The 500LB MONSTER NBA Players Fear..

- If you thought NBA players like Shaquille O’Neal, Dwight Howard or Wilt Chamberlain were dominant for their size, just wait until you hear the story of a near 7 foot, 500 pound monster named Troy “Escalade” Jackson. Being nicknamed after a vehicle isn’t an easy feat, but because of what Escalade was able to do in college at Louisville while also playing basketball for And-1 and the Harlem Globetrotters, he may have been an all-time great in the NBA if it weren’t for such a drastic ending to his career..

Dude was an absolute legend they don’t tell you this but he was averaging a triple mcdouble his third year truly so inspiring.

Hey, he was a Legend for more than just his skills on the court.
RiP Escalade
@@dr.jackkevorkian1119 rip, we will miss him
Broke my heart, this video had me smiling really enjoying Troy and his success story. I was not prepared to hear this man had passed away. Just watching him and hearing about the wonderful successes he'd accomplished was really a heartwarming story. I'm so sorry this man passed away. Kindest Regards to all...
Same here. I really was enjoying this video and then suddenly............... R.i.P.
I feel the same as you because the voice-over did a great job in setting up the sad ending. When I thought I heard is unexpected death coming I shouted Oh don't tell me this brother died!? I want to give a shout out to the producers of this channel A Job Well Done!!

He was basically Shaquille Iverson. RIP!
Shaq got handles like that to look up shaq crosses ov Jordan
You mean oliver iverson
Word..RIP
@@damarcusgill5185 nah u gotta be able to use them handles in a game, Shaq couldn’t do that
@@danielmontoya6664 He def. could.. Watch vids of him in the all star games or him just messing around. This dude and Shaq would just get stolen consistently trying to pull off those moves at the NBA level. Instead Shaq just messed around and became a top 3 most dominant player of all time.
Mann I would of loved to see Troy take his talents to the NBA, Especially with his body size being able to prove people wrong and inspire others. Rest easy Troy 😔🙏🏼
They intentionally blackballed him from the NBA. If they didn't, he would have been 5x rookie of the year.
That Big Mac combo is number one on the list for a reason! Lots of love to Escalade, he was a great person and a very unique talent.
Nfl players lucky he played basketball
@Smoking Tabasco they have a weight limit? Lol

Man loved watching escalade and the professor, skip2my lou,bone collector ect.. im 38 and they were a big part of my .childhood... r.ip. troy
Man I wish this guy still compensated, he's way more chill and relaxing
Rest in Power “Lade”, if y’all don’t know about bro. Look him up ASAP, outside of every big man Lade was a absolute BEAST!!!!

rip legend. I grew up on and1 mixtapes, and I was always baffled how this man defied physics. him, hot sauce, the professor, and bones were my all time favorites.
Zions on his way too 500 pounds
Imagine this guy running at u full speed 😳
I watch ur vids
Full speed is my walk
SXULLS Ayy I remember u
ClutchOut NBA yesssirrrr
wouldn't be that fast
You say this man earned a bachelor's degree like it ain't 💩. That's something to be proud of.
it communications..... bro that's easy as fuck, nothing to be proud of really. Clearly it didn't land him a well paying job
@@motalkbadazs he was sponsored by And1 and being a veteran like him salary is 200k so I think he had a well paying job and can be more than what ur doing if he didn't pass away.
Facts!
@@motalkbadazs You still have to do the work. Even in the so-called easy majors, many fall out.
@@anonymike8280 You're missing the point the degree was useless to him, as he wanted no part in comms. Also easy majors with bad grades are useless.
Troy was a truly talented player who could have made it in the NBA but he just wanted to do what he enjoyed most playing street ball having fun and eating Big Macs. This was one of the best documentaries which was very interesting, heart-warming with a touching end. Kudos to the producer and narrator.
not sure if he wouldve been good in the NBA
Doing what he enjoyed doing? Eating Big Macs? A life choice that in his case was a death wish.
My family loved Escalade. Gave my 6’9 nephew his shoes… Was such a humble heart. Always invited us on the tour bus, and talked positive words of wisdom with my sons. Chi town love…. RIP ESCALADE, FLASH, BLACK WIDOW!!!!
6'10" 500 pounds with that power and energy. damn!
Big show

@3d Masstaa was 500
@3d Masstaa in his prime big show was like 560 lbs. he lost alot of weight so now he is like 375, Also have u ever seen keith lee? 6'3, 350 pounds and flies around like a cruserweight
@@Mr.makaveli7 I’m 14 and am about to be 7ft but I no where near 300 pounds
@@Mr.makaveli7 so I am saying I could be taller than him but 500 pounds is 500 pounds
In the NFL, Aaron Gibson was the heaviest defensive lineman at 410 lbs. He was 6'6".
Escalade was 500 lbs and 6'10".... and playing basketball... I wonder if any NFL teams actually reached out to him, because you can see that Troy is very unusually very agile for his size, and was able to sprint down the court. He'd be good on either defense or offense.
Jesus Loves You so much He died For You To be forgiven of your sins
No because his footwork and lack of upper body strength.
Forget the NFL... What if a hockey team hired him as goalie?
@@dux657
No one now, he passed away.
@@JDnFL
That's why I wrote "if" (hypothetical) and "hired" (past).
Wow!! R.I.P my brother. I've always been proud to see him play!! HE WAS GREAT!!!
This video made me cry about Troy’s story, he was good at what he does, despite his weight, he had very good skills and lovely character.
Thus, this story says a lot, no matter how hard life gets enjoy your very peak moments because life is too short to suffer. If you are going to be the best entertainer and best eater for food, like this guy go ahead. But remember take precautions and always look after yourself well, including your health.
Furthermore, people need to understand have empathy for peoples’ situation because you never what they are going through and you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover. Like in this video despite his weight being huge people were so surprised that he was still able to play well in basketball.
You will surely be missed Troy RIP 🙏🏾. You’re career definitely inspired many.
I can still hear the announcer in my head when he would create a play. “Ohhh BABY!! ESCALAAAAAADE”. Rip Troy.
Troy had a way with people that was his biggest gift that's what got him so far
*Lmao*
One of the greatest. Excellent video 🙏🏼
Excellent tribute. Thankyou.
Yo he was fast too! played like a 5'8 dudes! facts! Escalade used to rock the parks in nyc...a funny guy and a crowd favorite!! either west 4th street, ruckers and all over NYC with the other talents ..lot of dudes could've rock the nba..I enjoyed watching this brother do his thing! what a site! Rest in Peace brother..thanks for this memory~
Did you play with him
@@joelembiid4433 No! but I had friends that did, the thing was, you had to be in a "street league..." ( "And 1" , McDonalds etc) was one of the many companies that help sponsor the summer games for these groups! lot of different leagues in New York, New Jersey, Summers were always hot!! but Escalade was playing everywhere! he no doubt would have been as popular as Shaq, and he had more skills too! facts! He was unique!
@@joelembiid4433 No, but I had friends that did.
The thing is, you had to be in the "street league" but they played everywhere in NYC, some celebs would get to play, Ron Artest, Anthony Mason-was a regular, Kobe can down and crushed it! many other NBA stars would go..it was like "right of passage" .."You can play inside, but can you play the streets!" ..also had lots of sponsors ( "And 1" Mc Donalds etc) He was funny af..big Giant, he would have gave Shaq headaches at 500lbs? shaq can't bump him..he was nimble af too..If he all of the sudden did a handspring out of nowhere, I wouldn't be suprised ! He lived his dream, gone to soon.
i’m happy you got to see him play!
@@MyNameIsMalachi yeah he was a all around good guy! he didn't care about the money ..He would have been a perfect "harlem globe trotter!" ..but he had crazy energy..good guy! Hopefully in time, more unseen videos will come out..I know personally, that they are out there.

wOw bigger than William "Refrigerator" Perry ? but Fridge a NFL legend, & made $ bank
HE DIED?? i’m only half into the video☹️
Damn man back in 2000's I remember being a teenager here in Brazil, watching AND1 mixtapes and tryna show sick moves to my friends down here. Good good memories!
You really gotta wonder just how many big macs this man used to eat. Like, how can you play ball so well at such a high level everyday since being a kid and still get so big?? It just doesn't seem possible. He really was one of a kind.
Men imagine if he went fit and played in the league. A big man who dribbles.
Idk
When ur game is based on ur weight n the coach force u to adjust ur weight.....
Well ask Kwame about how that can mess ur appearance.
No he wouldn't. This video exaggerates his talent.
He was who he was if he was fit no one would have cared he would be just another big man
Exactly! You have 300 likes because you are 💯💯💯.
But he wasn't really that good to begin with. This video is very angled towards his cool play, his stats tell a different story. So there's nothing to say that he would have been good even if he was slim.
“What kinda toilet seat does this man sit on.” Why you gotta do him like that man😭😂
LMAO
😂😂😂
Lmfao
Rofl 😂🤣😂🤣
Easy shots 🤣
Damn how time has flown by. I almost forgot about him playing at Louisville. Even though his production wasn't major he was still well liked with fans. I definitely did not realize he had passed. What a shame. RIP.
Thank you for the memories big man. RIP Escalade...

I remember watching Escalade, The Professor & Hotsauce back in the day as a kid with the And1 street mixtapes. They were so clean with it & everytime I went to ball myself I'd try too replicate moves I seen them do.
Good commentary and great story!

Awsome Awsome Video! Much love ❤ 2the Lovable Ball Master! peace
'The only thing he earned was a Bachelor's Degree'. That way of thinking accurately sums up lots of problems.
Explains why this guy is a youtuber and he was a college grad with unbelievable basketball skill.
Yeah I would b proud 2 hava Bachelors degree in communication...WTF is dudes problem?? 😐😐😐
"Did I hear that right?" I had to go back and listen again. Sad.
The only thing.. 🤔 like a Bachelors is giving out
@Agustin Dib athletes go thru the same classes regular students go thru and they have to complete their athletic responsibilities to the school without pay.. In return those millions of dollars go back to the school and the athlete gets free tuition IF THEYVE EARNED A SCHOLARSHIP, if not they pay their own tuition and still play for the school voluntarily
Man Escalade was one of the highlights of the And1 mixtapes. Definitely made my childhood a great one. RIP homie
RIP Escalade, I remember having no interest in Basketball, but found an interest in watching street ball. It was so entertaining to see the personalities battle it out on the court. Way better than the cry baby NBA....
And1 is huge part of my child hood. Escalade is an absolute legend for game of basketball. Rip
Rip Escalade
“What else could he do beside make it to the nba” you lowkey trashed this dude the whole video
Exactly 🤦🏾♂️
@@jay4vegas920 this guys video should be taken off this guy is down right cruel and mean getting a bachelors degree is no easy feat either
Exactly 2:43
Hes just telling the truth. Its not ideal to weigh 500 pounds. The man was gonna die before 40
@D W lowkey? Nah HIGHkey to the point I was ready to turn this shit off. That shit ain’t cute.. like come on, grow up. Couple jabs sure fine whatever but it was starting to feel like he was on his ass seemingly maliciously at one point. I expected better honestly. Shit was childish as fuck and not funny in the slightest. I was enjoying a lot of the channels videos after just finding them and clicked the wrong one apparently, smh.
RIP “Escalade” Big man.
Had no idea he’s related to Mr. Hand Down Man Down.. makes this document that much better 🙏🏽💪🏽
RIP Escalade ...... talented amazing freak of nature .
Definitely finding a dude that big who can move like that is unheard of

Is the picture rendering still

me too, he was so nice to me,
How is this guy not dominating social media.
I saw him live will never forget. He did not play much as I think he was starting to get sick, but was very nice. 1:23
The heart just isn't designed to run a monster like that for longer than 38-40 years. I'm thankful he left a mark on the basketball world, but I'm sad he's gone. You have to love that magical AND1 era when it was all happening (the first time with The Professor and the gang "Hot Sauce"). Good times... I'm thankful I grew up when I did.
When he played here at Louisville, the crowd would go crazy to see him at the check-in table. One time, he stole the ball and went the distance of the court for 2-points. Freedom Hall erupted! The guy was definitely a crowd favorite. R.I.P. bro'. 🙏
Laughed too hard at this guys video, absolutely love the Wit this guy has.
"Troy's complete disregard for the multiple defenders..." LOL
I'm 5'11" and at my highest weight (487#), I have been there. The mobility this guy had is a freak thing. Not many people can move with this weight level, I could play some ball , but not on that level. I am at a lower weight these days (around 370# now), but that weight early has wrecked my body. The fact he could move that well, was an anomaly. I know, because I been there before. That weight tears your body up. To all the kids growing up now, please take the advice from someone that's been there. "It's easier to keep it off, than to take it off". Please don't let this happen to you
Nice job man hey this was like 8 months ago so how much do you weight man
So you were a foot shorter than him and weighed just 13 lbs less than him. I don't think that really compares cuz being tall means you gonna weigh more regardless.
@@marshalltaylor5780, I meant the stresses on the body, my point was he was a miracle. In my 20's i was decently agile (No I couldn't dunk), that changed in my 30's. The stresses of hauling around that much took their toll on my joints i could still move and even played a little 21 on occasion, but paid the price the next few days. My point was him maintaining that agility for as long as he did makes him a freak of nature in a good way. I was saying as someone that was in the same region weight wise i understand how special he really was being able to do that
@@marshalltaylor5780 it doesn't matter if your 6'10 or 5'10. 500 lbs is not made for humans

i love one of his immediate questions is "what toilet does this man sit on".
No he just squats and pee
He probably does it Andre The Giant style... over the edge of the bathtub, then wash it down🤢🤮

I grew up with the great David Guzman from San Bernardino CA. This Boy in middle school weight 350 lbs 6'1 ran the 100 meter dash in 11 seconds flat and it took nearly the entire defense to stop him and Had moves! When we got to the Red zone, Coach would bring in the human bowling ball David Guzman full back, incredible Big Man.
I surprisingly didn’t know about him till this video, but i’m glad I found out about him. rip legend🙏🏻
"All he had was a bachelor degree in communications." That's a degree a lot of people struggle to get while selling Big Macs.
oh my god. i did not know he had passed away until now. i remember watching him play in a charity game at the madison square garden and meeting him after the game. he was such a nice guy. I took a picture with him and still have it. RIP, Escalade.

By the way he is not 500 pounds he is 375 pounds!

Why
He had weighed in excess of 500lbs during parts of his life. You can tell from the clips he fluctuated throughout his life. 375 was considered his "in shape" weight.
@@hawkeyemihawkgettingmoneylord damn why you mad
Well u knew he would die sooner or late. U take care of your health and your health will take care of you.
I remember that dude. He inspired me as an athlete.
I struggled with weight issues when I was a teenager. I gravitated towards larger athletes Like,Shaq and refrigerator Perry you know the big guys.
I started off as a strong side tackle.
They noticed I had decent speed for a kid my size.
The following year I got my shot to play full back.
It didn't last long but, that did help open the possibility in my mind that I do much more than speculated.
I love seeing a person who LOOKS like they're not supposed to be there go above and, beyond.✨
I can't work in a call center anymore
either. I feel ya Troy.
Love this video 📸.
