Yes, I am aware his name is cotton fitzsimmons. My notes autocorrected it to Connie and I didn’t catch it in the moment. I’m sorry.

Chambers started the ‘87 All-Star Game as a replacement for the injured Ralph Sampson and won the All-Star MVP in front of his home crowd in Seattle.

One of my favorite players at that time unbelievably underrated and 100% deserves to be in the HOF

My Father coached Chambers in high school. He was only 6’2 until a growth spurt between his So. And Jr. Years and played the point guard position. That’s why his handle was so good as a big man. Definately a HOF player.

As a child of 80's NBA basketball, Tom was always appreciated by me. His soaring dunk over Mark Jackson is my favorite of all-time.

I was a Sonics fan and grew up watching Tom Chambers electrify the crowd with his playmaking and iconic slam dunks. He set himself apart from other "big men" with how he could play any position. Tom definitely deserves to be in the hall of fame. Thanks for making this video!

How is Tom Chambers not in the Hall of Fame? That man was a beast.

Tom Chambers was a great player and in the 1987 All-Star Game he made all the other stars look old. It's a shame he is not inducted into the Hall of Fame.

KJ and Chambers were a great duo

Absolutely deserves to be in the Hall Of Fame

I was at the game in Seattle when Tom Chambers won the MVP. Magic kept finding Chambers on the fast break. Chambers was a great running power forward. If he was on the Lakers he would have been considered an all time great.

I was fortunate enough to watch chambers his whole career. He was 6' 10/11 and played like he was 6'4. Best athlete in the league at his size. In my opinion only Larry Bird was a better forward during their time. He also could out jump all the centers in the league.

He would be crushing todays NBA.

Wow. I did not realize Chambers was not in the HOF. This is an embarrassment to the NBA.

Damn. I knew Chambers was a beast and it's a crime that he isn't in the HoF. But that footage of him fading away from the basket and throwing in a 25 foot hook shot was sick. I've been watching NBA ball for 3 decades. I've never seen ANYONE do that.

He is a real good all around player and deserves to be in the hall of fame..😅

Underrated player and should be in the hall.

He was a monster. The fact that he's overshadowed by some of his contemporaries just shows how competitive and top-heavy with talent the league has always been.

Chambers generally played small forward in Phoenix alongside Kurt Rambis who was the power forward.

Tom Chambers should be in the HOF. I remember watching him play, he was good!

the dude could fly! Those reverse slams are a thing of beauty....

He should be a Hall of Famer.

One of the most underrated players of all time.

Tom Chambers!! Dude was nice, could shoot easily the best white dunker, great player. And had that lean in dunk on NBA Live

One of the most Underrated players in NBA history

Yes he is. I saw him play many times. Thanks for the video, very comprehensive and informative.

Tom Chambers - the Flash Gordon of the NBA!

Thanks for the props for my cousin Tom Chambers! He was great.

He was a pure scorer. You could always count on Chambers getting 20 or more. Always enjoyed watching him play. Picked up the tempo of the game whenever he was in. Not much on the defensive side. Guess he figured he'd outscore whoever was guarding him.

National Treasure! Tom was a Beast!

Would have been fun to see the Suns play small ball with him and Barkley. I wonder if they utilized that lineup much.

I always wondered who did that ridiculous soaring dunk! Now I know, and very interesting to know about his career history!

I love Tommy Chambers, put this man in the Hall!!

Imagine how he would be performing in today’s defense-free NBA.

I remember Tom Chambers, he is just like Larry Bird. He could jump, he could shoot but was not in a good team. I remember that jump when he posterize somebody as it his feet is above somebody's head. He deserved to be in the Hall of Fame.

Also- best video game dunk- his unstoppable double pump from the 3 pt line in EA's Lakers vs. Celtics game from back in the day on Sega Genesis.

Thank You for producing and sharing this video. Tom Chambers was one of Best!! Been watching NBA and ABA since I was a kid. Am 67 now. Seen them ALL🤙

Thanks for the good video on an underrated player who deserves more respect.

I saw that dunk go on Mark Jackson.... ... Tom Chamber was great.... Chambers was a horse running at you not stopping..

This was a well executed summary. Yes he deserves the call. That dunk on bird at the garden seals it for me

Like a lot of commenters here who saw his whole career like I did I can absolutely say he is a hall of famer. Tom played in the “Golden Era” of the NBA which was the eighties and nineties and there were so many great players at that time that I believe he got overshadowed when it came to recognizing how truly good he was. Hall of Fame need to correct this glaring mistake.

That dunk alone should get him in the Hall of Fame

He's definitely up there with those that should be highly considered.. His only knock would be defense I think

We had a bent down rim on our schoolyard hoop that we used to say Tom Chambers dunked on .... hometown hero.

His game was really nice!! He deserves the Hall of Fame

I’ll never forget Thee Iconic NBA Live 95 commercial When it has the Chambers clip right in the middle It’s of Him coming down on a fast break & Flying from free throw line and FLYS COMPLETELY OVER another player (a PG) with The 2 HAND JAM❕ 💥 YAMMA❕ E A SPORTS …. If It’s in The Game … It’s in The Game 💪 I think it was Mark Jackson he yacked on but it looked AMAZING Especially in the 90’s He FLEW So White Boy style though ( oxymoron , I know 😄) Legs bent back hella funny and with 2 hands He flys in and YAMMERS on em PiYOW❕ Commercial was So Dope & That’s how I found out about Tom Chambers A 15yo who Loved some NBA But didn’t really know about Tommy yet He’s most definitely MAJORLY UNDERRATED Tom Chambers could ball & He could FLY

Which players like Calvin Murphy and Bernard king being in yes he should

You brought me back to OG Dunking! He had style & hops

Surprised he's not in the HOF. Should be. He was always near the top every season, in his prime years.

He also has the greatest video game dunk of all time. Double pump from the 3 point line. 🤘

The points are nice, but he did that mostly in the first half of his career and he played during the era of the best forwards the league has seen, so it overshadowed him somewhat…however in his prime Chambers was definitely all star level

Chambers! 🏆

He needs to be on we all loved his game

I remember watching him.. he was a scoring machine. One of those kind of players if you were a fan of the opposing team he would get under your skin and you couldn't stand him.. absolutely HOF

20k points, 6k rebounds, an All-Star MVP and some of the best in-game dunks of his era. unfortunately his lack of playoff success will probably keep him out of the Hall.

Watched two of your videos and this is some quality content.

YES!! Get him in there! That's criminal that he's not in the Hall of Fame yet! He definitely deserves to be in there!

I remember playing NBA 1990 game. He was unstoppable in the game and once he got the ball, he would do a monstrous dunk or make 100% of his shots. Everyone wanted to choose him in the game.

Don’t forget his slam dunk championship run. He definitely competed

Well before they put Tom Chambers in they need to put Mark Acguire in first.

He was fun to watch. Not an all-round player like Larry Bird or a great defender like Bobby Jones. He wasn't winning titles like LeBron James. He wasn't charismatic like Charles Barkley. But he could score. From inside and out. He was a ferocious dunker, but could also shoot threes (rare for tall players then). He was real athletic and could run and jump. What hops he had, and he was sensational at his best. I've long wondered, what if Larry Bird had Chambers' ability in addition to his actual skills, smarts, and competitiveness? He might have become the greatest forward of all time, with absolutely no question. But what we had was two great players. Yes, Tom Chambers should be in the Hall of Fame.

Absolutely!! He belongs there!! As a result ofhis BOSTON CELTICS STYLE OF PLAY, of GOING HARD AND PLAYING AND SHOOTING FROM ANY POSITION, HE ABSOLUTELY DOES!!!! IF he were on the Boston Celtics he'd have been in there!!! Earl of El Barrio. NYC,NY. 11:27AM. 9/10/23

I personally think the NBA needs it's own HOF, and not just have a basketball HOF. I also feel it is far too easy to get it. Like Barkley said, "it's the HOF, not the hall of the really good". I don't think Chambers makes the cut personally, but if you are going to have guys like Chris Bosh, Mitch Richmond, and Toni Kukoc in, then Tom definitely deserves to be in. He was much better in the NBA than Toni was

Bro great video, never seen much on Tom before

Great video! I love this era

me and my friends used to record sports center on vhs tape and we would pause that dunk he did over jackson and be like WTF haha, his eyes were level with the rim. He definitely deserves to be in the hall of fame....

The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame has a reasonably low bar for who/what gets in and an unfair bias toward offence over defence. Based on their own examples, Chambers should make it in eventually. As far as him being one of, if not the best scorers to [currently] not be in the Hall, I think there is a lot more than career points per game to be considered.

Enjoyed watching Chambers play in the heyday of the league! We ABSOLUTELY should be in the Hall!

Tom Chambers highlights with Castlevania theme song!!!!! 😂😆🤣😭 I love it!!! ✊🏾 🦇

I grew up in Seattle in the 80s and 90s and was a huge fan of both the Sonics and the Suns. I had a Tom Chambers poster on my bedroom wall, next to Kevin Johnson, Charles Barkley and Dan Majerle. I think he definitely deverves a spot in the Hall of Fame. His biggest detraction, is also his greatest strength. He played in arguably the greatest era of the NBA. He was overshadowed by the Pistons, Celtics, Lakers and the emerging Chicago Bulls, led by a young Michael Jordan. There are tons of guys from that era in the Hall of Fame, who played on those championship teams.... So, a lot of people ask how he measured up against those giants. Well, his numbers were still phenomenal, even in a very tough era of basketball. He just doesn't have the name caché of Thomas and Dumars, Bird, McHale and Parrish, Magic, Kareem and James Worthy, or Barkley, Olajuwon, Drexler, Ewing, Wilkins, Robinson or Pippen... basically the early Dream Team era. That's his only flaw.

Great highlights!

Tom Chambers should definitely be in the Basketball Hall of Fame! It's a shame he is not right now!

I didn't know he wasn't in the HOF he should be Chambers is an Iconic player. Freaky Leaper and sneaky scorer had no Fear.

Fantastic choice of topic, earned a sub.

3:31 a casual no look 3 pt skyhook.. how had I scarcely heard of this man before?

He was a beast. I remember as a kid, as far as white players everything was Bird, Bird, Bird. I use to think, but what about this white guy 😂 Why don't people praise him as much. He also had one of the craziest dunks ever on a video game. I think it was NBA Live '92 on Sega Genesis.

He was the only 20,000 point scorer, for many years, that wasn't in the Hall. Now there are a few others (Antwan Jamison, Joe Johnson, Lamarcus Aldridge, Vince Carter) that may test the validity of that milestone and give Chambers another look at the Hall.

Thanks for bringing up these players. More subs coming!

HOF? YES! I lived in Phoenix in the 80s ans went to several Suns games each year. Id say 80% of the time, he was the mostvexciting player on the floor. I was lucky enough to cee Bird and Jordan play That was most of the 20%.

If Bill Walton is in the Hall of Fame then Tom Chambers definitely should be as well. The same goes for Marques Johnson who people consider the first “Point Forward” in the modern NBA.

I was a big fan of Chambers during his playing days. I would love to see him get into the HOF.

Yes this man belongs in the hall his points alone is incredible

I'd put him in the hall in a heartbeat. But I Live in Seattle. Even so, he was very special.

Tom Chambers is a bad man best Believe. Being a Arizona Native he is still underrated here too.

3:31 You, my friend, are shootin for the Sudan.

Agreed. Should be in the Hall of Fame.

awesome highlights 😎😎

Yes! he deserve to HALL of Fame 😁

El como jugador era muy bueno 👌. Solo que nunca lo an considerado como un excelente jugador. Mi opinión es que era un jugador excelente. Era un jugador de 6 , 10 de estatura, muy buen tiro y rápido donqueador innato. En los deportes se vive mucha injusticia. Yo entiendo que el lo está viviendo. Es una pena, porque el era tremendo jugador.

Should definitely be in the HOF!

Definitely Hall of Fame

A beast on Sega Genesis NBA games

In Laker vs Celtics game he was my cheat code guy double pump dunks all day!

In the Sega Genesis game Lakers v Celtics, Tom Chambers could dunk from one foot inside the 3 pt line with a triple pump dunk. There were many a time when Chambers rained down dunks on my cousin in the wee hours of the night.

He was a monster in the original NBA jams arcade video game.

i'm 51 So i remember this Dude & i'm Very Surprised He's not in. He's right there with the Kevin McHales!!

He needs to be in the hall of fame he's the modern pf dunker who could do it all on the court

1:23 OMG what a dunk!!!

The Mark Jackson dunk gives ew meaning to “above the rim” ! Phenomenal !

Tom Chambers was that dude. I did not know that we was not a HOF. He should be in.
