In this clip, Rafer Alston talked about his experience with the Milwaukee Bucks and having more appreciation for his time there. Rafer discussed briefly being out of the league but learning the politics of the NBA during that time. He also revealed how pivotal two 10-day contracts were for his career taking off.
In this clip, Rafer Alston talked about his time playing for the Miami Heat and having the opportunity to be teammates with Dwyane Wade and Lamar Odom. Rafer then talked about landing his first and only major deal that was worth $30 million over 6 years (incentives included) with the Toronto Raptors.. He also discussed calling Jalen Rose a terrible teammate but admitted the tension was reciprocal. - Розваги
Rafer needs a 30 for 30 episode ASAP! Street legend turned NBA pro.. man that joint will be tough! 😤
It's Rafer.
Street legend
College player
NBA Pro
Put some speck on his name
@@Lettersfromhome18 thanks
@@GoldenChild88888 You're welcome bro.
He made it without all the POLITICAL SHIT
People don’t understand, for us Skip/And1 fans we was checking those stats daily when he was signing those 10 day contracts, it meant everything to us
Facts💯
Me and the homies were talking about Skip like he was the MJ of street ball
hahaha right! I always kept up with skip.
Who didn't look up to Skip? Vol 1 was the truth the only streetball legend to play in the NBA finals salute big dog
hes a scrub
@@juanshaftpatel7488, go play him then
Rafer’s life stories would make for a fire series to watch. 💯
Agreed
he was working on that..50 too busy so he walked him in the door with someone else who can lead production
Deff Netflix
Word 💯
My life would to!
Always wished we could of voted Alston in a All Star Game once. Because he was made for the NBA All Star Game. Any year
I used to vote for him every year lol
Jamal crawford too
@@ejc6394 I was always saying that too especially when he was playing with the Knicks and even though they always sucked He was killing those years and he belong in the All-Star game cause his ridiculous moves he was crossing everybody up in the league at that time and he was doing moves people never seen like that behind the back dribble and then wrap it around his back move …that shit was cold as fuck
@@Flawless_VicTory13 I did too.
@ New Suge He wasn’t the first. Really ain’t street tho. Dr j, Kareem, Wilt, n Earl Monroe, n a whole bunch of other dudes, are considered street.
This cat is cool as hell!! Rafer bought me and my brother a drink in a club called The Office back in 2007 in Houston,TX. Dude was genuine and cool.
My city🤘🏼
@@doeplu4553 mine too!!!!
🧢
The Office was a nice spot!
@@andrewjordan5475why would he lie about skip buying him a drink lmao
I like that he said he wasn’t secure enough with a 1 year contract so he couldn’t spend time trying to hang out with people. He had to focus on his job
Had no idea Escalade was Mark Jackson's brother. RIP....
Yes indeed,I remember when he was at Louisville
I didn't know that either until he passed.
Now that was said. He sure look like him a bit.
Never knew that they do look a like doe
Neither did I. I see it now
Rafer was shooting 3’s from deep on the Rockets and Magic. Go watch the Orlando vs Lakers series Rafer was killing it he was Skip on the floor that Kobe had to guard him. Then that goof of a coach benched him for Jameer Nelson who just came back from an injury. One of the dumbest moves as a coach I was so pissed.
I remember that bs, the Orlando Magic had the momentum all throughout the playoffs & that dumb coach made that stupid move & put jameer Nelson in the Lakers' series & the series took a turn.
💯
Van Gundy was a joke. It wasn't just move though he went back to running the offense through Howard. GM Otis Smith had assembled a group of snipers.
Rafer was on fire is the '09 finals!
RIGHT!! Skip held it down when Jameer was out, who was hella nice as well… but to fuck up da rhythm like dat man smh… durin da PLAYOFFS smhhhh
Lot of respect I've gained for Rafer from his interviews. Great, intelligent insight and a very interesting perspective.
This guy Needs to be a Broadcaster💯He reminds me of Kenny Smith the way he talks.
Never saw this, yes u are right
I remember Rafer played for my city Mobile Alabama....Salute Rafer on his underrated career
I don't remember 😮
“Hard on for him” @10:48 PAUSSSSSSSSE SON!!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣
I just checked to see if anyone else caught that
@@lousbasementpodcast1821 haha def caught that
Y’all never heard that term before used with that meaning?
Yeah by my 85 year old Grandfather, even he said "Pause"though
@@williebond9320 it’s still a pause statement
He seems like a really COOL Brother.
TMAC once said the dude cracks joke way too much even when he got injured. Ron artest told him to calm down n leave Mac alone. He was tryna cheer him up. You can tell dude is amazing
The interview I didn’t know I needed! Much respect!
RIP Escalade, legend.
Skip just seems like such a good guy bro….good story….such a humble human….legend
Modest*
Agreed.
A Great Interview. I can’t believe I’m on social media? It was Refreshing to hear a Person So Humble, So Sincere, and So Uplifting of others. Skip or Mr. Alston, Blessed Me with His Energy 🙏🏾
I was so caught up in the and1 scene back in the day, SkipToMyLou was my favorite player, when he went pro I was like holy shit he’s about to light it up. It’s crazy to see the difference between pro and semipro
I was a hot sauce guy myself lol
I hope he asked him about slapping Eddie houses headband around. Eddie was cookin that game. 😂😂
Man that was the funniest shit ever, the slow mo replay made it even crazier 😂😂🤯🤯
Lol I remember that shit that was wild
He was mad at Eddie...I ain't never seen a player get so mad at another player for having a good game...
@@JoshieGymGod man hearing Eddie's response to it was funny as shit to, they asked what happened and he summed it up to "I was bustin that ass"
he did and RIP Eddie and Escalade!
This is a great interview.
Dude just grinded. Much love
Dudes humility is refreshing 💯
Met skip 1x in Minnesota one year when I was out there.... he is an extremely humble in person
That first year Skip had in Toronto that he's talking about is also the same year Vince Carter was angling to get out of there and was ultimately traded to New Jersey in December of 04. It was a rough year on all of them
Rafer was the shit. The guy who got me into streetball as a kid. Always rooted for him in the league.
CLASSICK STORY!!!!!
I remember those MILWAUKEE teams. I know SKIP learned to shoot better with SAM, RAY RAY AND BIG DOG!!!!
RIP TO THE LEGENDARY ESCALADE TROY JACKSON!!!
Rafer Alston was Skip to my Lou in my eyes during his whole NBA career.
Skip to my Lou a Fresno State legend! Loved you back when you played for Tark the Shark
That documerary was great!
Shout out to the AND 1 CREW!...RIP ESCALADE!
Rafer Alston and Shotty look the same
Lol don’t let conscious x see this
😂😂
😂😂😂
It wouldn't shock me if they're related lol
@@williefaulker if they are we will find out in part 16
Good content and great honesty... Sometimes we forget how our mentality contributes to creating bad relationships.
It’s a clear consensus…. The street baller who made it!! The streets need that 30 for 30
The Streets Need a Body also
Nice interview, thanks indeed
Great Interview!!!!!
The legend mr chi city mane!
ITS THE LEGENDARY CHI CITY MAYNEEE!!!
I agree
Bout to visit the Chi next month. Much love from Philly 💯
Yoooooo Mr. everything on the dolla menu Mr. keep your fridge stocked
Wow dude knows how to hold onto his money. Made 28 million, is worth 24 million, a lot of players are worth about a tenth of their biggest contract after being out of the league for a few years. Good for him.
You actually looked up his career earnings? You the problem. Stop pocket watching
@@ShadowbannedbyUA-cam that pocket watching thing is only things broke people say
Antoine Walker made over $100M and was broke soon after he was out of the league
@@dagobert1234321gambling is crazy because you can have all the money in three world and still gamble it all the away. The stakes just get higher and you can lose it so fast.
@@ShadowbannedbyUA-camexactly
Wowwww
Legendary Lenny Wilkens gave Skip AShot
Salute
I love the positive vibes from this brother
This man crossover was deadly
This man and Jamal Crawford are the guys I loved watching the most. Sometimes the best players aren't the favorites. Had the NBA brought more guys like this in the early 2000s, then their ratings wouldn't have dropped so badly.
White Chocolate, Stephan Marbury, there is a couple more but can't remember
“Sometimes the best players aren’t the favorites.”
My fav players are Lance Stephenson and Marcus Smart. People laugh when I say that, but the entertainment they add to the game is priceless
Sometimes you just need an opportunity. Salute 2 Skip for not giving up.
💯
Dope interview
Lol it's so funny and sad at the same time how Vlad tries to act like he's interested in your life story jus to pen point the drama and focus on that
Back in college, the and 1 tourney was amazing. We used to have our own names. Mine was Reefer Alston lmao
Met him when I worked in Lake Charles, Louisiana. One of the nicest guys I have ever met!!! Super guy! Great basketball player
He really is
Not just one of the most humble athletes or celebrities I’ve ever met
One of the most humble people
Honest
Funny
Always got a smile
Big Escalade ✊🏾
Rest in Power
Escalade's are automatically big
You can tell he’s a smart dude that’s wassup
I used to go crazy when I saw Skip on those mixtapes!!!
Damn if Rafer felt like sitting on the bench was a big deal imagine for a player like Melo.
Good listen
great history - Salute Rafer Alston - incredible saw him at music park in 2023, the park is known for star gazing .. salute
salute on the interview.. fuego
0:48 it’s ironic because now young players run the NBA
False
@@mr.perfect1749 true jimmy butler even said that on JJ reddick’s podcast that the league was full of old players back when he first got in the league
@@brendenwright9576 You noticed none of the young players have any say so in the league it's older players that run the league like Cp3 Lebron Durant. Lebron is almost 40 years old and is still the face of the league
Lol that’s not true
@@mr.perfect1749 you obviously don’t watch basketball
Skip2mylou gotta be one of the flyest nickname in sports history till this day...KD could've take that crown if he claimed The Slim Reaper...but he never did
Durantula is pretty good too
@@jasonmellone8902 ehhh…
Slim Reaper fits his game a lot better. If he was more defensive oriented I’d say “durantula” would be good.
Loved Skip game. Streetball to Fresno State to the league. True legend!
When Skip slapped bruh upside the head lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Alston would have done better in the finals as a starting point guard as opposed to Nelson in 09 when they faced the Lakers. Alston was consistent in the playoffs.
Escalade used to ball ppl up at like 450 he was one of my favorite and 1 players
He seems like a humble guy vremeber watching him when he was part on and 1 and in the nba.
I met him out in Milwaukee a few times, he was pretty cool.
That 2001 Bucks team needs be on 2K!
Hell yea with a young Ray and Micheal Redd💯
Yessur
@@haneefahson973 I dnt think MRedd was on the '01 team bro!
Bukcs vs 6ers '01 eastern conference finals....hoopin, hoopin!
@@haneefahson973 if he was, I dnt think he got much PT! Prolly was on the bench then!
Skip to my lou is a legend. Street ball/ And 1 LEGEND.
South side Jamican Queens 💪🏿
Tru hot sauce the goat tho
Basketball Legend
@@Rellbronjames9 no a Legend
@@Createyourluck23 hot sauce is trash
I just threw the whole blunt over the balcony... I guess I'm hearin' shyt @10:50 😂😂😂
Rafer a real cool chill guy, he use to goto my church in houston from like 08-2010
I'm still mad at Stan van Gundy for pulling Rafer from the team and putting Jameer back on as lead point guard just to get out asses kicked in NBA finals smh.
Orlando was going to lose either way, maybe would have stretched it to 6 but that's it. Kobe was on a mission bruh.
@@JQUE94 lol right some of these dudes in these comments don’t understand that it didn’t matter whether it was eager or jameer the magic weren’t beating the lakers that year period.
@@johndavis9321 In no way, shape or form could they have done it. Folks dont realize how good that team was, Kobe, Trev, LO, Pau, Bynum, Derek, Shanon Brown emergence and etc. Plus Phil Jackson will 10 out of 10 times out coach and strategize way better than Van Gundy
@@JQUE94 all facts
They would of lost either way lol but skip help get them to the finals as the starter he should of definitely ben starting in the finals…
Him, alimoe (RIP), and AO were NBA caliber players.
I remember AO played briefly in the NBA D League as well during the 2002-03 season.
And don’t forget the original Flash from Chicago. Shaq was way out of pocket for giving Dwade that nickname same with half man half amazing that was another and1 player before VC
Class act 💯
I remember i went over seas to play and I was not a starter for the first time in my life.. u talk about being pissed and humbled at the same time lol 😆
Skip is that dude who started the whole shit....Not saying he's the first person to play streetball like he did. But he's the first to bring it to the masses with and 1 and have a long NBA career
Rafer Alston was the man back then in And 1. My cousin would buy all the mixtapes from the back of this magazine. I grew up watching those and got into basketball because of this. Now that I’m older I see i was inspired by it especially seeing him get to the nba. Being teammates with T-mac and being able to play as him in nba street 2.
Congrats great guy super story👍
Not skipping this
That 03-04 Miami Heat team was SPECIAL man. I think Skip had the record for most consecutive 3pt shots to start the season
As a heat fan 14 yr old me was hype... My fav team my favorite player d Wade n skip!
Yall ever seen Rafer and Shotti (6’9 former manager) in the same room???
Legend 🙏
Great interview. Skip is so articulate. He could be a great commentator.
1 of my most favorite Orlando Magic players
10:48 pause 😂😂😂
Great interview! But the hard on comment for Jalen 😂😂 pause
😂😂😂😂 @10:49 I thought I was the only one trippin'!!!! That's why Jalen don't f*** with him now 😂😂😂
@@garythomas3660 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rafer Alston is a Houston Legend!! Real cool person!
Wouldn’t be a Vlad interview without mentioning two men having old issues ...Vlad everybody not you and hold onto shit forever
Facts
I remember watching him on the Raptors and he started doing some And 1 moves on this guy and i just remember going crazy thinking about the old times watching him and hot sauce and spyder
And Professor
@@jonathanwinston8148 white guy has to bring up professor
@@showmestatefinest5412 nigga the professor won the and 1 tour. I’m a nigga by the way. He beat spyder for the position to play on the and 1 team
Seen Skip at the Rucker in the late 90s. Definitely one of the best ball handlers I’ve ever seen.
good video
Vlad you outta pocket for not cutting that out lmao
Yooooo I said the same shit smh he definitely left that in on purpose..pause 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fax 😂😂😂😂
💀💀💀 I was like ayyyooo, lol.
Yeah, but it was like the middle of the segment...that's Rafer's fault lol
@@youcantwinifyoudontplay 🤣🤣🤣
Queens got a lot of legends across the board in Entertainment!
Love his story
When rafer was on the Raptors he enjoyed the nite life very very VERY much 🤣
I can corroborate. I recall seeing him and his crew indulging on many occasions to the point it became a running joke to see him. God bless dude
@Your Father99 wtf you on dude???
@Your Father99 lol
Spoken like a true gentleman. I only wish that more young men in my community who have difference of opinion sorted out like this congratulations
Rafer was my fav when he played for the Rockets
Legend
I remember when he was with the Rockets, it is crazy how Kyle Lowry use to play with them too.
i hope vlad ask him do he hold any resentment toward van gundy for that obvious bias line up call in the finals against L.A that one year. I was rooting for kobe, but it really rubbed me the wrong way how van gundy really made the last minute call of starting a injured jameer nelson in the finals even tho skip was the main pg/player outside of dwight that was making everything happen for em for them to even make the finals smh
Nelson was van gundy’s guy.. he said Kobe even told em they couldn’t guard him that finals he talked about this situation on baron davis point god podcast check it out 💯
@@zipacino92 link?
@@zipacino92 cuz it sounds to me like kobe orchestrated that bs jameer was not unguardable at any point of his career not even that season lolll
@@chrissavage5564 naw he said skip was unguardable that finals & he thanked skip for going back to his bench role 😂
It’s on Spotify an other platforms
Boy look like shotti
😂😂😂😂
Booooooo
Good vibes
Rafer is well spoken and quietly candid.
Skip to my Lou
Hot sauce
A.o
Escalade
Tha professor

Impressive list, but you left a few off 🤔
Who
* BONE COLLECTOR !
You know what pisses me off? that he is here before Knuckleheads, All the Smoke, Road Trippin, No chill - you name it...Vlad dont know shit about basketball...
Who?
Vlad pays
From what I’ve observed he don’t know much about sports period. He’s said before that he doesn’t follow sports closely which makes me think he didn’t really bring Rafer on to talk basketball. Vlad wanted to talk about the issue at Fresno St.
Go find a streetball channel wtf
Vlod only wants to interview ANYONE is to get the drama. He really doesn't have any knowledge about sports or entertainment in general.
Real man 💯
Dope
Idc what he says playing with a bad teammate makes you not like them as a person
