This is a look back on Rony Seikaly's career. Rony Seikaly was a big man with a soft touch around the rim scoring via post ups regularly because of great foot work. Coupling with his athleticism to get out and run, dunk, and block shots. While rebounding at a high rate. Going onto star at Syracuse leading the team to the national championship game. Before heading to the NBA becoming the first player to play in the NBA from Lebanon. Defying the odds making out of the war-torn country to become a basketball star. And the first draft pick in Miami Heat's History. Being the team’s first building block and franchise player. Developing quickly to become most improved player. Helping the team have its first winning season and make the playoffs. Then heading to the Warriors then the Magic to star alongside Penny Hardaway. Before ending his career with the Nets dealing with foot injuries.

I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American and male. Even during the Sonics' glory days 1993-97, our biggest weakness was rebounding. Well, Rony Seikaly was a double figure points AND rebounds CENTER (back when centers were important), in his prime. I wanted the Sonics to go get Rony Seikaly after the 1995-96 season. He proved himself by scoring a career high 17 points, and grabbing a very solid 9 rebounds, when he followed Shaquille O'Neal in Orlando, in 1996-97. To the tune of "You're not a kid anymore:" His name's Rony Seikaly! His name's Rony Seikaly! Say it: Ro--------ny Seikaly!!

Thoroughly enjoyed this presentation about an often overlooked and underrated big man. Hands down this guy was in a class all by himself. Forgot how dominant he was on the offensive side of the court.Totally forgot how awesome his monster dunks were, thanks again for the highlights.

I have a NETS 2 SEIKALY jersey! Seeing these highlights makes me want to wear that jersey, and do some Rony Seikaly post-up moves!

I’m very surprised that the Heat haven’t retired Rony Seikaly jersey yet, I figured they would one day cause when Bosh played for the Heat, he wear the number 1 jersey instead of number 4. Also before that, Caron Butler wore number 4.

Glen Rice also notable mentions he was their best shooter in Heat history won a ring with the Lakers in 2000, shame he not in the basketball hall of fame or his number retired in Miami.

Glen Rice is severely underrated. Awesome shooting technique, jumping high, arms stretched, high release. Just beautiful.

Seikaly is the third best center in Heat franchise history behind Alonzo Mourning and Shaquille O'Neal. Not just Seikaly could post up, but he could rebound and his career and franchise high with 34 rebounds impress me. I hope you do a video on Junior Bridgeman or Thurl Bailey.

@Renegade-jk4ux 7 ай бұрын

I would counter that by saying Seikaly was actually better as a Heat player than Shaq was with the Heat.

@2383Scorpio 7 ай бұрын

@@Renegade-jk4ux That's your opinion, but the reason why you rank Seikaly over Shaq as the second best Heat center behind Zo was because Seikaly was in his prime and Shaq was a little past his prime.

@donyutejamaica631 6 ай бұрын

@@Renegade-jk4ux, Makes no sense! Shaq was already past his prime in Miami. It would make sense to Compare the players when they’re both in their primes. 🤫

Rony was a really good player I even watched him at Syracuse, crazy story though once a NBA executive said that he wasn’t able to trade for Rony because players on the team didn’t want him to get all the women lol that’s beyond player lol
