The game of Basketball has been my passion since I was 5 years old. I grew up as a kid watching my dad's recorded VHS tapes of playoff games through the 70s and 80s, and collected all the Basketball cards. Something about the game and what it represents just hooked me from a very young age.
My love for the game only continues to grow as time goes on. I love studying and analyzing the game, with an unbiased perspective. Feel free to subscribe, follow me on social media, and celebrate this amazing game and it's rich history with me!
I post videos every week on NBA history, predictions, hypothetical scenarios and current NBA topics.

Fun fact pj tucker has more sneakers than points

This is untrue
Shit sad
fun fact : dribbling the ball is just passing the ball to yourself.
And shooting is passing to the basket
The Kobe moto XD
@@S4L665-OnelessthantheDevil 😂😂😂 fair enough
Technically, dribbling is passing the ball to the ground, which passes the ball back to you (or the defender if the ball gets stolen).
stealing the ball is just forcing to opponent to pass to you

Here's an insane stat - John Stockton has the most steals all-time with 581 more than second place, but he only lead the league in steals for a season twice - 88-89 and 91-92.
Stockton set the all-time assists record in 1995 and the all-time steals record in 1996 and he didn't retire until 2003.
That might be because Stockton was an iron man that only missed 22 games in a 19 year career.
Here's another steals stat - Jordan is 3rd all-time, and Pippen is 7th. Bulls had them both at the same time.

Every day I'm convinced Wilt Chamberlain isn't real lmao
fr
Could you imagine if he played today with the soft big men that populate the NBA? Plus, think of Wilt with today's training methods, equipment, etc. I honestly think he would average more ppg, less rpg, more apg, and much less bpg and spg (although he would still lead the league in rpg, bpg, and spg) while playing a lot less mpg (especially if he played on a team with plenty of good to great 3-point shooters). For those of you who say he average the same amount of rpg, bpg, and spg, I'm just trying to be realistic with his averages if he played today!

After 1 and a half-hour of watching this vid, one thing's for certain MJ and Wilt are still two of my GOATs.
I think MJ was the best 1 on 1 player of all time..... but the greatest...over Wilt. Hmmm , i just cant seem to accept that.
Kobe
@@elvispresley5921 I woukd say he is. You can argue Wilts the best but MJ is much greater.
Johnny "absolute legend" Arnett strikes again.
When you think about it whether someone wins an MVP or not in a particular season doesn't actually change how they played, it just showed how they were perceived. Whether they win it or not they had the exact same performance and the MVP is not in their control. Same applies to every single thing that applies to legacy except objectives e.g: scoring title, championship. DPOY, MVP. ect don't actually show how good a player played and rather how they were perceived, so why should they decide a player's legacy? Not sure what the video would be but I feel like it's an interesting topic
Because if you're percieved as the most valuable player in the league over the entire season that is an accomplishment...
@@elefantefresa1059 didn't word my point right. Even if giannis was snubbed of all MVPs and DPOYs he still did and achieved the exact same things, so his legacy should be the same right as he got the exact same seed, stats, moments ect. Instead his legacy with by almost nothing compared to what it is now despite the fact that neither him nor anyone else except the voters actually did anything different. Because of this, I find it weird that such awards are valued so much as evidence when comparing players

Here is another fact: Larry Bird is widely considered one of the greatest shooters in NBA history (and rightfully so). His most made three pointers in a single season was 98 in 1987-1988. That blew my mind when I found that out. Steph's career high is 402 made in 2015-2016, and already has made 65 in 13 games this season as of 11/15/2022. Wild.

I am so Happy right now, beeing able to watch this Video
This was amazing and very well put together...Not 1 fact was wasted, all sneaky gems
This was legitimately one of the best nba videos I’ve ever seen on CZcams. Amazing job!
#72 On Karl Malone's Sunday chokes, that didn't actually begin just in Game 1 of the 1997 Finals. The season before, Utah lost Game 7 of the West Finals vs the Seattle Supersonics, and Malone only made 6 of 11 FT's, including missing two crucial free throws with less than 10 seconds left.
And yes, the game was on a Sunday. The Seattle home crowd was razzing him all game, and on TV, I saw one fan from the stands holding up a sign saying "The Mailman doesn't deliver on Sundays."
I think Pippen must have remembered that when he gave that quote a year later. He actually approached Malone when he was taking his free throws and whispered it to his ear. And an obviously rattled Malone (who had just won MVP of the 1996-97 regular season) missed both. And Jordan made the buzzer beater, showing who was the real MVP of the season.
I never stop learning about Wilt on this Channel :D. What a menace!

@@as-iy1vo literally nobody cares
Grant Hill would have been right there with Kobe as being able to be mentioned with MJ in the same breath - if he had stayed healthy. He probably could have been in the GOAT conversation with a ring or two. I remember how great he was for a little while. Now Bill Russell may have been the man in game 7s but the other team was never even ABLE to take MJ to seven games in the Finals. Think about that. Russell also played on an absolutely stacked super team where they had an all time great at practically every position.
3:31
Keep in mind that Steph is coached by THE ALL TIME 3 pointer efficiency leader - Kerr STILL holds that record, though it did get boosted a LITTLE by the years when the NBA shortened the line from 22' 9" to 22' 3".
Without that boost though, Kerr would STILL be ahead of Steph on efficiency, but *might* drop a few places on the all-time list.
Yea and he made 700 total in his career. He wasn’t shooting very much and wasn’t shooting anything unless it was wide open. Not even a comparison.
@@jamarreid1082 NOBODY was shooting the 3 much when Kerr played.
And the ALLEGED "high volume hurts efficiency" argument doesn't hold up well - or how did Wilt lead the league 3 times in FG% WHILE ALSO LEADING SCORING BY A WIDE MARGIN, and was #3 in FG% during his 50.4 season?
@@bricefleckenstein9666 because it was 1960… probably why we haven’t seen players averaging 25 rebounds since 1960 either, the nba was literally 6-10 years old at that point, I’m just not about to debate about those times. As far as Kerr, stop it, he could barely get his shot off he wasn’t pulling up over anybody. That’s why he was so low in attempts. If he was shooting 3s off the bounce at 45% who wouldn’t let him fire away at will??? That’s more efficient than any Michael Jordan attempt. Because he shot 45% on stand still, set your feet 3s after Jordan had sucked the defense in. Get real.
@@bricefleckenstein9666 also bringing up wilt in any argument is basically forfeiting. He was an ANOMALY. He has records from 60+ years ago that nobody will ever touch. What the hell does he have to do with 3 point shooting anyway 😂😂😂
@@jamarreid1082 The NBA itself was more like 12 - and it COUNTS the records of at least one of the leagues that merged to FORM the NBA, so about 15.
Also keep in mind that NOBODY made a lot of 3 point attempts in the 1980s and 1990s.
Kerr was NOT all that low on them compared to THE REST OF THE LEAGUE AT THE TIME.
And a lot of centers were routinely hitting 60% while being positioned to REBOUND AND PUT BACK THEIR MISSES. Try doing that as a 3 point shooter.
You also make it sound like he was shooting SET shots, like most 1950s players.
I know this took a lot of digging but
I am enjoying 😁 this immensely.
👍👍👍THANKS...!!!
Jonny Arnett really a G.O.A.T. for this, appreciate you G 🔥🤝🏽
This is an amazing video dude. Crazy that someone would know all these interesting facts about all eras of basketball and to compile them all into one enlightening video. Great job.
I'll watch all 1 hour and 23 minutes of this video. Thanks Jonny
I love your channel I randomly found it .. great voice .. great background instrumental, and makes you want to pay attention .. you gained a new follower 👌🏾
For perspective on HOW FAR ahead of his time Louis Dampier was - in the 1968-1969 season, he ALONE averaged over 7.1 3 point attempts per game (hitting 2.6 of them for a total of 199).
22 years later, in his BIGGEST 3-point season, Reggie Miller finally passed that "hits per game" mark.
26 years later, Ray Allen in HIS biggest 3 point season, Ray Allen finally passed that "attempts per game" mark.
Run-TMC needed *3* players to beat Louis's single-person season mark.
When it comes to basketball only two words you need to remember Wilt Chamberlain.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video, I really appreciate/enjoyed it
Half way through this amazing video and it’s quite obvious that the basketball Mt Rushmore consists of Wilt, Mike, Bron and Kareem.

Great video, man. Thanks for all the work you put in. Also, the guy who shot like 27 percent and put up 20 shots a game made me die laughing. That is just hysterical that someone did that.
Get as many videos as possible, these history facts and what if’s never get old💯🏀
People acuse me of being a casual fan of this game until I retort to points made at 52:00.
No casual fan knows about the Greatest rebounder pound for pound ever. That was Elgin Baylor.
Elgin Baylor actually averaged more rebounds per game than Dennis Rodman, but he was 2 inches SHORTER than Rodman.
Elgin was a 6-5 small forward in the 60's and 70's for the Lakers.
1961 Elgin will scare you. 35 PPG and 20 Rebounds per game at 6-5 and 220! That's nuts! How he didn't win MVP I'll never know.
Put some respect on Hakeem the dreams name. He's one of the best to ever do it. He would be my starting center out of everyone.
Kobe being scared of bees was def the funniest and most random

Awesome Video Jonny! & yes, watched it till the end. All of you vid's are worth watching till the end! I love how you honestly give people their due, whether it's positive or negative ^ ^.
Being a Wilt freak-fan , you never disappoint! I learned some new things , thanks to you , Much appreciated & keep up the amazing work!
BTW, i did a little investigating & if the never changed the rule about Wilt leaping to dunk the ball for a free throw & he made them all, he wooda ended up with 43,281 points, vs KAJ's 38,387.
And , if Wilt could only do that until his knee surgery , it would have been - 1,648 points , ending up with a diff of 4894/ after surgery , STILL 3,246 more points than anyone else.
Who knew math could be fun?? lol. I havent worked out if KAJ started doing that though either , lol. ( I wonder why that is) .
I am surprised that I watched the whole thing, but my favorite part was definitely when you started talking about the 2004 Detroit Pistons they are my favorite team personally and Ben Wallace is the basketball player that got me interested in basketball.... Number three Ben Wallace Pistons I need a Jersey....
This video just earned you my subscription. Fantastic work
'No on has the stamina of Wilt Chamberlain'. That's what she said. Lol 😂
Follow up to fact 33: Tim Hardaway Jr. nearly beat his dad’s record last year by setting the record for worst shooting performance in Mavericks history when he went 0-12
Yo Jonny, one thing I've never gotten in why people say that Magic Johnson is the goat point guard, and why he's never in the conversation of "true point guards". Is he not one? And why not? It feels like everyone talks around his play. It's always taken for granted that he was so good. What did he do special that makes him the goat point guard besides win a lot and be the leader is a dynasty?
Good question. I think its more of compliment for Magic than anything else tbh. For myself personally, its simply because Magic is too good of a scorer. I think when most people say "True Point Guard", they're thinking of a guy who's almost entirely a giver. Magic could take over with his scoring though, like when he dropped 42 in the 80 Finals. A True Point Guard like Stockton for example, could never dream of that.
Of the top 10 players with the highest APG average in NBA history, Magic has the 2nd highest scoring average among those players, behind only Oscar Robertson. So yeah, someone could call Magic a True PG, and I wouldn't tell them they're wrong, but for me, he's too much of a dual threat for that label.
Dope profile pic btw. Just beat all the Master Chief collection games on LASO with my brother. Was BRUTAL! lol
@@jonnyarnett thanks. Halo 2 Laso is just unfair. One of the least fun challenge runs of all time. At least you had Coop, so you have death fodder and someone to bitch and moan about the brutal difficulty too lol

I'm just starting the collection and i have to say,its pretty good.
people say this about a lot of videos and throw it around generously but this is one of the best videos ive ever seen
This is one of the most informative videos ever. I really appreciate this. I knew a bunch of these facts and but there were plenty more I didn't. Thank you Johnny!
I believe WILT CHAMBERLAIN ON EVERYTHING HE SAYS.....MAN IS A ABSOLUTE BEAST FOR ANY ERA AND IS THE GOAT....
ngl i think the public is really leaving wilt out of the goat conversation for bs reasons. If we all watched wilt drop 100 against New York on live TV everyone would be calling wilt the goat, but bc that all happened in a period of lost records, it kind of diminishes him. When your grandpa says that wilt was the goat, remember that he was there watching those games and you weren't. In 30 years we will be ranting on about Giannis, the same way they do abt those guys. Just putting that into perspective for yall.
@13:40 This team would also be the first and only NBA team to start out the season with a 10+ losing streak, yet make it to the playoffs by the end of the season. Not only that, but they would also be the first team to record a 10+ game winning streak after recording a 10+ game losing streak earlier in the season, posting an 11-game winning streak between March and April.
That mailman stat on Sundays is crazy 🤪
20:14
For perspective, there are SEVERAL folks that averaged over 40 minutes per game for their CAREER.
Wilt DOES lead that list - but Bill Russell isn't all that far behind, nor are several other well-known 1960s/1970s starting players.
For a long time , i looked at Russ with a bit of contempt. Thinking he got a name cuz of his connection to Wilt , but Jonny has shown me the error of my ways ^ ^ Now ,i have a tremendous respect for that damn Celtic , lol.
@@elvispresley5921 I like how Kareem put it in one interview when asked about the GOAT.
"Bill Russell strangled the league for 11 championships in 13 years".
(I have never seen Kareem pick a GOAT, just "best at certain things" commentary - and usually the same people mentioned in those comments).
Fact: there have been a total of 2 times where a player shot 55% on 2pfg, 40% on 3pfg%, and 90% on ft.
It’s Stephen Curry is 2016, and Stephen Curry in 2021

The 2020-2021 Wizards made the playoffs, due to the play-in tournament, while having 6 different losing streaks of 3 games or more:
2x 3 games losing streaks
2x 4 games losing streaks
2x 5 games losing streaks
(They also had 4 different 2 games losing streaks to be complete)

Great stuff lots of effort and love went into this.
Regarding Chick Hearn, I've heard that he's never been wrong when he announced "The game is in the refrigerator -- the lights are out, the doors closed, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the jello's jiggling." Not sure if it's true though.
I remember a few close calls, but as far as I can remember he was never wrong. Of course I'm not nearly old enough to recall all of them. The amount of research required to confirm that potential fact would be nearly impossible. lol
@@jonnyarnettChick did announce 3,338 consecutive games for the Lakers over 36 years! It would have 40 years had he not gotten stranded in Fayetteville, Arkansas, by inclement weather in 1965.

so are you sayn K.Durrant send 30 Tweets A Day? 2,800 Tweetsa year, with the play off 3,500- 3,700Points or 3,500 Tweets A Year Since you said more tweets thats 4,000 Tweets a season, Bro. I cant see that unless he payn some1 to Send Teeets out for him

Fact: 9:55 AC Green also holds record for oldest NBA virgin
23:46
Kobe has more misses *6 TIMES* for a season, and 3 MORE as second (total of *14* appearances in the Top 20 for misses) vs the ENTIRE LEAGUE.
Yes, Wilt managed to lead the league 4 times for misses - but he was also shooting THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE IN THE LEAGUE for 3 of those 4 years and 2'nd the other.
It wasn't all the "high volume".
For a more direct comparison, Larry Bird has an almost IDENTICAL scoring per season average (24.3 vs 25, less than 3/4ths of a point), yet never showed up in the Top *20* misses EVER.
NOT ONE TIME - even *after* his double ankle surgery and his back issues.
Read that again - almost IDENTICAL scoring, but nowhere NEAR as many misses to get there.
Yes, Kobe's bricks ARE in fact a valid issue with his game - and the next person that calls Kobe a "great shooter" should actually COMPARE HIM to the great shooters of all time - then wash their ignorant or lying mouths out with soap.
I am NOT just talking "longevity accumulation" here, I'm talking PER SEASON issues.
6:55
It gets better.
Hakeem is also one of only 2 players to be the only Hall of Fame player on a championship team (1994, but Bill Walton did that one first with Portland in the 1977 Finals).
“30>33” funniest stat ever 😂
Some more facts:
1. The Showtime Lakers had the highest relative offensive rating of all time during the later part of their existence in the late 80s and early 90s
2. Isaiah Thomas' Boston Celtics were surprisjngly one of the teams to defeat the 73-9 Warriors
3. The youngest Finals MVP of all time was Magic Johnson at only 19 years old! He switched from Point Guard to Center when Abdul-Jabbar got injured and had one of the highest scoring games of his life.
