I'd be happy as hell especially if NBA superstars where hitting there one on one moves on me for a job. Now if I was defending them in a actual game I'd be getting pissed that players are scoring on me so easily.
KD game is so smooth, it's crazy. Melo might be the best all around scorer in the league. He can take you all levels. Inside, outside, mid range, off the triple threat.
The crazy thing about Melo's game is that the defender can be playing great D, but It's irrelevant. His challenge is internal. That's why he's such an unstoppable FIBA player- all he has to worry about is scoring mindlessly.
I mean yeah your gonna score when you shoot as much as he does he isn't efficient enough though. Don't get me wrong he's still a great player but sometimes just takes stupid shots cuz he wants to score too much.
nicksmith1123 agreed. he'll make impossible looking shots and you'll say to yourself "he's the only player who can make that shot" then he'll miss several of those same types of shot in a row and you'll say "he's the only player dumb enough to keep taking those."
I think you're confusing league play with FIBA play. He's not a perfect player, especially when he's the only real threat on the team. But if all he has to do is score, even the tough shots look pretty good.
always funny when people think guys in the NBA cant shoot, in a NBA game vs NBA defense with NBA pressure yeah they can miss. but just fucking around in pratice there all 70%+ shooters
just as everybody apparently overlooks Curry's traveling on his very first move.. shuffling his feet like crazy but i guess its cool coz he's everybody's darling etc
All i wanted was something like this for 2024. Cause this really the version we thought we were getting - but who knows. 2024 might be better than what this was. Side note, I miss Oladipo man. He had so much potential. All NBA 3rd team, All Defenseive 1st team.
well, id like to think its a product of terrible management and ownership. i just hope phil takes things around. james dolan is a special kind of fuck up, like really.
What part of ownership? He's a player. His role is to play basketball and make decision based on his career and family's well being. You seem to think that players all think about is winning. News flash it's their career and it's a short lived one at that.
Its a skill as opposed to all the dunking and other stuff that is just athleticism. I can make that same layup though lol, so maybe Im biased because people always comment are amazed by it, just too lazy to learn how to master it
terry andre I'm not attacking you, but he's only 30. MJ, Kobe, VC, even Richard Jefferson did crazy dunks over 30 yrs old. That is not the age when players start to decline. Lebron is clearly out of his prime athletically because he's too bulky.
Breathe721 I agree.....but idk he seems more athletic then all of them when they hit that age. Especially for the minutes he's logged in the past 5 years!
john doe I'm not gonna say steroids bra lol but reverse windmills at age 30 lmao come the fuck on and like its nothing! He's not as athletic as he use to be but damn I thought the fall off would be a little bit harder......and its non fucking existent!...……he still plays 35 plus mins and is a one man fastbreak! I mean damn! Playoffs 30ppg 10rps and 6apg.……and they say he's past his prime lmao
Wow you're so cool. Yeah there's people that can also sometimes hit fadeaway jumpers, dunk, or do nice dribbles in middle school but that doesn't mean they're not impressive.
+peeeMamo I didn't say it was super impressive, I just said it was ridiculous. Ridiculous, as in crazy/silly/funny. I didn't say "ridiculously awesome skills omg!". I'm sure anyone who practices a day and already has some basketball skills can figure it out. But I enjoyed it as some variety to break up the video. Y'all are reading too much into shit and just salivating to criticize.
@@uomociolla2003 Yea it is easy. You just have to hold the ball on your finger tips and make sure your palm is facing forward than twist your hand to the right, that will give the ball the spin it needs to get in the rim.
Yes me. I would watch this being much younger as motivation i would play basketball so much even in the rain and I just gave up on it because of my. Height
@@Htx713eseseseses just like most I used to play to the music and seeing Steph curry..... Don't ever quit anything else in life go through it... And study the art of TRADING you will be rich forever
Curry, Kyrie, and CP3 are all exciting to watch. I feel like they exhibit much more skill with play making and compensating for lack of height & strength.
That move Melo performed at 1:00 is basically how Kobe has killed people on the block his entire career. Double team coming from the middle, spin baseline, fadeaway, buckets all day!!!!
Anyone just come back to this video from time to time?
+old champagne Yah it's oddly relaxing...
lol yea , this jawn lit bro
The song and awesome video brings me back every time
OMG I thought I was the only one but yeah every time
yup
I'm watching this again in honor of USA basketball starting back up and alot of the same faces in this mixtape are playing. It should be fun 🏅
This will forever be one of the most legendary mixtapes ever! Everytime I see this now I smile and think about the old days 😢
how can anyone not love basketball?
I like polo

Kenneth9725 its like this track was made for this video
Kenneth9725 it’s not like they edited it to fit the music or anything.....
Dude man, pros are no joke lol. Melo was so freaking smooth
I was thinking the same thing. Melo got some iso footwork for that ass!
yup thinking the same thing. came here for steph and cp3 but melo had me in awe.
Especially that shot my Melo at 0:47. How did he get that in...
ye boi
+Jay Seps 0:47 melo got put on lock... he just went over him

I'm shocked Draymond *didn't* miss

watching melo hit those shots with that hand in his face is like art
This whole video is art L

His footwork is eeeeeeeehhhh

TheBluv12 I think that could be said about pretty much everyone featured in the video save D Jordan.

This video always helps me remember my love for the game. None of the lame talk show agenda shit, just pure hooping. The game so beautiful man.

Unreal aura from this era - gonna be tough to replicate
Straight up bro, this era was peak 2010s nba. Pre-GSW durant, bron and Kyrie still at the cavs, melo at the knicks etc good times it was :(

It sounds like you said he cant guard you neither

Legit basketball peak in a video. Been watching this since it dropped. So beautiful
always funny when people think guys in the NBA cant shoot, in a NBA game vs NBA defense with NBA pressure yeah they can miss. but just fucking around in pratice there all 70%+ shooters
Except Jordan😅
Except maybe Shaq and his free throws
A lot of Basketball players can shoot in an open gym setting. Not just NBA players.
Dwight Howard shot like 82% from the free throw line at a Lakers practice a few years back.
+Christian Bebee yes but a lot of people have this misconception that they can't ahoot
that oladipo off the wall dunk was crazy
this beat is fire
This is one of my favorite videos
Love going back to this whenever I can! Appreciate the video, amazing stuff! Just reminds me how much I love Basketball
Nostalgia's hitting hard !
Everything about this video is perfect. Been cherishing it for damn near a decade now
This video is classic. I remember when it dropped. Time flies. 2024 anyone??
So we all just gone ignore Kyrie's magic trick at 1:02
Not me
his glass game is best in nba
best crossovers too
just as everybody apparently overlooks Curry's traveling on his very first move.. shuffling his feet like crazy but i guess its cool coz he's everybody's darling etc
+almightyIrie lol u mean everybody hates curry now
NBA at its peak
It’s 2019 and I still love this video, too Elite 🔥
Who’s here after team USA started their practice for the Olympics?
Came back to watch for the same reason. the nostalgia be hitting hard in this video, the league was so peak back then
All i wanted was something like this for 2024. Cause this really the version we thought we were getting - but who knows. 2024 might be better than what this was.
Side note, I miss Oladipo man. He had so much potential. All NBA 3rd team, All Defenseive 1st team.
Who else loves the hoopmixtape instrumentals?
THIS IS A CERTIFIED HOOD CLASSIC
that move curry pulled off throwing it through the guys legs and getting it back for a stepback 0:09
is not a travel if u look closely he didnt hold the ball with two hands in the first step
wxnqxng ya his pivot foot
Look how far he slides while pivoting lol a sneaky travel
Stephback*
Word that move was nasty
I come back to this video at least once a week. So dope.
I still do since it came out
makes me happy to see melo on the floor again, hes got a lot to prove to all those who doubt
He had 3 years to do that nobody expect anything from melo or the Knicks anymore lol
well, id like to think its a product of terrible management and ownership. i just hope phil takes things around. james dolan is a special kind of fuck up, like really.
+LiqCharles as long as you're talking about Melo's part in that ownership, we good.
What part of ownership? He's a player. His role is to play basketball and make decision based on his career and family's well being. You seem to think that players all think about is winning. News flash it's their career and it's a short lived one at that.
LiqCharles Nobody ever doubted what Melo could do, they doubt what the team could do.
had to rewatch that Kyrie spin layup 10 times!
ONE OF THE GREATEST UA-cam BASKETBALL VIDEOS OF ALL TIME
Happy I’m not the only person that comes back to this often, instant classic!
how the hell did that layup by kyrie go in lol
He put hella spin on the ball
Shit was fye asl and it was back handed
Best finusher ive ever seen just complete ball control
its the English
It's called jelly, he put a spin on the ball away from the rim and it just goes in
Miss when mixtapes were like this
I love watching all the best nba players play together. They all seem like good friends too
KD is a better scorer than Melo. Facts you can't argue with.
yea now he is

Good times when this dropped
this is my fav video of steph... he makes it look so easy... and fun.
Kyrie had the best highlight.
Lol it's crazy how fascinated people are by putting english on a layup
joeyshockey It's not easy
Its a skill as opposed to all the dunking and other stuff that is just athleticism. I can make that same layup though lol, so maybe Im biased because people always comment are amazed by it, just too lazy to learn how to master it
I mean I can do that layup too but still.
+FuccYoFeelings it's not that hard where you need someone to prove with a video lol I can make that too with both right and left hands
one of the best videos till this day
deandre's first dunk was SICK
1:16 Chris Paul move was beautiful
Yes it was
Did Green beat Curry in a 3pt Shootout? WOW!
Did you not see the distance Curry was shooting from?
I wish Kawhi and Draymond could shoot like that in an NBA game, though.
Not my definition of "killing it".
If Draymond's been "killing it" from downtown this season, then how would you describe the way Steph has been shooting the three ball?
...and everyone else in the league shooting the three ball better and more frequently than Draymond for that matter?
This is a legendary video
The song name :Oskar Mike-Fancy
Thanks
this video always gets me shook
Someone tell lebron he's in his 30's and shouldn't be doing dunks like that!.......Jesus it's like his athletic abilities never fall off!

Lebron has amazing DNA which why he's Big well one of the reason! See like KD eats and workout still big tall toothpick like me!
6 years later, iam still here. Thank God.
Can't wait for 2024 end of an era Team USA-
Curry, Harden, James, Durant, Davis, Zion, Khawi, Tatum, Klay, Dame, Kyrie, PG, Booker, Jaylen Brown, Kat.
this brought a tear to my eye. so damn beautiful in motion
and the music syncs up perfectly
0:37 - 0:40 Ball rotation was PERFECT even through the net!
Still the most chill and satisfying basketball video ever.
1:47 So we are not gonna talk about that shot damnn
The best part was Irving's ridiculous spin layup at 1:01
+Trent Diamanti Really? We used to do that shit in middle school.. early-90s bruh.

This is the best mixtape I have ever seen. And UA-cam recommended me that 5 years after
this is the perfect marriage between a dope beat & athleticism...
Steph cheering from the baseline everytime somebody makes a shot
YOU CANNOT GET BETTER TEAMMATE
I miss these type of mixes
lebron watching all curry's shots and saying "got em" with every shot cause he knows its going in

Prime hoopmixtape days I miss it 🔥🔥
That's just incredible. All that talent in one gym. #2016RIOGOLD
Kawahi was going toe to toe with curry at the end with those threes. Dude is mad underrated.
5 years later and still amazed at how well the music fits
The smoothness is just so perfect with the moves it just feels so unreal how the editing and the basketball moves seem to sync
Dat layup by kyrie tho 😳😱
2021 anyone?
Yup. Realizing why Blake and DeAndre game never develop and why I don't see Kenneth in the league. Everyone shooting dudes practicing dunking.
That's very unfair to Blake.
He developed into a very solid shooter at Detroit. Something like 36% on 8 attempts from three.
Still come back to this video , and I first watched it in highschool 😂
2:35 Kawhi is happy
Curry, Kyrie, and CP3 are all exciting to watch. I feel like they exhibit much more skill with play making and compensating for lack of height & strength.
Put this video in the hall of fame
I come back to this video from time to time, there’s just something about it
Me too

S/O to all the people dodging Curry's fire highlights just so they won't look like bandwagons lol
that mini travel at 0:08 lol
hiilikeair lmao all these years later I just peeped that 😂😂
Bruh this is why i love basketball. This is tough.
That move Melo performed at 1:00 is basically how Kobe has killed people on the block his entire career. Double team coming from the middle, spin baseline, fadeaway, buckets all day!!!!
Just like Jordan taught them!
yall sleeping on that victor oladipo highlight
Definitely my favorite mixtape.
These Steph highlights aged like fine wine
