Brian Cardinal : The Custodian Who Kept The Floor Clean
This is a look back on Brian Cradinal's career. Brian Cardinal was never a flashy player on the court but boy could he hustle. Cardinal made a living off of diving for loose balls, taking charges, and being a pest defensively. Earning him the custodian nickname for being on the floor all the time for loose balls cleaning them up with his knee pads. While also having a three-point shot helping spread the floor as a stretch four. Never lighting up a stat sheet yet it was the little things that defined cardinal’s career. An unorthodox one at that not even getting recruited to the school his dad worked at. Having to red shirt his freshman year. Before finding time to shine on the court at Purdue showcasing his effort every time, he hit the floor. Becoming a fan favorite for his effort. Then barely making the NBA as a second rounder. To not long after fall out of the league having to play overseas. Before returning and thriving in Golden State as one of the best three-point shooters in the league on top of providing his toughness. Bouncing around some after before ending up on the Dallas Mavericks who he’d aid in winning an NBA championship.

Moses Malone was from HS before DD.
Not talked about enough
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American and male. In 1990-91, being only 18, after Kevin Duckworth struggled mightily in the playoffs, I naively thought that Clifford Robinson should have played center. Not realizing that he was a thin guy, and more of a SMALL forward, despite his height. It was proven in a 1991-92 game, Portland at Cleveland, Duckworth had an easier time guarding Brad Daugherty (wrestling in the low post) than Clifford Robinson did.
Yep Purvis was my Classmate at Jackson State when I lived in Chicago and Los Angeles I never missed a game.
At one point Sonic guards were Gus Williamds, Dennis Johnson, Fred Brown, and Vinnie Johnson. Crazy.
Scott was like the Klay Thompson of the team it seem
Big T is the boss! Good guy! Amazing player!
dude.... show the stepbacks! that's the title of video. dude was a great sniper as a power forward.
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan.
Joe Dumars next please!
Kevin Garnett's Robin.

When Seattle played in those 2 championship years Fred brown at 31-33 looked like he was abt 44.
my ex's favorite badboy.she was volleyballer and they'd occasionally spruce up offense with subs.
Terrific video, terrific player
Buck's rebounding was phenomenal, but that jump hook of his was unstoppable!
I'm going to say this right now. I thought he was on his way to becoming the greatest small forward in NBA history. That's how good i thiught he was before the injuries.
Didn’t realize how good he was this guy is my basketball coach coming up next season.
How we not gonna talk about how he blocked Kareem shy hook but he’s forgotten?
My favorite all time Pacer. Thanks for the video.
Come back bro😊
I remember him being a physical defender can't find footage of it only offense
Look up his game 7 duel against the iceman
Adonyle Foyle and Erick Dampier wasn't no joke either as Shot Blockers💯
Is it just me, or is there not a single clip of Kiki performing a step-back in this video?
we need more appreciation for previous eras of sports
He had the look and the skills to be an all star. Just not so lucky health wise.
Brian Winters could be an impeccable shooter (if you don't believe me go watch the full three-overtime 1982 game against the Spurs on YT, but it always bothered me that he wasn't as consistent of a shooter as Marques Johnson and Junior Bridgeman. Winters had better range but if I had two seconds on the clock, I'd take Bridgeman or Johnson because of their consistency. That early-80s Bucks team was filled with great shooters.
I love vinnie so much. ❤
Nate Was Actually A Bully!! A Seriously Strong Guy.
He was such a one-dimensional player.
He was such a great player. Top 3 favorite of all time. #22
Does he still do commentary? He was elite.
Eddie The Pistol,beyond cult and legendary status in Greece!
Fast Eddie !!
These aren't downtown Freddy Brown highlights
Winters. Was. Mr Clutch In. The. 80s the Steph. Curry. Of his era
AWESOME. shooter Quinn. Bruckner said. Winters was. A. Better. Shooter than. Larry. Bird I. Agree. Really. Enjoyed him. As a. Bucks. Fan. Thanks for. This

Basketball fans in Cyprus still recall Darrell Armstrong with reverent awe! I don't think that there has ever been such a small man with such a monstrous leap.
MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT PAIGE BUECKERS NOW!!! SHE I MY BUCKET😘😘😘🏀🏀🏀
YES I AGREE!!! I WOULD WATCH AND HAVE A SOCK READY
WOW THAT IS SO INAPPROPRIATE DELETE. THAT. NOW. 😠😠😠
This dude peaked in his rookie year. That’s crazy
That 77-78 team bro... pssshhh
Griffith is one of the greatest college players I’ve ever seen. He was a pure shooter. His NBA career didn’t get enough credit because he was buried in Utah…a team that was never on TV.
Being called the jordan stopper was instantly a curse . Gerald Wilkins was young and didn’t realize they had set him up for failure. This first reporter that called him that should have been slapped silly immediately.
Great biography!
Lifelong cle sports fan here. Big Z will always be loved in Cleveland.
Phil Smith had everything except cool name. Phil Smith gotta be one of the most generic NPC player names ever
VERY STRONG 1 HANDER DUNK VERY SOLID
