Had me thinking this was a 03 interview with the baggy hiphop fit. Professor legendary , hes a basketball ball icon.
LOL his haircut too screams 1997-2003!!
@@Defender78 only the goats can pull that look off. Hes one of them. Im 51 now, so I cant. Instead im rocking with tapered tracksuits like im Gandolfini
I graduated high school in 2003.....I still wear my baggy clothes.
Been following Rachel since the 2k days. The growth is stupendous.
wow that means a lot, thank you!!
You still look great like you haven't aged a day. And more importantly you still love basketball.
@@mitchmarvelous6412Its better to just say "you look great" and leave out the part of about aging. And leave out the "still" part. My opinion.
But thats just my opinion on "you look good for a...." type compliments
@@VanessaWong-yi5pe wow . Nothing on your growth has been stupendous? That's him calling her old not me. I was sincere and honest sorry your like that. We are all aging except Rachel. Honestly tho you should know I was complimenting her beauty without any kind of negativity it's more eye of the beholder with how you took that and turned it negative. Either way you look beautiful too sorry for upsetting you or forgetting to compliment you as well. I'm getting old now with gray hairs showing up. I used to get the u look exactly the same or still young. Never confused it for insults. However if someone said your growth has been stupendous...I would be mad cuz honestly it hasn't been stupendous not even close it's patronizing its sincerity.
@@VanessaWong-yi5pe thank you in all honesty your not wrong. I've never been good at this. I used to let them come talk to me. That didn't work very good either. I guess I only said it like that cuz the first comment upset me with how fake or insincere it sounded. Maybe he really meant that. I was just being honest and she looks the same as when I first saw her in the video games which was over five yrs ago maybe longer plus I haven't seen her since those video games almost ten yrs ago. Other than a dunk contest show she was on called dunk champs I think. She doesn't need my comments anyway she knows what she looks like I think.
Loved the interview! It’s nice seeing you two back together. I can sense the mutual respect and friendship.
I remember when he would come roll through the 24hr fitness in Glendale back in the day and I would have to guard him and my thought process was like "Don't get crossed too bad" lol
AZ
Always great to see Professor with you !
thank you!! always an epic collab!
I’m so excited for this show! Keep up the great work. We’ll be watching.
thank you so much!!!
Great interview, Rachel. You have a gift of getting the best out of people. Have a great day.
The conversations you have with the Professor flow: very entertaining to sit back and listen.
thank you!! glad you enjoyed!
Love everything you're doing Rachel ❤
Thats my dude right there. Such a chill dude!
Thank you for letting Professor talk Rachel✅
Of course!! 🙏🏼
Professor, I followed you on the and 1 show. Awesome ball handler and shooter. Love checking out your videos on CZcams. Great interview and wish you all the best. #GORACHEL...will be following for future interviews.
Great Interview MS Rachel. Wishing you and the Professor Family and friends and subscribers Happiness,prosperity, and Good Health for many many years to come
Love you Rachel, will always support your content ❤
thank you so much!!
Wow! This is a great interview by Rachel. The Professor should’ve been in the NBA for sure.
Thank you!!! NBA missed out on a good one in the Professor!
Agreed, or at least the G-League. ⛹🏼
Nah
height is a big barrier to enter high level team basketball to succeed.
@@WaveRider1989 and strength and athleticism. He had none of those. He would’ve been picked on all day as the weakest defender.
Dude is a straight animal. Doesn’t get better. ❤️🏀💯
How do I not know about this channel?! New sub. And the professor? Lets go!
welcome!!! and thank you!! hopefully you stay for more.. have some fun interviews on deck!
In one CBA season, Grayson Boucher averaged 4.5 points and 2.3 assists on .426 shooting.
Even his per 36 stats were just 7.9 points and 4.0 assists. Mind you this is the CBA.
Professor is better at basketball than 99.9% of all humans, but he probably wasn't good enough to make the NBA. Maybe if he grew more as a player back then, which was possible.
To be able to hold your own in the CBA is impressive, but you need to be in the top 1% of CBA players to make the NBA.
Kids don't understand how good you have to be to even sniff the CBA or G-League.
Yup it's like Jake Paul beating up old boxers and washed up MMA guys.
Ppl just don’t understand how incredible those nba players are. Plus you have to have size, length….some attributes
Guys his size that make the NBA are tremendous athletes. Watch the video of him w Jason Williams, who was a small NBA player…the professor is tiny. Guys like Nate Robinson and Mugsy Bouges are built different.
@@socramhaven Mugsey and Spud averaged 10 ppg at times in their career, so why didn't Professor thrive in the CBA (think of it like a D3 pro-league, or a MLB AA minor league)
Professor should play in the NBA Celebrity Allstar game.
Good to see so the professor a legend blessings to him and Rachel
Great interview! I love the Professor 💯 🏀
THANK YOU!!!
Hi rachel another amazing video much love and support always
Thank you!!!!
@@rademita ypur welcome :)

@51:22 - #TheProfessor out-here teachin'-'n-preachin'...❤🔥
Professor keeping it on❤❤

I’ll never forget the professor giving me 100 dollars at my lemonade stand when I was 10ish. Keizer legend!!
Legend 😎
esse cara é uma lenda aqui no Brasil , ótima entrevista,um abraço do Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
🫶🏼🇧🇷
20:30 prof better post that loss! Haha! And the comeback too!
Rachel and Professor definitely has some chemistry. You guys would be good together 😁 Good interview got to really no more about professor. I remember watching him on AND1 him and Hot sauce would go at it.
I didn't know she was doing an hour podcast, damn. If Rachel wants to take over this kinda thing she would be perfect. I mean PERFECT
Thank YOU!! Get ready because we have a lot more longer interviews coming soon 👀
@rademita You are a beautiful soul inside and out and whoever is with you that person is blessed to have you and y'all guys should never lose each other anyway keep up the good work and keep pushing and chasing your dreams and never let anyone or anything stand in your way Rachel
thank you 🙏🏼
The professor and helicopter were 🔥
Love the interview. Professor should join Harlem globetrotters. Much respect
Ive never heard of Rachel but nice to hear the history in this interview.
I would like to see them going out
Rachel is such a good bball player..I love it
Just found this channel 2ktv was so much better with Rachel, great interview.
thank you so much for supporting!!!
answered like a true politician
The way he threw that fool was classic 😂
Shes super Cold work
Iloveu rachel..uwian na...frm ph🇵🇭
❤💯
Were can I get his sweat suit it's dope ?
congrats Fess... Ol man with me now Lol. 40
Like to see him coach
I am 56 and play 3 times per week. In a few over 50 leagues, but also play at the Y pickup against all ages, and have a few mixed runs with guys in their 30s-40s. I can honestly say, I am a much better player today than I was 25 years ago. Take care of your body, keep you weight in check, and you can can play as long as you want. :)
Miss you watching when you were on 2ktv
Aint gonna Lie Man,Dem And1 Shoes were Comfortable! I only wish I could find the All White 2004-2005 Lowcut Pair Ones ! My favorite pair of all-time and if ever find a Pair again That would be freakin Awesome! ✌️
Shout out at the professors sitting back 🥃
I want to see Professor go back to the NCAA!
How insane would that be!! Haha
spiderman basketball was a classic series! 🏀🕷
Professor would get schooled in the league! Still seems like a cool athlete
Hezigod catchin strays😂
Hello Rachel 👋👋 always watching here in Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 we love you ❤❤❤
Awe thank you!! Much love always 🫶🏼
@@rademita uwian na
Dude looks like Lloyd Christmas 😂
Rachel is definitely interested
Was that winston bishop on the intro
7:57 professor said it correctly in the beginning. He did play professionally. A professional means you make money playing the sport (And 1 tour) doesn’t just mean NBA
He didn't play in the league because he wasn't good enough. Plain and simple. That's not a knock; it's reality. He's 5'10 and very skinny. Who in the league would he guard?
Exactly and he has absolutely no athleticism….isnt fast,zero agility and cant jump. No offense because this dude was my childhood,loved him with AND1 and he was one of my faves but as a grown man i can honestly say he didnt have the talent to make it to the NBA.
I wonder if he will ever join the Big3 league!
Great interview representation of a sports girl. Just gorgeous!
Rachel using "Pause" is everything.
Could you imagine if I didn’t say it 😭😭
Facts
@Pointofviewblvd but then the professor didn't pause right after he said he "went in between his legs." 😂
theyre compatible❤
So pretty ❤️
I think it's kinda cool and mystical in a way he never made the NBA. He'll always have that streetball legend status and the what ifs surrounding him.
100%!!
What determines the state of the NBA is how your team is doing. We got Jalen Brunson the NBA is great to me.
Hahah fair
why is Rachel so beautiful.
have the Professor in the celebrity game
Two Gemini twins the chemistry is 🔥
And 1 was my high school. The Spider-Man was my bad marriage. Lol
id watch if Professor played in all star game
First off, traveling and carrying the ball isn't gonna work in the NBA, and schooling a bunch of nobodies isn't gonna get you an invite. I'm still a fan, but and 1 guys aren't NBA caliber players. Skip to my Lou made it, anyone remember him? I rest my case.
Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite
“How much you wanna bet I could throw a football over dem mountains. If coach would have put me on 4th quarter we would have won state, no doubt.”
I moved to LA. I partied on Monday🤣🤦♂️
I remember my sister getting called out from the crowd at halftime of a college game to compete in a 3 point contest against 3 men. She smoked them.
Ive always wondered if the professor is related to Bobby?
Saw some interview that the young guns from the Strong group team that Dre played for recently and they have nothing but good things to say about Dre just FYI
so sweet thank you for sharing 🙏🏼. Dre loved playing with strong group!
He dropping way more ppl the older he got
So basically the professor didn't get into the NBA is because And 1 told him he would make more money with them instead of going to the real pros. 🤦♂
Hey rachel
Behind the back favorite move? 🤔
Dudes forehead is wild, goes great with that haircut😁
Professor's drip is still back 2000's era, dude hasnt evolved 1% lol
You two needs to hang out...that is if you're not hanging out yet
It’s the “wokeness” in the WNBA we don’t like…go woke, go broke! Great interview.the Professor is just such a great guy
Is this the chick from nba2k tv?!
That's Nate Diaz 😅
My guy, if you’re in the park, at the spot. Why aren’t you holding bro ha. No ones fowling out a 1 on 1 dawg. 😎
The women’s game will rise for two simple reasons. Skill levels and rivalries. Marketing is one thing but the stories within the games goes much farther in drawing attention to the game. That’s what happened when Magic and Bird entered the NBA. Question is, will the WNBA nurture the incoming players, their followings, and the individual rivalries or will jealousy squander this opportunity to grow their league
This will be the first year I actually see a WNBA game live and it’s because of Iowa’s #2. When she visits Chicago I’ll go see a game. But the WNBA has a long long way to go. It has never turned a profit and costs the NBA $10 million. Let’s imagine a business of any kind…that is allowed to exist year in and year out with a $10 million deficit but the government bails that business out. And then the employees of that company are getting paid on average $100-120K/yr. But then those employees complain that they aren’t making more $….anyone of sound mind would say…”You’re an entitled idiot who is ungrateful for your opportunity to get paid in an enterprise that is entirely unproductive (aka doesn’t turn a profit).” This is why socialism is terrible. Technically when we buy tickets to an NBA game, part of that money is being redistributed to WNBA players. It’s called robbing Peter in order to pay Paul but the robbery happens covertly via a third party so it doesn’t “feel” like robbery. And like in any socialist system the people who receive the benefit have no incentive to generate their own profit because they’ve become dependent (and entitled) to the hand that feeds them and feel they are “owed.” Envy and jealousy and selfishness become the dominating features of the person instead of gratitude, humility, and a willingness to improve
So it's people, not socialism
she still look like a pretty good 304
He looks like his gear is from 06.
I love it. He sticks to the roots.
@@JLP47 I'm 48 playboy you don't know shit.
Professor dresses like a Man is supposed to dress, baggy clothes. Not this tight crap.
