Larry is one of those dudes that I've never heard anyone speak negatively about. His peers show him all the love!
This is why the knucklehead podcast is way better than all the smoke. Their love for basketball is shown in every episode.
I would love for them to have OJ Mayo. Didn't have a long NBA career but was my favorite player when he played for the Grizzlies.
He was mines too. Pegged him the next up so i was definitely watching. He's supposed to be making a comeback so we'll see
@@Maxtrash69 yea I followed homie since HighSchool he was & still is 1 of my favorite players & he gave mfkas that work sheesh
Seen him play varsity in Kentucky at Rose Hill and he was just in the 7th grade, bill Walker also
Everyone in Memphis loved Mayo especially at Pure Passion 🤣 him and Z-Bo showed so much love for the city
@@tramellthatsenough8659 lol ikr great times
FINALLY! Was only a matter of time till they got him! Cuz Larry don't do much interviews.
Facts, I don’t think I ever seen him do a interview (Like a podcast)
@@Roc_Official he don't... Low key brotha 💪🏾
@@Roc_Official opinionated 7 footers with Brendan Haywood and Ryan Hollins was the only other one I seen. Was funny cuz he trolled Brendan with the AAU Nationals trophy lol
Yezzir
Larry need to go on Gilbert Arenas podcast
The reason I wore 20 and 21. This was my favorite player! Salute OG.
I’m glad the knuckleheads finally interviewed LH. He was such a skilled guard; lightning quick with a handle and played both sides of the court. I wish they would have asked him more about his battles with Kobe, Wade etc
Definitely wished they asked about that .
It wasn't no battles, he got bodied by both
Q Rich and Darius Miles, please attempt to interview Sprewell. I want to hear his NBA story. 1 of my favorite players ever.
Spree is busy trying to feed his family.
@@nattydreadlocks1973 😂😂😂
Spree was living wild and father was street
He has a family to feed. No time.
One of my favorite players too !!!
Larry Hughes was so smooth with it. At 6'5" dude was so skilled as a PG. We legit thought he was coming to Kansas.
I thought the same thing I could've sworn my Jayhawks was going to get him I thought we were getting baron Davis too
Shooting Guard
@@zenodee he played both
Shooting Guard
@@jordanwilson5447 people serious with they position
Finally a true legend getting his flowers. Great interview guys 👍
Larry one of the Coldest to play. Knuckleheads getting the guys we want to hear from. Larry a Hooper, he is a bucket! Appreciate this one 🙏🏽
Facts!!!
Exactly but the media claim they were all bums and Bron carried them. Im like hold up what....? Even Mo Williams and them Boyz.
@@fritzspry8899 truth, go down the list of allstar or former allstars he has played with in his career..it's got to be the most, outside of maybe Magic and Bird
@@aaronhutchinson885 Bron had the most but Bird and Magic for sure had plenty on the floor
@@fritzspry8899 they had real hall of famers
Larry Hughes so underrated
Had better game than Iverson but iverson had rep and overbearing personality. I believe Larry would have gotten more shine of not in the shadows of gunning AI.
You sound ill
I always respected Larry for going to his hometown college to stay close to his sick brother
I remember being in high school going to Hughes games man they used to be lit!! StL stand up! Shout out to DMiles & Q love the show!!
It makes me so happy hearing stories about GP from other guys.
I see Q face when DMiles announced Larry. Let D get some shine. Q always have the Chicago legends he knew and grew up with and he be smiling ear to ear. Even though Larry from STL and DMiles from East St Louis pretty much across the water from each other so pretty much the same city.
DmIles is so happy his fellow brotha from the STL is in this joint
DMiles from East st.ouis
Other than the Kobe interview this my instant favorite... im from Northside stl...Grand and Cozens Ave behind London and Sons... im proud of yall keep reppin...Larry you the God
I'm from over them ways but I was down by the Water tower I use to live directly behind Devon Alexander the Great & Cory Spinks was on 20th🥊🥊🥊 Mann I love the "LOU"
I'm from over them ways but I was down by the Water tower I use to live directly behind Devon Alexander the Great & Cory Spinks was on 20th🥊🥊🥊 Mann I love the "LOU"
is it true thats nelly, Jkwon, Chingy all shot videos on the north by cory spinks crib ?
I never know Larry grew up on the Northside that's where I'm from.. seeing him takes me back when I was entering my Freshman yr in high school.. I just remember the buzz around him & seeing his highlights on the news.. Larry& D.Miles thanks for putting on for the city 314/618 all day every day.. much love for them 2🏀🏀🏀🏀
Yeah I used to hang with his cuz Abe
I was locked up with his dad slim in federal prison
@@calsums914 wow I know his dad probably regrets not be in his life& missing out on so many blessings.. I have mad love for Larry I see him around town& he's always cool& laid back that's my personality as well& I just love what he stands for & I love how he put on for the"LOU" .. I hate we never crossed paths on the court although I played with some of the best of the best in the "LOU" around that time Anthony Bonners family lived 3 houses down from my grandmother & I played a lot of pick up with his nephew Lamont that played for the Nevada Wolfpack..my freshman yr was Larry Senior yr but I was always playing with older guys.. but never got to play pick up with him.. you name a park in the "LOU" I was there from Fairground to hwy 40🏀🏀🏀
@@montrezhadley251 Larry is basketball hooper.Meaning he went to private high school and didn't have time hanging on the block.His dad was good dude hope he healthy.This over 20 years ago.
man Larry Hughes is one my favorite nba player
Thank you so much for a great interview with Larry Hughes!! I’m from the STL. It good to hear his basketball journey. I know the family man that he is.🙏🏾❤️
As I'm listening to this interview I think the fact that HS basketball didn't get nearly as much media coverage back then played a big part in why Larry Hughes made it. As he started playing in tougher games in HS and AAU allowed him to challenge himself and gauge his skill on different levels. I think the fact that kids can literally post a highlight of themselves on social media and get 100,000 likes for one highlight can give them a false confidence. Larry stayed humble throughout the process and it helped him tremendously.
Larry Hughes was smooth as silk
I also like how q let d miles really do this interview it’s a Stl thing
I noticed that too
D Miles is not from St. Louis
@@calsums914 where he from?
@@g..._anthony27 East St. Louis, Illinois
Yeah it’s just across the Mississippi River from St. Louis .
I remember when LH was in high school, and he hit a half court shot at the buzzer to tie the game at the Old CBC....it was crazy in that joint! When Larry went pro, I don't think one person held it against him because EVERYONE knew his situation, and we were just happy to have that one year. Then you guys got me thinking about players before Larry. I go back as far back as Jo Jo White from Beaumont. His pictures used to be in the barber shop when in the early 70's because he was from my hood. Anthony Bonner was around my time and I was in the house when his jersey was retired.
D-Miles is a helluva interviewer.
Larry Hughes mentioned Vernon Maxwell. Mad Max would be great guest @Knuckleheads Podcast
Mad max interview are good cause he talks like a regular person who just so happen to play in the nba
Nah this crazy, real hoopers going enjoy this one
ayyyyeee this was my 2k SG from 2k3 til like 2k10 lmao..from his time with the Sixers, to the Cavs! to the Wizards!! once again knuckleheads y’all keep BUSSIN EM ON THE HEADS with these early 2000 killers!
Met Larry a few times and he is a very humble guy ... glad y'all brought him in
Bought a bulldog from him he had a kennel.Good brother
Great discussion with a humble and honest man is always respected. For it to be with someone on the caliber of Larry Hughes is much appreciated.
Y’all need to put time stamps of what you guys are talking about
Thank you for putting the time stamps on!
🤣🤣🤣
Brandon Roy would be a great guest.
Mad cool to see Larry Hughes
Larry Hughes was one of my favorites from the Sixers than when he was killing it on Wizards! He should of been an all-star 2004 season… averaged 22- 6 rbs, 5 asts, and league leader with 3 steals a game. Got robbed from all star that year
Agreed
He put in work for my fantasy team
Good old contract year
FACTS Larry had a sick all around game but his game and persona wasn't loud so he could slip under the radar ...I'm a wizards fan and i was legit disappointed when they let him walk..
...cause they had selfish overrated Iverson on the team. While Larry had a higher shooting percentage Iverson had green light to take all the shots.
I have been waiting for a Larry Hughes interview. Can't wait to watch this!
To see and hear the excitement the blackest one! You can tell Larry really IS a legend! Darius don’t give it up like this all the time.
Larry Hughes was nice, could give you 20 and guard your best guard/wing sorta like Jrue Holiday💯
Just stayed hurt
He was always hurt when he came to Cleveland
@@dvbaby2120 so what. Give this man his flowers he was a hooper
In his prime he had more bounce than Jrue tho
@@vharris5503 jrue ass in sorry. Hughes better
We finally get the Legendary "Boog" 🤣🤣🤣 Larry Was always so underrated to me. But he always did his job on every squad.
Dope interview...Larry was always one of my favorite guards...I was disappointed as a wizards fan when the fo let him walk...He was the leader and all around player the team needed...Had great chemistry with the guys fr On top of that he was the only one who could keep Gil wild ass in check 😂.....I remember when he was in DC and even got a chance met him n Twan at a local gym, he was always in the community working with the youth...Good to see he's still building on that legacy in his hometown the LOU..Hope his and AL business keeps growing...
One of my favorite players growing up! Will always be a Wizards legend in my book!
I met Coach Spoon when I was probably 8 or 9. He was in the basketball court at Jefferson Barracks hospital. Took time to help me with free throws.
I never played past highschool but I still have a good jumper.
Legend !!!!!!!!!
Really love their in person interviews, Authentic.. shout out to Larry Hughes!
The closest I ever came to an NBA player was Larry Hughes I was working in the general merchandise section of a store called Schnucks which is still in St Louis I worked at the one on Lindell Boulevard which is right down the street from Saint Louis University I saw Larry Hughes he was playing for SLU I spoke he nodded and said what's up one of the moments of my life🔥🔥🏁 I'm so happy Larry & his family still doing well ST LOUIS is underrated when it comes to talent we just need to cultivate our talent better we would have probably a lot more guys like Larry Hughes in so many different Industries...
Hoping for the best for my city 💪🏿
Great Interview🔥🔥🔥🔥
I played against kuzma tobias and Terrence mann

R.I.P Justin his younger brother. We was in school together
Larry Hughes Baby!
Yo D Miles' dunk contest question was so direct, straight no chaser😗😇basically “What made you think you can jump with V. Carter?”
Bring Monta Ellis next on here and All The Smoke podcast.
Great show! It’s good to see Larry, one of my favorites
Yes yes yes St Louis baby
He was always a solid brotha, as a man who grew up in the Philadelphia area, I recall when he came to Philly and was paired with Ai . And he was young and smooth with his game. No issues no negative vibes like he was really is a man other players always speak highly of especially these 2
I remember Larry Hughes was going to battle with Kobe when he first was traded to Golden State. I believe Kobe had 40somethin but Hughes had about 38.
He actually gave Kobe 41, don't remember how many Kobe had.
Yeah Kobe had 30 that game… I heard Larry Hughes was looking him up and down too after some of the moves he was putting on Kobe…
@@derrickharmon6470 find the game(s) for me
@@derrickharmon6470 I searched CZcams for that game but couldn’t find it. Don’t remember L.H. ever giving Kobe the business…
@@kisswriters Larry Hughes gave Lakers 40+ that game.
One of my favorite players!
It's about time, Larry that dude
Love the content from Knuckleheads!💙
Y’all come with heat! Rocked wit this cat heavy
Dope one guys! I was a big Larry Hughes fan back in the days
Wasn’t selfish enough! Could’ve/ should’ve been a STAR in the 2000’s
They forgot to ask about the time he caught Gil ordering 2 burgers 4 scoops of Vanilla ice cream 3 sodas everywhere they went using his tab 😂😂😂
Yea I remember when Gil crazy ass talked about that
Exactly lol I was waiting for a No Chill reference

Yessaaaaaa I been yearning for this
Let’s go this one should be good
Larry a G. Much respect
🗣 Best podcast period 💯
I love that he respectfully called out Brad Beal’s defense.
Larry Hughes and Jamal Crawford were who I wanted my game to be like. J Crossover on Off/Hughes on Def. A 6'5 combo guard shot creator that gets fish grease hot and flashy handle with slick moves. I ended up being a 6'1 Kryie w lock down ability.
@@davidmcTurd he hurt his knee like all of the rest 🤣
@@AmiriHipHop 😂😂😂
A 6’1 Kyrie is Kyrie lol.
Y’all brother energy is the shit lmao 😂 I love watching all the players I grew up on. Esp remembering that knucklehead era with the clippers. I still do that till this day when I’m giving the business on the court
Real North County Legend...
ABOUT TIME
Hopefully you guys can get more old school players. Great show
I always thought Larry Hughes was top 10 coolest dudes in the league. Always wished he took that next step up but a long & good career.
