Yep, specifically ankle weights. He'd put them around his wrists and practice spinning the ball towards a wall aiming for target after target. For hours and hours, days, weeks, months, years. Total dedication.

@@3toobular So cool

It was big leather gloves not grocery bags lol

@@billwatson5400 Work gloves, possibly leather with intention to increase his quickness and touch. Don't know the size nor the material but leather is likely. This came straight from his "The Life" by ESPN.

White Chocolate baby

This one right here...I was in the 8th grade.. ESPN was a necessary everyday after school and every morning before getting on the bus!

Kinda surprised by the Rondo love considering he hasn’t been a top 50 guard in the last decade of his faltering career

@@hittz2581 lorge fax. If the tv was on, SC was on. Stuart Scott, Kenny Mayne, Dan Patrick, absolute peak espn!

@@hittz2581 Hell Yes. You knew you were gonna get at least 1 top ten the night after J Will and Carter played.

Back then even the homecourt fans cheering on what they do

🛑 Career stats…. 39% FG 32% 3P 5.9 Assists Underrated???? He was mediocre at best as a PG.

@@ILJzzFan Because stats are so much more entertaining to watch than actual play styles. True, his numbers aren't special, but he put butts in stadium seats and eyeballs on television screens. This highlight tape shows why.

@@chrisfuller2069 the thread was on him being underrated. He was flashy and erratic but overall mediocre as a PG. I’m sure he put butts in seats but that doesn’t mean he was a quality PG. two way different things

@@ILJzzFan I already addressed your point with my comments about his stats. Im not sure why you came here to just be redundant. Ask yourself why you feel defensive that some rando on the internet wants to support this guy and call him underrated.

top 5 all time point guard ,if not for the lakers they would have won at least one championship

I'm from West Virginia, and about 2 hrs. south of where Williams and Moss grew up. I was at the state tournament in Charleston and watched both of them ball! They played for Dupont HS and I saw them beat Beckley-Woodrow Wilson in the quarters. White Chocolate was displaying his handles and assists, but it was Moss that put on a show. At the time, I thought Randy was going to be their biggest basketball star, until he went to ND and then transferred to Marshall and became a gridiron legend at WR. Dupont went on to win the title that year in hoops and I was so glad I was there, because I knew that they were going to be future stars in the League; you could see the skillset. Believe it or not, I also was playing playground ball back in the day in the Hampton Roads area, not far from Virginia Beach; where I was living at the time and played against a flashy point guard with a crossover from hell that would break your ankles! He was still young at the time, but I was lucky to have played against Allen Iverson. Sorry to bother you, but I saw your comment and thought you might like this story.

Moss was a SG he wasn't big enough to be a PF at 6-5 200

still the greatest commercial ever; 3 legends: Waylon, Randy, and Jason.

A guy named Bobby Howard went there too with them. He went to Notre Dame and while he only played a coupe of seasons in the NFL it is wild to imagine that kind of talent concentrated in that small community in the 90s.

​@@dwightlove3704you're incorrect, my friend. I, too, played basketball in WV and due to the low population we have for the east coast (1.5 mil) we don't have a lot of tall hoopers here. Most high school teams here make do with a 6'5" C, but they were from one of the largest schools in the state so they probably had one guy taller than Randy. Hell, I'm 6'1" and I played inside A LOT just because I had longer reach and oddly good rim protection abilities for my size. B-ball here is different when you only have 200 or 300 kids to a school, and play single A ball. Dupont was triple A.

Kings were fun to watch. But there was a team with Kobe & shaq that I’d argue was the most fun to watch

Facts 💯. The Kings were so fun to watch in those days. Also the Raptors when they had Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady.

Sad how far they’ve fallen lol

@@harrisonveirs It didn't help that the old owners were unwilling to do anything for so long, then tried to sell the team year after year.

That was my favorite team as a kid man . They got robbed in the playoffs by the refs

I love a lot of sports, but basketball to me is the most entertaining to watch. its so many “did you see that” moments in basketball.

Crazy thing about Pistol, is that he only played *10 seasons* due to injuries, and is still one of the top 75 of all time, and a HOF. Let that sink in. Probably the greatest college player ever. Those records will never be broken, unless top talent start to reconsider the NCAA again.

Stop it, Jordan and a.i have the most jersey sales

@@scottmoreau3584 how old are u?

@@eauj 49. I saw j will’s whole career. He wasn’t even an all star. You young kids see his 30 second highlight reel and think he was burning people

@@scottmoreau3584 am 40+ myself and i still see people don them 55s til now.

@@scottmoreau3584 But he still had the most jersey sales at a point? I think you a bit slow :(

. For the age group right above you, Dr J’s behind the basket scoop shot created the same reaction.

Feels yep

So true! lost count of the times we had to retrieve the ball from out of bounds because of the elbow pass attempts! hahahaha

I was there in the arena when he did it. Wild

@@celsocabauatan8216 as a Blazers fan in the NW, I miss this era. Basketball on the West Coast was alive- Lakers and Kings were the top two. Blazers were at least competing. Sonics were still in Seattle and the Grizzlies were still in Vancouver. I miss the late 90’s/early 2000’s NBA

4 Real they be so spot on to his target its wild

@@four6106 its like some of those passes would be impressive dimes if they were just normal passes.

I still remember when he put up that triple double with 38 points on us. (Uk)

A 6'1" white dude got drafted in Rd 1 then started immediately for a reason. BTW, he was also Randy Moss QB in HS and won "player of the year" one time, playing on the same football team as Randy. True story. That's an athletic white boy right there.

Co-sign. Hakeem's highlights are smooth af.

The Dream was a nightmare even for Shaq, Robinson, Ewing, so many great 5's back then but this one torched all of them.

It’s not 2010. Hakeem hasn’t been overlooked in over A decade

Not really overlooked. Moses Malone is. He was better than Kareem in the 80s.

Completely agree top 3 Center ever and close my TOP 5 period, his Blocks, Steal, points, Reb, BBALL IQ and when Jordan retired 2 years Hakeem won back to back titles

The first was Bob cousy.

*Bob Cousy

Kareem is unequivocally the greatest scorer of all time… college, pro, whatever

Both of you are white. No white man innovated ball handling.

Their you forgot earl the pearl

@@specialk4125 I can name 30 people doing that.

🌽

@@TheIcemanthomas name them

@@TheIcemanthomas lol this idiot …. You know 30 white guys that could do this???? Guarantee you’re googling and watching KZfaqs videos to find some 😂😂😂 Because when Jordan, Shaq, Lebron say there was no one like him, there was no one like him

@@TheIcemanthomas no you can't

I loved CWebb since the Fab 5 days. JWILL was like if Eminem played basketball.

I used to kill mf with that kings in NBA live 98

Peja and the bald short guard, i can't remember his name, plus Vlade Divac kings were serious

@@pacmanLINY tony delk or Jon Barry

@@ojlott-w4n Bobby Jackson

No love for Big Nasty.

There was a couple of years there where Peja was off the hook. I saw him in a game against the Clippers where he was like 19/20, had something like 45 and sat the whole 4th quarter. Unreal.

He turned the ball over too much and was a bad defender

He didn’t invent them. He used playground and Harlem globetrotter moves. He brought the to the pros tho. And magic didn’t pattern his game after pistol. He took inspiration from him.

@@TheIcemanthomas One thing I will never do is take basketball knowledge seriously from someone named CP Goat 😭😭😭

PISTOL PETE MARAVICH - BEFORE HIS TIME > SCORING AND PASSING

Facts! Pistol is the Inventor!

@@caliber693 haha CP3 to C2

Sure you did buddy🤣🤣👌

@@colbymasvidal2397 why would someone lie about playing college basketball in 2022. It can be easily looked up...

@@kennyfleck8630 high school, but I get your message.

@@kennyfleck8630 A whole pack of lies coming from nerds and virgins

@@colbymasvidal2397 ok, he and Keith Veney who was friends with a high school teammate of mine Anwar McQueen who played at Cal. Played 2-2 full court often because they both were sitting out their first year at Marshall(Jason left to Florida once Donovan got the coaching job there) and I played most of those games with them. Keith is famous for having the NCAA record for 3 a game at Marshall. Look it all up.

I live in Orlando. Had no idea he lives here. I used to live in the same building as some of the short contract Magic players, they'd rent the penthouses on the top floor but the hoops were on the 7th, right below my balcony. They used to go down there play pickup games and cookout. It was unreal how good even mid level NBA players are seeing them play like that. Was like watching some super heroes play basketball. They hit every shot when ungaurded. I mean EVERY shot. Saw one hit like 15 3s in a row like nothing, talking to somebody the whole time he was doing it. Names I remember were JJ Reddick, Ryan Anderson, Big Baby Davis, another dude who wasn't even in the NBA but played for a top D1 school. He could even hit threes like you've never seen and was 6'6"/6'7". Have some pictures saved in the cloud somewhere. It was an experience I'll never forget. They were that good.

That era of the Kings had some all time lineups. Hugely innovative and influential.

Rising stars not all-star

Skip to my Lou played pro

Yezzir my fellow Houstonian 👏🏼

You guys could also watch the documentary they did on that kings lakers series... HBO also did a good documentary Courtship of Rivals about Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.

man i was in HS when JWill came up.

^^ this guy knows what's up

Yes, a must watch

Facts

And my Gen X'ers did the same damn thing when we were in college.

@@Hooderaw Wow, who knew they had YT back then. Guess you learn something new every day!

@@tubiviral9093 why would you need yt to debate the greatest? You can still say Jordan, magic, Kareem, we’re greater than wilt or bill without ever seeing them play. People really live their life by KZfaq 😂

@@surf972 What on earth are you babbling on about?! No, you cannot debate who the greatest was without ever having seen said players actually play, which was the point that went over your head. Well, technically you can, but it would be about as useful as getting self help advice from a 10 year old.

I love how the older generation expects the younger generation to watch black and white footage in order to debate sports. I guess TubiViral has never participated in a baseball or football debate over the greatest of all time, unless he has very rare footage of older games from those sports. Of course, it really doesn't affect the status of players when youngsters debate on who they think is the greatest, And some fans will always choose their favorite player when discussing current greatest, even though they haven't watched every game, so they haven't even seen every player except for highlights. Damn, can't discuss history, since I wasn't alive during the world wars, wait a minute, some history teachers weren't alive either, his can they teach it.....hey guys, stop discussing things that didn't happen in your lifetime too. How can you compare any current recession to the great depression? You weren't there, man.

Pistol learned it from cousy
