I’m 40 now. And1 was 100% responsible for my love of basketball. Specifically seeing Hot Sauce do the things he was doing with a basketball made the entire sport so cool to me and my friends. So glad it existed when it did. Shame it never made a real comeback. I’m now showing my son the old tapes.
And 1 was also my introduction to Basketball as well. I always thought the NBA players were cool, but it was something about the AND1 players that was so much cooler. I remember 2003-2005 waiting week to week to watch the AND1 mixtape tour on ESPN. Some of my fondest moment as a kid!!!
Damn so u 40 and u aint like basketball during thr jordan era before and 1?
It's so hilarious though hearing Iman Shumpert talk about how NBA players were calling that man Hot Sauce, Ketchup when he tried out for the league lmao
I am 40 and my love for the game of basketball came from that classic sports illustrated vhs tape with the greats players of the 90’s on them.. yes And 1 was impactful but I guess we all find out love for things in different ways!!
And1 was my introduction to crazy dunks
And1 was a huge part of my life growing up. I remember being in middle school and high school studying the mixtapes and trying to pull off those moves at park runs like hot sauce, AO, skip, etc and of course the espn show. It sucks that And1 didn't stay together but their impact and influence on streetball/basketball still lives on to this day
I am 36 yrs old and AND1 Streetball was something i lived for, slept for, and dreamed of growing up. I had all of the mixtapes, i watched everything they ever put out and then some. I remember when "The Professor" first joined the And1 team and i immediately found my favorite basketball player because we had a lot in common, I was a smaller white kid with red hair hooping at courts with nothing but older men, I was short but fast, I managed to build myself up using moves i learned from watching And1 streetball mixtapes which made me stand out on the courts. The rise of And1 was an amazing moment in our history and something special for those who truly loved basketball and the game. Now i sit here and watch Ballislife and or Professor Live and think about the And1 days and truly miss it. I feel like something needs to take off again, i feel like someone could recreate something similar to And1 but make it better, bigger and succeed. If anyone could do it, it would be "The Professor". The fact that this man has built himself up in such a great way since the whole And1 moment ended means so much to someone who has followed him since day 1.
Hope he readcthis
And1 might have been more that people even realize, im from germany and there was no NBA on TV back then, there was no german basketball, we were just playing, and then someone found an And1 mixtape in a skateshop, it was the only exposure of basketball we had and we would watch it religiously over and over again. it really meant a lot to us and that impact can never be taken away
I feel ya man! Same here. It never aired on TV here in The Netherlands. I found it via guys i played ball with. Really miss those basketball days man. Hell, kids nowadays that play ball don't even know what and1 is🥲 Sigh... anyway, this makes me want to play streetball again😎
Those were good days. Looks like K1X is still around
I remember as a teen going crazy over the and1 mixtapes and I’m from rural Australia. Shows how far the impact these guys had. Much love to all the players
Im from Guam and it reached us, a tiny island in the middle of the pacific ocean.
I appreciate you sharing how something from American culture had such impact on you mate all the way from rural Australia 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
@@40YearOldSchoolsProfessor where’s the Professor in this video 😂 CLICK BAIT 😂😂😂😂
Got to see and1 when they came to Brisbane
Bro that's weird cuz as a teen I got into kangaroos from watching discovery channel Australia too! It's like you got to see mixtapes from Brooklyn, and I got to see tapes from the outback, that's crikey mate!
And 1 Mixtapes were HUGE back in the day & brought the greatest streetballers to us. Legendary time.
I'm the same age as the Professor, and really enjoyed a trip down memory lane watching this documentary. I owned all the AND 1 tapes, and CDs. I remember in 2002, my senior year of Highschool, and watching ESPN2 to see the latest episode of the Mix Tape tour. Before, smart phones, social media, etc. you had to either be there to see it, or someone had a camcorder and recorded it. It was a different time, where you really appreciated being there in person, and possibly seeing something you could only retell. THanks to the Professor for clearing somethings up. People forget that movie directors, and producers love twisting things around to sell a story.
Same, I think we all around the same age. Anyways I never trust netflix documentaries finding out the people creating it is trying to push a narrative or agenda. Just like the cp5 documentary/movie/show. Finding out most of it were lies. So people trying to do and1 trying to make it as the players were at fault was foul.
Aaayyooooo!!! Me too homie. 🍻🤙🏻
ESPN 2 was still showing those for years too I always watched.
2001-2005 were great times IMO. The age before instant media grafication.
2002 was my senior year of hs also
And1 was as close as you could get to an unscripted reality show. Except people weren't dating, their entire careers and everything they've worked for was on the line. I remember re-watching the same episode countless times and never getting bored of them
@@40YearOldSchoolsProfessor get a life bro
The Professor has always had a light shining on him. He’s blessed with a talent and very humble about it. Back in his And1 days; his talent spoke for him. Now, thanks to social media; he has a platform to showcase his talent and who he truly is. My man is an inspiration to millions of young ballers around the world. I’m very happy to see that he’s made the most of his gift for himself and all of his followers over the years.
I could not say this better. This man is a legend and so well deserved.
Well said, Tommy
Seriously. Not to be racist but the only white undersized 18 year old. He’s been blessed with a gift
I’m a sporty 63/F and I’m so in awe of The Professor. I’d love to have a brew with him and talk. He’s insightful, genius, kind, funny, quirky; and one of the very best ballers ever. Grayson, i love you, man! (Like a mom would). I visit my bestie in Santa Clarita sometimes, I think you play around there for training and fun. Hope to meet you someday. Golden.
@@40YearOldSchoolsProfessor NBA players get clowned by each other in every game. I’m not interested in your suspicious link.
Loved your take on this bro! Shout out to you guys for creating a moment in time that can’t be taken away. Especially for us who got to see it in real time. Salute!
I hope somebody will do a real documentary about AND1 Mixtape Tour and how it changed the basketball culture. 30 for 30 was good, but it was focused more on the music, Netflix was great, but it feels like it was missing something. We need another documentary or NWA type movie about AND1 Tour and it's players.
I'm 30, AND-1 molded my showmanship, and care for the community that it built. The style was on point at the time and it's a shame what happened but you've taken a wonderful approach to it. I appreciate you for always sharing how you feel with us, peace!
I’m surprised you came out with this video I watched the Netflix show a couple months ago and it was great made me happy and also sad . It hit all the emotional buttons . You are and always will be a legend . You inspired Soo many kids that weren’t just white but also kids that maybe weren’t tall and gave them hope that maybe they could be like you aswell.
So well spoken. I’ve gotten goosebumps several times. I was introduced To Who you are in 2011. A great friend of mine who has passed used to call me the proffesor. Not because of basketball but because I skipped a grade and would always answer. He showed me an And1 mixtape and I was hooked. Started play NBA Street 2 wishing I could do what you guys accomplished. Much love man and well wishes to you and everyone else who blessed the world with such great entertainment
Rest In Peace to your friend 🙏🏼
This was beautifully shot, produced, and your insight was amazing! Loved it bro
Absolutely loved this documentary. It brought back so many great memories from my childhood. I wish more of the guys were able to come on and share their experiences and stories, but that's okay. To this day I still keep up with AND1 wishing they will be able to spark that fire one more time. I also noticed the flow of the documentary was out of rhythm as well. Similar to what Professor said, I honestly don't remember that Nike commercial holding as much weight as the owners made it seem. Like it was a cool commercial with a ton of great athletes in it, but that was about it. The main thing I remember about the And1 shoes were the price as a kid. They were always affordable and from what I remember pretty good quality at the time.
The Professor... Huge Talent... Incredible longevity to still be doing it... and such an excellent spokesperson for the game/humble - and always does the shoutouts
Half man half amazing. 50. High octane. Spyda. Helicopter. Deserve their credit too.
Why didn’t they show 50? When did he leave?
Really appreciate your take in the doc as a person who was there. Also would be great video idea to get some of the and 1 guys and go over the best highlights.
Appreciate your feedback on it. Watching y’all as a kid and now seeing the documentary I was questioning some of the accuracy of the Netflix documentary just from remembering certain timelines as a kid
Thanks for the insight professor. As a 43yr old man, And1 tshirts were super hot back in the early 90's like 1994 and onwards. You had to have one of those shirts that talked hella trash. The shoes were never a thing for some of us because the variety of Nike shoes in the mid 90s were too good, from the Kidds, the Pennys, the Pippens, etc. I would consider it a ride into the sunset as you mentioned because it was a great memory of the past when And1 was at it's peak.
Great clarification video much respect to you and all of the players for the joy you brought to us. I am sorry the owners did not have the will to see it through.
2015 was one of the best years of my life! Went from watching these guys growing up buying all the mixtapes to filming them on tour actually playing against the professor In Alabama we actually won! He’s a legend who’s well respected!
Cool story from back in the days! I was at the riverbank state park in NYC, I got there early and began to ball. I was about to leave when I saw a massive group of people heading my way, I'm like "what's going on?" So I decided to sit down on the stands, it turns out to be And1 recording a mix tape, man talk about luck!! I had no idea this was going to happen and ended up seeing one of the best basketball games of all time, also that's when I saw a young professor do his thing with the big dogs! That's a core memory for me!
Always love your content, dude. Keep up the good work and helping a few along the way...
It's pretty amazing seeing the success you had in the And1 days and the success you have made on CZcams. Speaks volumes to your work ethic.
This part
Sheesh congrats on the series my boy💪🏽
After watching the Netflix Documentary I had some questions and I am glad to see you address this in a video.
Much respect
Soon we're about to have a documentary about
"THE RISE AND FALL OF NETFLIX"
I was blessed to be balling in NYC during the prime And-1 run.
Still balling out to this day!
Man you're lucky. That's some intense culture hoopin and New York is in the 90s what a dope time to be in your youth.
@@kirpaS
Yeah. I wish I appreciated it more. Times are way different now.
I'm from Banjaluka, Republic of Srpska, Bosnia & Herzegovina. It's amazing how much impact this guy's had, me and my friends we're crazy about and1, studying the mixtapes and learning tricks. Much respect to all the players.
Mad props to TheProfessor and his team for making an incredible vid. Hearing this side of the And1 story makes me happier to know that's not how it all REALLY went down. Also bummed at the fact that had And1 kept going, we might already have a national league dedicated to it ☹️. It might not flourish if something of the like were to get started in this era but at least we were able to enjoy those moments of And1 mixtapes. And1 will still live forever in my memories!
Hello
I will always remember watching the And1 Mixtape episodes on ESPN during the summers and trying those moves on the court. The whole fancy movement actually helped my game by crossing over without losing control. And those T-Shirts? 🔥🔥🔥 And the shoes? 😍 Still some of the best shoes I've worn.
Those t shirts were so fire
Great share. I appreciate it. I was in HS when all this happened. Definitely shaped me as a baller. I hope we hear from hot sauce.
Thanks for sharing your point of wiew. I loved this. I also felt bit sad, like Dr.J sayd, but after hearing this, you brought a great thankfulnes. So thank you, and super happy about your career. Started to watch you again, after all these years. Still rocking and keeping that street ball style. All the best to your career and life.
Watching those mix tapes, playing ball and even the video game. What an era. Some of the best days of my life!
I’ve watched your videos for a few years now. I don’t usually comment. The positive attitude you have on life is amazing. Your ability to look at the positive in all situations is an attribute missing in most people. You come through as very genuine. Thanks for being real. And I def rocked that And1 gear in the 90s. My T was the one about building a house with all those bricks! 😂
Well said, Rob! I echo your sentiment.
Should change your name to…I can’t build my own Chan so I’m trying to get clout off others.
I remember you were the revitalizing pivot And1 needed to make to stay relevant at the time. You were the reason they made it to espn! I remember that like yesterday!!! You and helicopter were the main draws of the event and to see you have literally 20 years later is dope as hell to see
Just a few months ago I was rewatching the And 1 Reality show here on CZcams and One of the big factors of the show was how hard the OG's were on the newbie team when they lost. The whole " Winning doesn't matter" thing rubbed me the wrong way too because there were lots of clips where if the visiting newbie team wasn't playing well the OG's had PLENTY to say .
I loved the Documentary for the most part though and super appy to hear you dug it to Professor !
Thank you for taking the time to make this. Always one of my favorite players!
Man I remember watching the and 1 stuff back in the day... it was the shit. It was also a better time and country. Man I miss the 90's and early 2000's. Great stuff prof
I remember having and1 videos in the early 2000s and trying to replicate a lot of moves playing in the neighborhood. Later in PE freshman year doing a call back move as a tribute to yall and faking a shot then bouncing the ball off the back of a kids head, the kid wasn't pleased. Played basketball my entire youth and still knew the term and1 from you guys first before I ever heard it in the extra point foul setting. Glad to see the professor still around.
Thanks for making this! I appreciate your level-headedness. Your opinion on the doc speaks volumes for me.
Being in elementary and middle school and having a homie that had an And 1 mixtape dvd/vhs was the best memories. And 1 mixtapes created a culture of new appreciation for hoopers.
Growing up in Detroit, watching And1, it got me out of my shell. Got me out to other neighborhoods, other courts, it encouraged me to seek other competition and get out of my comfort zone. Still to this day, I can't watch any And1 stuff and not have a huge smile on my face.
Huh?? I watched this video some days ago, but it shows that it was published 3 hours ago… wtf?
This was dope! Loved the insight and critique. Your viewpoint is commendable. Regardless of pay - God blessed you in that season to place you where you are now because of And1!
Great show, great doc, and thank you for sharing your thoughts on it. Love to hear the nuances that u shared.
They need to bring back AND1 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
Who would be on the team
@@antoniobaugh707 the same as the first AND 1 get them from the street
@Oscar Daniel Flores true but I think ball is life is trying to do like and 1 did but it's not the same because they don't play against any real official streetball teams
Nick briz
They have them at Wal-Mart
I’m not a fan of the NBA, but AND1 was something special. I still rewatch the mixtapes 20 years later.
been a fan since and 1 i appreciate you taking the time to give the fans more context to what really went on
Thanks for doing this professor! Loved hearing your take. You’re a legend!
I had black and dark blue AND1s that were real shiny. Don't know what happened to them, but they were good days for basketball. Keeping streetball alive in 2023!
I learned so many moves from you and got to play on Lebrons AAU team for 2 years
One of many times locked up in juvenile detention as a teenager is when I first saw the And1 Mixtape and Professor on the tv we watched in there…and now like 15 years later I still love watching this dude and the skill he continually builds on. He had my respect from the jump cause I’m sure he had to work hard af to stand out the way he did back then…and all these years later he’s still at it with his game improved. And even with all he’s done he’s still got that humble attitude when it’s necessary about all these folks and their negative views on him. You really just gotta respect the work he’s put in and where it took him…cause 99% of people only dream of doing what he did.
I had a few of the and 1 mix tape dvds and loved watching them. Then when I lived in Japan I got to see the and 1 mix tape tour in Oosaka and that blew my mind to see players in real life.
this a reupload?
i belive so, maybe he said something wrong in previous one
Is this a re upload? I just watched this a few days ago...
thats what i was thinking...
Hi Professor, what is amazing to me is not just your moves but you finish by making the shot in a smooth silky touch! I am old now so I cannot play anymore but I still enjoy watching others play the game I have loved since I was a boy.
Me and my father never really had the greatest relationship, but I’ll always love him for introducing me to Escalade in a barbershop out in Wyandanch, NY when I was a child. RIP Big Man, never knew he was the brother of Mark Jackson until the day he passed 🕊 AND 1 was just as much as a staple in my childhood as the actual NBA !!
I swear u released this video before
Its crazy how good and humble the proffesser is at the same time...
Respect for being very honest here acknowledging the bits they got right and giving credit where it was due, but also to the bits you needed to correct or didn’t like/appreciate saying your piece without bashing.
I met Aaron Owens(AO) a long time ago while I worked at wawa. I’m talking like 10 years ago now I think, he came into my job and it was super weird how fast I recognized him. I immediately lit up with excitement. I worked in the food section so I couldn’t just go up to him nor did I want to be weird so I didn’t. He must have caught me looking at him though cause he came over to my section and before even ordering he looked at all of us and said “ Wassup guys, working the overnight I see” I immediately fanned out and said “ bro….I’m a huge fan bro, you’re actually my favorite and1 player bro”. Yes I said bro that many times, I was a little excited to meet him ngl. My coworker at the time had no clue who he was lol. I legit spent hours upon hours watching and1 and loving how creative they could be. He was super nice, patient and cool. He just spoke to us for like ten minutes and I think he was more surprised that I was such a huge fan. Which made me like him even more tbh, he was super humble. I’ll never forget meeting him.
Reupload? Something change?
Reupload it seems like
Hey Professor , curious would you ever want to buy And1 ? I know your been building your own success and brand with global hoopers and content creating but would you ever want to buy it and revamp it maybe bring back all the OGs do small tournaments put all the og guys in play with jobs and being apart of something they ultimately brought success too . Kinda like with snoop is doing with death row he’s been getting rapper master back for them so they can benifit off there talent and not these higher ups. I know kids now and days would love to see street ball and it being coach and curated by and1 legends would be full circle & 🔥💪🏽
Just a thought lol 😂
I’ve been showing my 7 yr old son Professor clips, and he loves them. He just started playing in a league last year at age 6 and he’s a better dribbler than most other kids. These videos are an inspiration. Thanks Professor!
I was at the game in jackson, ms(Jackson St) when the professor got his shining moment. i was sitting courtside and on the ESPN footage when they were following the guys around, you can see me on tape with my brother sitting courtside. happy he never stopped as the ebbs and flows of life can pull some under.
repost???
I still remember watching ESPN And 1 mixtape tour during the summer of ‘03 I believe it was and seeing this skinny little white kid show up to the open run on one of the first episodes. During open run, and then in the arena after he was chosen from open run, He was shaking everyone, throwing no look lobs, finishing at the rim, just displaying incredible handles! Nobody could believe how skilled and lethal this seemingly naive and harmless looking kid actually was! The And 1 guys picked him to come on tour and the rest was history! Professor the great 💪🏀
I remember the and 1 tapes from 99 so I was on the wave since the OG dropped. Its DOPE to see professor not only still doing it at THAT LEVEL 2 decades later and showing no sign of slowing down. That shit is inspiring AF.
Sad to see that he is the only 'lucky' one but he been consistent asf and that is really all it takes to do well at anything in life 🙏🏾
@@TruRoux yea you’re a real one man 💯 I definitely didn’t know about the other guys and mixtape that early, but I did follow Rafer Alston since ‘98 when a documentary came out called ‘Between the Madness’ that documented the 97/98 Fresno state basketball season and Rafer was one of the players featured, but had no clue he was “Skip to my Lou” till later
Watched all the and1 as a kid. I'll never forget them. Literally owned all vhs tapes. Wish I knew where they ended up! You and hot sauce was my two favorites of all time and I wish you two made that step to the NBA would of been awesome. I love watching your videos on here as it's like watching and1 for me and reminds me of that.
I've been watching your channel for a few years now, and I have not seen the doc, but not until now did I realize you're a basketball legend in your own right, and I'm sure you're going to do even greater things.
AND1 was such a cool league tbh im sad it fell through
The Professor should bring back something similar…
@@ayo9057 I don’t think he has the money to put together a tour like this.
@@johnsnakes6125 would need investors.
Reupload?
yes with different edit
I was working at a Rec Center during the and 1 prime.., and every kid was wearing and 1, and .., whatever Allen Iverson shoe was out at the time.. and 1 was crushing it.
Great video.
Professor! Much love and respect. I was a HUGE fan of Streetball and And1 back in the day. I used to go to all the NYC tournaments and watch guys do their thing.. One question, as I am sure you know, there is also an ESPN doc about And1. Personally, I thought the ESPN version was far superior to the Netflix version.. Really interested to hear your thoughts on that version and how the two compare/contrast.
I’ve watched it 10 times. One thing they got right is showing how much you brought to the table 🏀 🔥
First
@@KingKobra49 ok I subbed by the way and I commented in your latest video
Long time fan Professor! You were my favorite And1 player. Your my all time favorite ball handler too. I was blessed to have witnessed The entire And 1 movement from start. Enjoyed and watched this whole video.
Lastly fam, What is the music/beat in the background? Mamnn...that mellow track is Dope!
This video was great Thaks Professor! Grew up on all that. Graduated HS 1997, the beginnings of the heyday of And 1 and we loved every minute!
Watching this make me feel mad old I used to have the 4 set dvd collection used to watch them faithfully early 2000’s as a teen
I remember playing and1 on the Playstation 2 back in the day I'm 27 now
I remember watching the documentary it was giving me flashbacks to trying to be like yall on the courts
Professor still an inspiration 🙌 till this day
I keep saying this
Would there be and1 tour in this day and age would be pretty dope or like a remastered game
Let’s go professor! Love you man! Keep grinding
And ballin ofc
Let’s gooo!!!!
I look forward to watching this documentary. I remember staying up late in the summer watching And1 (and Code red mountaindew) as I didn't have a job or any responsibility at the time. I loved watching this until 2-3am in the morning. Good stuff.
I worked at Footaction during the And 1 era. It was absolutely crazy when an And 1 VHS tape dropped. We use to play them in the stores, the And 1 players use to come up for signings, shit was amazing!
Great honest take on the business side of why and how it ended the way it did. The owners wanted to cash out from their investment. They viewed it as a business venture all along, which is not what the players viewed it as, so of course there will be some misunderstandings and hurt feelings. Rafer and the Professor recognized the business component for what it was, while some of the other guys had a harder time separating the game from the business (and no blame to them, because they put in so much into making the brand what it was).
💯 stay Blessed bro!!
I'm from the UK, 37 and And1 was so inspiring and so enticing as i was already a massive basketball fan and loved the US culture and Hip Hop and it was a match made in heaven. The marketing was on point, buy something from And1 and get a free vhs tape, now in England is was really hard to get anything from the states so you would have to order specialised online catalogues or travel into london in the hope that Footlocker had the gear and shoes. I remember watching and1 mixtape 3 for first time as it was so hard to get at time of release and luckily we managed to download the tape from Limewire on 56k modem and it was so good back in those days we would watch the tapes and then instantly get on the court and grab our parents big ass camera and record our own tapes, i even had a uk streetball website i built back in early days of internet, it was so much fun and finding others tapes from others crews like Notic, EBC etc. I still have alot of jerseys from back in the day, but i lost my trash talking tees which i regret loosing but i still have my copy of the DVD they released which had all the tapes on there after purchasing a peice of clothing and still to this day is one of my grails.
Been to a and1 game in phx, az at its heights. Had an autographed towel with Main, Sauce, Sik Wid It, Escalade, Professor, 50 and AO signatures on it. I gotta find it n post it somewhere. Will never forget tht time. Im 30.
Thank you for what you did with And1 and all that you are still doing today. Respect!
I remember when I was around 14, we first got dial-up internet in our house and was limited to 1 hour per day. I spent that hour each day downloading and1 mixtape volume 3 on Kazaa. Every day I could watch a few more seconds that had just buffered. It took around 6 months to download the whole thing. When it was finished, I made my own mixtape on windows movie maker using my favourite highlights, In da Club, and DJ Z-Trip as background music. What a time to be alive
I love how we get to tell our version of the truth on platforms like this by the ones who were involved and not what the media put out there this is what creates change Thank you Professor!
Great review, very enjoyable perspective Professor, class act!
i love all the AND1 crew! u guys are bigger than the NBA for me during my early years! all i watch is AND1 and then came "the Notic" after that i started to watch the NBA because skip 2 my lou... Thanks Professor and AND1 for bringing the exposure to my country! All good things must have an ending
Mr Boucher, thanks for your honest thoughts. I knew somethings were being fudged with too many other perspectives and things being editted. This clears things up a little. Have a great one.
Man, what a time to be alive and a middle schooler / early high school. AND1 Dada shoes and walking to every court possible with a backpack full of cds, a cd player, headphones Gatorade, and a basketball trying to be as AND1 as possible when we played and practiced for hours.
I appreciate your positivity and accepting that life is full of change.
I always looked at And 1 as the hip hop generations version of the Harlem Globetrotters. It was kind of a double edged sword, at one end, it was so much fun to watch. I love And 1 from the bottom of my heart. At the other end, it had alot of players I knew more focused on flash then substance. It's cool to learn tricks, but if your trying to make a league, learn your fundamentals as well.
I used to watch And1 faithfully. My favorite highlight to this day is when the two dudes (can’t remember their names) caught the offensive rebound together and both dunked the ball and broke the backboard!!!! That was iconic
My son is getting into basketball. It’s time to show him the And1 mix tapes. Thank you Professor and the whole And1 crew for shaping a whole generation of basketball players.
