Being considered a tweener back then was a career death sentence. He definitely should have came back for his senior year. Him and JR Rider would have made a nice backcourt.
It definitely was a death sentence being that 6'1" height without a jumpshot and no defense. Just being a penetraiting or slashing 2guard barely got alot 6'5 and up guards by back then.
Wow. This man meant alot to me! Him and Kenny Anderson were my favorite players back in the day. Luckily they both wore #12 so that became my number! I’ll always remember his 2 hand double pump dunk he used to do on the break.
That UNLV team was exciting I stayed up faithfully late nights to watch the Running Rebels.A Hunt was Nice I thought he would have a better pro career.
@DANTANA 773 I'm glad somebody else out there shares the same Magical feelings as myself when it comes to the Golden years of Runnin Rebel Basketball. If only there was a time machine to experience it all again.
@@chillywilliedfw9093 yes in college he was a walking bucket in the pros he had to wait his turn behind mark price and when price was gone T.B was hooping even made the all-star team
@@Dantana773 I remember Terrell Brandon was so nice. When was in Twolves still 1999-00. He had Chauncey Billups and Bobby Jackson as backups. They both got traded
A real teacher always knows what's best for his student. Which is why he is THE TEACHER! Urban Meyer said the same thing about Dwayne Haskins not being ready for the NFL when he left my Buckeyes to enter the draft. And look at him now. Take heed to the people that tell what you need to hear instead of what you want to hear.
You are the best, I needed to know what happend to one of my favorite players!! Got a chance to hoop with him and George Ackles up at UCLA back in 90. He was a beast!!
YOOO! Anderson Hunt My Dude! Yeaaaaa Mad Respect Due for this 1 right here mahn. 🙏 I remember hearing he tripped out , got pissed and left the rookies camp before the draft. Some ish they have or had where all the Classmen coming out of the draft , they all had to attend.
I know this Brother as well....Man if he was 6'3 and stayed that extra year....I played with him as well!!!He'd be top 10 in days NBA but in the 90s he was too small to play his natural position(2 Guard @6ft)...The Celtics gave him a Shot but H is not a PG pure scorer and a cool Brother🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
He was like a combination of a slightly shorter Monte Ellis and Eric Murdock in his prime. I thought he could have atleast been a 3rd or 4th guard off some teams bench considering their were expansion teams that were recently added to the League where he could have earned a spot for a few seasons back then
Those two are easy. Augmon was a tweener who couldn't shoot with range or finish on the break unless it was an open dunk (though they were usually spectacular). Anthony only made the league because he is hyper intelligent, nothing particularly special about his game other than his on court leadership. That's why at his peak he was the best backup PG in the league.
@@kevinwillette5161 Greg Anthony had a slow wind up set shot jumper that didn't turn any heads however he was a gritty defender for that era which was pretty much his calling card away from giving starters a breather with his steady pg play
@@carlwallace1129 true, he became an excellent defender under Pat Riley, 100% agree with that. I really liked him paired with Hubert Davis off the bench, and based on the minutes I probably liked them better than Riley 🤣 I thought he was at his best leading Portland's 2nd unit in 2000.
The world will never know just how much Anderson Hunt(UNLV Days)Means to me. It always puzzled me as to why he never played in the NBA. But now I know 😥
Oh wow JC I made comment before seeing video Go back to that podcast the clip is from Anderson Hunt Rebuttal that story Terrell Brandon said pre draft camp
@@stuntedgrowth I'm saying some players have great agents. Guys get training camp, team workouts, SummerLeague for 5 to 7 years guards don't make league
He has played in France, in Mulhouse city... Waouhhhh what a player, did best dunk I've ever seen, from downtown... 💪 Nice to see this video, love from France
I don’t know what position he would’ve played at the NBA level. He seemed like a tweener... a point guard body at 6’0” with a shooting guard’s game that needed to be played at 6’5”.
Greg Anthony was a 2 before he transferred to UNLV. There were definitely growing pains during Anthony's conversion process at UNLV. Hunt was just a good fit for the UNLV system and was a compliment to the skillset of his teammates. That does not mean an automatic translation to the NBA. If you could have combined Hunt's skills with former UNLV PG Mark Wade into one person, then you would be talking a legit NBA player.
Greg was fire at UNLV. Hey bro I could have went to Liberty U 89-90 but it was a new program and I didn't know where it was taking me to. So i declined.
I'm Vegas born and raised, I loved these teams. LJ was the man, but Hunt was dominant too, and was the best player in that championship win against Duke. He was energetic and athletic, and I started remembering him a few years ago when I began thinking about all of the guys on that team that made it. I never understood why he didn't make it, but this breaks it down good. I remember the pictures with the price fixed hurt us. However, I think him not being an assists guy hurt him, the NBA valued guys playing their positions. He was too small to be considered a good shooting guard, so he would have to be a ball handler and passer.
No disrespect but that is a stretch. I grew up in Las Vegas and watched 3 games from the 90/91 season in person and the rest on TV. Anderson really needed stay on his last year, and learn how to play PG. His game at the time wasn't NBA ready.
100% right. Good college player but not close to NBA ready. All the revisionism history is a joke. Again good college player but NOT an nba player at all. Mediocre handle and short=not a good Combination. His game didn’t translate much at all to the pros. Just stop everyone else with the historical revisionism.
Good story. During that 91 season just as the Fab 5 at Michigan was taking off, there were rumors that he would transfer back to his home state of Michigan to conclude his college career. I always wonder how that would've went down if it had actually happened. Being honest, he was somewhat ahead of his time, especially not being taller than what he really was. He probably could've gotten stronger physically
A few comments here. - The elephant in the room(The hot tub photo): That picture was taken in the fall of 1989. Scurry and Butler were already out of eligibility before the 1990-1991 season. Hunt led UNLV in scoring in the final 4 with 29 points both years. If you rewatch the 1991 UNLV- Duke rematch. Only Hunt and Anthony played well. If there was a fix on that game it involved the refs handing that game to Duke late with the bogus charge on Anthony and the invisible foul calls on Laettner. Hunt was cheapshotted by Bobby Hurley not once but twice. When LJ argued about the noncall he got the Technical. There is not a shred of proof Hunt ever shaved any points, and if I was him I would sue anyone who said so for slander. He also took some very hard hits that game and continued to play. Hunt had tryouts with the Bullets, Celtics and Bulls. Yes he should have come back and played PG. The 1991-1992 went 26-2 and had 4 future NBA players and a platoon at pg among very average players. With Hunt they would have gone 28-0, but they were ineligible to play in the tourney. There should always be a roster spot for shooter and his jumper was a thing of beauty. Hunt was a very good defender, and his vertical leap was off the charts. Now he would have no issue making a NBA roster of 17, plus 2(two way guys) Making a 12 man roster back then was much more difficult. When has character issues ever kept a player out of the NBA? That is laughable. Hunt wasnt a choir boy, but he sure as hell did not shave any points. One year of playing pg on a 28-0 UNLV team would have gotten him to the league. He should have listened to Tark. Hunt did a podcast talking about both Duke games. He alluded to a certain player staying out all night and just making it to the team breakfast. YOu can tell by watching the game which player that was. For those to say he could not use his left. Could Augmon or Anthony go right?
I think a good one would Quintin Dailey. He played with Jordan! When you do your research you will understand why. Also just a thought! You might do some teams that didn't live up to expectations. Thanks
jc u gotta make a reverse stunted growth like how players who had everything against them made it to the league anyway. like muggy, earl boykins, kevin johnson, mario elie, or the best undrafted player ever ben wallace
The point shaving was an issue. His height too . Larry Johnson could have robbed a bank & still made the NBA LBVS ! At 6'1" you better have it all together.

He was born probably 20 years old too early
@@sickofguysnamedtodd2293 Yep. The game is built for tweener now.
@@sickofguysnamedtodd2293 Nah not true there was always small guys playing SG in a PG body

Great player. He was a very tough defender too. Super quick and strong.
Anderson Hunt was the truth
He was like a combination of a slightly shorter Monte Ellis and Eric Murdock in his prime. I thought he could have atleast been a 3rd or 4th guard off some teams bench considering their were expansion teams that were recently added to the League where he could have earned a spot for a few seasons back then
Thank you for taking my request! One of my favorite college hoopers
My Favorite Player on that TEAM
Might have to do a stunted on the plastic man Stacy augmon and Greg anthony too lol
Those two are easy. Augmon was a tweener who couldn't shoot with range or finish on the break unless it was an open dunk (though they were usually spectacular). Anthony only made the league because he is hyper intelligent, nothing particularly special about his game other than his on court leadership.

Maurice Taylor-Michigan
Bryant Big Country Reeves-Oklahoma State...
That backcourt was sick him and Greg Anthony team as well don't really remember watching college ball during that Era but dude could hoop
Terrell Brandon was a beast and really humble and low key brother from South East Portland ....not be tested I believe he gave him 50
Terell was so nice
Roy tarpley??
Hunt was really fun to watch. I loved his fearless 2-handed dunks off 1 foot. He was fearless.
This was my guy as a kid good look on this one....✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
How about one on Dontonio Wingfield from Cincinnati
Who?
Unlv was my favourite team back n da day and i always wondered what happened 2 Hunt
Right game, wrong time, would be a super sixth man in today's NBA
I don’t know what position he would’ve played at the NBA level. He seemed like a tweener... a point guard body at 6’0” with a shooting guard’s game that needed to be played at 6’5”.
Fuck the haters...Anderson Hunt will ALWAYS and ETERNALLY be a legend...!!!!!
H~
Outstanding!
Salute SG! Another old school banger from my day. Classic case of undersized Shooting Guard. Could never make the transition to the point.
What are you doing?!!! Wow, Anderson Hunt!!! Keep these coming JC!!!
Sing off these guys I’ve never heard of thank you for bringing them to light and what mistakes we all make
