The best line about ball I ever heard was from Scal... "Im closer to LeBron than you are to me."
I mean it’s 100% facts
I heard somebody ROAST Scal by adding "but only just..." which is as far as you can go with it, even in joke form😅
He's 1000% right for everybody who isn't at least a College Star Player active at the time
Scalabrine still trash. Kwame Brown is closer to some great basketball player too cuz he played over 10 years but he still trash. I'm always laughing at people acting like that was some kind of philosophical thing for Scalabrine to say at the end of the day there's always big tall guys who sit on the bench a lot because they're big and tall it's always went on in the NBA and it's not going to stop.
@@ramsesstafford4640 Trash in NBA terms, sure, but an entirely new level of legend as soon as he steps on YOUR homecourt for example. I don't mean Scal coming to your hometown, I mean a guy with his skillset but NO name would be considered the local GOAT!
There's thousands of healthy 7 footers reaching NBA age each year and about 7 of them make the NBA. It's not just size, sorry. It's not JUST pro Basketball, you'd be right if we were talking some lower league somewhere but this is the Champions League of Basketball and nobody is trash there.
It's not something philosophical, it's just something easy to memorize and grasp but still SO hard to admit for many amateurs.
@@YeeSoest yet my point is still being made. Nobody Spud Webb, Earl Boykins or Nate Robinson's height stays in the NBA for 10 years that don't ever really play yet there's always somebody 6'10" and taller riding pine I never said they don't have a skill set. Regards on what you think you're just proving my point. 🤣
I saw Jordan's final years and LeBron's entire career. I witnessed Linsanity and caught myself wondering if Jason Williams could do a chest pass.
But Andre Ingram... for some reason I saw that game live on TV and it was pure magic and heart and tears and goosebumps😊
That man had one shot...one opportunity...to seize everything he ever wanted...one moment...and dangit, he caught it😅
Mom's spaghetti
Well put! I remember when Andre suited up that night I happened to be watching on tv. Legit.
what ever happened to Andre Ingram I never heard of him after that season
@@77Parker77 took an arrow to the knee
@@YeeSoest deadass??? wtf that’s some tragic shit
i appreciate the story of ish and jeff, they deserve everything, great video
Missing Unc!
Those players in Scallenge arent average Joes tho, they were D1 players and overseas pro, and the other one is your local YMCA league MVP.
lets not forgest this was all post retirement
😂 I was born 6 days after A.C. Green's streak of never missing a game began and when it ended, I had kissed a girl, bought a Computer and seen 12 other Countries😂
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Great work, I hope you keep on winning!
He didn't even kiss a girl during that time...
one of the most well made videos i've seen in long time, keep it up !
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed
@@analyticswithchris😊😊😊
Maybe another video with Javale Mcgee. Great work, subbed @@analyticswithchris
Subscribed, such a well done video
I remember watching Jeff Green in George Town, though he was gonna be a superstar.
Playing every single game straight from 1986 to 2001 is absolutely mental. What an achievement.
AC Green isn't "never talked about." He's brought up from time to time. Especially by real hoopers.
Thank you. AC was an important player during the Showtime Lakers. Kareem, Magic, James, AC…
What a guy man
AC Green consecutive games streak is like complete game record in baseball will simply NEVER be broken
Green and ish got they rings
Yerg
Goats
Green and ish rings > KD rings
@@fluvv9642 no cap they earned them nuggets miss them right now
Cmon, goat video!
Great video buddy
And subbed
Great idea for a video, really interesting. I've always been really interested in the role players, the undrafted guys, the underdogs, the persistent workers even in the face of adversity. Just as much or more so as the superstars.
This was a phenomenal video. Thanks for giving props to the unsung warriors of the league, and for putting into perspective how special these athletes all are. If anything, I think the league is only getting more talented and physical year by year, making all the points that you've made in this video more and more accurate. Keep up the great work and I'll keep watching.
This video deserves a lot more views
Absolutely stellar video highlighting these underappreciated players.
Really well made video, got me hooked from beginning to end
Thank you!
@@analyticswithchriscan I trouble you for the song at the end of the video?
Just found your channel and have watched a few videos. Love what you’re doing, man! Great work
Thank you so much!
Great video, these players really should be talked about more, they have amazing stories!
As a big celtics fan that I am.
I can't tell you the last time I enjoyed listening to play-by-play Like I do today,
When I listen to Scalabriny. Dude is really good and with Mike Gorman makes a tandem to be Reckoned with. Celtics🏆year
Thank you these journey men deserve recognition. Respect!
This was a very well made, very informative, and very engaging video! Glad I stumbled upon it!
This is so well done! 👏🏾
This was a beautiful video man 👍🏿👍🏿
Great documentary man!
W captivating intro mane 🙌🏿
I subbed offa that alone
Great Freakin Vid ..
Respect to all those who dare to be great.
This reminded me of a lot of players I haven't thought about in forever and learned some new interesting stories, this was a great video
Thank you!
Jameson Curry was siiiick a.f. at OSU back in the day.. it's crazy he didn't make it.
Edit: this video is one of the best bball videos I've seen in quite some time, I might have a basketball jones again. Scal challenge, Ingram's night of shine, A.C. Green quietly holding the fort down, Thad's consistency and Ariza's roughness over the years, Jeff & Ish travels and them getting a ring. The 6 degrees of separation with Green is nuts.
You got a new subscriber in me!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed
_sooooo, I guess I’ll say something_
an interesting fact about AC’s streak… He began and ended his NBA career as a virgin bachelor. He was also known to abstain from smoking or drinking alcohol, even refusing to spray champagne for the cameras after winning championships. I think that him staying away from all those distractions helped him tremendously.
Jeff Green, Ish Smith, and DeAndre Jordan. LEGENDS
Bravo, amazing video.
Well deserved recognition to this players 👍
Fantastic video!
Great video. Subscribed.
Underated channel 🔥🔥
This was a great video
Hahahahaha!! I love how Scalabrine handled all of that. Also Scal had a decent NBA career, won a championship and had some notable moments in the league.
Great video, subscribing!
Beautiful video!
The game w linking Jeff greens team mates was awesome
Great video !
Andre Ingram's story is amazing. I wish he got a break sooner but his determination and ability is unreal. He seems like a wonderful person.
W and new sub
Good vid bro
Being from Portland I know who AC Green is and knew of his iron man career but I forgot how tremendously long it was. He is an outstanding person also.
A.C. Green was one of my favorite players when I was little. Not sure why, he just was. Had his cards too.
My friend used to always say people were sleeping on Thaddeus Young back in the day too.
Thought you gonna talk about NBA speedrunning with that intro music
Great video! 👍🏿
Thanks for watching
Awesome vid 👌👌👌
AC Green is a legendary figure. That stats insane
Ish and Jeff really are inspiring 🙂
Scal would be a very solid pro in today's NBA too. He can GUARD and shoot.
there's a clip I saw of him the other day saying when he was in Boston he would warm up every game by trying to keep Rondo in front of him while Rondo warmed up. He would never bump him or play super aggressive, but he knew if he could keep Rondo in front of him he could guard anyone in the league.
great video, those guys are the real men that the kids should look up to
This video is PURE GOLD--including the 223+ comments.
Thank you!
Nobody has more fire than Ariza. Dude will fight at the drop of a hat.
Damn this was one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. Keep up the great work.
That was a really good video 👌
Thanks!
Excellent video. You forgot the se one face of bums -Kwame Brown (with Scalibrini being the first)
Its not all about talent. Its also politics, marketability, connections, relationships, luck, opportunity... Etc. as with all walks of life, thats how it goes.
Keep it up
I played high school ball on a state tourney semifinalist team. I went to an NCAA tourney making university. We were playing pick up one night in the gym early on my freshman year, when I still thought I should think about going to walk on tryouts just to see. 4 guys from the team showed up, including one of the walk ons. The walk on, who was my height, didn't miss a shot from inside 28 feet in like 2 hours. None of the guys on that team, where he was a 12th man, ever made the NBA...I played in a few corporate leagues with some former D3 guys, those guys would smoke nearly any high school player.
I concur!
outstanding video, great subject and presentation !
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I liked when Ariza was on the team. Good dude.
that was a beautiful video :)
Thank you!
You got to Jeff Green and made it sound like he was soooooo old for having been drafted when the Supersonics were still a team. Kevin Durant was drafted for that team, LeBron James came into the league before that, Russel Westbrook was drafted the year they relocated to OKC... they are all still in the league. Duncan, Malone, Stockton, Jordan, Kidd, Nash, Nowitzki, Ginobili all played to 40. Vince Carter was 43!
A NBA bench warmer is still a phenomenal athlete and deserves respect.
Scalabrine...im calling you out ! 😡
I think it’s funny that we talk about Jeff Green being in the league for so long that he was drafted by the Sonics, but Kevin Durant is also still in the league
But this video is about underrated accomplishments, KD is a two time MVP.
@@ciN713 What does being a 2 time MVP have to do with being one of 2 players still in the league who wore the Sonics jersey
@@TheNutshaq The title of the video
@@ciN713 yes, him being good at basketball has nothing to do with the year or team he was drafted by
great video
Thanks!
Ugh someone started cutting onions at the end of this video!
Jeff Green also had more dunks in this compilation than Jokic in the rest of that Playoff run😅
This might be one of the best NBA videos I have ever seen. Thank you for making this ✌🏽
Anyone who talks trash on an NBA player ,or even a d-league player are in serious need of a reality check. There are something like 500-600 players in the NBA each year ,compare that to the population of the world and maybe gain some perspective on how good these dudes are. Apply that same perspective to every professional sport . But,that's not to say that there aren't people out there that circumstances didn't go the way they may need to go in order to make it to the pros. Like with the guys who don't even get a shot at playing time even after making it, that doesn't necessarily mean they don't possess the talent or potential to succeed
trevor ariza shoving trae on the nutmeg will always be the funniest shit ever 😭
Ish Smith raw.. I don't think he's been on a lot of teams because he can't ball ...I just think every team could use a guy like him.. Dude mid range is sleptnon
The intro music is telling me to watch Summoning Salt
Jeff and ish got a ring now thats soo heartwarming frfr
JamesOn Curry dominating D1 basketball had me 😂
Ingram got done dirty, other G league players with stats not even close to his have had call ups. He deserved more than a make a wish style redemption arc. He should've had a stronger legacy.
AC greens record will never be broken
Andre Ingram has a funny looking shot. That's almost certainly why it took so long for him to get into an NBA game. It's obviously effective, and it shouldn't matter if it doesn't look "right", but i bet it did matter to NBA execs. If he didn't work out they'd have to answer to someone saying "what did you expect, his shot is funny looking"
This is a weird Summoning Salt video but I like it. What video game is this?
The NBA is so subjective it comes down to someone’s opinion who plays or not
When you mentioned AC green I was wondering if Jeff green was his son because he’s one of the biggest journey men of our generation. Congrats to him, ish smith and Deandre Jordan all for finally getting a ring last year. And then all the credit goes to joker, a dude who doesn’t even like basketball and just wants to go home to his horses 😂
can really tell a true fan made this
Yeah, a true fan of speedrunning
Scal!!! If you’ve never been in the TD Garden when Scalabrine gets put in or even better when he hits a 3 , you haven’t experienced life.
He was also important on that Houston Rockets team that missed 27 strait 3s lol
Would love to see former perpetual Sixth Man of the Year, Brian Shaw, get some love
The people who don’t know these players are called - Golden State Warrior Fans.
Guess you thought there wouldn't be any crossover between NBA and speedrunning fans 😂 at least you backed up the opening music with a great video 😂
That Jake Layman holding up a 0 clip in the intro hurts my soul 😭💀 TERP LEGEND JAKE LAYMAN
I would say funding 100% of the WNBA for more than a quarter century certainly has to be the greatest, and most thankless accomplishment the NBA has ever been apart of.
keep crying
Great video. Is it me or is the voice over AI?
There's a dirty secret though, about both the NFL and NBA that a bunch of undrafted talents COULD be playing but just aren't. There is still an element of luck because of the sheer number of college football and basketball players and the relatively few spots available in the NFL and NBA.
Juwan Howard, Robert Horry honorable mentions
*singing* You got yourself a new suuuuuhuuub 😂
Because of this video, I subscribed and I don’t subscribe to much
It's actually insane to think that there hasn't even been a total of 5 thousand players that have played in the league up to now with how long the NBA has been around. The NBA and the NHL have to be THE 2 toughest leagues to break into. Only 5 players on the court/ice at 1 time (6 for hockey with their goalie). 15 players on an NBA roster during the regular season/21 in the offseason compared to a 53 man roster in the NFL, and they can carry up to 90 players during the offseason. So anybody that makes it to the NBA I give major props... bench warmer or not. We as average joes talking trash about ANY elite athlete while we sit at home on the couch just watching while they PLAY has always been hilarious to me. Any NBA bench warmer would wipe the gym floor with any one of us.
Jeff Green "one of the best in game dunkers" is a stretch
