Remember that 0.4 derek fisher shot against the spurs
Yes I do. My block lost power that day when I was looking forward to watching that game the whole day.
Wilson Sy all good man :D
crazy shot lol
Yeah, where they didn't even start the timer until Fisher had already caught it, turned around, jumped, and the ball left the hands.

The most underrated Heat player should be Glen Rice instead of Haslem.
Yeah he we was better with the hornets but people knew he could ball. What about Rony Siekly? He was pretty underrated.
glen rice a beast but that longevity and availability of haslem is partially why
It's an absolute travesty that "it's an absolute travesty" wasn't uttered in this video.
Mark Price is mentioned so often in these forgotten and under rated videos that soon he wont be under rated and forgotten anymore.
Kevin Johnson was more underrated then price!!! Kj went to finals and price never did! Kj should be in hall of fame
😂
Agreed. To me personally, I think the most underrated Cav is either Larry Nance Sr. or Bingo Smith.
I remember Sean Elliot hitting that ridiculous shot against Portland
Yes and the final score was San Antonio's only lead
crazy shot to end it
You must be talking about the shot he took from his tiptoes because if his heels touched he would have been out of bounds.
Dennis Johnson won 3 NBA championships. 1 with Seattle and 2 with Boston bub
dang
Yeah but it's just when he was there
@@Letthat him not being underrated back then is completely irrelevant to now
Dennis Johnson and Gus Williams on the Seattle championship team were mercurial. Gus could run and push tempo and had a killer pop up jump shot, and DJ still had his young, bouncy legs, would drive the baseline and throw down on people and led the NBA that year in shots blocked by a guard. Brilliant move by the Celtics to pick him up, joining Bird, McHale and Parish to form one of the great teams, ever. When Larry Bird says you’re the best teammate he ever played with . . .
@@gregjones3671 they also had Jack Sikma I think
I remember Jeff Malone used to do off balanced mid range jumpers. They were hard to guard because he would alway jump sideways. And he was an underrated defensive player too.

Spot on about Terry Porter and Clyde Drexler for Portland. Porter was a hard-nosed competitor and “Clyde the Glide” yeah he did.
Gail Goodrich played a big role in Lakers' history apart from the one on the court: in 1976 he was traded to the Jazz (then in NO) for the 1979 draft 1st round pick: that very year it was the 1st overall and became............#32.........
I might’ve said Jamaal Wilkes for the Lakers. Nobody ever mentions him even though he’s a hall of famer, got his jersey retired, and played with Magic and Kareem and won titles.
lmao dudes got quite a list of awards
Jamaal Wilkes is also underrated
Johnson also won the sonic their only chip and finals mvp but no one mention him as a top sonic when made all nba second team a lot
you're spot on my man
,
@@inthepaint2907 u8,ez,z 0 y7y
elie frederic true true
Another one for the Bucks could be Junior Bridgeman. Had the NBA had the Sixth Man award in his day he would have won it more than once. Despite being a bench player the team retired his #2. AND he took his salary and became one of the largest Wendy's franchise owners and one of the wealthiest former NBA players.
Gail and mark price were both very underrated. Great vid Wilson! Keep it up 👍
I’ve always wanted to see a video like this. Great video thank you so much for the amazing content
agreed, we may do something like this, would love to know what u think
haha @0:22 the Fisher+Horry pic is classic
I'd choose Tom Chambers over Shawn Marion for the Suns. Most people know who Marion is, but just about everyone responds with "who?" when mentioning Chambers. Both have similar NBA resumes but Chambers had the more accomplished overall career and high points including a 60 point game and the most famous dunk for the Suns.
agree,he missed the m.u at Seattle also so he is the only one that could be the m.u in 2 teams :v
Marion was underrated as well. People know him cuz of his jump shot but forget how good he was. Played like a star and a hof even was a great defender. Still agree with chambers tho
Kevin Johnson is hugely underrated! Never is talked about. When he was up there and as good as Stockton and Isaiah Thomas!!!
Btw Kevin Johnson and chambers both should be in hall of fame! Their still 2 players that made suns who they are and the reason too that they got Barkley
@@alansnow1129Nah not Chambers
I guess u never saw Terrell Brandon in Cleveland. More Derek Harper in Dallas at all
for the Clippers I would say Ken Norman, most nba fans know that ron harper was good at LA but a lot have never even heard of Ken Norman, Grizzlies I would go with Bryant Reeves, Nets Buck Williams, Derrick Coleman or Kenny Anderson, Could put Ricky Pierce for sonics, Hawks I could put Kevin Willis but Blaylock is also a good choice, Jazz Rickey Green, Jeff Hornacek or even Jeff Malone, maybe matt harpring
I 100% agree with everything you said my man, I like that you know your NBA stuff would like to even hear/read more of it in the comments of our videos
@@inthepaint2907 I was thinking of starting an NBA youtube channel myself but I have no idea how to edit videos, which programs to use, what sort of camera and microphone etc. Got any advice?
Damn Ken Norman ol Fighting Illini the Snake. I haven't heard that name since the 90s
I'm a 50 year old Celtics fan! RIP D.J. seems like he always did something good in crunch time.
Unique video. I like it. I remembered all these guys. Cool. Cool.
Norm Van Lier and Bob Love would like a word with the author of this video about the Bulls.
Jerry Sloan
one of my favorite coach gimmicks was the way Dale Davis , and Antonio Davis would constantly be switched off of the bench. It was a fun gimmick to watch as the coach tried to confuse teams with that similar jersey name .
Antonio Davis was one of the best ever players guarding shaq.
Dale Davis and Antonio Davis
But are they as underrated as you?
Good question.
@@WilsonSy prob not, same for us being underrated tho
Mr. Wil Sy Underrated young Dean of Baskerball NBA. Love All
For the Philadelphia 76ers I think Andrew Toney is the most underrated
The celtics killer. Michael cooper said he was the most unguardable player
Thanks for giving my man Terry Porter some props.
Dale Davis was very solid. All-star year, pacers in the finals. Best rebounder in a below average rebounding team. B+ defense as well.
Never knew it was Jeff Malone who it that crazy 3 (last clip)
Great video! You should have included KJ though.
Great video! Good to see Otis Thorpe on here.
I think it should be Bobby Jones for Philly
George McGinnis and Doug Collins also have a case too.
As much as i love Terry Porter, for Portland I'd have to put Jim Paxson, who's tenure in Portland has been largely forgotten.
Nice list, thanks.
Great video today keep it up your doing amazing job
facts, we got similar videos my man with a lot more coming, we'd love your support even if all you do is look at the channel it'd be appreciated boss!
R.i.p DJ ..AND thats coming from a laker fan
Hey Wilson, where do you rank Nate Thurmond as an all time defender? Great video, it’s good to see these players being appreciated.
Definitely a top 8-10
@@tj5180Very underrated defender
You forgot Bill "Darth Vader" Laimbeer. He may be the most hated player in the NBA ('till Queen James showed up) but the Pistons won't win without him. Laimbeer gets under the opponent's skin & messes with their head, thus disrupting their offense.
I feel he isn't underrated though everyone knows about him
@@inthepaint2907 he is underrated because people think he was just a dirty player. And don't realize that he was a great player deserving of hall of fame.
How good was Terry Porter I remember him at the blazers and my Miami Heat
Very good
I'm gonna say Brad Daugherty for the Cavs. He was an absolute beast and I feel like hardly anyone knows who he is or remembers him. 19.0 and 9.5 career... if it weren't for a busted back he might have been one of the best bigs to ever do it. His last seasons ( ages 25-28 ) he averaged 20 and 10.5 and 1 block a game. He was just hitting his prime as well as playing with a high level PG in Price. His career could've been HOF for sure.
Mo Cheeks, Lanier, Dan IsselMaurice Lucas, Sweetwater Clifton, Gus Johnson (top 50), Satch Sanders , Richie Gueren
Most underrated CZcams Wilson Sy
Brooklyn/New Jersey Nets should be Drazen Petrovic. I rarely hear people mention his name which is a real shame.
Nailed it with Vinnie " the microwave" Johnson. Baaaaad boyyyysss
Lol he was a role player and isn’t underrated
Pau gasol for the lakers, very underrated
U didn’t Mention Tyson Chandler anchoring the Defence of Dirk & Dallas’ ONLY Championship Run in 2011…
I feel like Horace Grant was also extremely underrated during his days in Chicago. It was always Scottie and MJ, with no mention of Horace Grant having a great defensive presence and goo scoring ability.
Golden State's most underrated player will be Iggy
@@chriswolf1089 how Tf is he Overrated . People barely talk about him
@@inthepaint2907 bro, why are you getting a lot of subs even though you said Lebron's the Goat which is BS because MJ is.
A man who has never heard of Nate Thurmond
King Dino Dragonite the got race between lebron and jordan is subjective, for success it’s jordan, for everything else it’s lebron. so you can easily say either is the goat
The guy that won Finals MVP is most underrated. Not true. I'd say someone like Monta Ellis is way more underrated and was a better player (offensively) than him.
Great list
As a wizards fan I need 1 of those old jerseys!
So many teams have American colors but like the bills all white jerseys in the NFL, theirs take the cake
Atlanta: Lou Hudson
Detroit: Dave Bing
Houston: Calvin Murphy
Miami: Glen Rice
Boston: Frank Ramsey
Knicks: Benard King
Seattle: Jack Sikma
76ers Hal Greer
Suns: Connie Hawkins
Portland: Maurice Lucas
Sac: Jerry Lucas
Utah: Adrian Dantley
Wizards: Earl Monroe
Wizards has to be Gilbert arenas
@@tonyd723 he's recognized a lot by fans but his career is a what If. If it wasn't for his injuries but antawn Jamison was underrated on the wizards
Big Nate & AL From early Warriors dayz
Fun fact: alot of players modeled their game after David Thompson. People gonna say, "wow I hate people who just steal players moves" and to that, you just admitted that you hate Michael Jordan who modeled his game after David Thompson 🐐
Alvin Robertson for the Spurs
Please make a video regarding the top 20 greatest players in the NBA history.
Shoutout also I'm a solid fan from the Philippines
BTW: I notice that most of the underrated players are defensive (such as Celtics' DJ, or Warriors' "Nate the Great", Bucks' Sidney Moncrief), or 6th Men as Pistons' VJ........that makes a sense
good selections
I agree with almost all of these. No fun, mate! Great list though 👍
Might have said these ones though...
Nets - Buck Williams
Hornets - Dell Curry
Magic - Nick Anderson (remembered for the wrong reasons). Dennis Scott a good call though.
Nuggets - Alex English (most points in the 80s. Of anyone.)
Blazers - Cannot argue with Porter, but could just as easily put Cliff Robinson, Buck Williams or Jerome Kersey.
Kings - Wayman Tisdale
Spurs - Terry Cummings. Maybe Avery Johnson. Cannot really argue with Sean Elliott though.
100% agree with the Alex English pick for nuggets, great insight my man, would love to see more input like yours on our channel
InThePaint Cheers mate, and no problem. I’ll check it out.
paksta thanks bro
Alex English is the greatest Denver Nugget imo so no
@@trollsworstnightmare3769 fair enough, who ya got then... Issel? Would you take Mahmoud?
Artis Gilmore was a star, basically a superstar for the bulls, so I don't really understand why he would be considered for this list, considering most of the other players you mentioned were top notch players who were barely allstars on their teams..
Here in the 2 second mark to make some guesses. I’m going to say the Warriors is Nate Thurmond, the Wizards is Elvin Hayes, the Bulls is Artis Gilmore, the Lakers is AC Green. That’s all that comes to mind at the moment
Here after the video. Thought of a couple during the video but I didn’t do too bad
I agree with Mookie Blayblock for the Hawks
I would go with Joe Joe White for the Celtics
Kerry Kittles for the Nets
Mugsy Bouges for Hornets
Toni Kukoc for the Bulls
I agree with Price for the Cavs
This video is really good
agreed, we got similar videos my man, would love your support even if all you did was give us a look
@@inthepaint2907 haha I watched your yao ming video and I thought it was very good lol
Im happy you said udonis for miami
Is DJ still underrated with Bird calling him the best teammate he’s ever had?
Should be Tiny Archibald tbh.
Bird said that back in the 80's, yet they couldn't put him in the hall of fame until affer he passed in 2007, so yea, D.J is still underrated 🏀🏀
@@kingad8869 Bird said D.J was better than Tiny in an interview with Chick Hearn, but that was an older Tiny, so idk..
then its greg kite.
that last one i neva even heard of tbh
Can you make a video about the bulls future?
I would have gone with grant for the bulls. He did SO much for that team. Because of rodman later, grant is forgotten. But look at years without Jordan. 54 wins with him, 50% team without him. Did like the older generation reference though. Love the goodridge pick.
Respect to Grant of course, but I honestly would have went with either Bob Love or Jerry Sloan.
Sam Cassell belongs on lists like this. I'd put him up against many an HOFer.
I heard of and remembered all them
Nice list
agreed, we might have to do something like this now
Shawn Marion & Terry Porter were your best picks.
Mookie -> Amazing pick. I think for 90s Mookie were a better defender than Gary. Cuz Gary's defense were a bit sloppy its all over the place it's annoying but bearable. On the other thand for Mookie his like a precise sniper at defensive end imo
DJ -> Great choice but imo the most underrated Celtics player Tommy Heinsohn
For NETS -> Micheal Ray Richardson is the most underrated.
Hornets -> Wesley underrated criminaly for sure. But I think Antony Mason is the most underrated
Bulls -> Liked ur pick. Gilmore is great pick. If I had to pick another It would be Luol Deng or Krik Hinrich
Dallas -> Rolando is forgotten and that's a crime but even tho he played 3,5 year as Maverick I think Jamal Mashburn is the most underrated. We can make a case for Mashburn's Hornets years too
Nuggets -> Nice Pick but Thompson earased himself from the game cuz of his addiction problems. That's why my pick is Marcus Camby
Pistons -> Vinne The Microwave is a nice pick but I would've pick Lindsey Hunter
Thurmond -> One of the most underrated Centers ever.
Rockets -> Thorpe is a nice pick. But I think people really underrates Sir Charles's Rockets years. Ralph Sampson and Vernon Maxwell are also fine cases for that
Pacers -> I think it's a poor pick cuz Davis were a solid role player there aint nothing to rate him "higher than he is" . I think Detlef Shrempfg and Jamal Tinsley are better cases. But Mark Jackson and Derrick McKEy maybe even better compare to Dale.
Clippers -> Clippers full of these; Odom, Brand, Ron Harper, Loy Vaught, Danny Manning lots of and lots of underrated talents. I'm ok with Harper.
Lakers -> Goodrich is a great pick. If I have to choose someone different that would be Lamar Odom. People really overlook his contribution of late 2000s Lakers in Triangle Offense.
Memphis -> Miller aint able to play properly due to season killing injuries. So its kinda natural to overlook him (like David Thompson's case) cuz of that imo most underrated Memphis players are Zach Randolph and Mike Conley.
Heat -> Haslem ?Seriously ? Haslem is one of the most respected and the most protected players in Heat's franchise history. Compare to his game ? That's too much. He aint underrated at all. Glen Rice, Ron Seikaly, Jamal Mashburn (yes again), 2006-2008 Alonzo Mourning, Voshon Lenard are better choices Also Jason Williams's Heat seasons are super underrated. Cuz Payton didnt get along with Wade and he had lots of injuries. Williams played more than Payton for the team. And it was his most efficient years.
Bucks -> Moncrief great pick.
Timberwolves -> Brandon is generally one of the most underrated guards of late 90s and early 2000s. Good pick. If I have to chose another one Tom Gugliotta and Sam Mitchell
New Orleans Hornets/Pelicans -> Chandler Nice Pick
NYK -> Anthony Mason. I think Anthony Mason's best years happened in Charloote Hornets cuz of that you would've picked him there. Earl Monroe could be the best pick for NYK
Supersonics/Thunder -> Schrempf goof pick.
Orlando -> It's either Darrel Armstrong or Hedo Turkoglu. Not even clsoe. Dennis Scott not a good choice imo.
Sixers -> This team has sooo much talent thru it's history its hard to definre the most underrated one. Cunningham sounds OK. But due to what he accomplished I think Moses Malone still the most underrated superstar center of all time.
Suns -> Marion is a great pick. Actually Marion were underrated at everywhere he go. We can make a case for his Dallas years too, he was that good. If I had to chose one other that would be Kevin Johnson. People think Payton is tne 2nd best 90s PG and Tim Hardaway is the 3rd best 90s PG.
Well Kevin Johnson were better than both and only second to Stockton actually.
Portland -> Portland's history full with talent packed rosters/teams. Late 70s around Bill Walton and Lucas. Late 80s early 90s around Drexler. Late 90s and Early 2000s around Wallace
Mid 00s around Randolph then late 2000s aroujnd Brandon Roy.
And all of these teams were full with talent. Portland always the team that never had a Big 3 but always had too many talented players. Cuz of that there are lots and lots of underrated players.
Porter is a good pick but it could've been Zach Randolph, It could've been Stoudmire or Sabonis, It could've been Jerome Kersey or Cliff Robinson or it would've been JJ Hİckson I mean soooo many.
Kings -> Stojakovic is good pick. Mitch Richmond can be named too
Spurs -> Sean Elliot greaaat pick.
Raptors -> Davis is a fine pick but I would've go with Jose Calderon
Jazz -> Kirilenko is a great pick but imo players like Adrien Dantley, Mehmet Okur, Jeff Hornacek are even more underrated imo.
Wizards/Bullets -> Jeff Malone is a fine pick and definitely underrated but imo compare to what he accomplished I think Elvin Hayes gets so little recognition. Also MJ's wizards years are criminally underrated.
So many guys u mentioned lol. Jeff hornacek gets disrespected by people especially Bron fans who call him a plumber and a bum. He was a all star and was a great 3pt shooter, won the 3pt contest 2 times while going against reggie Miller glen rice and dirk. As a raptors fan Jose was underrated and was efficient even had the best free throw percentage in the league.
For the pelicans I would go with david west as well.
How did u forget PJ brown on the heat ?
Jordan only played 2 seasons with the wizards. I think the most underrated was elvin hayes or antawn Jamison
Chris Jackson aka Mahmoud Abdul Rauf for the Nuggets.
Dennis Johnson is in the Hall Of Fame.
There are so many underrated players in the NBA, and Klay Thompson is one of those player's. That's just one of those player's just ✔️ check out the NBA as far back as you can go. Without Klay Thompson there's no Steph, Green, just a few of those guys. Klay Thompson, and Steph should have more MVP awards than LBJ, Durant,jokic. Why are people hating on Klay Thompson I don't understand. Klay Thompson keep doing what you do because for all the haters will regret it when you get more ring's than anyone of those hater's. Wiggins, Poole, wiseman and those other players if you stay together to guys will end up with more 💍 ring's than you could have ever imagined. You all may be second behind Bill Russell. Do not worry about the money 💰 it will work in you all favor. It worked out for Bill Russell.
For the Lakers I would point Derek Fisher. I'm glad that Sean Elliot has been mentioned. Forgotten All-Star player.
Elliott was unfortunately injured alot, and never really hit his potential. But was a solid player for a few years.
Marques Johnson with the Bucks
I shoot like Shawn Marion lol😂
i second marion and kirilinko picks
How you gonna say "underrated" and "Hall of Fame" in the same sentenced? A hall of famer, by definition, is rated as a greatest ever.
bc they r rated by two different groups, they underrated as the average fan
He meant underrated in a way no no one mentions or recognizes them as much as other greats
@@laupis2559 you are correct. But time dulls all accomplishment. Well, most. We have in place things that record greatness. One of those things being ther halls of fame. Even if few people know of him, they still know what hall of fame means. In another couple generations, no one is really going to know the Beatles. But they'll know hall of fame means one of the greatest ever.
Underrated coz they don't get enough recognition than they should get..
Agreed! Some to most these players shouldn’t be on here
I got John drew as the most underrated player if all time
Id say sam cassell or latrell sprewell are the most underrated timberwolves
adrian dantley and sidney moncrief
Drazen for nets bro
Brook became a Stretch 5 in Milwaukee
No
@@octopus8420 yes he did. Lopez had to change his game when he signed with the bucks cuz the game was changing. When he was on the nets. He was more of a post up player
Someone else should have represented the Cavs and Celtics. Like Gerald Henderson and Brad Daugherty
Dude the quadruple double that Nate Thurmond had. How did you not mention that wow
facts
Yeah Nate the Great Thurmond
Nate Thurmond has a quadruple double too
Blaylock is famous for looking like MJ. Detroit’s should be Tayshaun Prince, still left alone at All-Star voting.
For real, Tayshaun is the man
Phx most under rated I think tom chambers
@ 3:36 MJ Gets Crossed
Idk about the Warriors one, they won the championship the year AFTER trading away Nate Thurmond
Wasn't the best video, I could list guys more underrated and better than some of these other players. Might do a video about this.
When I get I steal playing ball I say mooked or mookie bc of mookie blaylock he had good defense
hahah nice
Michael Ray Richardson should have been the most underrated for the Knicks
I agree, love your insight my man, would even like to see more of it on our channel
Bernard king. Rarely mentioned if it wasn't for injuries or off court issues. No doubt he would've been one of the best scorers in the league.
Ak47 was a beast
BEN WALLACE is the most underrated Piston
For Chicago I’d go Kirk Hinrich.
Pacers should be Danny granger 💯
76ers should be Andre iguodala 💯
Sacramento kings should have been Bobby Jackson or Doug Christie
Dennis Johnson is underrated.
100%
