Where would you rank Kevin McHale on the list of the NBA's all-time greats?
Best power forward on the low block ever. Nobody could guard him, that's how good Kevin McHale was.
@Darryl Davis All the centers who tried to contain McHale really didn't and McHale had success against all the best centers of the 80s including Kareem and Hakeem. The only thing that stopped McHale were injuries.
Top 5 power forwards
Top 40
AL Will #2 after Tim Duncan!!!
Kevin McHale is one of the reasons KG became so great. He taught him how to operate in the post when KG was a young player.
KG was great coming outta high school which is why was drafted straight from high school. But I get what you’re trying to say
Facts McHale taught KG the little nuisances of playing the PF position, thats like saying Kobe was so great bcuz he learned almost everything from MJ...I believe no great NBA player in history wouldn't have been great had it not been for the generations b4 them
Mcale was better than KG!!!
@@cornelldavis6703 lol I'm sure you're joking but naw
David C Mcale was a Baaaaaaaaddd man!!!! No one could check him no one !!!!
This is a great series. It was great that you were able to illustrate that there was more to him than just numbers, though his numbers were nothing to sleep on.
Kevin McHales's numbers were great. He is the only player in NBA history to shoot over 60% FG and 80% FT. the next year he was almost 60/80 again. Oh by the way he also averaged over 20ppg both of those seasons. He shot over 55% FG for his career and actually started to hit 3pt shot's late in his career too.
Keep doing this segment! As a 22 year old nba fan I love hearing about just how good the "old guys" were!
Me too! (25yo) The 80s and 90s were just Great.
@@donjuan3085 Kevin McHale was the truth, man.
Nobody under 40 mentions Elvin Hayes.
I know all to well being a long time Detroit piston fan. He was definitely the truth.
"Kevin, you're a great teammate and I love you like a brother... so I'm going to let you enjoy that scoring record for a week, maybe, before I break it!"
--Larry Bird
This was perfect for the uninformed! The man with 1000 moves, Kevin Mchale is in my top 4 PF all time
One of the best sixth men, alongside Ginóbili and Kucoç.
and bill walton
Although great in their own right, Ginobili and Kukoc will never have the status or impact of Kevin Mckhale
how about lou williams, jamal crawford and Vinnie Johnson?
*Kukoç
Toni Kucoc ? ?
I love basketball because of McHale...saw him play on TV against the Bucks in the playoffs in '87 and thought to myself "Bird who?". From then on I've loved the Celts and b-ball. Simply amazing on both ends of the floor.
Can’t wait for the “you kids just don’t know” D. 🌹 😢
I remember going to celtic games when I was in high school when he first came into the league. During the lay up line before the game, he had that youthful bounce and was doing 360 dunks, and just laughing about it. It was so cool.
Kevin's fadeaway jumper was virtually unblockable. He was 6' 10" with an 8 foot wingspan!!! Two or 3 guys smothering him under the basket and he would still make his moves and get the ball in the hoop. That's why it was nicknamed Kevin's "Torture Chamber" and he played against some of the top power forwards and centers during an era when it was a very physical game.
Loved the up and under move he had. Unstoppable.
Unorthodox in every way! Kevin was the white Hakeem to me. His under the basket moves(up and under) was unstoppable.
I always thought he started next to Robert Parrish ? That’s even more amazing seeing he did this stuff off the bench 👀
Man you ain't by yourself on that one this was news to me ..but I hated Boston and always went against them so maybe that's it
He did beginning in 1985. 80-84 he was the best sixth man in the league. 85-87 he was the best PF who ever lived.
He was the 6th man until they traded Cedric Maxwell, 1985 maybe. then he was a starter.
My god. 19 points on 8 shot attempts
Oh yeah, Mchale gave Kareem the business in '84 and took Hakeem to school in '86. If he wasn't playing on a broken foot in '87, the Celtics probably would have won another chip. McHale had the best low post moves of any power forward in history and the opposing centers couldn't guard him either. Facts 💪🔥
Stop it, the Celtics were lucky to win it 1984 and Hakeem was a baby in 1986
@@agent0200 🤣
Agent 0 good one brah 😂
@@agent0200 You stop it. They keep score and the Celtics won. Facts.
Lowkey one of the best basketball series on CZcams.
I agree my friend!! I was in 8th grade I my mom bought me sneakers of my choice.. I got converse Kevin's shoes came with a VHS tape of his moves in the paint I used them to perfection. Kevin was a A1 baller.
You still have that tape? Please share it with us!
@@QinEmperorShiHuangDi VHS of Kevin McHale and his footwork..I believe you joking but I just might have it
i'm not joking, I'm a huge Kevin McHale fan@@soulbrother3299
Being able to have someone like Kevin McHale come off the bench would be gold for any team. The idea of starting is overrated...There's a huge difference between being in the game when it's tied with 48 minutes left and being in the game when it's tied with one minute left.
I grew up in the 80s, and I saw McHale and Worthy got at it. It was a masterclass in low post play. Consummate footwork on both, one had the moves, one had the quickness. It was beautiful to watch.
Love these videos, giving love to unsung greats
Probably the most underrated player of all time. People always seem to look at the stat sheets, and they come to the conclusion that a player like Karl Malone was better, but McHale was better than Malone on both ends of the floor. Just ask Charles Barkley.
You need to do Bernard King!
Love this
This is great and would be even better if we can see Chris break down his actual game film instead of showing photo stills...
This is your best take ever
Really awesome segment!!! Refreshing to see journalistic recognition of the greats of the past, vice the latest twitter battle assessment. Actual sports content on Fox Sports!!! What an amazing concept!!!
Earthbound 😂
And in the HOF are you?
Clean
7 Laker fans & 8 NewYork fans.equal 15 dislikes..
All the old heads know Kevin, and laud him copiously. Had he been on another team, they might have built it around him. He was a bit in the shadow of Larry Legend with the Celtics, but integrated with that perfectly and unselfishly..
He looks like Herman Munster
and yes he looks like Herman Munster. 👾
8 FOOT WINGSPAN...to put that in perspective, that's 96" and Wilt's was 92"
Bob Cousy 'Ya gotta be a little bit of a freak to play this game'[in reference to his own huge hands
Foot work.
The greatest power forward after Tim Duncan
All Laker fans HATED Kevin McHale. We all knew why we hated him. He was a straight up GOAT. We never questioned that. We witnessed it.
He is one of the best PF ever but when you only look at 18 and 7 it looks pretty basic
He came off the bench for the beginning of his career, then got injured at the end of his second year as a starter and was never the same. In his prime he was unstoppable.
Please post a Chris Mullin video
Northern 🍕
hakeem was rookie lol hadn't established himself as an elite defender or
That’s a lie he made all nba second team his first year in the league and made all nba 1st team in 1987, he came in a great defender.
2nd or 3rd yr. Think 2nd
But Lebron James is the only player with great teammates.. Smh
As an unathletic white dude myself, I studied his post moves to help me get some buckets on the playground.
oh stop it
Nah he's only got gold range
ok boomer
'one of the bets to ever to it'? To what? Spell check?
The Clothesline is everything that sucks about old head hoops.
As long as there's a contact to the ball it's just a hard ball and don't be so soft 💪🏻
Using the up and under time and time again because guys keep falling for it does not make one a genius post player. He's a bit overrated.
When you can make Hakeem Olajuwon look silly on defense then yes your a genius
You have to be trolling with that kindve take lol
Why do they keep falling for it? Because it was a great move. Could you guard it?
Can we see your highlight reel?
@@theone8557 You don't have to be a world class vocalist to know mediocre singing when you hear it. Not to point out the obvious...
@@Heraclitean yea but nobody should really care about your opinion if you can't do better.
Shut up the mid y90s were WEAK and that’s why LeBron is greater than MJ
No Warriors, no KD, Kawhi, Giannis, Dirk, Duncan, Harden, AD, Luka...
