misses a Derrick Coleman, I hated him growing up as a player, but he is missed in the league today
Very Serious deep conversations. I wish this could be on tv for the up and coming generation to see and really understand. Very lucky and blessed he had a true sincere Dave Bing to guide him.I am very sure he has the best information that could of ever been given.
The knuckknuckleheads are going to be in the basketball podcast hall of fame. Detroit basketball royalty and Syracuse basketball legend. DC was a beast on the court.
Man this is so great, can't stop watching You guys chop it up w/#RealOnes
DC ain't never losing the Dawg in him!
Love the Stories got me smiling like when I first fell in love with the Game and this Era of Players!
Great Work Fellas 🔥🔥🔥
Salute
#DMiles
#QRich
#DC
Thought it was George Foreman on thumbnail
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dream Team 2, had some Ballers on it!!! can you guys get Strickland or Mitch Richmond or Steve Smith or Dana Barros or Willie Burton or Dale Ellis or Nique
I feel ya mane I would love to see Dana Barros on here
Now that’s a list!!
Chill
@@bneal864 I would also
@@reeckcruceta3451 Keep it moving Buddy..talking about Chill
1:22:38 "Hey Chill Out Dog", "No you Chill Out"- DC 😂
Nasty - Coleman's dunk on Shaq!
Nominating DC for Big UNK to the black community
He been that in Detroit 🙌🏿🙌🏿 he always looked out for us growing rt... I played in his league every summer as a kid at the court he built on Hazelwood and we never had to pay for nothing Cedar point trips and all free every summer!!!!
Kudos to you guys for interviewing DC. Miss him. Great player
Shout out to the forgotten Mark Price. In today’s league!! That backcourt, Price and Ron Harper. Kevin Johnson said Price was so consistent he couldn’t get on the floor.
@15:04 damn bringing back old memories lol. Makes me smile at 33yrs to have been brought up with these same values and now instilling them in my youngsters.
Yes I've been waiting for a DC interview for so long ,that left hand was nasty ,he was before his time .I'm locked into this one thanks guys.
I love to see how happy Q gets when he tells that AI story...it’s cool coming up and meeting other young black role models to let you know that you can make it out here too!!!
Wish you would asked more probing questions re wasted potential, lessons learned, arrests, maturing, where all the NBA earnings went, any regrets and so on. Love the positive things DC doing for the community.
Time to get Latrell Sprewell on the PLANET! MILWAUKEE STAND UP V-HOUSE!!
DC ... We Love you on the East Coast ...
Cuse Jers Reppin' ...
One of Detroit's Finest!
Yo Yo Yo Derrick Coleman thanks guys been looking forward to this one.. I been a fan of his since his days at Syracuse . A lefty PF that could handle the ball, play make for others , shoot from the outside , kill dudes in the post and would give everybody that work . I get into debates with people every time I speak on how dope of a player he was and He would kill in this modern NBA.. fun fact he one of the few players that can lay claim to have Dunked Shaq. Salute DC the OG #Knuckleheads
TRUTH!!!!!
I appreciate the camaraderie and respect the NBA players, both and past and present, show each other regardless of age or era. It’s very cool.
One of my favorite players ever. DC was the TRUTH... He would've excelled in today's game.
We lefty's just awkwardly dangerously humorously smooth with it....ME, DC, & KENNY#LEFTY NATION...
One of the most genuine interviews I've seen in a long time. The format and style of their podcast make it feel like you just choppin it up with your homies after back-to-back full court wins. Plus DC is a real cat.
Beautiful interview.. Omg.. I love this show.. I'm a basketball junkie& sometimes it's hard for me to walk away from listening.. I may not made it to the pros.. But I've spend over 30yrs in the game playing& coaching& i can relate to everything they're talking about.. I'm thankful for the game because it's blessed my life in so many ways🏀🏀🏀
Big up to knuckleheads having my OG DC 100yrs
In my kids 15:13 D Miles spoke the truth and it touched my soul! Young folks don’t know about that . That’s when there was still a black community that lived “it takes a village” ! I miss that as a father
This was a great interview with the legendary DERRECK COLEMAN!!! I want that HAROLD MINER interview. Hope ya’ll can make it happen
Can we get Marcus Camby to do an interview
NEVER LIVED UP TO HIS POTENTIAL IN THE NBA. STILL LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!
DC!! Was the man! Tough enforcer! Great skill set!🏀🏀🏀
Yall boys really know the who the damn legends are..
i gotta say nothing makes me happier than seeing d miles and q thriving like this i hope this just keeps blowing up this my favorite podcast by far
DC was a fkkkking beast on the court. real shit
I like how the guest pay homage to Pearl Washington. Never heard of him until all these players paying respect.
I love this show! DC is the realist! Could not fuck with him , ever, period! Facts!!!!! One of the best interviews yet. I felt like I was chilling with ya'all in the crib with this one. D & Q keep em coming!
This was super dope 🔥🔥🔥 Detroit stand up 💪🏿
First NBA player to have all the east coast rappers give him a shout out , in all there tape and cd jackets next to credits
D.C is my 90's favorite P.F
DC a 𝕯𝖊𝖙𝖗𝖔𝖎𝖙 legend!!! Remember when he and Sheed was distributing water in Flint during the water crisis.
One of the few who dunked on Shaq
Highly underrated & I do mean highly, one of the best to ever do it From my city Detroit. Salute D.C.
Yo Quent and D, it is so interesting to hear all my basketball heroes from the past and present just light up with joy and tell their stories about their time in the league. This one w/ D Coleman is a perfect example of how basketball is life man. Please never stop doing this. I love it and want more. In the meantime, keep getting buckets! One
Man, you all have been killing it with these guests! Now you got DC on here! Detroit's finest--that boy was cold. I'm lovin' it!
Dc was on nba jam!
Y’all keep having my favorite people
Now you talking my language. My manz D. C. From the crib. That dirty glove 🧤 destroyed Michigan. Much love to the knuckleheads
what up Blount?
Derrick Coleman was one hell of a power forward. He truly should've won a championship..
Smitty +D.C. wouldve been deadly
another Dope interview.. salute
Another dope interview Knuckleheads...DC is that Dude💪
Every interview is great i been watching since day 1 ya always hold it down 💪🏼💪🏼
