Leveled up bro! Looks great! Watch out for the top of your head clipping in some green screen shots of you want the next level.
Also, your background should have something representing what your talking about. Maybe a transparent basketball in a lower corner or something like that.
Love it
Amazing I love it keep it up.
Also kinda relating to this video I think Anthony Davis has the best skillset in the league he just isn't aggressive enough or has the mindset to use all of his skills.
another difference between good and bad NBA players is the IQ that helps them utilize their skills to a different degree
Love that jacket, you should use ist on your tinderprofile
Rusty got the jacket on. He on the mic like a stand up comedian. He's a professional so I know he has pants on. I like this new direction.
Rusty got a long ass neck
@@anthonyfuscellaro233 the candice flynn neck
Are you sure he's wearing pants?
i think he's standing up specifically so he doesn't have to wear pants
he about to do the next one with no pants just for the meme
As a D1 hooper myself I can say that even a guy struggling to make the g league is still ridiculously good at basketball
You at Dartmouth?
I don't think people realize how good the average NBA player is.
@@chrissullivan6572 even bench warmers are really underestimated like people call them bums when they would 100-0 them
@@clutchproductions1401 I've played guys who couldn't even crack their DII teams rotation and they were the best player in the gym. I hate how some people talk about basketball players sometimes.
@@chrissullivan6572 exactly I look at it like this, even if your a g league guy your a top 800 player in the world. I look at any professional sport like football. I went to a nfl camp a while back and those guys even tho there not that tall they are insanely ripped. I met Khalil Mack at a bulls game and dude legit looks like a brick. Nba players are insane like just look at the guys who can dunk from the free throw line. I didn’t realize how f ing far that is.
When someone says a nba player is “trash” it’s supposed to be compared to other nba players not to you or your average basketball player
Thank you.
Every body knows that ... people only pretend they dont when their losing a debate.
I agree, but you'd be surprised how many people genuinely believe they're better than some NBA players. When those kinds of people call and NBA player trash, they're not keeping it in the context of just in the NBA. They're talking about among everyone including street ballers.
@@davidmartinez52420 Mmm, idk about all that. You're making a huge leap by claiming that many people actually believe they could beat an NBA player.
As the OP said, when you refer to someone as trash, it's trash in relation to other people in that profession.
@@THE_BEAR_JEW I clearly stated that I agree with calling an NBA player trash should be relative to other NBA players. I've known plenty of people though that don't see it as relative to strictly NBA players but rather anyone that's ever picked up a basketball. They'll literally say things like "How did this guy even get on a college team let alone an NBA team?". Just because you might not have met people that think stupid shit like that doesn't mean those people don't exist.
I actually have a lot in common with NBA All Stars: I’m as tall as Isaiah Thomas, as fast as Jokic, can shoot like Yoachim Noah, defend like Trae Young, have handles like JJ Redick and possess the basketball IQ of JR Smith.
So u basically trash😂
@@spammed6764 Pretty much, yeah
😂😂😂😂
Hilarious!!
Get this man a contract 😂🤝
Skill to causals means anything that’s guard related.
Well ur comment just proved ur a casual. Casual🤪

Lol
They called him Air Jordan for a reason. Swoosh 🏀
When my mans caught Kelly Oubres kiss i lost it 😂
That Karl Malone joke 😂😭
Karl
Karl Malone slander is always welcome
@@jomantis5 Facts.All my homies hate karl malone.
As a Utah Jazz fan, I second that Karl Malone slander is always welcome. His two trips to the nba finals does not excuse him from being a trash human being
@Harry Engel Omg those are hilarious 😂😂😂
I wish I could tell you how good Malone was as a player, but I was born in '97... The only memories I have of him growing up are ads for his shady car dealers here in Utah. However, I can tell you how great Deron Williams, Boozer, Okur, AK47, Hayward were since I grew up watching them 😅
Sidenote: If the nba expands, Seattle better get back the SuperSonics. The move to OKC did y'all dirty
ARE YOU PROUD ABOUT THIS VID MR BUCKETS
What kind of question is that lol
Ofc lol
Just more verified users farming attention with random comments that get hella likes cuz CZcams puts their comments first
@@sticky9400 Rusty made a video about how he wants to make higher quality videos he can be "proud of" on Fridays. This is his first
@@quentinthernize6678 I know but if he’s not happy with the video why would he post it lol
Problem is people think having athleticism play a huge part in your game disqualifies you from being called skilled
Back watching this after “no-skill” Giannis just won fmvp and “dribble dribble dribble man” James Harden is getting fat with Lil Baby
Rusty just had to flex his Minecraft house
Rusty had some deep-rooted agenda going after the Scal-memers
They need to be Exterminated from this blue green earth. They are not funny yet act like they are
@@goattier7728 Nah, it' was funny for a while but as with everything, it gets old and overused. Much like the "he protecc he attacc" and "I took it personal."
@@THE_BEAR_JEW over using jokes ruins the comment section for me so i dont usually scroll
like at least update your shit and make those jokes about alex caruso like the cool kids
@@THE_BEAR_JEW
He protect
He attacc
He give this meme major flacc
🤣🤣 sorry. Had to.
Rusty pulled out his dad's Michael Jackson jacket for this and went straight to the basement. I like it. Great breakdown.
Damn lmao
in my mind, a player with a “lack of skill” is simply a player that has an over reliance on leveraging their physical gifts. shaq is an obvious example of this because his entire game revolved around simply being bigger and stronger than everyone around him. it is so clear cut and dry that shaq became even more dominant when he got fatter because good luck boxing out a 330lbs monster that was over 7’ tall. if you put shaq’s skill set into a smaller player, he pans out to be tristan thompson.
if you take away kevin durants height, he still pans out to be on the level of like mitch richmond because the skills he cultivated still translate despite taking away his physical gifts.
but i agree there are no NBA players that aren’t skilled and that “less skilled players” doesn’t mean that those players aren’t great for maximizing their game around their physical gifts.
Imagine how shit Shaqs career would have been if zone defense wasn't illegal for the first 13 years of his career.
@@octopus8420 imagine how many points KD would average if teams could only defend him man to man
@@visno about the same I imagine
@@octopus8420 KD would be more dominant
@@sheldonhollis5258 why?
This is already my favorite series on CZcams and it’s only episode 1
i was gonna like but i want you to stay at 69

2:45 “hello there”
Hey guys, vsauce here
I read this in obi wan kenobis voice
Calling Westbrook “unskilled” is just outrageous, the dude was an MVP who can dunk at 6’3 with a near 37” vertical. It’s not like he can’t shoot because he is definitely capable of shooting on his day and his passing ability is top notch.
Ok he’s not unskilled by any means but Athleticism is not a skill. 37 inch vertical is just athletic ability.
@@lilbeanrc8588 I agree, but nobody comes out the womb with a 37 inch vertical. Lotta ppl criticize jacked nba players who rely on strength as part of their game but ignore the work spent in the weight room that could've been spent developing a better jumper etc
@@1taejoon True that’s a very good point. Not a lot of players put in the amount of work to perfect their body like Westbrook.
Not top notch but good
Hes skilled but it doesn't take any skill to be 6'3 n be able to dunk
When he said Shaq is a better shooter than YOU... I felt that..
.
... Really felt that brick on my head
James Harden’s vertical is like how bumblebees fly, they’re both so big the laws of gravity say they wouldn’t be able to but they don’t give a fuck😂
We need to make rusty vs Cristino Felecio a thing
I look back on how Dwight Howard was attempting to develop a jumper back in Orlando and was basically told to stop by almost everyone.
Then later in his career his lack of shooting is one of the things we went on to criticize him about. So coaching matters too when it comes to skill.
You saying “basically my point is I’m a bitch” at that moment I had the like the video 😂
Same😂
I think every argument made for Brian Scalabrini could apply to Jared Dudley, though Dudley had a pretty significant role as an enforcer.
And he’s the general of that evil lakers benchmob srsly they talk more shit and step onto the court more than anybody else
Actually didn't watched his career in suns?
He could make more threes than all his critiques combined.
Bruh this green screen fun is so uplifting.
This was a really refreshing addition on to the channel. Interesting in depth breakdown, different visual dynamic, I liked it. Definitely looking forward to more of these.
The category you were looking for with hustle is intangibles.
Man I almost dropped my food laughing at the Karl Malone jab
Man the shift into this kind of content is so welcome and it makes me way more excited to view your content at a consistent clip
I cant say ive been watching you for years now, but this style feels like an evolution of this channel for the better. Doesnt seem like something you can put out daily (seems like it takes some time to prepare) but having 3-4 of these in a month would be amazing
Wow rusty when u said you wanted to make higher quality videos your weren’t lying. I loved your older video style but this blew me away good job
Bro this is such a good video. Great start to the deep dive series
Lmao “I caught it.”💀
Man, you gotta love how rusty amped up the quality, the content has always been top notch but now it also looks sweet, deserves like a million subs
I'm so proud of you Jacob, lengthy and in depth content like this with all of the substance in the world that makes you think is the fucking best and I love you're taking this route and approach to content creation.
YO THAT KARL MALONE JOKE WAS OUT OF POCKET LMAOOO
As an English NBA fan I really appreciate this channel! Great way to keep up to date with games I often can't watch
Y’all got playgrounds with courts over in Britain ? How do u know abt hoops ?
@@voiceofreason2674 yea we do, football (soccer) is way more popular but you see courts with hoops everywhere. Basketball is worldwide man. I got into it watching euroleague at first but the NBA is way more interesting
@@james18paice damn I bet they like the wizards over there cuz y’all think it’s Merlin
@@voiceofreason2674 no idea what Merlin is haha
@@james18paice the lil dude who hangs w King Arthur. Harry Potter then, my point is I bet the British hoopers love anything w wizards, but maybe I’m wrong
I really enjoyed this video, and I like this new style in the video. The grey background, standing up, the overall aura of this video was just great. I hope to see more, and the jacket was a good touch
Liked the new style Rusty. Liked the longer length, the collaborations, and seeing more of your personality/sense of humor in this one. Keep it up.
Hell yeah I was so excited for this all week
I didn’t know he had the ability to stand
This was really fucking good, I didn't like the idea of the format change and the new channel but now that I've seen both I'm really excited for what's to come!
Great video!!!! Looking forward to these every week
I DIED when Oubre blew a kiss to him 😭😭😭
I'm so hyped for the first high quality video
Damn that was kinda cold. He has other high quality vids
@@jamesghaffari6045 yeah I didn't mean it like that I just meant that this is supposed to be the Extremely High quality vid
i’ve always loved your videos but i can tell these are the videos you’ve wanted to start making for a very long time. good shit
Pretty good start to the Deep Dive series, keep it up!
Holy shit this video was great I watched this whole video being entertained and its 26 minutes long.
I think ballhandling should have probably been mentioned more often because I think the ability to handle the ball and be flashy has a lot of impact on what people see as skill. I.e. the take Kyrie is the most skilled NBA player etc. Even though he obviously has other skills lets be real people who say this are talking about his dribbling
absolutely great video man, Its insane to see how far your videos have come.
Love this new direction. Just finished watching your Chanel update vid and I am really excited to see where your Chanel goes in the feature
People saying that Giannis is unskilled. If you were in Giannis shoe's you would be no where near as good as him. He has better IQ on offense and defense thats why he is a 2x MVP
Well.. skill set includes using your body at his fullest potential. Giannis may not be a guy that has a lot of handle, but he sure knows how to use his explosive and arm spawn to good use. But giannis needs a mid range, for god's sake
@@lucasmonteiro600 Whenever I hear about Giannis being "unskilled", I always take that to mean that he doesn't have a diverse or versatile offensive game, not even just 3s, but you always hear people talk about how he just runs at the basket. Whether that's true or not, that is the narrative
@@lucasmonteiro600 when I hear Giannis doesn't have a handle I LAUGH. He came in the league with 2 guard handles and they got TIGHTER lol. Watch actual clips of him playing
Your channel has become my favorite NBA youtube videos to watch. Keep it up you're doing some great things
Really loving the new content Rusty! Loved the features in the video too and your takes on that.
This is dope. I always thought about this
18:04
That’s genius! Why didn’t I think of that?
These new style videos are amazing keep it up @rusty buckets🔥
Congrats on the evolution, look forward to seeing the continued growth🙏🏿
If u play pick at the Y or random gyms you'll catch a few guys who played overseas and they end up dominating. That always gave me perspective on how good guys who make an nba roster are
I played against Antonio Blakeney before lol. The dude completely toasted my homie who was like 6 foot. I’m 5’7 but a lot smarter and a better defender and while I did a much better job against him the dude was on another level. I never thought I would stop him and the fact I didn’t get obliterated like my boy surprised even me 😂 This was like a young Blakeney though like he hadn’t even transferred to a prep school he was still attending Cardinal Mooney. Every now and then you randomly come across a basketball Demi-god!
This was so great! This felt like I was listening to a philosophy course on basketball.
And your point is very valid. Giannis, while being severely underdeveloped in arguably the most important skill in basketball (shooting) is still very skilled. You could be even bigger stronger and faster than Giannis and you're not going to put up 30ppg in the NBA if you're not also skilled. Giannis just focused on developing his dribbling and ability to finish at the rim because that is what his physical gifts could leverage the most.
Believe it or not, but aside from fade aways, shooting benefits very little from height and raw athleticism. Like yeah being taller helps you shoot over guys like KD, but there's a reason why the best shooters at the Y are the old men with knee braces.
Giannis is skilled, he's just not a skilled shooter.
Proud to have been here since around 50k. Rusty you’re damn good at script writing and I love the increased production quality with the green screen!
kudos for the work put into making this video, really well done man. Great stuff
The start of a good series!!
First deep dives boys
This is the format dude I love this type of video
This and your kobe video are amazing I absolutely love the quality
We don’t appreciate the Javale slander
Love how rusty just playing his green screen
I really like this new format rusty keep it up
This is great man! Didn’t think the jump in quality would be drastic so fast.
Yo. The dude he’s interviewing, the movie actually seems really interesting
Rusty meant it when he said “Quality over quantity”💯
i’ve been subbed for over a year now and i can say i really like the direction the channels going rusty keep up the great work man 200k in no time 💯
Loving this new direction I could watch videos like these all the time!
Giannis is now being compared to javale.
How the mighty have fallen
More like how the new goat McGee has finally fulfilled his potential
you obviously didnt understand the point of the video. damn ppl really stupid
Yet he is 2 wins away from leading his team to the finals averaging 30ppg 13rpg
I'd love to fall that far
@@c.l.freeman7654 hes gonna win it all!!
This dude missed the entire point of the video
Rusty is making big strides forward on his channel. Keep it going!
For sure
Love this new format rusty the cuality of the videos have gone to another level
Congratulations
I dont know man the mentality in this video was killer. Most entertaining video from you yet can't wait for this series to continue
He wasn’t lying when he said we was bringing that high quality
the comparison in the beginning is kinda weird. Giannis is clearly much more athletic than Javale.
Cap. Young javale was a monster athlete.

This shit fire, glad you’re taking the new direction with your channel. Keep it up g
With just the different intro we could say is a banger. Your best so far.

I'm really liking the new video Rusty. Looks very professional. Keep up the awesome work!
“Pretty clear grey area”. Oxymoron.
I agree with the premise of this video but you’re 100% wrong about Ben Simmons.
They’re are absolutely better shooters in rec leagues than Ben Simmons.
hey man really enjoyed the change of theme and this deeper videos, that kind of content was why i subscribed to your channel , keep the good work. big fan from brazil here
Two of the best nba vloggers come together is a great union. Too awesome 👏🏼 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
10:46 SORRY THAT'S BIRD. He had as many assist, and points as lbj but with less dribbvles and touches. He also was a better rebounder, despite not being able to jump higher, which was pure iq. To me, bird is the highest iq player ever. OH AND he also is second best in off bal movement on offense and on defense.
Not quite as Many but you did get your point across

Don’t get me wrong Bird’s bball IQ is very high but let’s not act like Raymond Felton doesn’t exit
