I actually remeber watching this tournament and I'll have to admit that mcnamara went absolutely bananas during this tournament he was just scoring at will he just had one of those moments where he just could not miss.
One of the most absurd stretch of games I've ever seen. Dude was like Superman every night in that tournament. I guess that's just how we make em in Scranton
Being from the Scranton area and having watched him play through high school and then at Syracuse, I can't say enough things about him. This video pretty much says them all for me instead.
Gerry McNamara will always be one of my favorite players shooters of all time. I get it he didn’t make it to the nba all that but just from me my heart he will always be one of my favorites. I have watched this highlight for so many years I even showed my younger cousins my niece when I worked with them on basketball showed them this highlight video. My dad and I followed this tournament my sophomore year in high school my dad is the biggest Syracuse Orangeman fan I’ve ever known. I became a Cuse fan because of my dad. We was yelling going crazy watching this crazy Big East Tournament run by Gerry McNamara and Cuse. Always have a special place in my heart watching these games with my dad seeing him go crazy for his team.
Awesome video, been waiting a while for a 2006 big east tourney highlight video. This is real solid, shows how amazing gmac was throughout the 4 game run; he is hands down my favorite cuse player of all-time
Whoa, you own a suite at the stadium? COOL! When the Phillies left, that was it for me. The comment below about the cleaners makes sense if you read it slowly ; ). I was a pretty good ball player so maybe it's me just going through it vicariously for Gerry. It's never over until it's over. I feel that the 76's or a New York team would be a good idea. It may even help attendance and like you said as others have, he is an extremely likeable person. He does leave his heart on the floor ALWAYS!
you can give me every MJ moment, every Wayne Gretzky goal, every Hank Aaron home run, every Jerry Rice catch, every Tiger Woods golf round, and i will remain steadfast. This was the single greatest string of indiviual performances EVER in ANY sport. I remember watching these games, and it send a chill down my spine and brings a tear to my eye every time I see McNamara's buzzer beaters. Syracuse might have won this tournament, but it seemed like G-Mac was the only one on the floor.
Yea I remember watching the 2006 big east tournament, and Gerry Mcnamara had an outstanding performance to lead syracuse to a Big east title. After performing that great, it was a little surprising that he didn't impress professional scouts enough to get drafted that year.
This will be the defining tournament when the Big East folds. Gerry McNamara's performance in those 4 days was something that I have never seen before and seen since. It's a shame that we won't be able to see any more basketball like this from the Big East anymore.
I'm upset that the audio got disabled...this was one of the best videos on UA-cam, with the announcers from the tournament being dubbed in over "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor...very well done and I'd love to have the audio back.
If injuries didn't slow him down, McNamara would've been a top 10 pick in that year's (2006) NBA draft for sure. That would've been awesome. The Knicks (just saying) could've used a pure, play-making, sharpshooter of his caliber.
I'm from Scranton and he's no 5'11". He is a min.6'2", can dunk the ball from a standing position and gives more heart and guts than 95% of pro athletes. If you ever read his NBA scouting report before he played at Syracuse it was excellent. Unfortunately, he was hampered by injuries, most notably a groin injury and if you know anything about that, it really slows down your game. Yes he was let go by NBA teams, mostly at the last cut. He never got a chance though to show his stuff in theNBA
He deserves to be the Head Coach of 'Cuse eventually, congrats to Gerry on being named assisstant coach cant wait 2 see my 1st Syracuse game 2moro against Marquette
probably the best performance in a Big East tourney, i loved watching every minute of these games, however, i still think he took 3 steps in the game winner vs. Cincy
the biggest heart on the court belonged to the smallest guy. he was a great college basketball player and respect to jim for sticking up for his players like that.
@3cusefan I was at that game. I went down on a bus trip from central PA. Then I also travelled to his last home game...seeing those two losses made me fear for what the post season held for Cuse.
I am upset also. I wasn't selling it or giving it away. If anything the artists should be happy that I was promoting their work. People would ask what the name of the songs were and then go and buy them. Oh well, I still have my own copy on my computer.
It's a shame. No one can tell me G-Mac doesn't belong in the NBA. They complain about his height and speed, each actually not a problem. I saw him chase down a point guard who is now in the NBA and knock the ball out of his hands. Can dunk flatfooted. Tremendous Vertical. 90% of games in the NBA he would have contributed. Many records broken by him in Syr.
You don't live in Scranton? I see by your ID that you are a Gmac fan. Did you go to Syracuse or his High School? I think they closed down his High School or they Merged. I'm originallyy from Kingston right across the bridge from Wilkes-Barre and my family moved out here when my kids were young. I never really followed Gerry even though he was in the paper a lot in High School. I started following him during the NCAA tournament and I have been hooked ever since. I can't get enough of him !!!
Actually....if you watch closer (the 5 minute mark to be exact) you see it multiple times from multiple angles. It happens with 48 seconds left in the game if you are getting technical.
Hmm. I live in Scranton and I take my clothes to the cleaners where Gmac's sister's mother-in-law works as well as owns the business. I hear a lot from her as he is part of her family or darn close to it. It's weird and I have told her this, but I feel so bad for him I can't even describe it. I really, really think he deserves more than what he has gotten. I know this doesn't matter but to dedicate your life and be so good in college against so many good players. Super frustrating!
Best moments in Big East History this is funny the uploADER chose this song because im pretty sure this was the main song espn chose for the big east tournament in 2006
They started to play like shit because Gerry was hurt... what made this BET even more incredible was the fact that he was playing through a tweaked hammy that prevented him from playing in the NCAAs. I mean Josh Wright ran the point for most of that game against A&M.
Deeds: Gerry Mac, you know what its like to get riled up. G-Mac: That I do, I love New York I love the sites, but let me show you a side of New York most people dont get to see G-Mac directed to Greg Robinson: "Where did you learn to coach, you're a fucking disgrace!!!!!"
gerrymacfan45, I'm serious, I do not know my way around the intricacies of the site. The only thing I know how to do is post and watch videos. I'm going to sleep so I won't be on until late tomorrow night if all is well. Sorry.
@EliToPlax1017 Well if he was good enough to play in the NBA it would have happened by now. Getting drafted in the second round doesn't mean much, no guarantees.
Sort of have to disagree with you on a couple of points. First, he's a pretty good defensive player and he anticipates well. Notice the steal for a three in the Cinc. game. The Texas semis in 2003 had him stealing two balls as well as other good plays. Certainly a very good athlete but not the best. Most important. He is a winner, a go to guy with high proficiency. I feel sad for Gerry to be honest.
lol i think your a little biased...i didnt even insult him all i said was that he wasn't an NBA type player, which he obviously isnt, or he;d be on a NBA team
Only Gerry McNamara can make a career highlight reel... In one fucking conference tournament.
+ItsWILL7 Legendary bro!
Best individual performance by a player in a conference tournament.
I was there, it was very comparable to Kemba Walker 5 years later...both were amazing and at the hands of my Hoyas.
I actually remeber watching this tournament and I'll have to admit that mcnamara went absolutely bananas during this tournament he was just scoring at will he just had one of those moments where he just could not miss.
One of the most absurd stretch of games I've ever seen. Dude was like Superman every night in that tournament. I guess that's just how we make em in Scranton
Being from the Scranton area and having watched him play through high school and then at Syracuse, I can't say enough things about him. This video pretty much says them all for me instead.
awesome video, you should post it without music and hear the announcers goin wild
Gerry McNamara will always be one of my favorite players shooters of all time. I get it he didn’t make it to the nba all that but just from me my heart he will always be one of my favorites. I have watched this highlight for so many years I even showed my younger cousins my niece when I worked with them on basketball showed them this highlight video.

Best Performance ever! thanks for posting
Thank you!!!! I've been waiting for a good highlight video of this AMAZING performance. You made my week!!!!!!!
Awesome video, been waiting a while for a 2006 big east tourney highlight video. This is real solid, shows how amazing gmac was throughout the 4 game run; he is hands down my favorite cuse player of all-time

great video
thanks for putting this footage together
thanks so much travoose, this was fantastic, great memories!
This song collection fits perfectly. Well done man ..
this was the greatest 4 day span in my life
congrats on making the best youtube video of all time.
you can give me every MJ moment, every Wayne Gretzky goal, every Hank Aaron home run, every Jerry Rice catch, every Tiger Woods golf round, and i will remain steadfast.
This was the single greatest string of indiviual performances EVER in ANY sport.

Greatest video ever posted on UA-cam
great video man
This will be the defining tournament when the Big East folds. Gerry McNamara's performance in those 4 days was something that I have never seen before and seen since. It's a shame that we won't be able to see any more basketball like this from the Big East anymore.
Gerry Mac was a big time clutch player-one of the best to lace up sneakers
thats what i have been looking for
Used to be one of my favorite videos on UA-cam
i am overly critical of gerry but this was absolutely insane, amazing, and incredible
I'm upset that the audio got disabled...this was one of the best videos on UA-cam, with the announcers from the tournament being dubbed in over "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor...very well done and I'd love to have the audio back.
Pearl, General Sherm, and GMac... the best we've had... Johnny Flynn, u got alot of work to do bro.
da relic
awesome job man... really well done. Cuse 4 ever
Shame that the NCAA is taking away these wins, so ridiculous
Dude G-Mac best player clutch player in College Basketball history..should be in the NBA..Scranton fo life brossssssss
doesnt matter bout any other fans except Syracuse... they love him... fukk what everyone else thinks... they'd be happy he was on their team.
If injuries didn't slow him down, McNamara would've been a top 10 pick in that year's (2006) NBA draft for sure. That would've been awesome. The Knicks (just saying) could've used a pure, play-making, sharpshooter of his caliber.
great job man
Panionios funs expects you be the leader of our team!!
Welcome to Greece Gerry, enjoy basketball, panthers-funs support you.
GREATEST PERFORMANCE IN A TOURNAMENT EVER
Best floor general that ever played
I'm from Scranton and he's no 5'11". He is a min.6'2", can dunk the ball from a standing position and gives more heart and guts than 95% of pro athletes. If you ever read his NBA scouting report before he played at Syracuse it was excellent.

He never got a chance though to show his stuff in theNBA
It is unmuted!!!!!!!! Omg Lets Go haha. Haven't seen this in like 2 years cause of muting.
He deserves to be the Head Coach of 'Cuse eventually, congrats to Gerry on being named assisstant coach cant wait 2 see my 1st Syracuse game 2moro against Marquette
One of the most unbelievable displays I've ever seen from an individual. Pissed me off that they beat Cincy, though. :p
probably the best performance in a Big East tourney, i loved watching every minute of these games, however, i still think he took 3 steps in the game winner vs. Cincy
he will get there someday
How Gerry never played in the NBA is beyond me! Quite possibly the greatest college basketball player to never get drafted but thats jus my opinion
the biggest heart on the court belonged to the smallest guy. he was a great college basketball player and respect to jim for sticking up for his players like that.
Tyus Battle's buzzer beater brought me here. And in no way is that depressing.
Where is this in hd????
i soooo miss mista gerry... aww i forget sometines how much i still love him! he's still my hero!
Welcome to Panionios Gerry!!!!!
Panthers for ever!
@3cusefan I was at that game. I went down on a bus trip from central PA. Then I also travelled to his last home game...seeing those two losses made me fear for what the post season held for Cuse.
RIP Big East tournament
I wish people wouldnt feel the need to blast music. Hearing the announcing and crowd go wild is a better experience
You are more than welcome to make your own video.
I am upset also. I wasn't selling it or giving it away. If anything the artists should be happy that I was promoting their work. People would ask what the name of the songs were and then go and buy them. Oh well, I still have my own copy on my computer.
Does anyone know if there is anywhere to get the videos of these games?
It's a shame. No one can tell me G-Mac doesn't belong in the NBA. They complain about his height and speed, each actually not a problem. I saw him chase down a point guard who is now in the NBA and knock the ball out of his hands. Can dunk flatfooted. Tremendous Vertical. 90% of games in the NBA he would have contributed.

"they actually listen to some assistant coaches who i guarantee will never be head coaches" yep boeheim was pissed
NBA material
Actually....if you watch closer (the 5 minute mark to be exact) you see it multiple times from multiple angles. It happens with 48 seconds left in the game if you are getting technical.
G-Mac baby !!!!!!!!!
the one guy Carmelo's missing on the Knicks is right here.
@3cusefan I went down to that game as well. I thought for sure that Syracuse was out of gas at that point and the season was over.
G-Mac baby!
THAT MAN WAS A GOD! GO SU and sry theres no more big east excitment
Hmm. I live in Scranton and I take my clothes to the cleaners where Gmac's sister's mother-in-law works as well as owns the business. I hear a lot from her as he is part of her family or darn close to it. It's weird and I have told her this, but I feel so bad for him I can't even describe it.

There’s needs to be a 30 for 30 on this weekend of games
Best moments in Big East History this is funny the uploADER chose this song because im pretty sure this was the main song espn chose for the big east tournament in 2006
Scranton's finest!
Man he had a pretty shot.
you bleeped out the best part
great coach jim boeheim
hey whats the2nd song in this?
They started to play like shit because Gerry was hurt... what made this BET even more incredible was the fact that he was playing through a tweaked hammy that prevented him from playing in the NCAAs. I mean Josh Wright ran the point for most of that game against A&M.
what is the first song
I did it that way for a reason.
Gmac was one of the best players for the cuse
one of the best big east tourneys i ever watched, but... i luv wha G-Mac did but, he did take 3 steps in that final shot against Cincy, lol
I stood next to him, he is no 6'2, he is 6 foot
sick ass video! he shouldve gotten drafted
Deeds: Gerry Mac, you know what its like to get riled up.
G-Mac: That I do, I love New York I love the sites, but let me show you a side of New York most people dont get to see
G-Mac directed to Greg Robinson: "Where did you learn to coach, you're a fucking disgrace!!!!!"
g$...should've gotten into the NBA
make a new video using the old game tapes ahha
gerrymacfan45, I'm serious, I do not know my way around the intricacies of the site. The only thing I know how to do is post and watch videos. I'm going to sleep so I won't be on until late tomorrow night if all is well. Sorry.
@aaroncuse315 now its unmuted brah
best player to not make it to the league. Really sad.
@skankuser couldnt have put it better my friend.
Where did youy stand next to him and it's a "she says he says" at this point anyway.
Stone Cold Killa
He didn't get drafted because he wasn't showy enough. You need to be showy for the NBA. It's all about the money.
Who's run was better Gerry or kemba?
Gerry because he did it while injured. If you factor in NCAA tourney as well then Kemba.
no cuz then he picks up the ball on the ministep
he shoulda left with melo after his freshman year rolly betr chance of makin rto the nba
it is funny you say that cause the same thing happened to me and my buddy! haahah! i have no clue why he is not in the NBA
Go ahead and make your own if you don't like the music or turn down your volume, you stupid ass.
@EliToPlax1017 Well if he was good enough to play in the NBA it would have happened by now. Getting drafted in the second round doesn't mean much, no guarantees.
Sort of have to disagree with you on a couple of points. First, he's a pretty good defensive player and he anticipates well. Notice the steal for a three in the Cinc. game. The Texas semis in 2003 had him stealing two balls as well as other good plays. Certainly a very good athlete but not the best. Most important. He is a winner, a go to guy with high proficiency. I feel sad for Gerry to be honest.
Great video, but why the silly hip-hop music? Sports are dramatic enough. The music is a distraction, not an enhancement.
That's unfortunate....
lol i think your a little biased...i didnt even insult him all i said was that he wasn't an NBA type player, which he obviously isnt, or he;d be on a NBA team
he was a great college player but he just didnt have what it takes to be in the nba...he's had several chances and been cut from several teams.
he takes a mini step then 2 more. it is a travel.
No its not. Same concept as a layup
