- Is Ed Booger Smith the best street ball guard ever? In my book he's top 3. Definitely a legend in the basketball bible whose name will live on forever. Why didn't he make the NBA?

Where too find some of the footage that not in sole in the Hole
Boogz Was Nice But RIP 🪦 yall the Ones Who Never Got to See Hector Rodriguez …. Could Shoot n Take Over a Game , Break Ankles For real, And Illest Passes U Ever Seen
The people will never understand. His handles was insane .
Where u from?
Brooklyn
@@zig8nor412 oh aiight. I can tell. Only niggas from Brooklyn will say that about Boogs. He the 🐐
@@TikTak83BaccW Fort Greene here. This man was so damn good. A fucking shame what happened.
They will never understand facts. I'm from VA, but I know just off watching soul in the Hole and highlights. If you just know how to base things off the eye test you can tell how ridiculous his handles were. The way this dude could break ankles out of a trap and then pass was crazy. If you look up the definition of 20 and 10 for a point guard his face would show up in the dictionary. They don't make em like him no more.
Soul in the Hole mixtape was CRAAAACK... I remember seeing him and Charles Jones go HAM
And I’m a 30yr old from NC lol
Yes sir!
Facts!!!
M J he is talking about the soundtrack to the movie.
I see No lies here 👌🏾
I was his backcourt mate at Arizona Western. We put that work in. The best in the country.
Yess!!! I’ve been waiting on this one for the longest. Can we get Arthur Agee and William Gates?

The problem with inner city ballers,they think "hood love" is better than being an actual professional bball player........that's our problem,whenever we make it out the slums........our first trip is to go back to the hood as if we're still trying to make it out.....the hood only loves you when you're struggling like they are.....but will be the first to murk you when you obtain success
Dudes got mad at Skip when he made it to the league. Alimoe was supposed to go to Fresno State with Skip, but he listened to niggas in the streets who weren't going nowhere and stayed in NYC. Alimoe spent the money for the plane ticket as well as room and board. He loved home too much. I was shaking my head because I loved his game. Booger actually wanted to go to the league, but didn't have the structure.
Had a guy here in chicago named MICHEAL HERMAN the kid who was basically sold to U OF I to play for BOBBY KNIGHT who anybody would tell you was a death sentence for HERMAN. This is when LANDON"SONNY" COX was selling his players from KING H.S . SAME thing he did to RASHARD GRIFFIN who went to UW with FINLEY AND Tracy Webster but STU JACKSON and COX made that deal. Griffin wanted to go to MICHIGAN. HERMAN was instead back home after Indiana and played for the GUYS out west.
@@davidhall4401 facts and you could tell who was salty abt skip and his aura when he played on the And 1 tour.........No other player brung the hood out to the courts like skip......fake love/real hate......but yea alimoe was suppose to go with skip out to Fresno but I can't remember what happened,I think it was on and 1's Alimoe documentary
@@TheBaller3213 Man that's crazy. Sonny in my opinion was not a good coach. He just knew how to stack his roster. There was another dude on that team who wanted to go to Tennessee, but Sonny wouldn't let him take his visit and pushed him to go to Cincinnati with a coach he knew.
@@southeastd.c5636 Exactly bro. Skip brought the entire hood out. When Skip came back to play in the And1 tour Main Event tried to fight him. They tried to say it was because Skip fouled Half Man Half Amazing too hard, but it was clearly an accident. The way they acted showed that it was deeper than that. I heard that Main Event was mad because Skip didn't help him get into the league, but Skip said none of them dudes ever came and asked him what they needed to do. They all waited for an opportunity to come, but never asked how to put themselves in position to get an opportunity. AO was the only dude who asked Skip what he needed to do and Skip helped him. I will say this though the And1 tour on ESPN ruined the rep of street ball with Hot Sauce and had people thinking that street ball was a joke and even a separate sport. Volume 1 with Skip and Soul in the Hole both showed how real streetball was played. They just combined flare with the real mechanics of basketball. On the And1 tour with Hot Sauce cats let him do what he did. In real streetball niggas won't letting you do nothing.
Ed Boog showed me love playing pickup. His point guard skill was crazy. He’d dime you in the smallest of places.
I played pick up with him when I was a teenager...We were on the same team we didn't loose a game the whole time..That's a true story..I saw this sports illustrated magazine before I ever saw the soul in the hole documentary...I looked at slam magazine and other sports basketball magazines growing up cause I was onto playying ball a lot...Then I got to play with him one day...at an American family fitness in VA..I knew who he was as soon as he walked in the gym..Maybe other people recognized later..If you were into streetball and stuff. They probably knew...But point blank nobody beat us the whole time I had to leave after a while then somebody else took my place..The whole time we ain't loose...Period..
@@DavidWilliams-cn4ho I kno you telling the truth. I can’t remember sitting down that entire time. Homie game till this day I remember. He’s def a special talent
Soul in the Hole is still the greatest sports documentary ever made. Thanks for this. Growing up in NYC in the 90's, this man was my entire youth.

You obviously never saw hoop dreams.
Salute to the OG Ed “Booger” Smith from the 1st Side of Fort Greene Projects. A Legend & the Greatest PG in streetball history!! #67
To me...Boogar name was ringing bells waaaay b4 Kenny Kings..way b4 Kareem Reid, Skip and all them other guards hit the scene. I played in alot of tournements, and Boogar was everywhere...everytime Boogs have a game...the parks was packed...and that was like at 14 yrs old. Damn i wish i coulda gave you some info for this vid...but this vid is still fiiiiyah🔥🔥🔥
This that one right here. Soul in the Hole was one of my favorite VHS tapes in college along with that first And1 mixtapes 🔥🔥🔥
Boogs was that dude...I've been watching, coaching, studying basketball for decades and still haven't seen anyone duplicate some of Boogs moves he was definitely unique and one of kind...Salute the brother 💪🙏

I grew with Booger. He was one of the BEST pure players I've ever seen in my life, but Boog was caught up in the streets. It's a bit sad, but Booger is a great guy and I wish him the best! #Salute #fortgreenebrooklyn
Speedy Claxton - Hofstra
My old coach Ed Boog best point guard from NY ever
Let me tell you if you want to see someone with some great court vision, Booger was the one. Legend
Damn this is wut up bro i asked about him a while ago ed booger from soul in the hole and i see you delivered now im just waiting for larry hughes good shit bro
I was a Larry Hughes fan in his warriors and wizard days ,,, the cavs lebron James system and injuries killed his quality of NBA yrs
@@carlwallace1129 yeah u rite and they tried to change his game tho but i still hope he profiles him tho😊
I would love to see a larry profile video, but dude had a very solid career
@ Carl Wallace. I hope you played ball Carl, because Carl Wallace is a straight ball players name. Sounds like a legit power forward who jumps out the gym. Lol
@@jondixson5274 I was a combo guard that had a little hangtime in the midrange lane area and a quality 3pt shooter , crafty passer and finger roll with the left hand. I was a subpar on ball defender but a above average shot blocker .I could dunk barely but not jump out of the gym .injurys deflated those hoop dreams quick.lol
Another dope Video Big Homie, Lets Get It🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾💯💯💯

Was waiting on this one. Boogz is a LEGEND!
One of the first videos I've EVER clicked without reading the caption.... SOOOOOUULLL... IN THE HOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLEEE🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm hearing that intro my man - watched a thousand times growing up
Love this!!!
This was literally a perfect video my g. My favorite by far!!! Song is fire too. Great fit. 🔥
This might be my favorite vid and topic too. Thanks for the song compliment fam
Yup. Came out great. My favorite basketball song right now. Top 3 all time.
@@stuntedgrowth 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Dope vid bro bro....i won a MVP/Championship wit Boogar in Lafayette Gardens(LG), juniors tournement...that boah knew how to get'chu the ball. I loved playin with him...but hated playing against him.lol
Booger was the real deal. He was very small & had no jumper tho. Jamal Tinsley use to hoop with him @ Rucker before Iowa State.
Stunted Growth I been requesting to do Jamal Tinsley
Brooklyn
Mel Mel The Abuser & Booger was Tough in Rucker 💯
@@blakelip3 I don't know if Jamal qualifies. He went from street all legend to the league and played for a while
Naw he could shoot..he jumper was very underrated
Mannn!!!! ST you did it again. Great insight. Great comparison of Boogie & Skip. I know school isn't for everyone, but if you are talented enough there is room to fake it till you make it.

Yo my older brother hoop with booger he had like 30 assist never shot the ball just shows you his ability
I 1st heard about him when my uncle got me that soul in the hole vhs. I was looking at the tape like, ok, this must be some type of Cornbread, Earl, and Me movie. Crazy how the plot of the movie is similar to Benji Wilson and the current protests around the country. But yeah that tape was fire, must have!!!
My favorite streetball player talked to him last week 💯...#Brooklyn
Damn my guy you got range, booger tho. That's tough. I used to want to be like him. It was like he played so much ball from an early age. Every move he made was off instinct. It didn't matter how many people was on him. And he was a pass first scorer.
Dope video!!!
Stunted G you came thew and delivered my man 💯💯💯💯💥💥💥💥🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Yoooo this dude was fukn MAD NICE ONE OF MY FAVORITE STREET BALL PLAYER I remember him destroying dudes on the court he was hard to guard he was like Jesus on the court!!!! NYBK all day!!!! This is my era the 90’s it was all WORD to Mouth for these Big Schools to come out to see your ball skills you had to be NICE literally!!!!!
You still gotta be nice bub. This dude ain’t make it did he? Lol
Great feature bro. I’m from the same hood as booger in Brooklyn. I know to many dudes out here with the talent to dominate the ncaa but for one reason or another...... u know how the story goes
The Soul in the Hole Soundtrack was official too.

I still have that book this is so classic , thank you
Street ballers are some of the most short sighted fools on earth
I did not see this one coming bro!! Gud work booger smith and rafer Alston I read about in slam magazine watched soul in the hole growing up!! New York City point God’s! ✊🏾
I used to see him play every summer at Tillery park in downtown Brooklyn I remember one specific game Speedy Williams and Richie Parker on the same team and he absolutely destroyed both of them man what a handle
Speedy Williams from above the rim? I heard stories about him, but only seen those small clips in the movie. You knew he was no actor. Only if CZcams was around back then.
@@halfamic he used to play for Medgar Evans which is a College downtown Brooklyn dude was really nice super handle as well but real frail...🏀🦴
I had never heard of him. Great story. Different perspectives on how everyone sees basketball their own way
Me either

God gifted handle and vision. BK's finest.
44 mom's bought a house right up the block (435 Quincy St bet. Throop & Tompkins) from p.S. 44 Park where Soul In The Hole was filmed!! I remember moving over there an always hearing about him as a kid then seeing him at the tournament......he was fast as hell.
THE LEGENDARY BOOGER SMITH!!!!! Definitely one of the greatest point guards out of NYC EVER!!!!
All he did was play ball. All he needed was a true mentor tho. He would tell u. All he wanted was someone to love and support him.
Dope!
Was jus thinking bout him
🐐
Jamaal Tinsley-Iowa state...
Jamal Tins....Lets get itttttttttttt ....

I remember watching Soul in the Hole religiously as a youngin! Classic streetball documentary and the soundtrack was 🔥.
Bro why you aint do Charles Jones his soul in the hole teammate or richie Parker
Yes!! I grew up on Soul in the Hole!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥yesssir
His interview with flip made me cry .
And I'm from coney island.
Always roc from fort green " he a Smith
I got that sports illustrated- at the time I believed I was better than him. It’s the mentality you had to have to ball on any blacktop.
23 and 12 definitely was league ready that’s tough for any player
His skills were phenomenal!
#brothered🏀✊🏿💪🏿💯
Bruh needed a headband with the braids tho!!! Great video as usual
Grew up with him Ah Ah Ah my dude 💪🏽
I saw boogs in the DMV a few years ago lol I was tryna get my CDL endorsement & he was tryna get his license together we chopped it up a lil but he was cool tho
Genuinely seems like a good dude.
Stunted Growth yeah he is he’s doin construction he said he’s like a Forman
Booger and another dude named Speedy back then Were tough .He was one of my Fathers rivals. IM 38 and my father is 53 i can tell you being young going from park to park in Nyc as a very young boy my pops Definitely had a real opponent in front of him ...Its like these dudes were created and not berthed....Every block in NYC had a great point or a great player
That first clip with of the kid driving to the hoop is the court I used to play on - Prospect Heights behind the NYPD station
Oooooohhhhhhh Stunted Growth Did Boogie Joint 🔥🔥🔥💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 #Brooklyn

Where did you get the footage of him playing in Fort Greene? I need to see the full version of that
good video...always heard the name, but not really familiar with his game. Booger's story reminds me a lot of Hot Sauce's character in Crossover, Jewelz...he was so content with where he was in the streets that he didn't really care for NBA success...he knew and understood his lane.
Legend!!!
Thank U
Everybody knew about Soul in the Hole Basketball Tournament,living 2 blocks away to the games was always packed.Residents withe there folding chairs came early together a good seat.I remember those summer days very well,NA ROCK.
Grew up going to alot of those games in 93 at soul in the hole. Booga was serious. I have so many stories and memories
Glad I get to see these guys still hoop in the 40 and over.
No wonder that’s where that song came from he got game that’s insane never knew that !!! Wow
WE ALMOST THERE!!! #20K 👀👀 WE AINT FORGOT! WE WAITING FOR THAT STORY STORY DOG!!!!!💪🏽
Chris Sims 👌🏾
Boog was real nice with the handles. He never really got a chance to be on the big stage. Once again bro you raised the bar with this one classic hooper. Thank you for the insight. Now you know I’m gonna hit you with a list of notable players you need to do so this week I got some names for you Chris Williams of UVA brother passed away in 2017 bro was cold in the ACC. Doron Sheffer of UConn was cold too with Ray Allen. Alvin Williams of Toronto back in the day. Alan Anderson from MICHIGAN ST. Cedric Henderson from Memphis. Exree Hipp from Maryland who was a beast with Joe Smith. Justin Gainey of NC State
C. C. Harrison of NC State that team had a run in 97 ACC Tournament that was crazy.
Did you do Dexter Strickland? Or OJ Mayo?
Epiccccc "Soul In The Hole"
Soul in the Hole that's a throwback for ya
Greatest pure pg ever
Soul in the hole
Kenny kings!!!!💪
Hardest doc back then.
That and Hoop dreams
Soul In The Hole is an amazing documentary and soundtrack
Whoa!!! This is dope bro. Booger is in my top 3 point guards street or pro. Great coverage and I highly appreciate the video plug 🙏🏾🙏🏾🎯🏆
RAN Ink TV no doubt man. Classic!!!
@@stuntedgrowth I'm honored bro
The best hoopers never make it to the league. Like y’all amazed at how steph and dame shooting from deep that’s regular basketball in New Jersey. Someone’s uncle who hasn’t touched a ball in 15 yrs will pull up from the hash mark on you here that’s what we do. Dajuan Wagner had a short stint in Cleveland on the cavs right before LeBron got there he’s from Camden nj he was doing that in high school shooting from beyond half court not to mention he 100 point game mostly all half court threes. They tried trapping him a the half court line he started shooting before he got to the trap. Not to mention look out for his son he is definitely on the way he is in high school now dajuan Wagner jr you heard it here first.
Soul in the hole another hood classic
Stunt Growth really out did yourself on this one . A Gem on the street ball level before And I there where Kenny kings and booger , Charled Jones D Flight amongst more ✊🏿
They had Bam, like all D1s on that Kenny's King team! Charles Jones jumpin out the gym
Yes Bam was strong guard with handles such memories they was throwing alley oops like crazy
💯💯
this is a playground legend
Let's be real he was talented but wasn't smart at all he was your typical hood dude with a poor worth ethic but amazing talent
@Jay Peterson facts like Kevin Garnet but Kev was 7 foot
Yup to me this was the best basketball documentary for me. Should do one for Charles Jones.
Do a Stunted Growth on A Butta from the Rucker league
Such a sad story man
Flip da script brought me here from interviewing Ed
do you know this other NY street baller from the same time named Sherman or Sherwood Anderson? I heard shamgod mention him but dont know the first name
Best? Nah, im not elite, thats my big homie & I used2 work him out. But Boogs was too little as special as he was. U had Junie Sanders, Kareem Reed, Shamgod, Charles Jones, June the Show, Ed Cota & Mook, all guards that was just better sized than Ed except mookie. But Booger was the 1st And1 logo then came Skip2myLou. Shout 2 Kenny Kings. Boogz once told me he had a workout with the Hornets but didn't have his iD to get on the plane.. Smmfh. All respect to the Fort Green legend.
You remember a little point guard named shan'do McNeil he played at st. bonaventure's and homeboy Tariq Brown used to play for UConn and Steve Burk jr. For Iona.....I played against all them dudes at
Hoffman Park AAU circuit...summer 90-94
Kareem Reid was great at Arkansas
Damn all because he didn't have I.D
@@mikete2223 u just named niggas in WAY different age groups. Shandu way older. Taliek Brown is my peer, Steve burtt 2 yrs younger than me. No way u played against Taliek, HE was 12 in 94, and Steve Burtt or was 10. U probably played against Shandu. He was playing AAU from 90-94 like u said. Taliek is in my class, class of 2000. Steve Burtt or class of 02'
U CAPPING FAM #REALTALK 😂😂😂😂
You should do a video on Richie the animal Adams or Karlton dunkin Hines
I use to go to soul in the hole to watch him and a few other greats hector Rodriguez RIP Maurice Kirby RIP the great Anthony Cunningham from nostrand there are so many bug blog was a monster
Saw bogger play at George Westinghouse high school Bk in 1992 and he was talented,but had no work ethics to get better, No guidance was his down falll
bro he number 1 that boy was beyond words
Larry Hughes!!! One and Done. STL stand ☝
He kinda stunted his own growth he should of stuck it out at juco
Would be a good to do one on his team mate charles jones doing the 360s in the movie, lead college in scoring
Do mike evans a lefty from norfolk va
Life is What you MAKE IT..this man never anticipate the FUTURE. He love Penny&Dime."COMPLACENCY KILLS"
