  • As professional athletes coming into any professional sports, you don't get to determine where you will play for the first years of your career. You don't get to pick your coach, teammates, GM or fans like you do in college. Sometimes it works out for you and sometimes it doesn't. Here's an athlete it didn't workout for as of now. Here's 3 reasons why I think their growth was abruptly stunted. Who knows, maybe they'll return to form. I sure hope so. Thank you for watching.

    The thing i admired about Sauce was that he found his lane and was never worried about going to a higher level. Dude was in movies , music videos, and video games. He had the best and 1 career. Hot sauce was my favorite growing up , dude had the whole country tryna dribble like him. He had the biggest influence too in my opinion. Main Event might’ve been a stunted growth player as well. i think he was supposed to be coached by van gundy. If you could ? Main event would be dope.

He was like the boy nextdoor u always wanted to root for that made it to the League...Both could have played brothers in a urban basketball film where Crawford had the length, bounce too catch alley oosp and handle to be his own stunt double and hotsauce had the tricks and style.

    Hot Sauce....man, what can really be said about homie, except, wow. Not to mention another reason why Allen Iverson should be a top 10 all-time player, based off of influence alone. Sauce was clearly inspired, and dished out a phenomenal dose of his own inspiration to NBA players as well. The most popular Streetball alumni, no doubt, but we all know without Skip, Head, Main, Shane, Half, and of course Moe(R.I.P.), none of this would even be possible. Really wish all of the guys could just let go of the egos, and get this reunion going like we all know they should. The history these brothers made should have already been made into a movie. Hot had the type of handle reminiscent of a guard from NYC projects, which contributed to his seamless fit with them, at least in the beginning. If "champion" is truly his last name, then he most definitely fulfilled that prophecy, but we can never forget it's never about just one, because one is none without the whole. Real ninjas know what's up with professional league politics, and how so many qualified got jerked, and cheated out of a real chance to compete, and make it in that arena. Glad Hot stuck to his, and followed his own heart, and dreams. Great video, and much appreciated.

    Listen I understand the style didn't fit with the nba, but everyone is taking away from a player being able to adapt and adjust. His handle outside of carrying and the travel shit. I think he could've adjusted if given the proper training and coaches. People talk about statue but there were plenty of small guards 5'9 or short that made it so that argument should be dismissed. His jumpshot was slow but there's plenty of unorthodox jumpshots in the league. People underestimate people willing to adapt and adjust. You talking about a guy who life was basketball.
