In the latest clip, Rafer Alston described playing against Kobe Bryant and Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals. Alston recalled Kobe playing "phenomenal" in the series and being determined to capture his first NBA title without Shaq. He talked about the reaction of his friends and family after recording a 20-point in Game 3, which ended up being the Orlando Magic's only win in the series. Alston also cosigned coach Stan Van Gundy's decision to shrink his minutes once Jameer Nelson returned from injury. - Zábava
Rafers run with Orlando was the most successful, they reached the finals and if you remember Rafer was starter as Jameer Nelson got injured in the finals. Rafer actually filled in better as starting PG and helped Orlando win their first ever finals game.
Skip wasn't his backup. Orlando traded for him after Nelson got hurt
Revisionist history. That's NOT what happened lmao you clearly wasn't there.
His wisdom is out of this world.
Sleep well Kobe Bryant ‼️🙏🏼😢💜💛
Happy birthday King ‼️💯
Been loving this interview, I used to love And1
And 1 was the shit I used to have all the mixtapes
Facts, bro! I still got all the Mixtape Tour jerseys
Kids won’t understand not being able to just click on CZcams and find whatever! We had to catch it on espn2 or spike tv
And 1 is making a return
All the heights he said was wrong....
And 1 mixtape vol 3 is a timeless classic!
Do you know how much class that takes…in any era? I was a fan when he was with the Rockets, but he just kinda sealed that up…much respect!
Gotta respect the legend!!skip to my lou 💯
“It’s FCKN TREEEE-WAYYYYY!” (I know I’m not the only one who think he looks like Shotti) 🤣
Totally!!!
Nah nah nah shotti look like him bro
Kids these days will never about those And1 mixtapes from volume 1 all the way to the end💯 R.I.P. Black Widow aka Alamo
Solid interview RA! Definitely a team player not a me guy. Respect 💯
Bro listening to Rafer's perspective on things is inspiring. No wonder he went that far in his career. Props.❤
Courtney Lee literally blew that wide open lapup
I remember watching this series. I was a freshman in HS.. I think Alston being modest honestly. Anybody remember that series knows his minutes shouldn't have been cut.
U was getting cooked in high school
Magic’s fucked up bringing Jameer back in ...skip had the flow
Exactly
@@HeBlewInHisEarAndHeLikedit that was supposed to be bron vs Kobe that year smh
@@norf2153 fk lebum
IT DIDNT MATTER WHO PLAYED. KOBE WASNT LOSIN
@@cj10211982 Kobe could be beat in the finals bro 🤣
That Orlando squad was full of sharp shooters, kinda underrated.
Notice he said “all star point guard.” That’s something ppl forget when they casually brush past Kobe’s 2009-2010 championships. The Magic had 3 all stars that year including the DPOY.
Still nothing impressive
@@b.romero6846u cant do it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@b.romero6846 more impressive than ANYTHING Lebron has EVER done. You ain't slick.
That miss by Courtney Lee at the buzzer changed the whole series. As a Laker fan, I was scared then relieved.
Exactly
He has a great heart..
My man Derek Fisher sure wishes he was 6’3 😂😂
I was like wtf 🤣. And Kobe ain’t 6’7”
In Shoes
Yea fisher 6'1
Exactly
He was off on his numbers a bit
Skip is a good hearted dude
Stick with working chemistry. The finals ain't the place to find ur rhythm. Find it in the following pre season.
Aint like Jameer a hall of famer.
Facts I remember that series like it was yesterday
@Your Father99 nah you’re wrong even a blind man could see that Van Gundy should have rode with Skip..
@Your Father99 Snoop gotta burner account... Nephew 🤣
Til this day that's where they went wrong. Jameer wasn't really ready and messed up chemistry
Vlad be blowing me with these titles. Just say he had 20 points in an NBA final games. He didn't drop 20 on Kobe like.... Come on bruh. Kobe passed and this a clout chasing ass title. Smh. Dude dont even mind using our dead role models to get some clicks. Really foul.
Good to see you doing well Skip!
I wish they would bring and1 back I had the video game my dude made every tour when I played
In 34 and I still do the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 countdown shots in the gym.🤣
Skip, Alimoe, Headache,AO,Main Event
The Original Fantastic 5
Half man?
@@peezy4178 my apologies sir.
Future?
@@juansagredo580 I was gonna say future but I don't remember him in all the mixtapes like the rest. I remember playing with him in street hoops but he's definitely a Playground Legend. You can go ahead and throw in Shane.
@@sleezzzyp he played in the volumes 1-7
Rafer Alston is shotti good twin 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m dead 😂😂😂
SALUTE Rafer Alston ✌🏾✌🏻💓💯
Putting Jameer Nelson in the game took the momentum away from the Magic, the whole game changed.
When they started to play jameer Nelson when he wasn't ready after his injury and took away his minutes is one of the reasons why the Orlando lost at the Lakers, really talk 💯. Everybody workd the Lakers at the guard position and those days
But let's be honest, magic was not gonna beat those Lakers, it just wasn't in the cards, I do Agree with your statement but overall would have won no matter what...those Lakers were more hungry than the magic for that chip
Rafer a good dude 💯💯💯
basketball rhythm is errthing! try to get that feeling again🥺
that missed courtney lee layup took the wind right out of me during that series. i wanted skip to get a W so bad. he hooped his ass off the whole playoffs.
That’s a whole fact. I didn’t give a fuck about Kobe or Howard. I wanted that shit for skip.
@@RyanSantos-ol9lr you may be the only person in the world to say that 😂
@@Lamborghinikid23 naw he speaking straight facts by then Kobe was Kobe 🏆 we wanted skip to win that shit
Fuck skip we wanted Kobe to win fuck is you talking about
@@TheBigbaddodooDaddy24 who is we. fuck you talking about
And1 mixtapes were constant rewind in my VCR
I remember that game because nobody thought jameer was going to play but looking back, in hindsight I would’ve played skip more because he was in rhythm and jameer hadn’t played in so long
1:25 This would’ve been a good time Vlad to interrupt like usual and say Happy Birthday too 😒
The guy is a walking basketball legend
A Real 1
I went to Game 1 of that series
Rafer was a hooper
Shottie's good twin 😂
PROPS TO SKIP wishing the great KOBE BRYANT on his birthday.
And also holding down VAN GUNDY for his decision. Even if SKIP plays the majority of the mins, LAKERS winning.
Can’t believe he didn’t mention the tallest player we (Lakers had) Andrew Bynum 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Bynum was good until he got injured
20 points on Derek fisher you mean.
No, Kobe Bryant.
Other than Shotti, he look like CJ from San Andreas too.
Stan Van is a Micro Manager
Winner mentality there
As I get older I realize teams do not really want to win
They want to win *their* way.
Smh I swear y'all just say shit without thinking
wym?
Rafer look like he can make a mean 🌭 and 🍔 LOL 😁
Lmao Tru!
On point
Corny
@@Moneyg73 why is you telling me your government name over the internet 👀🤔 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
@@BatmanPops yeah that's my government name. You tried. 🤣
Til this day idk why Stan took Rafer out for Jameer I understand he was the starting guard but Skip carried us to the finals then you just take that man out smfh
When they chose to put jamir Nelson ass back into the starting line up that's what ruined the Magic's chances
the next year Orlando was strong too
Alston was a legit NBA point guard. His FG% was suboptimal but homeboy will give you buckets.
Its alot of point guards that was like that
If u didn't kno dude u would never guess he played ina NBA
he messed up the Chemistry when they forced Nelson back
It wasn’t on Kobe!!!!! It was on the Lakers!!! Kobe wasn’t guarding him!!! SMDH
Howard eventually won and might win again this year.
It’s not the same
The only reason Howard even made the finals with Orlando was because Garnett was injured with the Celtics. Howard lucky to ride coattails to a championship.
@@barrettlovett2238 ummm I wouldn't go so far to say that. The Orlando magic went to back to back Eastern conference championships. The year they beat Boston (2008-2009 in the semi finals), they STILL had to go through LeBron in the conference finals.
The next season, 2009-2010, they LOST to Boston in the conference finals.
This was during Dwight's prime. He finished 2nd in MVP voting TWICE from 2009-2011 and won 3 straight defensive player of the year awards. He definitely wasn't riding anyone's coattails, then.
@@davidleonard7439 you just proved my point, they lost in the conference finals '10 to a healthy boston who were a 4 seed behind the hawks. His only 💍 is with Lebron, "coattails".
@@barrettlovett2238 the Celtics had 3 superstars AND rondo..what did Dwight have? 🤔 AND he's a big man, at that....its not like the Lakers and Kobe when he won back to back basically by himself. He's a ball dominat guard. Howard had nothing
Earl Sweatshirt cleaned up, salute to the OG.
Lol I always thought Derek fisher was small. But he was just short compared to the mob squad the lakers had at the time.
I remember Ariza had stupid long arms.
He got the height wrong fusher only 6 feet 1 tops kobe 6 feet 4 and a half
@@bronxbully6261 kobe is 6'6 everyone knows that stop it (he probably 6'7 with shoes on)
20 points bro
Joe hammond next would be cool
That change up messed y’all up tho … Nelson shoulda came off the bench
He could make a good jr high school coach
He an NBA scout now.
He's getting into NBA coaching.
The Timberwolves I think , don't quote me on the team...
But he's a scout
Rafer was Killin in the series....but them starting Nelson over him was their downfall
game 1 2-9 fg 6 points
game 2 1-9 fg 4 points
game 3 8-12 fg 20 points
game 4 5-13 fg 13 points
game 5 5-15 fg 15 points
relax man ..he had one good game.
Derrick Fisher was 6'1 not 6'3
rafer alston comebto philippines we want you as import if you dont mind
Andrew Buyum lock Dwight Howard up in that finals.
Lmaooooo. You clearly didn't watch that series
I'm a Lakers fan and I even know that's bogus...bynum did not lock Dwight up at all..
@@hybrid1339 Ya he did Howard had horrible Finals. That how Byunm got that sweet contract.
@@calvinrogers2714 Yes I did what did Howard do.
@@erickennedy8534 bynum never got that contract til like 2011 or 2012
Trying to figure out who lies more Gianni Russo, John Salley or Skip
Nothing but LOVE AND RESPECT for Rafer , And j nelson , but FUCK THAT ...THEY SHOULD OF KEPT U STARTING bro REAL TALK I remember that NBA FINALS .,SKIP was doing his THING I WAS SO HAPPY FOR HIM MAN , HE WAS KILLING SHIT...and when they took him out and put jamerr back shit went left....one THING ABOUT RAFER ALSTON no MATTER TEAM HE PLAYED FOR HE ALWAYS REPRESENTED AND DID HIS THING...IMA PROUD FAN... RT SALUE KING BE BLESSED
Huge of Raefer to say those things, but it was a huge mistake, period. I was so upset, and I wasn't even a Magic fan.
Bad Coaching Blew Orlando When It Counted The Most
Game 3, Rafer sat down and Skip showed up. Magic messed up starting Nelson.
how showed up in game 1 and 2?
game 1 2-9 fg 6 points
game 2 1-9 fg 4 points
game 3 8-12 fg 20 points
game 4 5-13 fg 13 points
game 5 5-15 fg 15 points
relax he had on good game
21-58 thats 36% from the field...not good
@@elipav484 lmao..reading is fundamental. Enjoy your day🤣✌️
No I am not hearing that I heard that it was Dwight Howard and his Teammates that asked him to be more Skip2MyLou in the game he won you can correct me if I am wrong but that was what I heard at the time when that game was over. You can play nice all you want now but that move to bring Jameer back in the game when he just came back from an injury is insane. You can go look at the game Jameer wasn’t even himself he couldn’t even guard anyone plus on the offensive side he did nothing. From my eye when I saw that game and Rafer was on the bench he didn’t look too happy in my opinion you go look up the game and watch his body language he ain’t happy. I don’t hate Jameer but he was a liability when he came back he should have come of the bench for the series when coming back from the injury he had.
Kobe was on some really good teams not knocking his greatness but he had a lot of help and decoys
Not as much help as Lebron has had.
That’s every great player that ever won a championship
@@robertofranciscor.beltran5588 Lebron hasn’t had as much help as u think his first 8 seasons he had no help and still went to the finals and by the time he got help those players were past there prime except Kyrie and AD
that's every player ever
@@marcusreed5862 every player ever had a lot of help?
close your eyes and you will think cashnasty is talking
HOW IS SKIP NOT IN THE BIG 3 LEAGUE!?!?
He's an NBA scout, he's getting into coaching.
But you're absolutely right
The Big3 was made for players like Skip
Lmao I knew Lakers were gonna win but I DID want Skip 2 go off the whole series and be more respected in the league.
Skip bugging...he was hooping, that j. Nelson adjustment threw of the whole team rhythm.
game 1 2-9 fg 6 points
game 2 1-9 fg 4 points
game 3 8-12 fg 20 points
game 4 5-13 fg 13 points
game 5 5-15 fg 15 points
he had one good game...relax
@@elipav484 I'm speaking in regards to team chemistry. It was off when Nelson came back, but my opinion.
@@coachsteelefinance rafer stunk it up for the first 2 games..i mean bad...he had one good game in game 3. so they are down 1-2 with him starting...... you really not going to give jameer nelson a shot in game 4 and depend on rafer???? come on .... rafer started the other games too....he didnt do good...
@@elipav484 what was Nelson's stats?
NBA STREET lol
Derick fisher is not 6’3….
Dey should’ve put his minutes down
Watch the full interview now as a VladTV CZcams Member: czcams.com/channels/g7lal8IC-xPyKfgH4rdUcA.htmljoin
Fisher ain’t no damn 6’3 🤣🤣🤣
Andrew Bynum played center
I’m a magic fan putting Jamier back in game killed magic
Kobe really was 6'6 ....6'7 Afro Kobe lol yea but Cleveland would have been in that Finals against LAL if not for LeBron tearing his Hamstring early in the series against Orlando but he went on to average 38/8/8/1/1 on 49% and the entire 6 game series was decided by 37 points so if not for that injury on Bron,we see Kobe vs Bron Finals with Kobe beating King in 6 games due to James' lack of decent teammates compared to Kobe's supporting cast
Skip to my Lou, respect sir. Very humble dude.
SVG definitely fucked them by trying to insert Nelson. Doubt they would have won, but it would have been 4-2 or even 4-3 if they stayed with the lineup that got them there. Dude was out way too long to seriously consider giving him minutes
Why jameer ?
😒Skip, stop the 🧢..u were supposed 2 play more, not saying y'all wud've won, but I say it wud've went to 7 games...Jameer comin bak fukt up the flow! Carfax!
Never heard vlad so quite
That's a stupid question, how it was like to get there and not win it. Just ask how it was like to get there.
Jameer had back 2 back TO’s…SMH
Vlad is the POLICE!!!👮♂️
Last time I saw skip he was looking really sick. Did he have kidney issues? He looks great now.
Vlad don’t know shit Jameer was the starter got injured and rafer filled in
His research team must've messed that up
Me Rafer and his brother Ramar went to school together. I remember when we met, I had no idea that this skinny kid who was an inch shorter than me at 15 was one of the greatest basketball players in the world. 💪🏾🏀❤️
*6'6
Lebron lucky he didn’t lose 0-4 that year lol if he made the finals… but honestly looking back at that finals I think they all knew deep down that they had no chance of winning especially after Lee missed that layup! So it was only right that everyone got to experience playing in the finals!
Why do people say "called my phone" instead of "called me" I mean they callin to talk to u not ur fone ni99a!!
